Nobody I've ever come across in this life can do this at this level. A few come close, but no-one touches the stars like Keith did. Bravo, Mr. Emerson, you are still the greatest. We'll keep things flying.
Keith is KING ! They opened their shows with Hoedown when I saw them in 72 and 73 in Pittsburgh.They played the same set both years. It's hard to impress how great they were ,you did have to be there. In those days they did play most song a little fast like this performance of Hoedown. And of course a FREE contact high for everyone ! Keith made short work of the quart of Iron City on the Steinway during Take A Pebble !
Keith Emerson---he's like a MAD SCIENTIST up there!! INCREDIBLE!! And how about Carl Palmer BLAZING AWAY on drums and Greg Lake laying down those THUMPING bass lines!! 3 of those most talented musicians you'll ever see at the peak of their powers!!
With Emerson's bottle of cognac always at the ready. 1:04 He admits to being an alcoholic at this time, having to have the bottle on stage with him. And still he was a genius. I saw them play live seven times.
nyterpfan In fact, Keith Emerson admitted that he was an alcoholic at that time. He always had a bottle nearby, as you can see in the photo. He didn't need it to play though.
I was also tripping. Saw them in 1973 or 1974 on the BSS Tour. So incredible. Couldn't believe all that sound from just three musicians. Best concert I have ever seen.
"Hoedown" (1972) A showstopper that was actually a show starter for two tours, "Hoedown" was the first ELP adaptation of composer Aaron Copland, as brassy a show-off (in his way) as the trio itself. Keith Emerson began work on the piece after returning from a classical festival in Romania, so East European elements find their way into his rollicking organ and Moog arrangement alongside American folk tunes like "Shortnin' Bread" and "Turkey in the Straw." Emerson stumbled onto the track's signature synth sound by chance: "We'd started working on that arrangement and then I hit, I don't know what, I switched a blue button and I put a patch cord in there, but anyway, 'whoooeee.'"
i just Copeland's version on a classical radio station, and was compelled to come here. What Gene Krupa was to the drums, what Jimmy Hendrix was to the guitar, Keith Emerson was to the hammond in prog rock RIP
+tommaso faoro He was to the organ as Hendrix was to the guitar. Fuck Bowie, fuck the Prince, Emerson was the most tragic loss of 2016. He could absolutely SMOKE them in a challenge of talent, creativity, and musicianship. He pioneered the Minimoog Model D changing every genre of music from then on, and was a master at his craft.... prog lives forever.
Max Aronow no death is more tragic than another. Prince and Emerson had two different roles in music history: Prince maybe wasn't the best singer and guitarist of pop/funk music, but he became an icon and his bond with the fandom was incredible, from 1978 til the last concert of the "a piano and a microphone" two weeks ago. Keith Emerson instead was a virtuoso, maybe the best keyboardist in progressive rock history, and it's because of him if keyboards and piano are used as they are in nowdays music, but at the same time he wasn't able to refresh his image in 30 years, and a lot of us probably didn't heard anything from him since the '90s. You see, there aint a most tragic loose, it all depends on our bonds with them
I've listened to tons of ELP over the years, including a lot of their live recordings. I still can't believe how fast they're playing this! It's ridiculous.
Who's still listening in 2024? Keith was Rocks Keyboard GOAT. I have some cool Palmer videos posted. For Keith & Carl this was a cardio workout. No wonder they stayed skinny. RIP Emerson & Lake.
I was 16 cut school.... Got smashed ended up seeing ELP at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.... Ended up in the 3rd row... Rode the subway for hours....just getting home now! Epic!!
Keith Emerson, a colossal talent whose legacy dwarves that of those so-called stars of today. We have already lost David Bowie, Glenn Frey and now him. People who could play and write and perform, all to an exceptionally high standard. RIP Keith, and thanks for the music and the entertainment.
In 1977 and 1978, our high school had a video class, and we used to haul cameras, mixers, mics and other equip to the HRC (Hancock Rec. Center) in Findlay, Ohio and videotape FHS Trojan hockey games, and then broadcast them on a tape-delayed basis on the local cable channel. I used "Hoedown" as the intro and exit song. Ahhhhh ... high school memories!!!!
Keith Emerson once said that playing with Oscar Peterson was "like playing with God"; Emerson was a god in his own right. You were the god of progressive rock and a virtuoso and innovator whose influence on modern music and classical music has been very underrated and not worthily celebrated.
Il 4 maggio del 1973 gli EL&P suonarono a Milano. Avevo solo 15 anni ed i miei non mi avrebbero mai lasciato andare a Milano, in solitaria da Rimini. Quanto rimpianto! Ciao Keith, happiness is a warm gun.
+Francesco Fabbri Fonti mia madre aveva 17 anni e dovette imbrogliare i suoi genitori per andare a vederli a Milano, raccontando una balla di quelle che ti possono venire in mente solo quando sei adolescente Per tutto l'oro del mondo non avrebbe potuto perdere un loro concerto. So che conserva questo ricordo gelosamente e che la morte di Keith , come di Bowie, l'ha molto addolorata.
I saw them in Boston back in the early 80s. Keith Emerson literally destroyed a Hammond B3. Thumped it on the stage and then picked it up and smashed it. A wild man for the ages he was.
+Matthew Bradley I'm sure that concert was quite memorable. I saw the flying piano but not the complete destruction of any Hammond. Knives into the keys, yes. Rocking the organ back and forth while playing, yes. Jumping on top of the organ, yes. -- Emerson was known to destroy several Hammond L100 models and had those as well as a C3 on stage which he stated was virtually indestructible. To my knowledge, never a B3 and I've never seen literature or photos of him having owned any B3 models. C3s are much more durable because of their solid end construction as opposed to the B3s spindle type legs on the front side. He used L100s to destroy because they were quite inexpensive in comparison but he incorporated the wild theatrics to 'wow' the crowd. He got this idea of theatrics after seeing Jimi Hendrix destroy/burn his guitar on stage and seeing the audience's reactions.
