I swear Keith still plays through Rachel..when I close my eyes I really can't tell much if any difference.Shes an amazing keyboardist as was Keith She brings tears to my eyes.Thank you Rachel for keeping ELP alive.

Never saw a score or a note, never saw a key, never saw Keith Emerson's face. And never, never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for bringing me a little joy in this sucky time.

Nobody on this planet plays ELP music with the accuracy like Rachel does..truly amazing.

Carl Palmer should be touring with her now in 2024.

She includes the excerpt from "Epitaph," the way ELP played it live, at least on "Welcome Back My Friends...." So cool!

Rachel has been WOWING us for years with E.L.P. Incredible talented young woman. We love you Rachel!!!

Rachel is unquestionably one the wonders of the world. It is simultaneously humbling and uplifting to be able to witness her genius. God rest Keith and God bless Rachel.

Rachel is the only keyboard player in the world able to perform Keith Emerson’s music almost perfectly… She is an amazing woman and a great performer. Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood where I fell in love with ELP.

The only thing missing from this amazing performance is Greg Lake’s angelic voice.

We needa get her and Carl to perform together!

Brilliant, Rachel is so talented and to perform Tarkus on Keith's rig must have been very emotional for her.

Rachel is the next best keyboard player to Keith Emerson. No one else compares! She is just simply AWESOME!

The best keyboardist in the world since Keith

Just to hear this done on this equipment brings a tear to the eye . I was 15 when the original album came out and saw ELP play this and this turned me into a prog rock fan . It wasn't called prog rock then but I knew it was special . There are very few people who can play this with such accuracy . Rachael is the right one to be doing this .Her memory is amazing . Thanks for doing this . It's special for someone like me !

Watching her play literally brought tears of joy to my eyes as a drummer/percussionist I grew up dissecting and practicing all of ELP's works, never could find a single keyboard player that could play it, consequently spent my entire playing career in mediocre rock bands feeling held back, you, young lady are simply amazing to me, I'm quite sure where ever Kieth and Greg are right now they are all smiles.

Saw ELP in concert, incredible. Have all LPs, listened to them many times. To hear and see Rachel play this brought chills to me. The organ drawbar settings sounded spot on. The notes spoke as the sounds danced with the silence.

The manticore still lives!

Knowing every note of Tarcus, this is just magnificient 😁😁😁 . No one could play it better, except author ! And I hear Greg Lake in confussion. Impossible...bowl of tears...

I saw ELP on ABCs Friday night IN CONCERT, from their performance at the CALIFORNIA JAM. When they aired it a few months later I actually got my mother to watch it. It wasn't her type of music, but she was impressed with the mellower stuff that Keith played on the piano. I also saw EMERSON LAKE & POWELL at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington!! A few years ago, I was looking for something to watch on YouBoob😂, and I saw that there were videos by some girl and my 1st reaction was to ignore them because there are many people who think they are all that when, truth be told, they are crap! Then I changed my mind and decided to see if she was anygood. And she was AMAZING! I DON'T RECALL what the first two videos were, but the 3rd one started with a video call with her and KEITH EMERSON. Then it showed her playing on the piano. Then the synthesizer started playing, and she moved to Moog, with her arms stretched-out, and I INSTANTLY burst into tears! I contacted her mother, who confirmed that RACHEL FLOWERS was blind!!!

Rachel, I have played keyboards since I was 4 years old, can't read a note of music and I have my eyesight. You are absolutely amazing and an inspiration to many! I am now 70 years old and even in my dreams I couldn't play like you do! You have done Keith Proud!

As a long time fan of ELP, the sight of Rachel, wearing a vest and playing the legend's own rig, just put me in tears. Keith's legacy is in good hands.

Keith is smiling and nodding approval. I'm just in awe

I remember the first time I heard Rachel play Tarkus many years ago. I'm still listening and have no plans to stop. She's keeping ELPs flame burning for us!I know they're all proud to have such a worthy heir. Thanks again Rachel for entertaining us with your incredible talent. You are truely amazing! Im always following you and hope I can see you live one day! Thanks Jeanie for all the nurturing and encouragement you have given to her!

Oh my... just hearing this for the first time in 2024. What a beautiful performance.

The music lives on in this amazing young woman.

Impressing!!! If someone is titled to carry Keiths legacy then it's Rachel!

Rachel's phrasing is unparalleled in her channelling Keith Emerson's spirit. Bravissimo!

I am 64 and have Tarkus on my disk player in my jeep...What a joy to see it played!!! Thank you!!!

This was a top notch performance of Tarkus. I’ve always appreciated Keith Emerson’s compositions, there’s something to be said for them in that so many artists been able to produce yet another arrangement of Tarkus, Trilogy, EE Fugue, and so forth. Of them, Rachel Flowers has been by far the best. She is not only note-for-note perfect, she also has the spirit of the music. She occasionally throws in something extra that ELP did only in the live performances, yet she is careful not to overdo that aspect. If there’s a grade above A-plus, this performance deserves it.

