The fact that she had to memorize the entire piece is quite shattering, I mean, she's blind, it's imposible for her to read sheet music. I would pay serious coin to hear Rachel play all three impressions of Karn Evil 9, and yes, I'll need a box of Kleenex too. Please Jeanie, pass along a big cyber hug for your daughter Rachel, she's wonderful.
Rachel and her friends here must have had a blast! I hope they all enjoyed sharing this music together as much as I enjoyed grooving with this video! Thank you for posting this mini-celebration of ELP's immortal music. Major bravo to the brilliant Ms. Rachel -- thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the rest of us here! ROCK ON!
When I need a keyboard boost, I always visit your latest ELP cover, you always lift my spirits, thanks Rachel, and your Mum and Dad who also deserve a special mention, without their dedication and loving support this video wouldn't have made it onto TH-cam, from a Parent
Keith Emerson's sad, tragic passing brought me here. Honestly, not expecting much...kinda like waiting for some kind of poor, pathetic kereoke-like performance... Wrong! As you took me through the whole opus...tears steaming down my cheeks...while shivers ran up my back. Well done! I could so hear the absolute love you have for this piece. Thank you Ms. Flowers! Thank you.
+Parry Hall Be sure to watch Rachel's versions of Malambo, The Endless Enigma/Fugue, Trilogy, Tarkus, Karn Evil 9, well, I could go on, but .. well, one more ... the entire Piano Concerto No. 1 (with flute). She also plays guitar (with Dweezil Zappa -- look up "Montana.") Yes, they're all that good.
Mine too! tears this gal got me back into my boards again after am almost two year hiatus -played professionally for almost 25-30 years so grateful for her. The music lives and breathes into my soul again screaming to get out!
I'm with Perry. Losing Keith was really tragic for me. Finding Rachel was a blessing for me. I watch these videos of her all the time. I miss ELP that much. I just wish someone would form a band and do a live show.
I LOVE this song. This been one of my favote songs since the first heard it. I got to see it on person in he 70s. I cried at least seven minutes hearing this. I like ever better now. Great job. Still crying. This song is my youth, gone.
She kills me! I like how she keeps going forward and nailing everything and she has a great feel. I can tell that the song's playing in her head as she's playing and she's hearing every part.
She is so into the music, it takes about a minute after a candle breaks on the floor before she asks, "What was that?"...."Why did it fall?"....all without breaking stride while playing some crazy Emerson stuff! Did I actually hear her vocalize Carl Palmer's gong crash? Beautiful!
I've been one fan/friend of Rachel's (and mom Jeanie) for several years, and as a pianist, I revisit this, and wipe my eyes with joy about every 20 seconds. Love you both, and thanks again for my bit of happiness tonight!!! ♥
***** Jeannie, I don't know how you can live with such talent day to day. She is simply mind blowingly brilliant. (is blowingly a word?). I'll see if I can get into my next scrabble game.
I am a fan of Rachel's incredible talent behind the keys. I was very saddened to hear the loss of Keith Emerson today. She really did an awesome job covering this piece and I can tell she is influenced by Keith's style. Please send my sincerest condolonces on the loss of her friend and musical hero. I am very happy Rachel got to meet Keith.
In May 2013... I had not even heard of you Rachel..... Now I get to sing this song on our awesome collaboration with you and the rest of the musicians!! And also other ELP songs as well..... So honored to have you as a player in my musical life! And thank you Jeanie... for without you... Rachel would not be where she is now... Lots of Love! Len
This brilliant young lady is one of the reasons that the music of Emerson Lake & Palmer is a show really will never end, and that reason is simply......superb talent
Wow! This young lady is so damn talented. She really did this ELP classic justice. Rachel is just a natural talent at the keys. I bet Keith Emerson is very proud of her.
Leo Ibarra well said, miss Keith and Greg but the music lives on musical angel Rachel she is beautiful I love her spirit, peace and love to all elp fans
Sometimes you come across something on TH-cam which takes your breath away, gives you shivers and a even a tear to the eye. Until now I'd never heard of you, Rachel, and now I'm a fan especially after watching this impromptu performance of one of the first tracks that ever turned me on to playing keyboards and the magic of prog-rock. It takes a lot to make me swear but this performance is fucking outstanding! And thanks to Jeanie for having the fore-sight to capture it. :)
Let me crawl out from the musical rock I've been under. Is she world-renowned? If not, why not??? I've loved ELP since the early '70s (especially Emerson since I was taking piano lessons at the time). I dreamed of being able to come close to playing their stuff. And she's playing his parts as well as Lake's bass lines with her feet... PHENOMENAL!!! It doesn't matter that she's blind, just being able to recreate BOTH parts at the same time blows me away. Obviously she's a musical prodigy. Definitely have to watch her other videos.... I'm soooo green with envy of her talent! WOW!