+Racer Probably my faulty memory. I had assumed it was a B3 as I'd read that was his instrument of choice. But he definitely made it totally non-functional, whatever model it was.
Matthew Bradley - Understood. I have mistakenly identified a few things recently too. I guess it's one of those mid to upper year things, if ya know what I mean. (sigh) Good day, sir!
+Racer I Think he kept the same L100 for all of their live and it was repaired after the show ! You can see his L100 in this video in 2008 ! You can see how the organ is in very bac shape !!!
Orgue29 I read or saw an interview with Keith in years past where he talked about his technical roadie who was kept busy between gigs with repairing the L100s used for the aforementioned theatrics. You are referring to the later shows Keith has performed in. He isn't quite as rough on them as he was in the 70's and 80's. The bands often had little time between shows so Keith had backups to use while the non-functioning units could be repaired IF that was possible. Here is an interesting article from 2009 about his chief technician's experiences of being on the road with Emerson beginning in 1994 up to 2009 and he claims in that period, they had only used two L100s. That was indeed a WELL used L100 you saw in the Boston 2008 show. Have a good one! www.performing-musician.com/pm/apr09/articles/techthat.htm
Greg is, was, and always will be the yardstick by which all subsequent rock keyboardists will be measured by. Period He's what inspired me to practice 8 plus hrs a day as a kid. Simply mind blowing, thanks for sharing!
Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman (of Yes) are from another planet. I wish I could have seen these guys in concert back in the 1970's. Thank you posting and keeping it alive. Sadly, if it is not seen, it will be forgotten. People now days just are not aware of the talent that used to exist back then.
I have been listening to this band for around four years now and no matter how many times I listen to this song, I still get that immovable urge to jump up and start "hoedown-ing".
+virgorouge so true, the music industry as gone downhill since the birth of the internet, not blaming the internet itself (its a wonderful source of information) but the blatant bombardment of one hit wonders of modern day pop culture has inundated us to a point of numbness and compressed mp3 crap. I run a small studio and i cringe at the stuff coming out these days. There are some amazing artists out there but are lost in the cesspool of crappy hip hop and catchy poopy pop
I always wanted to see a version of those "Beef, It's What's For Dinner" ads use the ELP version, and right at the end, instead of the regular slogan, just have someone scream "MEEEEEEEEAAAAAT! EAT NOW!"
Unbelievable...his style, his flying hands on the keyboards, the notes rolling down chasing each other...no...we won't be able to forget what you meant for Prog music, the DNA you infused in it. Thanks, Mr. Emerson.
Kathy Green I saw the same tour at the spectrum in Philadelphia in 73 first concert I ever saw!! opened with hoedown!!! I remember the chills in my body!!!
*DENNIS RAYNOR, I WAS IN THE NAVY IN NORFOLK IN 1973. ONLY PERFORMANCES LIVE THAT I SAW WERE THE VILLAGE PEOPLE ON BOARD ONE OF OUR SHIPS. THAT WAS COOL! HARALD.*
Their music comes from the deepest depths of musical imagination and ability to perform what they they "hear" in their minds........TOGETHER AS ONE!!!. The best!
Man, musicians rocked so hard back in the day! I still can't get over I wasn't alive to experience all this stuff live because the 70s is my favorite period of music ever.
I just about starting crying when I saw this - we get the Flashback radio show in my listening area and they played this and I got very very sad. Thank you Mr. Emerson.....
Oh my- I hope some day I can play as fast as Keith Omg Greg's ass and Keith's sweat and Carl's... Just Carl ;) I love them. Way underrated for a supergroup.
I had the pleasure of seeing ELP several times over the years, and they always put on a fantastic show. I will always love their music. Keith, may you be at peace.
Timeless!! The Joy of brillance an genius. Best musician and compositions in (prog) rock. Can listen to it over and over and it is always chalanging and always as new. The future will prove me right. I cannot imagine a world without the music of ELP just as I can not imagine a world without van Beethoven, van Gogh, Tolkien and James Joyce.
Some things modern humankind is best not knowing. Or a slightly more accurate answer: It was the early '70s. It's amazing some of the utterly weird outfits rock musicians were wearing at the time. Just look at some of the Yes clips.
My Fav Band Ever and I do like to play and am inspired by Keith! He has no equal. Met him recently took a cool pic! Thank you Keith for greatly inspiring me and can't wait to see the new ELP Tear It Up Again!
¡¿¡¿ Adónde fue a 'parar' esta "Onda Musical" ?!?! Nunca más !!!, que vuelvan Las Musas Inspiradoras !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delirante Genio Total KEITH & sus secuaces/incondicionales/grandes Carl & Grey !!
This is why Keith Emerson is still my favourite keyboard player and though I can't quite hold a candle to him, he still influenced my playing greatly. He is the bomb... Long live the legend of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer!
Nobody I've ever come across in this life can do this at this level. A few come close, but no-one touches the stars like Keith did. Bravo, Mr. Emerson, you are still the greatest. We'll keep things flying.
Jon Lord plays at his level. Both are great.
Rick Wakeman.
Well, Rick Wakeman and Chick Corea certainly did.
One of the greatest keyboardists of all time, RIP Keith Emerson
one of the best.... no, THE BEST
I dunno, who is better? Rick Wakeman is maybe close, but Emerson is that dude when it comes to destroying a keyboard
Yes,ut was even tge trio wasnt show,but their music still alive in my mind
Too soon. What a show you gave us. Thank you for the music. RIP.
Keith is KING ! They opened their shows with Hoedown when I saw them in 72 and 73 in Pittsburgh.They played the same set both years. It's hard to impress how great they were ,you did have to be there. In those days they did play most song a little fast like this performance of Hoedown.