Keith surely left a daughter in this world

The reverence, honoring the original brings us all back to when we heard ELP the first time. 😳

Rachel is such a gift. Thanks for keeping Keith's music still alive. He's smiling down on you.

There's no better way to start the day than listening to Rachael Flowers play ELP or Zappa.

If you close your eyes and just listen to the music, you would think it was Keith playing, Rachel's performance is so accurate what a remarkable young woman she is, we also know there was a special bond of musical awareness of each other's talent between them.

I start listening Rachel one month ago. She is incredible. I strongly suggest her album "bigger on the inside" as a prog rock, jazz listener of 50 years she is the most promising artist l listened in 10 years. Coming back to KE. She is playing with love. Well underrated, go and listen in spotify and youtube to support her.

She’s one of the best keyboardists ever, both when she covers Emerson and when she plays her own pieces.

This amazing woman has captured my heart and imagination. What an incredible talent.

She sure does play that like Keith Emerson. Tarkus is such an amazing piece of music! All that's missing is Carl's percussion and Greg's bass & vocals: "has the dawn ever seen your eyes?..."

Anybody who does not beleive in the sharing of souls only needs to listen to this.

RACHEL is a beautiful bouquet of FLOWERS !!!!!

This young lady is unbelievably awesome.Immensely talented.I can't begin to imagine how she learned all this.She bravely faces off with Keith's modular Moog synthesizer & Hammond (don't know if that's the L-100 or C3)organ.Talk about a role model for today's young musicians.

No digital keyboard can copy the sound of that C-3! Sounds amazing!!

Rachel Flowers!!!...The Real and Only who can deserve Keith Emerson legacy;..mind, touch, senses, respectable behavior, silky hands...as long perhaps could last...Blessing from God🎉🎉🎉😊🙏💐💐💐🎹🎶🎶🎵❤️💙💚

I heard Emerson play this twice live, though never the full suite. It is such a complex thing that even he, in his later years and with his terrible hand problems, could no longer play. I have heard orchestral versions, piano versions, and, of course, Jordan Rudess applying all of his awesome technique and technological wizardry. There have been many others who have tried to tackle, usually, no more than a portion of this masterpiece. And here is Rachel, completing the essential triangle, the Music, the Maestro, and the Instrument. None is complete without the others. Nothing on earth sounds like this awesome Hammond, that opening ostenato a mix of key-click and second harmonic percussion which paints a picture of lava lumps hitting the ground from the eruption. The soulful pipes of epitaph that wrung tears from my eyes. But I doubt that there is anyone left who could have penetrated the very soul of this piece but Rachel. I would very happily pay a very great deal of money to hear her do it live. In the meantime, this is the version of Tarkus that I will always now regard as definitive. Thank you, Rachel.

She has even inserted Crimson's Epitaph as played on the triple live 😀

What a fantastic performance by the absolutely brilliant Rachel Flowers! I got so emotional watching this... imagining both Keith and Greg smiling in Heaven. The way Rachel incorporated the notes Greg sang with the score Keith played... even the "Epitath" elements Greg sang in later performances... just so beautiful. I heard ELP perform at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1977... using this equipment. Mind Blown! Thank you, Rachel and EMEAPP!!! I will now share this on social media! I hope Carl Palmer sees it!

she’s so talented , she easily could’ve decided to play strictly classical music but the fact that she chose to dedicate a part of her journey to prog music is a gift to us prog fans around the world ! God Bless you Rachel 🙏🏻 love from Canada’s East Coast 🇨🇦

Fantastic. Search in youtube 1.- First Impression 2.- Second Impression, and 3.- Third impression, all of three a international colaboration with Rachel Flowers, an put the 3 together. I promise that you will be in musical heaven.

Now that's some serious talent! Wow.

Just a stunning performance. Mind blowing.

レイチェル、素晴らしい演奏をありがとう♪

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE AND COMMITMENT RACHEL. WE LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS

Goosebumps! I got yer goosebumps here! Holy smokes, this is amazing.

Incredible and absolutly amazing ! Rachel you are fantastic

If only Palmer could have done the drums for this...Rachel is such a rock star.

No words!!!!! Incredible Rachel. Thank You for sharing

Hearing Rachel’s work before was always amazing but hearing it performed on Keith Emerson’s actual keyboards and synthesizers brought it up quite a notch…outstanding 👍👍

Lots of Love Rachel. You really rekindle the flame. Keith will always be an inspiration. X.

Wonderful woman ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That truly brought tears to my eyes. Bravo!

Rachel is sent from God PERIOD

👏🏻👏🏻🥺 Bravo, Rachel! You've make me cry! You've got Emerson's musical soul!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Keith is applauding from heaven!

Never seen this before. It's out of this world.

Speechless young lady! You are "Amazing" with a capital "A"

This lady is really incredible!

Rachel you are a phenomenal musician. You chaneled Keith through your playing. Thank you so much

Amazing. Keith keeps playing through Rachel’s hands.God bless her!!!

Shes so amazing Long live ELP 🎙🎸🎛

Unbelievable . . it's like listening to Keith . .well done Rachel.

