Amen brothers of keys! Admire, inspire Moves our souls, as yours! Great journalism piece & I still play & aspire To sound great!

What a wonderful tribute to a great artist! I am a drummer and Carl Palmer had the same effect on me!

Do you know that Hendrix almost joined ELP in 1970..?? the band could of been called HELP

@@MrGTO-ze7vb He was supposed but he died.

@@MrGTO-ze7vb And he supposed to play with Miles Davis in Bitches Brew, but died before decide to. Yikes, so many possibilities and died young ;(

@@MrGTO-ze7vb Would've been the greatest band period. Could you imagine the sonic possibilities??

@@joro8604 sorry not true..Hendrix had already moved on by the time ELP got together

Agreed.

I agree with that....👍

Patrick moraz ius p there...

i'd put rick wakeman on that list.

And when you read some of the circumstances surrounding his death you realize just how hurtful words can be to people. It was his fans that caused a lot of his depression and taking of his own life. Why his fan base was so cruel is just shameful, why people would expect a 71 year old to preform at the same level as he did at 35 is just disgraceful the man deserved so much better than that... Rest well Kieth see you on the other side.🌈

Kent Christiansen could you explain your comments a little more please? I was not aware

@@dchas5408 if you read about some of circumstances surrounding his death you will be saddened. Yes his death was self inflicted but his reasons were just so sad, as I said it was the fans that were the ones that were a big part of his demise. So again rest well Keaith Emerson when life returns to you we will all rejoice.

I'm 21. I'm first heard Trilogy in 2009 with 14 years old, an later searching the rest of the discography by ELP and Keith. Around 2014 I knew about a cancelled piece in 1998 called Crossing the Rubicon. Was played live in 1998 but cancelled before they're split out for the second time. Emerson played the piece in the Godzilla Final Wars OST in 2004, but no news about the non-album. They say it exists an original demo made by Keith in 1998, but I don't find it! A great homage to Keith, would uncover that lost piece, the last great ELP composition by Keith and what it could be the last ELP masterpiece. And, if it was possible, to make it a postmortem ELP album with new parts by Greg and Carl.

+Ariel Mederdrut (Fuki Makai) Heartwarming to read a comment made by a young man in love with Prog.

DITTO.

Thank you. Argentina is a country where prog rock has almost no popularity between younger than 30s people. In 70s, young to adult audience cheered every Wakeman album coming out. They wanted to know what's new with that maestro. I read it in an interview in Clarín when Rick came to Argentina in 2014. I had the great luck to been able to see him the October 19th, but that was the last show I was able to go to.

+Ariel Mederdrut (Fuki Makai) Now THAT eould be something worth its weight in gold and diamonds!

yes the greatest keyboardist to ever live. he could play anything, compose anything.

DrSauce Losing that ability was too much To bare I'm not a musician but I've been Diagnosed with CMT a Nerve damaging disease I'm left handed and have Lost most strength in that hand so to be a Keyboard player of Keith Emerson Stature Legend And lose that gift yeah I can understand

Paul Baily the band Head East the band Head East headaches

So did I, my friend. So did I.

He didn't die because he couldn't play anymore. I'm sure it didn't help that he lost his ability to play. He ended his life because disgusting (So Call Fans) jerks on the internet were trashing him...and he was already feeling horrible that he let his fans down.

you didnt get lots of "thumbs up" because they didn't understand. i did and appereciated your comment. enjoyed NICE as much as anything

@@frereanaktom99 Thank you. Keith was brilliant and quite a showman. When that grand piano went up in the air, then spun end over end at Cal Jam, I totally lost it!

KE9 Pt.1 Intro has been my cell phone ringtone for several years. Gets me every time...

A drummer here also. I was a huge ELP fan in the 70's. And while I looked more to drummers like Bruford, Collins, Peart, B. Barlow, Moon, and A. White for inspiration it was Greg Lake's voice and Keith Emerson's keys that had me hooked. 'Pirates' is one of my all-time favorites by any band. And to this day I still get that same delight when I hear 'Lucky Man' and know the Moog solo is coming up.

Me too bro, love the drums....

I always wanted to play drums, but I play keyboard (because it's more affordable or "neighbour-safe" to play at home ).

Thanks for watching!

I agree

Because we don't celebrate true artist...

Mgtow Values let me buy you a beer 🍺

I am also a life long fan, heard them for the first time around '76. Heard most of their music. Simply put, BRILLIANT! Although, putting hIm in the same sentence as Mozart, well, no one is perfect.

Mgtow Values - WORD! I love you, mate. Cheers.

Actually I had. Many have watch the movie Forbidden Planet. No music. It was titled electronic tonalities. Bebe and Louis Baron used synthesizer electronics of their own design. They were up for an Oscar but the musicians union claimed they used no musical instruments so were ineligible.

Exactly right.

sloppy. get a life

Suzanne Curry nah It’s just very rare

Greetings from Brazil! I always heard this beautiful songs with my father and I still have the vinyl records.

Progresive Rock had a revival in the 2010. Mainstream artists like LSD Soundsystem proclaimed their love for progresive bands, twenty one pilots copied the Concept Album formula and in general everyone looks up to 70s Progresive Music. From the 1980 to the 2000 Prog rock was hated with popular bands likes Sonic Youth and Radiohead saying how much they hate prog. Time have changed.

Suzanne Curry that’s such a bs line lmao

@@bemersonbakebarmen Radiohead shunning prog comparisons is absolute ridiculousness. Kid A is just as prog as anything Pink Floyd put out.

I hear you. Wore out Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery. Lol Still own the vinyls. Just don't play them much after transferring them to digital format.

