The Nice - Country Pie - Live Essen 1969
A black and white clip of The Nice, performing Bob Dylan's Country Pie at the Song Days Festival in Essen, Germany, on October11th, 1969. I know this track from their Five Bridges album, but this version seems a little slower and with just a bit more swing. The sound is mixed a little in favour of Emerson, with Lee Jackson's vocals being lowest in the mix (probably few complaints there right?) and the eternally underrated Brian Davidson's drums being pretty audible at all times. Love that overdriven organ tone. I quite liked what The Nice had going on, with Davidson's jazzy drumming having a swing and, dare I say groove, missing from Carl Palmer's technical chatter. Lee Jackson's elastic Vox bass tone was a million miles away from the more conventional Fender bass tones of the day. Emerson clearly had his sight on higher matters, dragging classical repertoire into the rock field and deftly throwing in quotes left right and centre. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto appears on this Bob Dylan cover!

in lui cci sono tutto i musicisti del rinascimento😊
❤😂❤
I have a re-recording of The Five Bridges Suite on The Greatest Hits album, sadly I don't get the Tchaikovsky or Sibelius. I borrowed this twice from 2 older friends, both of whom must be pushing 80 years old by now! Still a big favourite and I regularly play the Greatest Hits album
Really appreciate this upload. Keith doing his thing before fame and fortune. The drummer however is the late Brian Davison not Davidson.
I had a great poster on my bedroom wall of Keith with the Hammond laying on top of him. I wish I still had that one!
Ladies and Gentlemans.............. The Great Keith Emerson
God on the keyboards😮😊
Two worthwhile musical efforts came after the demise of the Nice (besides ELP of course) Jackson Heights and Refugee. Both very different, both include Lee Jackson and Brian Davison. I think after Patrick Moraz started with Refugee and promptly left to join Yes, Lee and Brian must have thrown in the towel. Sad.
Brian Davison. Davison. Davison. For crying out loud, his name is Brian DAVISON
best band ever
natalie will loike DIS pie! m-hm.
*shrugs* ha-ha! *tip of da cognac glass* OH WELL, he THUNDERS.
Brilliant.I saw them in 1968 and they formed my music direction all my life.What a concert. Absolutely fantastic band
The marvelous
i listen to a lot of classical music and i admire their skill but they are reading notes. emerson was his own composer.. never forget him. i play the piano but don't think i am a genius. emerson was.
Whenever the British do something stupid I keep reminding myself that well at least they produced the greatest keyboard player on the planet in the great Keith Emerson😮😊
D'accordo ❤
He was one exceptional musician.
@@larryboyes7276 there will never be another one like him not even close
@@larryboyes7276 God on the keyboards
What sort of stupid British thing do you have in mind? - the Goons, Monty Python, the Proms, Bob Mortimer on Task Master (or any where else he pops up), The British Empire ( that was pretty stupid). Stupid is a British super power!
I love lemon pie but every now and then I just have to have a slice of that country pie😮😊
Terrific 🎹 sound
That is genius.
That's Davison. Wonder what wonder boy Bobby thinks of his tune now??
Keith is the best!
I have a hundred year old hard wood piano which has never gone out of tune despite cold damp english winters. keith emerson inspires mr to keep playing.
I guess your piano reminds you of Keith Emerson never goes out of tune😊
The editing of this video, so typical of the time is infuriating. I want to see them play. I don't need the scene to change every measure on the upbeat. It's vertigo-inducing.
😁genial
Just pure innovation and boldness - the beginnings of prog rock?
Excellent comment. Totally accurate. This IS the start.
i love this genius .......................................
Awful photography!
That bass sound is devastating!
This is by far the best The Nice version of this song because we can barely hear their horrible singer... LOL
I don't know if this was remixed, but it's phenomenal.
Yes please!
Emerson: an immense talent!
I miss him and his music..
My favourite nice tune
Fantastic!!! R.I.P. Keith Emerson
Sweet! So what about the mix.
