The WORKS tour rig with the Hammond and Moog facing the Yamaha GX1 was really something. I don't think anyone made a synthesizer more *musical-sounding* than the GX1. It made "Fanfare" special - Emerson beat the crap out of it during that recording.
great interview. love the bit about rewriting the cadenza in Tarkus (very much like Duke Ellington used to do in his own compositions). excellent point about practicing slow. Keith is the man. thanks for posting Dave : )
He seems upbeat here. So sad to see now. God bless him.

"Fanfare ..." on Hammond sounds totally effin AWESOME.