I remember when Lucky Man came out. There were other people already who did use a moog, and several that sounded pretty. But this end of Lucky Man was jaw-dropping at this time. A majestic, grande, towering sounds never ever heard before.

!971, I'm playing pool with 12th grade friends during pm break... Okay, skipping courses ! Anyway, FM radio playing in the pool hall, next to school. My turn to play. Then I hear this: Lucky Man. Stunned. Froze right there. Friends: "yo, hey, play the damn ball!" No way, listen to this ! Everyone goes " what the f....k is that ?? Rushed to the nearest record store. "what you talking' about, man? " Next day, EVERYONE in town is talking about these ELP guys. Stores ran out of stock. 2 days after, ta dammm, my prize 33 LP in hand. Rushed to the school "radio", cut the crap man, play this like, NOW. Major turbulence. Art class teacher, George, comes down to the basement radio room: "What the heck ? Who's that ?" Sold him the record twice what I paid! Of course, bought back another copy... Sweet memories. When "Pictures at an exhibition" came out, did the same. Awesome. Guys(mostly) rushing to our radio room: "Who the f...k is that ??" Kept it this time as a rare import. Still have it. Still listen to it sometimes. Lost youth memories. :-)))

1971: I'm in a local band. Heard the first ELP album and was knocked out. Had been following Keith since the Nice days, but this was a whole new level. Saw them at the Fillmore East in 1971, when they were still playing theaters. What energy! They played until 2:30 in the morning. Next: stopped over a friend's house and he pops "Tarkus" on his old sofa size stereo. I'm sitting there going "WTF!" Didn't understand it then, but went right out and got the album and fell in love. Tarkus has the most amazing solos - not just playing notes; playing THE RIGHT notes - can't imagine even thinking of improvising them - they would have to be played exactly as written. Of course, as soon as I had the money I bought a Hammond B3 and a Minimoog D. Still have the Minimoog. Couldn't cover ELP songs (none of us were close to that good), but had fun doing Genesis, Pink Floyd, Tubes and a whatever prog you could get away with playing in bars. Still get a lump in my throat when I think of Keith and the possibilities - could you imagine KE TED talks about Minimoogs, touring and the process of creating those incredible albums? RIP Keith - we'll be talking about you for the rest of our lives.

First take solos are usually the best.

That one low bass note was never played before in the music at that time I heard, my speakers would flab out on it.

Thank you for watching!

Him and Rick Wakeman.The Sacred Two.

Caroline Locke Aye.

Jordan Rudess said "Well, I started out as a classical pianist. I started playing at the age of seven and when I was nine I found myself auditioning for the Juilliard School of Music, Preparatory division. Basically this began a very serious childhood practicing many hours in the day and really focused on classical piano and, I guess, one of the most serious conditions that would be possible at the Juilliard in New York. That really lasted until I was like 17 or 18 and then I started to get interested in other kinds of music. People in high school started turning me on to Progressive Rock like Genesis, Gentle Giant or ELP. I started to get very deep into this new kind of music I was checking out and I remember this other big turning point was when I heard the Emerson Lake & Palmer’s Tarkus album. It showed me that keyboards could indeed play the super powerful role in music instead of just the piano kind of sounds or the Jazz idiom where things are maybe a little lighter."

Well yeah....if it weren't for Franz Liszt...

"THE NICE AND ATOMIC ROOSTER......." And don't forget KING CRIMSON!

JonBenait06...why the downer comment? Can't understand why people like to rain on others parade.

One of the first songs I ever learned on guitar, and still play it sometimes in my covers repertoire.

Steve Charno kieth’s keyboard is there as well, in front of Moog’s 1st compleat board. More than a little impressive. I was taken To the home of Moog’s chief tech engineer in 1975, in Berkeley. B&W TVs on in every room. 2 or more upright pianos with hugh

Al F , Peace. I grew up in N. Maine and so didn’t have the opportunity to see a lot of acts in my late teens to fifties. I’m 63 now and have been playing primarily woodwinds for over 40 yrs. elp is still at the top of my list. Not a week goes by I don’t listen to Tarkus. RIP, Keith. RIP, Greg.

Emerson also helped me handle my middle school (Granada/Hillview) and high school years (MVHS). I promised myself that if I could learn Emerson's work it would prove that I was ok. I started playing late and would play 8+ hours every day. Eventually I was able to play a good deal of his work and it allowed me to begin to heal and accept myself as a worthwhile person. Glad that you also found acceptance through KE.

Yes, I saw them at Madison Square Garden. My ears were in pain for many days. 5th row might be part of the problem. But, loved the concert and music otherwise. Such a great time and great memories.

Sven Amundsen I was 18 the first time I saw ELP and went on to see them every time they came to the Tampa Bay Area,right until I joined the USAF in 74. They are still my favorite band from the 70’s. I wept the day Keith passed. Rest In Peace Keith,you are sorely missed.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😰

@@fw1421 A supergroup in Hard Rock Music, that could sell out consecutive nights at a sports arena, where the focal point of instrumentation, was NOT the electric guitar. I say hard rock, because that band had muscle. They were loud, while still creating beauty. And just a trio, with a bass player that had one of the best voices in rock music.

Thank you Keith, Rick and Marián Varga for everything you did for me.

Tyrone, You are probably right. I also came to the conclusion, many years ago, that Carl Palmer was probably the best all around rock-'n-roll drummer. I must also add that I've always adored the rich quality of Greg Lake's voice, both in King Crimson and ELP. This was a very good tribute video about Keith Emerson. Thanks, Kenny/nice job. Your comments were excellent.

@@AF276300 Ehhh...as great a drummer as Palmer was/is, and Greg Lakes' many talents, THE MOST talented musician in ELP was, of course, Keith Emerson!!! Without question!!!

Thank you!
