Il migliore mio idolo vero, sono oltre 40 anni che lo ascolta e quando misce il rock con classica e blues ecco il vero progressive, un vero maestro peccato sia morto ma per me vive ancora e sempre vivrà in eterno...!!!
Even by the standards of the late 1960s there was some thing very shocking about keith emerson's performance on stage . Any lingering victorian values that there were still around then he would certainly have put an end to them !
The Hendrix of the organ and then some! By his own admission, Keith's fusion of rock with classical and his his stage act were both inspired by English keyboardist DON SHINN (RIP), look him up.
This YT video is an historic gem of the first order. Long have I wanted to watch and hear the Nice in their 69 heyday. I was 15 years old when I first heard Rondo 69 in the autumn that same year, and I remember every note and every squeal from that Hammond Organ with Brian Blinky Davidson beating out that insane tempo, and Lee Jackson plucking that bass line.
I remember seeing the Nice roll up to a hotel ballroom in two Transit vans near Coventry U.K. in 1969. Roll forward a few years and ELP were trucking across America with a line of articulated trucks. Felt sorry for Lee and Brian though, especially when they’d got back together with Patrick Moraz in Refugee and then he left to join Yes. I’m guessing they would have toyed with the idea of finding another keyboard player but they must be extremely hard to find at this level.
back in the sixties/seventies everything/everybody had to be a group. emerson didn't need a group but he had to play the game and give a job to his band members. one of my greatest memories: seeing/hearing Keith Emerson at the bath blues festival
Thanks so much for this! I bought Five Bridges when it first came out and always preferred the sound of The Nice to ELP. Such goodness in this video, makes me smile!
Для меня Keith Emerson лучший клавишник во все времена!!!! Только не пойму, как все это укладывается в голове, в руках!!! Поэтому я и не Emerson!!!! Увы!!!
This is a fantastic compilation. It's hard to be absolutely sure, given the amount of grainy black and white footage floating around of the Nice playing the same material, but I don't think I've seen a couple of these clips before. I totally lost interest in ELP and prog but stayed loyal to the Nice: there are some moments in here that show why. And lots of great Brian Davison stuff too. Bravo!
i found a lot of the bass and - especially- the percussion was repetitive and might just as well gone for a beer and a smoke and left keith get on with it. not their fault; i'm sure in other situations they were good value..
Without NICE there had been no ELP. Don't forget about it. They opened the door for jazz/classic inspired rock. And Emerson was advancing fast because the Nice were such a good band! He had all the freedom for improvisation through this rythm section. I love the NICE. And i like a lot of ELP. But from the Nice i love every record that they've made. ELP had some weaker moments too...they existed longer & recorded far more albums of which some are incredible,but others less enjoyable. But a matter of taste. Maybe you have another impact of them than i had.😂😊😅🎉❤
@@frereanaktom99 Starting at 17:35 -- They play "Intermezzo From “Karelia Suite”, and "Rondo", on what I assume is a French TV show, while fashion models dance awkwardly.
Especially "Country Pie" is great as Keith´s playing is great and loud enough to be examined. - Here you can hear why other keyboardists should be rated second class - incl. Lord and Wakeman.
Thanks. It was the sheer improvisation and rawness of The Nice; that ELP didn't possess. However the singing, bass playing and drumming; were far superior by the latter. British music for at least 20 years (possibly more); was far more innovative than 🇺🇸 No offence. 😉 Best wishes 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
A superb compilation of this short-lived yet most influential band...
such a great, unrivalled band, the Nice - to this day I love'em!

This is absolutely THE BEST Emerson/Nice footage compilation, thank you for putting it all together.
it had to be "on European TV" - British TV only had top of the pops. shame on Britain.

Is there any more news on this *new* footage???

A GREAT COMPILATION !!!
Tremendo documento audiovisual de esta banda, muchas gracias 🤪
Awesome compilation! Thanks so much! Most of this I have not seen before, despite being a lifelong fan. Saw them twice here in Toronto in '69.
STunning performance...¡¡¡😎😎😎

I knew a Wes and Josh before who did not get along. Who's trying to act like he's just in-between?❤
I hope Lenny Bernstein appreciated this. I just love the prog-rock approach to things.
驚いた。やってるのはＥＬＰとほぼ同じパフォーマンス。ＥＬＰの成功はシンセサイザーの導入が大きかったという事か。
