  • Look at him. His name is Keith Noel Emerson. Born of a poor family in England. Self Taught. He is one of the few greatest keyboard players in world history. He is living in YOUR lifetime. He came close to death within the past year from a surgery that went wrong. He is on Facebook AND has a Youtube channel. Look him up and say HI to a LEGEND! You are witnessing HISTORY! Love Ya Keith! Live long, continue to prosper and inspire us!
  • Keith Emerson was WAY BETTER THAN RICK WAKEMAN!!!

  • You forgot to mention Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett

  • 7:29 sounds like a fast version of Tiger in a Spotlight. Comment back if you agree.

  • @gigantorrrrrr Keith emerson is not self tought at all. Neither his family was poor. Keith Emerson had lessons from three different female teachers, when he was a child..Emersons father was a chief technician at a general post office. His mother worked in a school. He grew up under normal relationships.

  • Hour and hour and hour and hour and hour and hour and hour and hour of study and lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots of talent: HE'S KEITH EMERSON!!!

  • Absolutely amazing! So very inspiring.. even to a non-piano player. Also I find it utterly incomprehensible how anyone could "dislike" this video... even if it isn't your favorite type of music can you not at least respect the talent? Seriously.. this is IMPROVISATION my friends!

  • splendid. i love how he casually makes quotes from famous pieces, like at the very end the theme of respighis gli uccelli. pure genius

  • Came here cause my mind got clouded when i saw someone commenting on an Oscar Pererson rendition and told ppl to go listen to a REAL piano player like Keith Emmerson. I see hes a good player yes, but not to be compared to Oscar Peterson

  • @GPWS339 yes!!!

  • @GPWS339 apples and oranges. different players, both very talented. impossible to tell who's better.

  • @GPWS339

    Way better? I agree the young Keith of the 70's was better. But I don't believe anyone is way better than Rick.