hell yeah...
With Emerson's bottle of cognac always at the ready. 1:04 He admits to being an alcoholic at this time, having to have the bottle on stage with him. And still he was a genius. I saw them play live seven times.
+nyterpfan Yeh this is them at their peak - flyin'
I'm sure he "had a few" before each of their shows. And to be able to play like that...holy mother of God!!
nyterpfan In fact, Keith Emerson admitted that he was an alcoholic at that time. He always had a bottle nearby, as you can see in the photo. He didn't need it to play though.
Keith Emerson is not dead. Some people can never die. He will live forever.
+Emanuele V. ars longa vita brevis, unfortunately keith is dead and gone. We all die.
There's no end to my life, no beginning to my death"
one is only dead when their name is forgotten
Death is Life!
Legends never die!
This is amazing. Can't believe the professionalism they perform. Can't name a band from today having similar skills and talent ELP have had
i remember seeing them at madison square garden in 1973, on mega hits of lsd, it was sooooo good. 40 years later....no regrets
I was also tripping. Saw them in 1973 or 1974 on the BSS Tour. So incredible. Couldn't believe all that sound from just three musicians. Best concert I have ever seen.
3 incredibly talented musicians- and Greg Lake has to be considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
Believe it or not, some critics back then wrote he had "thin vocals"...
"Hoedown" (1972)
A showstopper that was actually a show starter for two tours, "Hoedown" was the first ELP adaptation of composer Aaron Copland, as brassy a show-off (in his way) as the trio itself.

