I saw these guys playing this at club called The Tea Party in Boston - 1969. Their warm-up act was a group of total unknowns from Georgia. Nobody there wanted to hear a country band, but the Allman Brothers turned out to be pretty good, too.

Thanks for these informations Ric.

The Allman brothers openning for The Nice ?

What a good show !

Do you remember if they jammed together ?

A pure classical psychedelic european band with a pure country blues american band, it could has been a very interesting musical trip....

Who ever posted this is a saint. Great, great, great!

[studioRAF]

Thanks !

I'm not a saint, but Keith Emerson is God.

studioRAF: One is very grateful for your efforts on our behalf. thank you!

But one wonders about sources (TV?) and the possibility of first generations.

Moved from Scotland to Toronto Oct68 as 16 yr old, and had the great good fortune to see the Nice twice that following winter, first opening for Juli Driscoll and Brian Auger Trinity (imagine that!) and then on their own in very small club where we squatted feet from stage.

Thanks Wordofgord.

Possibility of first generations ?

Only God (Keith) can save us !

He own the original colour version of that gig.

We just have to pray for a miracle !

You're so lucky, having seen the Nice live in the sixties !

Keith Emerson was/is the Hendrix of keyboard playing. PERIOD! Phenominal. He is what made this band extraordinary!

@RicTheVideoGuy

I saw that show, too. What a great line-up!

@studioRAF How about Jimmi opening for The Monkees? That would have been a trip. I bet those Teenie Boppers didn't know to think.

Oui Keith est et restera le clavier/Héroes par excellence !

Aussi il est permis de dire :

rendez à César ce qui est à César et à Keith ce qui est à keith .

Et c'est mon dernier mot !

[caravaneriam]

Great to see.Brilliant band.

[cutis1000]

Keith Emerson is a god of the keyboards.

Okay, so this is the Colour Me Pop performance. I knew there was one out there, so I take it this is a black and white dub or taped using a home video machine from the era which was only in black and white. More than likely BBC wiped their copy ages ago back when that was normal practice which compromised hours of footage that would now be prized amongst rock historians as well as fans of older BBC programming.