Would love to see this truly talented young woman tour the UK, especially Scotland. ELP fans (and indeed music fans!) would turn up in their droves to listen to this magical experience.
Rachel nails it note for note as usual. Timing is impeccable. It's great to see her play as it visually illustrates the complexity and sophistication of Keith's work.
I AM AMAZED AT HER TALENT!!!!!!! Are you saying that this is all by ear!! I am blown away. As good or nearly as good as the original!!!!!!!!!! Mr & Mrs Flowers your daughter is true talent I am a hard time controlling my emotions. ELP's music got me through my teen age years!! A true talent!!!!! Amazing!!!!
Surely Maestro Keith is looking down at Rachel and beaming with pride. I know I am. I've never heard anyone come close to capturing his brilliance as much as this very talented lady.
She makes me tear up and my emotions ignite with the passion I felt when I first started listening to ELP in the '70's and my love for music! Thank you Rachel!
Hi Jeanie, thanks so much for re-posting this! Rachel's playing always makes me smile, and frequently reduces me to tears. What she does goes far beyond channeling Keith's nonpareil stylings - she captures his intent. I've heard ELP in concert many times since working on one of their first Toronto appearances (in 1971.) I've interviewed Keith and Greg, regularly return to their classic albums, and yet I have no idea what's going on here. Rachel is simply a phenomenon! Wish I could've been there.
This play through just shows what a great piece of composition Karn Evil 9 is. Great playing Rachel and RIP Keith. One of my all time favourite musicians gone and a true god among men in the musical stakes.
After all the clips that Rachel has done since, I keep coming back to this one. She's playing with the sheer joy of a child let loose in a sweet shop, exulting in the sound of a magnificent instrument. You can sense her mounting exhilaration as the piece progresses, the notes and phrases almost tumbling over each other to be played. She still brings that excitement to her playing today, witness her 'Fanfare' at Carl Palmer's charity show. Play on, Rachel.
Thanks for this, Rachel--this is my favorite song! I can now watch and listen to you perform Tarkus, Trilogy, and Karn Evil 9 1st Impression...all the music that shows the greatness of ELP. You are a treasure, and we love you.
I could watch her videos all day long. I was an ELP fanatic in the 70's and I just love how she carries on the music. I would definitely pitch in to get her a Moog.
Seeing Rachel live has been on my bucket list for some time. This gave me goosebumps. Incredibly uplifting, fabulous rendition of one of Keith's true masterpieces! Acquitted here with distinction!❤
I discovered Rachel's excellent playing a few days ago, through an ELP Facebook group. I have watched several of her excellent performances now, which are a great, authentic tribute to Keith Emerson's brilliant musicianship. RIP Keith.
Fantastic. I memorised the bass parts when I was in my teens in the 70’s. This is a stunning performance, but also goes to show what a great piece of music this is. Probably my favourite musical passage at least from the 70’s, if not for all time. A joy to watch 👍
Ok read the description and I’m totally blown away by the fact that this was her first time playing a Hammond. Sounds like she’s been playing it her whole life.
I love Rachel Flowers, everytime i listen to her playing, my eyes fill with tears because the emotion and the great memories she brings back to me with her music. she makes me feel like listen to this music for the very firts time
The flawlessly accurate technique, the super-sensitive ear that deciphered this complex music, and the absolute command of the Emerson style, make watching this a joyous experience. But for me, the best part is Rachel's happy reaction at the end.
I am just BLOWN AWAY by this. I never even heard of Rachel before but I saw ELP in the early and mid 70's numerous times and she is so spot on. With the nostalgia for Keith Emerson at its height she really should take this on the road, I think the reaction would be overwhelming.
Since discovering Rachel, I just bought a Blu-ray of "Hearing is Believing." If you've not yet picked up a copy of the DVD or Blu-ray, you really should. I love Rachel's progressive rock stuff. What a great young woman!
OMG Im in tears. This is note for note. So moving! Single most moving, loved album, this side of Tarkus!!!!! xxxxx SUBBED, Bless her Heart! xxxx R.I.P Keith, you really were a keyboard wizzard!
