@ricardoak thanks for sharing that incredible experience with us! Yes, it does seem that many bands of the past had genius musicians playing in them. I'm thankful/glad I grew up in that era! Regards.......
Keith Emerson of ELP.....Rest in Peace!
We've lost another great one today, Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer ( ELP ). Sad as he was not very old. A great keyboard player. He, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer were way ahead of their time I always thought. The way they mixed jazz and classical with rock was amazing. I know what I'll be doing later today/tonight; listening to "Fanfare For The Common Man", Works Vol. I., etc. Rest in peace Keith, and thank you for the great songs and memories.

One of the best live concerts of my long list , I went to see ELP in Brazil on a small venue around 5.000 people , not so long ago ELP where in their mid 50s they played all the classics , more mature they payed better than on the 70s and 80s,one of the moments I cant ever forget is when Keith laid on his belly on top of the grand piano and played at full speed , at that particular position the keys and hands are inverted, genius. how come only 3 guys can produce such incredible music impact and perfection , R.I.P. Keith. |
Out of the hundreds and hundreds of concerts that I have attended, one of the best was an ELP show. WOW, what musicians. R.I.P. Keith http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/keith-emerson-emerson-lake-and-palmer-keyboardist-dead-at-71-... |
