Then and Now is a live album by British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1998.

It brings together two separate periods of the band's career and places them back-to-back. First is the legendary performance at the 1974 Cal Jam ("the Then"), which took place at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, California on 6 April 1974. Second a collection of recordings from the 1997 to 1998 reunion tour ("the Now").

Most of the bands best known pieces are present with 'Karn Evil 9: First Impression', 'Take a Pebble' and 'Lucky Man' appearing twice as part of each period's set lists.