On an analog organ no less. Yes another set of tear filled eyes in remembrance of a keyboard hero, and my own fading youth. Thank you Rachel for an incredible cover.
Just discovered this incredible talent yesterday......better late than never!!! Jeanie, assuming you are her mom. You have an angel in your midst. Jennifer captures this music of the 1970’s like it’s her own....and it is. Can’t wait to hear more of her performances. I have no idea where she lives, where she plays....but I’d come to see here anywhere!!!! Thank you so much, Jennifer, for doing this iconic music of our beloved Keith Emerson, keeping his legend alive, but also making it yours! You are simply awesome, lady!!! No one living has done Keith like YOU. Congrats!! Hope to hear more of you in the future. Thank you so much.
I met Keith Emerson only once he was so affable and spent much time talking ,his not being here is sad,but,...and also his music is to me is so 'underrated' as they say. Great job on this..also I happened to see your version of 'Zombie WUlf'...yeah rocking.!...
so wonderful..i knew elp since 1977 when i was 17 years old...and found rachel flower so great.she had met to keith before he died..I got LPs of elp complete..and very recognize songs of elp...may rachel will visit to indonesia...i welcome her so warm and much
I had never heard of Ms Flowers before today. Keith's passing brought me to TH-cam looking for anything related to ELP. This was quite a discovery. I KNOW her NOW. The young lady could not have comported herself any more profoundly. I suppose this would a great tribute today, but i was glad to know that Keith had known her and was able to hear her put this piece of musical genius together. A truly stunning rendition. Thx for all that you have done.
Rachel...As a HUGE fan of ELP since the 70's, I can only say that your BRILLIANT technique does Keith justice (And that AIN'T easy!). You're amazing!!! Even your drumming on your bench was spot on! Wow! Can't wait to see more!!! Jim. Fantastic job Girl!!!
I’ve been listening to ELP since the mid 70’s and probably warn out a few CDs too. I just stumbled across these TH-cam clips. Rachel you are absolutely brilliant, stunning, and I’m in awe.
Rachel, I am so humbled by your talent. As a keyboardist, I am always awestruck of the shear genius of Keith Emerson, and we will miss him. Your incredible rendition of Keith's work (not to mention some pretty good vocals...and we miss Greg as well) is just beyond my ability to comprehend the gift we have in your talent and the love of some pretty complex music you possess and share with us. Thank you. Wow.
Reminiscing about Keith tonight and turned to Ms Flowers here to put me in a better place. Always brings a smile to my face when Rachel plays the songs in the here and now. The early ELP songs never grow old or dated.....Rachel brings them back to life and its a new world once again....Thanx for keeping Keith's legacy alive !!!!
I've lost track of how many times I've heard this song in the past 40 years. Enough to know it note-for-note. I've even played the part of Greg Lake as bassist/guitarist/vocalist on a few occasions with this same song. I would be honored to be in an ELP tribute band with Rachel. She and I have trod on the same ground. To say I was impressed would be an understatement! Well done!!!!
OH MY, Absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE! Over the past 30 years, I’ve listen to Karn Evil Nine, literary thousands of times to the point where I know every note by heart Rachel plays it PERFECTILEY. I would not have believe it had I not seen it with my own eyes. What an incredible talent you are Child. I know Keith is a musical genius but what makes you interested in ELP? Keith better be brushing up, or he may not have any more Job security…=)~ Put out more Rachel, I’ll be here listening!
There's two things I don't understand. How could 2 people hit a "thumbs down" to this, and how can anyone play the left and right hand so darn good, and even add some bass pedals, too! I remember when I first got this record at age 9, I said "I'll be able to play this song when I'm 21!" HAHAHA to that idea, this is ELP! But in almost every "band" I've been in, I had to cover the bass and keyboards (on the keyboard simultaneously), so I love watching anyone else who can do that so well!
Keith's spirit is alive in Rachel! Thanks for the music. 😄
*HE IS ALIVE AND A POLTERGEIST!!! **2:32** IS PROOF!*
The fact that she had to memorize the entire piece is quite shattering, I mean, she's blind, it's imposible for her to read sheet music. I would pay serious coin to hear Rachel play all three impressions of Karn Evil 9, and yes, I'll need a box of Kleenex too. Please Jeanie, pass along a big cyber hug for your daughter Rachel, she's wonderful.
