Keith Emerson was an absolute monster keyboard player!

Keith Emerson the one and only. The only man able to play with three fingers much more better than anyone else with ten. Simply, the greatest!!!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

This was done at the Moscow show in 2008. Even with 3 fingers going, Emerson could outplay anyone. I (I was his tech) recall hearing the bass player say - Man, how do you do it? I get one note in for every 32 you play). I miss the guy terribly. These were the best and fun days for him.

OK, I miss him too as he was an inspiration for me all of my life. But cmon, he unfortunately couldn´t outplay good keyboardists at this stage of his inability anymore. I watched 2 shows of the reunited ELP in Germany and I felt so immensely sorry for him as he couldn´t play his old stuff properly. Everything was very sloppy and I was always afraid of him when they announced a piece that was difficult to play. But it was a funny experience in the audience back then. I watched him play, but in my mind mixed it with my memories of times when he was at his prime. And by the way, I never understood that he kept on playing live. He could have composed or arranged music. Or he could have been a teacher or whatever. But no, he obviously insisted to keep on playing although that was hardly possible.

One of the greatest keyboardists of all time, RIP Keith Emerson

Emerson was leagues beyond Wakeman, but I do absolutely love Wakeman's keyboard work with Yes, Close to the Edge is a timeless masterpiece and Wakemans contribution there still sounds as amazing as ever!

Great Keith Emerson. Excellent !!!

Wow! I love the music from the entire ballet. This knocked my hat in the creek!

Fucking great! What Keith can do with classical music is magic and always rocking to the fullest!

Ok, this is the best version of Nut Rocker I've heard yet. R.I.P. Keith Emerson

Absolutely Incredible!

Happy to have Keith and Greg as a part of my avatar. "Nutrocker" (one of my favorite ELP songs) was a cover, performed in 1962 by B. Bumble and the Stingers. I find it interesting that Keith was able to mix other songs into Nutrocker to make different versions of it.

You can even see how hard it was for Keith to play.......watch his hands,,,and his face...RIP Keith......you were the Master

Brilliant! Keith I hope you are already jammin with Greg up there somewhere!

Just awesome !

What was done by Emerson,Lake and Palmer and is redone here by the Keith Emerson Band in this Moscow Concert is a cover of Kim Foley's Nutrocker. How Kim Foley made up the piece I can't tell you but it is Foley's music that Keith Emerson chose to use. Something a bit more lively than the classical music that ELP was doing at the time.

Kim Fowley, I believe. B Bumble and the Stingers had a rotating cast, but he produced.

Keith had the time of his life when he played with Marc Bonilla. Despite the pain in his right hand, he was happy, lively and rockin like crazy with Marc. And I love Marc not only because he is a fantastic musician, but for the support he gave to Keith always :)

unbelievable to read about your death. R.I.P we will miss you

Keith's Performance is all the more poignant when you realize the immense physical pain he'd endured for years, and how he was suffering, even through this brilliant performance. 👑

How could you possibly screw up the title to this tune, they have played "Nutrocker" for years

Giuliano Motta Hello ! Thank you for your comments ! I included the title NUTROCKER, too, and a little explanation: NUTCRACKER is the original Tchaikovsky' s composition, adapted for classic rock as NUTROCKER. Keith Emerson have made a version of it on "Pictures at an Exhibition" album, and later a more complete version (using other Tchaikovsky's themes) with Marc Bonilla (used in this video)
