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
Great Hammond playing by Keith here. Just heard Keith has died, a big shock to me. I followed the nice and ELP through my youth and was privileged to see both bands. Amazing music, amazing keyboard player, very sad. Will miss you Keith. Fanfare for the common man. RIP Keith.
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😮😊
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!
+Alanko Donnet Fantastic footage, hope Keith and Brian are still cooking up a storm somewhere. It's amazing how much Nice stuff is now emerging on YT, and please feel free to add some more.
This video should be shown to all young keyboardists studying Hammond organ techniques. Keith liked changing drawbars settings many times while he continued playing incredible things. Nowadays too few Hammond organists like this magic. Pity, because Hammond Organ can make infinite sound nuances, as Keith knew very well.
Been listening to this since I was a teen. All these years later, it's incredible to watch it being performed. Bach & Bob Dylan combined. How utterly unique!
Reminds me when I was 10 - best band of their time, actually I believe them to be more artistic and complex in their compositions than later ELP. By all means phenomenal Hammond playing, wish I could do just 10 % of it. Keith, you're one of my heroes - never forgotten. RIP and have a great session up there.
I was 8 years old when this came out and my Great aunt Lila Gave me a Nice album and said study that keyboardist. I wrote Keith at 11 when I was going to music school and sent him a tape. Keith came and my friend Jordan Rudess said who's he? I said the keyboardist for that Tarkus album you said changed your lifeLOL
Emerson grooved hard on this one. Rhythmic like Jimmy Smith & Booker T.First heard it in late 70's.I was already a staunch ELP fan but I was just discovering the Nice.Looking & listening to the Nice,you could see this incredible talent emerging to become the one of the greatest keyboard players in popular music.And he took it & soared high Like an eagle.Truly an artist of his time.Dug him so much.Wish you were here Keith.
It's Rhythm changes...... My dad bought me my Hammond organ in July, 969 - I was 11. He died on September 3, 1969 - at age 50... I became a saxophone player in 1973 am am to this day, but I'm again playing keyboards. I was a huge ELP fan, but never heard The Nice! Keep uploading! Thanks....
Big fan of The Nice. Brian Davison's drumming is hard for me to follow, and I mean that in a complimentary way. His jazz leanings are so far from 4/4 mainstream rock drumming, he was a total asset to their overall sound. The Fillmore '69 recordings really bear this out.
@@onazram1 yes he can, when i saw elp at their 2nd concert at the isle of wight festival 1970 i was very underwhelmed,and didnt get that elation that the nice used to give me with their synchronicity.
@@keithchiv6166 In later years Keith conceded that, in hindsight, he thought The Nice a better band than ELP, and he was right. As for the drummers, Carl was all flashy technique - admittedly impressive for all that - but Blinky was more thoughtful, had more feel and actually swung. Peel had it about right on ELP: "a waste of talent and electricity."
Emerson Lake and Palmer and Frank Zappa are the only rock musicians who ever played anything remotely close to what classical music is really about...not rock musicians who played music that sounded something like classical music..but actual musicians who knew what they were doing and could write it down..I heard ELP play in the Baltimore Civic Center a couple of night`s after they had to let the orchestra go..the musicians were willing to continue the tour for free but the union wouldn`t let them..nevertheless I have never heard two musicians...in this case Keith and Carl locked in tighter then they were on Fanfare for the Common Man and just so you know I`ve been a musician for over 50 years..the fact that their music went right over other`s heads says absolutely nothing about them but the public.
@@fideliusconcrete4871 Absolutely. The best example here is at 3:12-he plays tribute to Floyd Cramers' "On the Rebound"; which he'd noted as one of his favorite early challenges.
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
Those were the times when most keyboard players thought that "Whiter Shade of Pale" was a quite demanding piece and Jon Lord was the master of the Hammond organ. In fact Keith set new standards and up to now it´s hard to see if anyone could succeed him.
Thanks very much for upload! I grew up with elp band and "pictures at a exhibition ! Then searched for more about Keith Emerson, found and loved all THE NICE LPs in the beginning of the 70s! After all the ELP years I found and came back to THE NICE through TH-cam . I can't stop the black and white videos. :)
Rod Argent dont come Close, Emerson is the all round superior musician, his creative talent, iconic sound, innovativity and versatility makes him the ssuperior keyboarids. I say this as a keyboard player myself. I still have very high thoughts of Rod Argent, he is a great player that did his own thing.
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. -
My oh my, that sound, The Nice were my favourite. Saw them reformed in 2002 in Liverpool; amongst other classics they played "Tantalising Maggie", emotional experience and one I will forever treasure.
I was right on the front row at the L'pool Philharmonic concert and I spoke to Keith and Lee Jackson at the end.. I noticed during the show that Keith was having abit of trouble with his right hand. Keith is my favourite musician of all time and I miss him immensely. RIP my friend.
WHEN I WAS 15 i bought America in the single 45 on pink immediate ,i loved KIETH EMERSON played it to death.. THEN saw them in 1969 in the MARQUEE london his stage show was amazing it was the days of LED Zeppelin 1. [others].and the progressive seen or underground as we called it THEN ..IT was a real thing then to see the Hammond being used as a lead instead of guitar
if people need that translated, i feel sorry for them. I hgave trouble with Vietnamese but, for goodness sake, that's not difficult. did someone ask or does TouTube assume we are all dumb ass?
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
Questo brano interpretato da Keith Emersonn e i Nice è musica ai massimi livelli. Spero che i giovani di oggi possano vedere i video di questi giganti del Rock e imparare qualcosa...
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 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.
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.
Yes please do post more of this video. What happened to the vocals, i wonder. Saw The Nice twice in 69 here in Toronto. Fabulous memories. Emerson made the biggest mistake of his career by breaking up this band.
@@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.
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.
"....with Lee Jackson's vocals being lowest in the mix (probably few complaints there right?)..." Wrong....would it be right to say that you aren't a fan of The Nice???
I suspect you might be suffering a similar consequence from your own opinion. Perhaps by "fan" you are meaning FANATIC? (Someone who blindly supports something regardless.) In which case no, the person you are being critical of is probably not being a fanatic. Nor am I. All artists have better as well as lesser capability of performances. Even KE. I would not put Love Beach and Katoh San down as KE/ELP's best work. Now, you may like them more than I, they might move you where as they do not move me; even though the are capable works. But that is potentially true for all art/artists. It's unfortunate if one's fanitism gets in the way of their critical thinking, or their tolerance of others' opinions.
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.
Brilliant.I saw them in 1968 and they formed my music direction all my life.What a concert.
Absolutely fantastic band
The world will not be the same for me without Keith Emerson.