Meaning, it's too bad the vocals aren't more present in the mix... tough shit. And the groovy editing is hard to justify. Nevertheless.
@@ENCmediaactually I prefer it without hearing the vocals I prefer the instrumental especially since it's Emerson😮😊
@@edljnehan2811 Yes... the film makers had all they needed to make a great edit but unfortunately, no. The editor had to impose her silliness. Lipstick on a pig. Nevertheless, I completely agree.
@@ENCmedia if you think about it they were really cheating a little on the technology that had not been perfected yet.. by using the modulation and volume switches it was like doing a poor man's Moog synthesizer. The daggers on the other hands would hold the note down enabling the great man to go on and play something else at the same time. Nothing was digital at the time so you had to try to fill in for that stuff that hadn't even came out yet and that is what made Emerson a genius and the greatest multi keyboard player of all time. I saw them from 1970 all the way up until their career ended in 2016. Shortly after Isle of Wight I saw them at a place called The Arena Bowling Alley located in St Louis Missouri can you imagine how small that was when you compare that to the Isle of Wight. The band Yes we're even they're opening act in the first year and stated they were forever grateful for ELP giving them their chance in the early days of progressive rock. I was there I was there I will be there..
@@ENCmedia they really didn't have the proper technology.. Airfield pay close attention to the editing you'll see his hands flailing back and forth to kind of in a way make it look psychedelic and not capturing the true feel of the notes he was playing on his organ instead he was bouncing off of the keys in A hurried manner trying to get the whole thing a psychedelic look. It wasn't Emerson's fault that was just the sign of the times and the way they did things back then prior to the the production methods being improved to wit they should have put more emphasis on the individual keystrokes instead of skipping around like they did.
Bloody camera work..........
What an incredible band; we'd never heard or seen anything like them before. They still sounded amazing in 2003 when they reformed for a tour.
Lee Jackson is getting quite a huge tone on this, but still plenty of attack cutting through when solo. Quite impressive and holding things down in a funky way without List.
Loved the nice from the start, unique sound and music. Lee Jackson in an interview " keith invented progressive rock, he didn,t knew it at that time but he was doing it, and i know it because i was there" nice quote
Keith Emerson e sua performance costumeira. Mas com ELP não o vi tão jazzistico.
Nice was/still is the most attractive and challanging progressive music on the edge of jazz/rock/classic. Do love and play it to youngsters!
Keith Emerson was already a mihty giant in 1969.RIP
"Mixed a 'little' in favour of Emerson"......🖐🥴 It's obvious they couldn't continue without a guitar player. As soon as Emerson stops there's only bass to keep the thing going. Never got why David O'list left the band .
Davy was having problems coping, he was a teenager. But quite brilliant
Every time I watch this and they cut to the drummer I can't help but think "Animal." (From the Muppets! :-D
Best Hammond organ sound ever! Even better than ELP
Do you mean Cumbersome, Fake & Trauma?
@@bigtone1348 Henderson snake and charmer
I really enjoyed this part of Keith's career a little more funk and jazz than elp.
I agree but were they better? I don't think so😮
if one plays keyboards and listen to this, all is immediately clear. Just a few months later this man could compose historical pieces like Tank, Three Fates and Tarkus. Hats off to Keith Emerson, he deployed the foundations of modern keyboard history
Tarkus is one of my favorites
Wow 😲👍
Remembering Keith Emerson Born on November 2, 1944. He was an English keyboardist, songwriter, and composer. He played keyboards in a number of bands before finding his first commercial success with the Nice in the late 1960's. He became internationally famous for his work with the Nice, which included writing rock arrangements of classical music. After leaving the Nice in 1970, he was a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock super-groups. Emerson, Lake & Palmer were commercially successful through much of the 1970's, becoming one of the best-known progressive rock groups of the era. -
Well you read that right off of Google congratulations I couldn't have said it better myself or is it I couldn't have read it better myself😅
