Keith Emerson - the greatest exponent of the keyboard in modern times. Not only was he capable of playing acoustic piano better than anyone of his generation, he also took the amazing Hammond organ to the furthest reaches of it's capabilities. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Keith siezed the MOOG Synthesizer and single-handed took it from an experimental instrument to the £100 keyboard that we take for granted today. Loved every minute of the seven times I saw ELP! Thank You Keith.

Emerson. The guy who didn't need an electric guitar to rock.

RIP Keith Emerson (1944-2016) RIP Greg Lake (1947-2016)

To me, this music reaches the parts other music can't reach. I'll never stop listening to ELP.

The Best Trio in the world on many levels!

Mind = Blown Keith's smile at 2:12 and Greg's smile at 2:13 = priceless! Keith plays the organ from the OTHER SIDE & jumps over it at 6:24 without skipping a beat. And the thing just gets faster and faster as it goes on!! Insanity and pure genius at the same time!!

those Hammond organs were really well made - that M-100 took a beating at every show and he could still finish the set without problems!

I saw Keith, Carl and Greg seven times - their work will never be bettered.

EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER, GRANDES ENTRE LOS GRANDES, POR SIEMPRE !!! 👍🙌

What a showman Keith Emerson was, he was to the keyboards what Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar in terms of flambouyant exciting playing. ELP and Jimi had agreed to jam together at some time but sadly he died before it happened.

RIP Keith,shine on you talented genius

Emerson was an absolute badass.

Keith Emerson, gênio do teclado. O Jimi Hendrix do Hammond.

They were so great, I even forgive them for "Love Beach".

R.I.P. Keith Emerson. Master of Keyboard. I will never forget you!!!

Saw Keith Emmerson with Nice around about 1967, in Newbury, supporting P P Arnold; it was a life-changing experience. Have seen many excellent concerts since then but few have come near to the excitement of that night. RIP Keith - you deserved a much better ending; you're sorely missed.

I saw them in 92 at Chastain Park in Atlanta,GA I was 20 years old,and it was fantastic...They were,and are the best group ever...Rest Well Keith...

Great stuff. The King of the Keyboards.

I have gotten into the habit of playing this video every morning when I get up. It really gets me going strong and then I go out and kick that day's ass !!! RIP "Fingers" and RIP Greg Lake !! You are both incredibly missed !!! Long live Carl Palmer !!! ELP FOREVER !!!!

The World's Best Three-Piece Band.

Mind blowing greatness. I LOVE RONDO!

R.I.P Keith Emerson. I will always miss you

Gosh, those three were incredibly fast., their technique will remain unrivalled for a long time to come, I reckon. Thank you so much for sharing your genius with us, Mr Emerson.

great piece here...RIP MAESTRO

Gotta love Keith Emerson ... equal parts wunderkind and mad man on those keyboards!

RIP Keith my friend - You're free now and I hope you and all your recently departed maestros and friends like Chris Squire are showing the next dimension what music is all about. You certainly showed me.

in 1970 - who could have asked for more - inSANE !

RIP. Caught you back in 1992 at Waterloo on the Black Moon tour. One of the best shows ever.

Keith,Greg, and Carl expanded your consciousness .. cheers mate!

I really have no idea how his brain worked. Absolutely amazing.

I’ve gigged rock n roll keyboard. When talking about other players, I tell people that with enough practice I could probably play most of what I can hear, except Emerson. I once saw him take on a murderously difficult Chopin etude I wouldn’t touch, but he of course took it a step further and played it while he and his concert grand piano were spinning vertically end over end at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A crowd well into six figures and I was probably the only person not intoxicated on the premises, so I know I wasn’t hallucinating. Now of course there are other spinning piano performances available on KZfaq, though I’ve never seen a version with the Chopin Etude.

What an amazing piece! The crazy genius at at around the 5:45 mark onwards......extraordinary!!! RIP Keith Emerson

i love this man

This musc and those antics spoke to my anger and rage as a teen.

Good musicians never die, they only fade away.

seit 50 Jahren Gänsehaut pur! Herrlich!

Brubeck's Blue Ronda A la Turk played in 4 instead of 9/8 time....love it!!

RIP Gênio!!!!!

I saw dozen's of shows back in the 70's & 80's and 3 bands I failed to ever go see were ELP, Pink Floyd, and The Moody Blues. I still kick myself in the ass over it.

RIP Keith. We love you.

HEARD THIS SONG APROXIMATELY 50 YEARS AGO......SINCE THEN FOUND JESUS....MY WAY HOME...

I play guitar a little bid but I've always thought that if I had a choice I would chose to be like Keith Emerson! May he rest in peace!

GRANDI X SEMPRE E L P.

Ho Yeah...great Emerson,Lake & Palmer,i Love!!!

