Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert is a live album by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It was released by Atlantic Records in October 1979 more as a contract-fulfilling album, since the band had broken up before then. It was later re-released and repackaged as Works Live in 1993.

Similar to most live albums, In Concert showcased fan favorites of previously released material. However, Peter Gunn, ELP's take on the classic TV theme song, was never released on any of their other albums. ELP frequently opened with this song on the Works Volume II tour.

The band hired a 70-piece orchestra for some concerts of this tour. On the original release, the orchestra performs on "C'Est la Vie" "Knife Edge", on Keith Emerson's piano concerto and on "Pictures at an Exhibition". Works Live adds other four songs performed with the orchestra: "Fanfare for the Common Man", "Abaddon's Bolero", "Closer to Believing" and "Tank".
