Keith Emerson on "The Late Show with David Letterman" (1986)

Who mixed this? Way too much guitar and not enough Keith. Dave's drummer is clueless what to play.

Kind of a cool, offbeat tune to pick. But the arrangement sounds like they spent maybe ten minutes on it.

The Kurzweil "ooo ahh" voice patches are all too well known for us keyboard players who played through the '80's. And yep, between Paul and Keith they probably have half a mill of Kurzweil stuff there.

"i like to be in America!"
Cool sound!

Paul Shaffer, what a frakkin hack, Could you believe getting on Letterman and having to preform with Paul Shaffer? Wouldn't matter if he had Carl Palmer, Greg Lake and Steve Howe with him that ass would still suck. But he's probably gettin banged by Dave too, that's why he has the job

WOW! I had never seen this footage before. Always been an ELP fan. Heard this track on XM the other day, and had to look it up on UT. Recommend it highly!

What do you mean "normal band"?

How nice of Keith to shake hands with Paul as a partner on keyboards

ROFL that made my night....:::Tambourine:::...

WTF, that's a massive kurzweil

Original Kurzweil K250, £1/4 worth at the time I believe.

There are moments when Keith is 'at his best' here.

Thanks for sharing.
