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 California Jam performance (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 band's best-known pieces are present, with "Karn Evil 9: First Impression, Part 2", "Take a Pebble" and "Lucky Man" appearing twice, as part of each period's set lists.

Notable inclusions are "A Time and a Place" from Tarkus, which hadn't been performed live prior to the 1998 tour, and an abbreviated version of King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man", in the arrangement Emerson, Lake & Palmer recorded for The Return of the Manticore in 1993.