Unbelievable. Rachel is an absolute virtuoso - musicianship doesn't get any higher than this. The recording is also so great, even with headphones this is so fantastic. Ill have to spin this on my hifi with my B&W sub :). Thanks Rachel, Keith, and everyone else who was involved here. This is a legendary event beautifully captured, this is history!

I just watch and listen again and again .. I am amazed more each time .. precision ... perfection

Rachel, you are amazing. You make us smile, as well as Keith. You have kept Keith alive 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹👍👍👍👍

Absolutely stunningly amazing rendition. It is like Keith was there it was so well played.

Rachel, You've taken me back to a place very special. Thank You very much. You have evoked my emotions.

Thank you for playing this piece. It was wonderful.

As a keyboard player myself and an Emerson devotee for over 40 years, to see Rachel stripped down to just the Hammond and the Moog, playing Tarkus note for note verbatim as Keith wrote and played it, is nothing less than astonishing and of course a gift from God. If I was a Emerson "tribute player" like I see all over KZfaq, I would be embarrassed. She played Tarkus better than any dude on KZfaq with eye site and she is blind! The other thought that came to mind...Keith in his final years of failing health, had to cancel a Japanese tour because his fingers just could not function anymore and he had liver damage and heart disease. He had just found out that his friend and band mate Greg Lake was battling cancer. He knew Rachel existed and was performing music he could no longer perform himself. That would weigh heavy on anybody's heart and psyche. Did that contribute to his suicide? I would think so. I say these things with tears in my eyes. Thanks for the music and the memories Keith and thank you Rachel for continuing to astonishing me. Show less

Rachel is the GOAT of the keyboard

I have been an ELP fan from their inception 'from the beginin' :-) but have only just discovered your Channel - what can I say - what an amazing talent you are !!! No one could listen to you playing and not know it wasn't Keith on keyboard, really enjoyed Tarkus when you played it on Keith's equipment brilliant ! If he's looking down on you he must be smiling and wondering at your ability - rock on Rachel !

I would like your ELP videos to be so bombed so that the Rock and Roll hall of fame would take shame and finally include them in their well-deserved place. It's sad to see so many nullities out there and the ELP to be forgotten.

If it were not for the video, you could swear that was Keith playing. Epic!

Great performance, Rachel. Sending you love.

Bravissima, master of the Hammond organ, master of the modular Moog !!

I saw Keith Emerson in 1986 at the Rosemont Horizon with Emerson Lake and Powell which was absolutely amazing.

Extremely talented. Exquisite job. One of my favorite ELP Keith Emerson composition

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!! I just fell in love here! Wow! It just ended and I am in total awe of this performance!! It is so perfect to me as I sat in the 2nd row at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in NY for the Brain Salad Surgery tour! They Played Tarkus and your rendition just has me with watery eyes upon the completion of the work! So I just sent a friend request on Fb! I am a life long drummer and singer and I had no problem hearing the drums and vocals to your performance! What an absolute treat this was! 🎹 💖 🌹 💞 🎶🎵 ❤️

Fantastic - I first came across Rachel's music last night on KZfaq - I'm already a fan. I just purchased "Bigger On The Inside" and "Going Somewhere." I live in Spain now and I hope we can see Rachael here in Europe one day.

I have no words. Only tears of joy. Percussion on the keyboards.

Rachel is not from this world ! She's an E.T. send by God himself. She's an Angel !

speachless, what a talent...Emerson is very very proud up there listening her to perhaps, his most complicated composition

She channels Keith! The improvisation and everything…this is definitely not a rote performance! Love the Epitaph quote in there. This music and the people who made it live on through artists like Rachel Flowers. ❤

I was fortunate enough to attend Keith's tribute show at the El Rey theater where so many great musicians performed his music to honor him, including his son. As we waited in line outside the theater, this wonderful young lady approached with her mother, as she was one of the performers that evening. She was so sweet and she played her heart out for her friend. Bless you, Rachel ... keep this music alive with your outstanding talents. We are out here listening to your every note and we love you!

You’re absolutely G.R.E.A.T. Rachel!!! Love and admiration from me and my family here in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! ❤️🖖🏻

Outstanding performance. Someone please put Rachel and Carl together.

GOD keep it for a long time, recreating us with these delights, which she keeps alive, with her undeniable talent ... "E.L. & P. ​​Live in Rachel's Heart. " NEVER STOP RACHEL, WE LOVE YOU ... !!! 💖 A HUG from Rosario, Argentina.

I have said it before dear Rachel, you are Kieth's legacy for the rest of us. Thank You, wonderful lady.

What an astonishing talent!

Love this girl, incredible and amazing Keith would be very proud of her ✨

My understanding is that Keith Emerson knew this young woman. I'm sure he would've been very proud to hear her play this so well. Rest in peace, Keith. She's doesn't stab it with daggers, though... does she?

She was fortunate enough to meet her hero, before he tragically left us. Even more fortunate was her ability to use the Emerson arsenal of keyboards. Her performance with Dweezil Zappa, on guitar, is also to be viewed, if you haven't already.