Per quanto riguarda invece questa esibizione live del trio devo dire che RONDÒ patrimonio della band precedente di EMERSON cioè i NICE è molto coinvolgente brillante e ben eseguita dal gruppo e poi devo dire che EMERSON rip non era solo un grandissimo tastierista e musicista ma era anche un acrobata , si vede nel filmato saltare da una tastiera all' altra con dei balzi da vero atleta , e non perdendo un colpo ,suonando e tenendo il tempo con gli altri due , INCREDIBILE fenomenale quello che fece e che probabilmente abitualmente faceva durante le esibizioni i concerti con la band !!!!! Erano DAVVERO dei musicisti fatti di un altra PASTA rispetto a quelli di oggigiorno che mi fanno venire il LATTE ai cosiddetti !!!!!!

Shine on!!!

Improvisations or off the cuff had to be a difficult arraignment but Emerson could pull it off with no prob. An entertaining extravaganza! Thank you Keith. Loved your music. r.i.p.

PERFECTION is (and was) his name!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Keith Emerson...the master

Emerson, the mad genius!

this is my favorite ELP video yet

Legends. Superb!

Absolutely stunning musicianship as well as smart use of sound and even the mechanical aspects of the instruments...

R.I.P, Master Emerson

FANTASTIC!

I witnessed Keith, Greg and Carl several or eight times. They exceeded each performance by the next. Their individual talents added up to approximately 19 times the sum of the individuals.

Gregg had a so sublime, exalted voice which giveth a special brand to the band, than Emerson who looks as a medieval knight which always tamed that monstrous Moog modular synth, and Palmer with his "fiercy army of drums" when in motion a menace to any drummers of the time, an incredible trio they was, no match anymore.

Keith was to Keyboards what Jimi was to the Guitar - I was there!

...che pezzo! Da pelle d'oca. Grandissimi!

That poor L102 didnt know what hit it ! AWESOME VIDEO !!! Great video !!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 What a TRIO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

incomparable Emerson SHOW Y MUSICA

Absolutely gobsmacking! I've never seen that before and I've been a fan since '72, when I heard Tarkus in the common room at school - mindblowing it was! Keith, you are an inspiration to me, Lor' bless yer mate, wherever you are.

When your keyboard teacher tells you to play with emotion.

still love it!!

Boy is that fun to watch And hear

Keith Emerson ,assim como Jimi Hendrix e Keith Moon não eram desse planeta. Eles devem estar em seu planeta de origem, tocando para previlegiados

Thank you keith I saw the Nice many times. And l still think you got the best sound from a hammond l've ever heard .

DO CARALHO CARA, ME ARREPIO ATÉ HOJE COM ESSAS PERFORMANCES DE KEITH. NUNCA VAI MORRER PRA MIM.

this would be the perfect concert to take your grand mother to see! great stuff!

Just amazing. Maybe the best.

Awesome!

Monsters of the musical universe!

MAD GENIUS 🎹

Keith Emerson (2 November 1944 - 11 March 2016) Greg Lake (10 November 1947 - 7 December 2016) Carl Palmer

Jimi was such a huge fan of Emerson, he got the Nice as his startup band when he was on tour. Jimi even got caught behind the stage speakers once, trying to film Emerson with a Super 8 camera. lol

Amazingly Talented…

One word:powerful.

Magnificient

I saw them in 90's year's in my town in sicily . I don't believe it

Absolutely awesome!

The three genius that will be never borned again

maestro

This is beyond awesome

Eternamente bellos.jovenes y Geniales. Gracias! !!!💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Best concert I ever went to ELP

fantastic - awesome band - thanks for sharing

The Hammond Organ is a Armor Plated Battle Tank, it’s like a time-z watch awesome 😎 . .

RIP Keith.

The greatest.

R.I.P Greg Lake

crazy stuff ............. at that time i was a young boy 11 years - they were fare away and in future ...... amazing

Masterpiece, grandes ELP..en 1970..

とっても素晴らしいです！

Love this! It came from Blue Rondo a La Turk by the Dave Brubeck quartet which we played in college in the early 70's. Amazing how Keith took these classics and transformed them! Listen to the Nutrocker too. It came from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite Op 71a which we also played. Keith was musical genius! ♥️

I feel his whole life Keith's genius was lost on most people, even other musicians, and that maybe haunted him. But listen to some of his compositions on piano. Our minds haven't evolved enough to appreciate them. This is incredible too.

I saw this concert on tour.

They really should have nicknamed him "Keithboard" Emerson.

When they kept re-releasing certain songs ... it reminded me of Bullwinkle pulling the rabbit out of the hat .."This Time For Sure !"

after all these years i only realised now that this is a Dave Brubeck cover!

Safe to say some copies of that album were bought the next day
