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.

Ahh...nooo, theres no such thing as 'the best pianist in the world' or "the best [insert musical instrument here] in the world"because to qualify you would have to be the best keyboard player in every possible genre and style of music ever written on that instrument, which clearly he isnt. He is without doubt one of the best three Prog Rock keyboard players ever, and one of the other two must be Rick Wakeman. Suggest you start at that point.

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!

It wasn't an m-100..... It was an L100..... The main difference was the on/off switch that Keith abused! The m100 had the same switch as the C3, B3 and A100..... An on/ off switch and motor ignition/'run' switch...... The L100 simply had an on/ off switch.... That when abused would effect the pitch of the organ when turned on and off! I own the same model of organ...... And also owned an M100......

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.

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 KZread, 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

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 !!!!!!

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.

Good musicians never die, they only fade away.

They really should have nicknamed him "Keithboard" Emerson.

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! ♥️