Welcome back, my friend, to the show that never ends.
Godspeed, Keith Emerson.
i just Copeland's version on a classical radio station, and was compelled to come here.
What Gene Krupa was to the drums, what Jimmy Hendrix was to the guitar, Keith Emerson was to the hammond in prog rock
RIP
Three brilliant performers! Where has this level of talent gone?
R.I.P. Keith Emerson, the best keybordist of progressive rock

The torment he must have felt breaks my heart...A true musical genius. RIP Keith.
I've listened to tons of ELP over the years, including a lot of their live recordings. I still can't believe how fast they're playing this! It's ridiculous.
Thanks Keith. I remember the exact day a friend introduced me to your music. Thanks for staying true to your music and never selling out.

I'm so glad I got to see them 3 times, starting in 73. My all time favorite band.
Thanks, Keith.
R.I.P., Keith Emerson. :-(
these guys are amazing! my dad showed me them, and i love them! im only 16 and i think this band is like one of the best from the 70's
Let's all just say that his big Moog ...fell over on him.
Thanks Keith, for some fantastic music. Love ya.
You just don't see bands anymore with this incredible virtuosity.
+David Surf Aristocrats?
There are tons of bands with great players. However, they generally aren’t playing large venues.
RIP Greg Lake you were/are brilliant.
Prog rock at it's finest! Keith Emerson, no matter what style of music, is one of the most talented keyboardists in history.
God how i wish i could go back to the 60s and 70s music was just so unbelieveable back then we were fearless....
Tan solo imagino la emoción de estar en ese concierto y verlos tocar... Joder que buena música.
Keith Emerson once said that playing with Oscar Peterson was "like playing with God"; Emerson was a god in his own right. You were the god of progressive rock and a virtuoso and innovator whose influence on modern music and classical music has been very underrated and not worthily celebrated.
Saw them in Detroit MI in the 70's, it was indescribable!
RIP Keith, thanks for all the great music.
The best Keyboardist of all time!
damn, rest in peace keith emerson. one of the only bands that new how to turn a classical copland song into pure rock n' roll.
Saw them in Paris June 1974 and never forgot the show. Thanks for sharing
自分にとってヒーローでした。安らかに天国で弾きまくってください。
Damn the Trolls to hell. May he rest in The Heavenly Spheres of love, light and Music. Thank you Keith Emerson for your music throughout my childhood.

