Why am I watching this here? I have it on VHS and in better quality... Oh, because i can't find the damn video cassette. ;-)

[studioRAF]

Please, search more and find it.

Studio RAF -

PLEASE tell me you have more from Ars Longa Vita Brevis.

Specifically "Intermezzo from the Karelia Suite" or "Daddy, Where did I Come From?"

I travel 150k miles a year and this is some of the most treasured stuff on my ipod.

Seeing in on video from the day would be an honor.

[studioRAF]

I would like to !

Keith Emerson surely got that !

Just ask him ;-)

He actually did use a Moog (Mick Vickers') a vew times with the Nice. I agree with Vachalia's comments as well. No doubt Greg has a better voice than Lee, but the Nice had a magic that ELP lacked, much as I valued ELP's talent. The Nice were more experimental, and Country Pie is phenomenal--listen to that drumming--amazing! Brian RIP! Gary Gomes

Thank you!!! Do you have any more footage of this Olympop event? The Nice are so often overlooked and underrated, in the U.S. at least.

I get porn in better quality. But porn doesn't give me eargasms!

Well... nice to happen on this. I think the Nice were more inventive and interesting overall than ELP, if less of a high-powered virtuosic combo with arena rock potential. I'm a great deal less impressed by arena rock potential than I probably was 35-40 years ago. As far as showmanship, I thought Lester Bangs said it best: he's like Liberace on amphetemines.

Is there a video of the Nice doing "She Belongs To Me" at the Fillmore East?

[cutis1000]

There's just so much organ playing coming from Emo, plus his theatrics, there was really no point in having a guitarist in this band!

[psyckonaut]

As far as showmanship goes,Keith Enerson was the Jerry Lee Lewis of the organ!

[caravaneriam]

I saw them in Dundee in 1968 or thereabouts.I wonder if the band remember the concert.The place was bouncing.A concert and a half.I've never forgotten that night.

Why is Keith hopping about like his panties are full of jiggers?
