-------------------------------
Keith Emerson was a huge inspiration for me as a musician and Hammond Organ player. My musical journey thus far would not be the same without his influence and performance fireworks. In 2007, the original line-up of my band Big Organ Trio was in full swing, and Keith, accompanied by his long time girlfriend Mari, made several trips out to see us play at our residency in Santa Monica. This is a tiny stage in a local watering hole that features music in the back room, but that's what made it special for Keith. Here he had none of the pressure of a large concert or tour. As you will see, in this intimate yet relaxed environment, he could just let loose, have fun and let it rip. He simply loved playing the Hammond so much, whether in a classical vein, jazz vein, or straight up rockin' blues. This pure joyous freedom of expression is the primal reason I was drawn to playing an instrument in the first place.
This night Keith hopped up behind my beloved Hammond B3/Leslie and called out Freddie King's "Hideaway". We decided to trade riffs standing behind my rig together, and go all out! There's no holding back on this version of Hideaway, as we push the B3 to its limit. What fun! He even starts things off with a little nod to Tarkus! To me, this is one of the most sacred things about playing an instrument: the joy of expressing your unique inner soul. There are billions of people who have lived and passed on, yet in the face of that unimaginably large number, we are all unique. That night I had the opportunity to express this spiritual reality with one of my musical idols. Most importantly, I hope anyone who watches this video sees how much joy and happiness just playing music and being in the moment brought to Keith.

P.S. Without his wonderful longtime girlfriend Mari, this night would not have happened.

Absolutely magical. Keith enjoying himself! Thank you for recording this moment. Remembered forever. Still missing you Keith...........
Even with Keith's trouble with hes right hand the guys a legend, nice to see him relaxed and playing a growling old Hammond. When I saw keith first play with the Nice in 1968 here in the UK I was totally hooked to Keith's music . Keith was an innovator, brilliant musician and exciting to watch. I miss him so much as he was my musical hero. When keith then Greg died it was like a big part of my life had gone, even now when I listen to certain ELP music it make me feel emotional. RIP Keith and Greg. Great video, thanks for putting it on here👍🏴
Thank you so very much for sharing that. He was in his element, as were you Mike. Fantastically talented musicians. Keith, you will always be missed.
OMG. As a B3 guy, I wish I would have had this honor. RIP Keith. You go! Mike!
Even with just one hand, Keith would still be The Master! Miss you man! R.I.P. you deserve it!
Greatest keyboard player ever Once met him in 1997 in Amsterdam at the Paradiso concertSay al his ELP concerts in hollandWe wil sureley miss him.

Well, that is an extreme exaggeration...
Keith looked like he was having fun and it's wonderful to see him jamming on the Hammond with you . Still I'm shocked about his passing , may he jam in heaven .
Beautifully written words from you Mike. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. The connection of love to play the Hammond is shared by so many people. Keith Emerson and yourself enjoying a tune. Delightful.

Amen. Keith, you and Greg both are missed by so many people who loved you. I hope that you both can feel that love all the way up in heaven, where you both are young and free from any pain. I know your both rockin heaven with all of your friends, who went before and after you. Cozy, John, Chris, Gary, are all up there with you and what a concert that must be. Neither of you will ever be forgotten as long as there is one person on this earth who loves your music.

Craig Ezell Not over the top at all. Well said! Besides his musical gifts, he was such a super nice, funny, great guy. We all miss him.
Grande maestro Keith Emerson ! Musicista di talento , suona con una smisurata passione e ha una marcia in più rispetto agli altri tastieristi . Io apprezzo molto la sua spettacolarità , perché il suo talento è di molto superiore. Keith non dovevi lasciarci, ci manchi.
Fantástic! Increíble! Maravilloso!
Thx for sharing. Sooo great to see Keith in the moment as you say. Enjoying himself. I'm a big fan.
Thankyou Keith, Thankyou Mike
Would have given most anything to have met Keith, would have been an honor just to shake his hand. He is already Missed. RIP Mr. Emerson.....
LOVE THIS THANKS FOR SHARING i MISS AND LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Adorooo👄✌
Fantastic! :( EMO
Un contacto de KZread me dijo una vez: "Tres dedos de Keith Emerson son mejores que cinco de cualquier pianista" En cierto modo tenía razón.......... No sé como hizo Keith en los peores momentos para seguir brillando con su forzada nueva técnica de tocar con solo 3 dedos de su mano derecha debido a la lesión del año 1994... Dolor de mano y de cabeza que entre otras razones, acabó con su vida... Gracias Keith... Este joven veinteañero te extraña

