Yes, it's David O'List.

We see him much more in the first video.

He seems to be clearly out of the band here, but I'm happy to see him cause I didn't know that he has played "Ars longa..." on stage; I thought he was gone just before.

Never forget that this guy got the great honnour of replacing Syd Barret in "The" Pink Floyd on several gigs late 1967.

Eternal respect !!!

I think he also played with Jethro Tull for a few days as well.

[studioRAF]

Does he played with Jethro Tull before or after Tommy Iommy ?

that's fantastic!! look at keith emerson at the end, when his hammond doesn't work!!!! (=

I find it a little curious that after researching David O'list, I come away with the feeling that He was his own greatest fan. The trip into his site was similar to listening to a bi-polar chap I know who claims to be all things to all people.

@thatmuse76 ELP may have been overblown and pompous but they had more talent both as a group and as individual musicians than 95% of the acts of that time. And years later, they are still appreciated by those who love fine music while your comments are insignificant and of little import.

@studioRAF

I think after Iommi.

Spot on mate.

I saw both The Nice and ELP many times.

The nice excited.

ELP were dull.

I would like to disagree with your last comment. It seems to be popular misunderstanding of the music and influence of ELP.

When you realy take the time to listen to the musicality and complexity of - and love and passion in the music, your two qualifications should be over thought again. Although I fully recognize and love the newness and spirit and energie of KE and the Nice. Sorry for my English, I am Dutch.

While Lake and Palmer were better instrumentalists (Lake is certainly a better singer), I always preferred Jackson and Davison. The Nice were innovative, ELP was overblown and pompous.

[Bluesmen88]

That hat is probably gone forever.

Yes Judy Garland's hat a prime possession unfortunately lifted from Emo's possession. Any-news of it's where-abouts greatly appreciated by keith
