  • Keith Emerson is absolutely brilliant.

  • Ars longa vita brevis...

  • One of the great bands. If only Keith would release the 30 min Norway footage, and other stuff he is sitting on, on a dvd then everybody would know the truth about the Nice.

  • Hi Folks;

    I remember seeing the Nice play this during a residency at the Marquee Club in London during the summer of 1968 - GREAT!!

  • Lee Jackson wasn't always a crap singer, although a lot of the time he sounds like he had a built in ring-mod.

  • Amazing Video, never seen before ! I saw the NICE reunion back to 2002 in London..Although Lee Jackson sung "Hang on to a Dream" exactly one octave lower pitch respect this original version!! But I was glad to being there ! I'm going to add this song on my ELP Tribute concert! Long Live ELP !

  • I've been a fan of all things ELP for a long time now . In relation to the discussion here I have to say , Keith when in unison with fellow musicians he is superb . However , I think what dosen't fit in too well with todays expectations as a Prog rocker , is the solo " show offy " impoverishes . In the Seventies , such displays of musical competiveness was the norm . Emerson , to me was at his best when playing as a trio . Much as I love the guy .

  • Will there ever be another Hendrix, Beatles, Elvis, etc? Probably not. It's just good to have had them around. If a person wants to find Emerson-level musicianship, they can always check out the classical and jazz genres. Such artists have been pushing the envelope for all time, and always will. With regards to prog rock, Yes and King Crimson (esp. the latter) were/are phenominal and more like-minded musicians are taking their place. You just need to dig a little deeper. Nighty nite...

  • Yes, w/out Vivaldi no Beethoven; no Beethoven, no Mozart; no Mozart no Elvis, etc... But, has "musicianship" per se such as Emerson's (or Hendrix, Squire, or Pert), come to an end in pop form--prog or otherwise? Who are the pop-virtuosi of today?

  • Prog rock is definitely not the same thing as it was, but it's spirit lives on to this day, and millions upon millions of young people listen to what it is now. And I can say this solely because of ELP's influence. They were the ones that made the style super popular back in the early 70's, and they are the reason its still such a largely recognizable style; without them it would have faded into history, and music would be so much different right now.