Lo hacía porq era un genio absoluto. Te recomiendo q veas la versión de Touch And Go, q hizo con la KE Band (cantante Marc Bonilla), donde lo ves tocar de forma BRILLANTE con tres dedos de la mano derecha, e incluso, a veces tenía q soltar y solo se mandaba con la izquierda. Y en la ultima performance de ELP, el High Voltage Festival (2010), Keith estuvo impecable, aún en medio del dolor q sufría com su mano. Ese show fue increíble (al único q no le gustó fue a Carl Palmer, q a mi parecer, ese día fue el mas flojo de los tres, y quien dsps de ese show, fue quien "decretó" el fin de ELP... pero bueh). Fijate el video ese, Touch and Go, si no lo encontrás, avisame q te mando el link. Saludos!!?

@@FukiMakai TODO lo q Keith hacía la rompía. Era un genio. No solo el tipo q le dio un nombre y un lugar a los teclados, pero como músico en su totalidad. Soy fan de ELP dde hace muchísimo tiempo, los vi en vivo las dos veces q vinieron. Y sobre todo, me acuerdo la primera vez, en 1993, la sola idea de ver en vivo a este monstruo me volaba la cabeza. Yo lo extraño mucho, pero a la vez me encanta recordarlo con los videos y su música.
Sweet !
Super boys!!! Good gift for Keith, who had gone from us & for lovely GREAT Greg & Karl!!!
May Keith rest, and soar, in peace!
rockin' Y'ALL!! I didn't see any stabbing knives or organ wrestling though...JUST SMOKEN!!
Absolute fantastic. What an experience and big thanks for sharing.
Jammin' with the God's. Way, way cool.

Becky Hernandez Thanks so much Becky. Indeed it was fantastic to have one of my idols show up to see my band and then, on top of it, decide to sit it and play with me on my rig. This was the first of several other times Keith came down and sat in and/or watched our gig. He was as gracious a gentleman as you could meet. This performance is from 2007. Cheers.

Becky Hernandez That's fantastic about your group! And you're very welcome. Another tid bit of information I can offer which I find fascinating is while chatting quite extensively with Keith about music, he disclosed to me one of his huge early influences on the Hammond Organ: Jack Mcduff. Specifically McDuff's 1963 release "Live!". Even more specifically the first track "Rock Candy". Turns out I had listened to this track, and album, hundreds of times (in headphones) and it was a huge influence on me as well. The fascinating thing about it was that McDuff got this crunchy, distorted tone on the organ which was different than anything that preceded it, especially on "Rock Candy". I had analyzed that tone over and over. To my pleasant surprise Keith told me this tone was a big part of what inspired him to push the tonal limits of the Hammond Organ even further.

Thank you very much for that tidbit. I'm reading Keith's book right now, but haven't got to that part, but I'm willing to bet it will be in there. Check out our group, we are always happy to have new members. Thanks for chatting with me.
From 3:20 it sounds like there is a wah pedal used.... how did they achieve that sound?
Even
Easy to compete with Keith when he has the right hand almost paralysed by the distonia.
Can't hear Hideaway
Shame Emersons right hand wouldnt work anymore
I kind of wish Emerson's right hand had become completely paralysed, if that would have forced him to go only left handed. The guy's left hand was a MACHINE!! Wouldn't be surprised if he could play Tarkus eventually with just his left hand! Or, if it could have made him see that his time had come regarding praise from the musical community and becoming the fantastic statesman of keyboards. To have a progressive medical condition that gradually pulls away what you're trying to do.....especially if you suffer the "black dog"....I'm afraid it was too much for our friend. I can only hope that as time goes on his place in keyboard history becomes more broadly appreciated. He was NOT just the guy who burnt the American flag with the Nice and stabbed/wrestled with an organ!!
No daggers? Blasphemer!