GUTTED. Peace to the world x
I've only just heard. My son is in Rio and he just what's appd me. I'm saddened 😳. RIP Keith , one of us
My first concert I went to was in Liverpool to see ELP...... Brilliant!!
MEMORIES ARE ALL WE HAVE THESE DAYZ.MUSIC MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVIN

That performance of Hoedown is supreme rock and roll organ.

i saw them in wpb fla in 1973 the opened with this song it blue me away
*KATHY GREEN, LUCKY YOU KATHY! HARALD*

*DENNIS RAYNOR, I WAS IN THE NAVY IN NORFOLK IN 1973. ONLY PERFORMANCES LIVE THAT I SAW WERE THE VILLAGE PEOPLE ON BOARD ONE OF OUR SHIPS. THAT WAS COOL! HARALD.*
Their music comes from the deepest depths of musical imagination and ability to perform what they they "hear" in their minds........TOGETHER AS ONE!!!. The best!
The god of keyboard players
the original Hoedown was written by Aaron Copland for orchestra
Man, musicians rocked so hard back in the day! I still can't get over I wasn't alive to experience all this stuff live because the 70s is my favorite period of music ever.
I would love them to do a tour and play in Scotland. Nothing could stop me going to that gig.
RIP KEITH!
RIP Keith
I just about starting crying when I saw this - we get the Flashback radio show in my listening area and they played this and I got very very sad. Thank you Mr. Emerson.....
MONSTER opening tune... Thanks Emerson Lake and Palmer!!!!!!!!!
do anyone know if they are the creators of the song on "Nyan cat" ? it's really similar, both are great.
[Huge troll detected]
I think that it sounds similar to "Sandstorm" by Darude
mcrsit I agree.
Oh my-
I hope some day I can play as fast as Keith
Omg Greg's ass and Keith's sweat and Carl's...
Just Carl ;)
I love them. Way underrated for a supergroup.
I had the pleasure of seeing ELP several times over the years, and they always put on a fantastic show. I will always love their music. Keith, may you be at peace.
the show that never ends, ladies and gentlemen Emerson, Lake and Palmer!!!
Garrafa de vinho em cima do teclado, Emerson?
Why I didn't born before? 2001 why????
Lule_Bongiovi I ask myself the same thing
Lule_Bongiovi omg i think only im born on 2001 and listen prog rock :(
kha zombix
you're not special anymore, better change to something absolutely different with music;D
:)
i was born in 1992 and its not better lol, i wish i was born in the 1960 so i would witness all them legends
What a sad day - saw them in 1970 Empire Pool Wembley - R.I.P Keith

Some things modern humankind is best not knowing.
Or a slightly more accurate answer: It was the early '70s. It's amazing some of the utterly weird outfits rock musicians were wearing at the time. Just look at some of the Yes clips.
It's an armadillo suit!!
+TheDoktorkev. That jacket was made for him when they were in Japan in 72, read Keith's book it will tell you more about that.
Thx!!
KEYBOARDS DRIVEN ROCK IS WAY BETTER AND MORE EVOLUTE THAN BORING GUITAR DRIVEN ROCK
RIP! Such a great musician - inspirational!
Rip Keith, thanks for all the memories...
My Fav Band Ever and I do like to play and am inspired by Keith! He has no equal. Met him recently took a cool pic! Thank you Keith for greatly inspiring me and can't wait to see the new ELP Tear It Up Again!
Found about this last night.
Thankyou BBC 4!
This is the first piece of music I ever saw played by any live band. I was 14. This guy rewired my brain for life. Rest in peace Keith.
¡¿¡¿ Adónde fue a 'parar' esta "Onda Musical" ?!?!
Nunca más !!!, que vuelvan Las Musas Inspiradoras !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Delirante Genio Total KEITH & sus secuaces/incondicionales/grandes Carl & Grey !!
Saw ELP IN 1978. MUSICAL MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME. TRUE ARTISTS
This NEVER gets old...
