First time I've seen organ windmilling

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Ok..... that's one rock and roll concert i would DEFINITELY pay to see!!!!

[DeloreanFanatic]

He is absolutely INSANE!! AWESOME!!

[samVandoren]

organsm

[Ariel1Dominguez]

there´s a boring way to play and there`s a Emerson way

[thiandromeda]

Its fucking amazing this performance. Its a Rock´n´roll in pure state.

[yorklin]

Emerson is so much better than Lord

End of argument !

[RayManzarekGod]

Emerson is the best keyboard player ever. HANDS DOWN.

[PrZemek44]

The entire solo is like 19 minutes long. It used to be here but got taken down. If you listen to all of it... Keith is freaking amazing, no argument here! I just don't get why you, guys, compare him to Lord? If you have to turn music into a contest, all these years, Rick Wakeman has been Keith's 'archrival'. But why not just enjoy all of them? Cheers.

[magikpianoman]

keith emerson is the best keyborder for my opinion

[TOWLIBAN32123]

@magikpianoman well i quiet like rudess and that one from kansas

[wonkavella]

emersons left hand alone would say how much better he is than lord.watch a deep purple vid and see how much he uses his left hand other than for smears.lord is an amazing musician but would never be half the musician emerson is

[anonymusum]

@ gardenofarcane

you are joking. As a musician I can tell you there a dimensions between Jon Lord and Keith Emerson. Even Emerson´s left hand is better than Lord´s right hand and that´s the only hand he uses. Jon Lord had the good luck to meet Ritchie when there were hardly any good keyboard players around. In the 70s Ritchie probably would have chosen a better one. And in the end: if you know one JL solo you´ll know them all.

[gardenofarcane]

Cool! no i wasnt joking but his particular piece is like he is fighting with organ instead of playing it, but i'd love to listen what they have to offer, i am no musician please recommend some songs you like, they are very famous though!

[mjmcnult]

Brilliant in terms of its excess and flamboyance.

[DeathFromAbove72]

Emerson is godlike.  And his jacket with the flames on it is amazing!

[bubblabu]

HEY! Someone stole his cap

[randomstuff3201]

It sounds like Deep Purple...

[profg60]

It's the Hammond organ that reminds you of Jon Lord. When Emerson started this act in the 1960's with the Nice that's all he had, no synthesizers yet. The song is part of Rondo, of the Nice's staples back in the day.

[broogs]

actually you know what? it sounds like they go into burn by deep purple. at around 4:24. any1 else reckon it sounds like it?

[heraldojesus21]

it might but.....

Keith Emerson recorded this track on his first album with his earlier band The Nice in 1967

......Deep Purple released Burn in 1974

[MarkyMarc78]

It is Bach's "Toccata & Fugue" which might even have influenced Jon Lord ;-)

[HugeInJapan]

Fucking upside-down with the goddamned Hammond on top of him?

Keith Emerson is one crazy mother fucker! And one of the best performers of our time.

[pleasurecise]

Keith is the best EVER!

[Chumleh]

Fucking Baddass. Not exactly fun to listen to, but if I had to choose between seeing Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson live, I'd definitely go with Kieth. A pure recording on the other hand... a much closer match. Still, fucking brilliant.

[louchemobile]

Jimmy Smith's spinning in his grave.

[marciacrookes]

this is hilarious AND incredible :)))))))

Wonder what his organ fixer thinks - if he's still alive that is?

I know he used to tell him off for not treating his organ with respect !!!

[Fuckation]

What the fuck is that twat doing there, is he crazy or something?!?

[guitarfordumies]

Rumor had it back in the day that Keith broke three ribs during this preformance

[kingdaka5006]

it looks like the amp fell on him

[smokingbianco92]

E' di fuori come una terrazza, ma ha un talento veramente immenso e questo video lo dimostra.

[tonemerchant]

i didn't know Will Farrell played keyboards : )

[purplefan08]

is it me, or does this sound like 'space trucking' by the mighty deep purple? am i a bit hard of thinking?

[scyen]

Ridiculous performer, but I can't honestly say that he's more talented or as much of a virtuoso as Rick Wakemen. Just my personal opinion.

[billy2bob]

Nonsense. Wakeman is fast but there is more to being a good keyboardist than speed. Wakeman is not a good composer on his own and has many other limitations. Emerson has IT ALL.

When did you ever see Wakeman play a Fugue backwards with a B3 organ on top of you?

[scyen]

A. Wasn't reffering to the speed of the performer, just the technique. I personally enjoy Wakeman's style a bit more than Emerson's, but admittedly not by much.

B. I can't say that I ever have seen Wakeman play a fugue backwards with a B3 organ on top of me, but I would imagine that he wouldn't be playing if someone in the audience was being crushed by a big wooden box.

[eternalcolonel]

The best keyboard showman ever.

And-by the way, he could do more with his

left hand than anyone else could with their

right hand.

[Karlfalcon]

He's a fucking madman is what he his. Brilliant, but mad as all hell.

[petsounds75]

What's worse than a lobster on your piano?

CRABS ON YOUR ORGAN. xD

Keith Emerson rocks and Palmer's a fucking badass drummer.

[guitarfordumies]

whats better than roses on your piano - tulips on your organ

[duderock05]

ELP legends - just transferred songs to my ipod, they are amazing!

[communicatie]

I watched him do that live! Pretty impressive, playing toccata in fuga from beneath an organ... He's a king!

[thisismocha]

man I love ELP.

[eternalcolonel]

...I believe we're all aware of the songs origins, not that it matters to Emersons

performance...

[drnock]

You know that he's playing blue rondo ala turk by Dave Brubek right?

[axzck]

he's playing rondo (a song by the nice). I don't know if The

[axzck]

song is inspired by blue rondo a la turk.

[neil73]

Absolutely brilliant. Pure punk-prog!

[Qwark92]

Keith is great

[endlesstrilogy]

i miss them. wonderful . ELP will never be forgotten.KEITH will always be the king.