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!
Been listening to this since I was a teen. All these years later, it's incredible to watch it being performed. Bach & Bob Dylan combined. How utterly unique!

@1:20, to put Brandenburg No. 6 in the arrangement is genius. Wow, it still amazes me after many years of listening to Blink, Lee & Keith....
Indeed. Classical education and organ playing skill does it.
Emerson: an immense talent!
Fantastic!!! R.I.P. Keith Emerson

So much focus on his hands, thats how he remembers playing and how he always wanted to play for us all. Thank you Keith.

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.
I've always said Emerson had established himself as the best keyboardist EVER before ELP was formed.
This merely confirms that for me.

Just pure innovation and boldness - the beginnings of prog rock?
Excellent comment. Totally accurate. This IS the start.
Jammin' into it!
I heard him playing with NICE right about this period. Bach's 3rd Brandenburg, "King Biscuit Four Hour" on WNEW NYC. Never a better version!
Soooo Epic !!
Emerson war ein wahres Genie an Orgel und Klavier bzw. Flügel. Es ist sehr schade, um diesen großartigen Musiker.
Emerson was (and is) baddest-ass Hammond player. Who ever else on the Earth played inverted keyboard, or stuck knives in it?
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.
Bach Brandenburg no 6, brilliant!
Can we see some more from this concert if you have, please?
Yes please do post more of this video. What happened to the vocals, i wonder. Saw The Nice twice in 69 here in Toronto. Fabulous memories. Emerson made the biggest mistake of his career by breaking up this band.
Keith Emerson e sua performance costumeira. Mas com ELP não o vi tão jazzistico.
Footage like this really serves to put the over-hyped, cold-blooded, ruthlessly efficient but essentially soulless ELP into perspective.
The marvelous
Really appreciate this upload. Keith doing his thing before fame and fortune. The drummer however is the late Brian Davison not Davidson.
Ай, малаццаааа!!!!
That is genius.
fuck yeah
Rockin tune! Was Phil Collins a drummer with the Nice? So sad Keith Emerson is no longer around.
best band ever

Bach at 1:28!
Every time I watch this and they cut to the drummer I can't help but think "Animal." (From the Muppets! :-D
Rest in Peace Keith....