Here's Rachel playing the 2nd Impression.... th-cam.com/video/wPGoWvIRY4M/w-d-xo.html
Here's a version of Rachel playing the second half of the 3rd Impression....like it's nothing. Spooky good.
Rachel and her friends here must have had a blast! I hope they all enjoyed sharing this music together as much as I enjoyed grooving with this video! Thank you for posting this mini-celebration of ELP's immortal music. Major bravo to the brilliant Ms. Rachel -- thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the rest of us here! ROCK ON!
pyrokittykat j
She can read music, it’s called Braille Music Code

Rachel flowers is an absolute phenomenon
Young lady you give me goosebumps listening to you play. I live ELP. I got to see them twice . Hearing you play makes my day
When I need a keyboard boost, I always visit your latest ELP cover, you always lift my spirits, thanks Rachel, and your Mum and Dad who also deserve a special mention, without their dedication and loving support this video wouldn't have made it onto TH-cam, from a Parent

+Parry Hall I am here for the same reason and I could not have said it better.
+Parry Hall IMHO Rachel is one of the finest keyboardists in the world. Know her name.
Mine too! tears this gal got me back into my boards again after am almost two year hiatus -played professionally for almost 25-30 years so grateful for her. The music lives and breathes into my soul again screaming to get out!
what you need to know here Keith Emerson was her mentor.
Keith Emerson never dies......I just see him playing thru this lovely girl......
I'm with Perry. Losing Keith was really tragic for me. Finding Rachel was a blessing for me. I watch these videos of her all the time. I miss ELP that much. I just wish someone would form a band and do a live show.
I love watching Rachel’s videos - absolute musical genius.
We are so totally blown away by Rachel. We're so astounded at her talent. She literally makes us cry! Keith needs to meet her and watch her play.
I'm sure Keith is looking down on this incredibly talented young lady and beaming with pride!!
WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS...................................!!
I LOVE this song. This been one of my favote songs since the first heard it. I got to see it on person in he 70s. I cried at least seven minutes hearing this. I like ever better now. Great job. Still crying. This song is my youth, gone.
All my life I've waited to hear someone sit at the church organ and play this song. If you ever do that, I wanna see it. ☺
She kills me! I like how she keeps going forward and nailing everything and she has a great feel. I can tell that the song's playing in her head as she's playing and she's hearing every part.
Keith must be so proud looking down from above.
@Toughen Up, Fluffy george carlin's dead and there's nothing you can do about it
Long live Rachel Flowers, and ELP ! God bless you young lady !!!
She is so into the music, it takes about a minute after a candle breaks on the floor before she asks, "What was that?"...."Why did it fall?"....all without breaking stride while playing some crazy Emerson stuff! Did I actually hear her vocalize Carl Palmer's gong crash? Beautiful!

Good heavens. I cried.Totally amazing. I kept looking around for Greg and Carl! Thanks, kid!
+isaac collier And she is blind..... amazing.
Never gets old…..
Probably the tenth time I've seen this performance, it gets better every time.

Just watching her play the hammond would be all I need amazing
This brilliant young lady is one of the reasons that the music of Emerson Lake & Palmer is a show really will never end, and that reason is simply......superb talent
Wow! This young lady is so damn talented. She really did this ELP classic justice. Rachel is just a natural talent at the keys. I bet Keith Emerson is very proud of her.
+Jennifer Felan You bet...? They met each other! And Keith WAS proud!
Wow! I have also seen some of her videos of her jamming with Dweezil Zappa on the Frank Zappa covers she did. She is a very talented musician.
She's really not that good
@@speedwagon5604 I take it you want some attention?
@@speedwagon5604 Close your eyes and play this. Then submit the video.
We’ll judge.
This lady plays unbelievable, carries me back to summer of 75 ELP Memphis live Coliseum just lovely Rock on Rachel
Emerson is God...Rachel an Angel...
Leo Ibarra well said, miss Keith and Greg but the music lives on musical angel
Rachel she is beautiful I love her spirit, peace and love to all elp fans
that end....so wonderful I cry my eyes out in happy bliss.

Would love to see this truly talented young woman tour the UK, especially Scotland. ELP fans (and indeed music fans!) would turn up in their droves to listen to this magical experience.
I hope Rachel's show never ends ❤
10:07 to 11:10
The best minute of musical Dexterity in the history of humanity, that deserves 1 Billion views
I get goosebumps listening to her play. Well done, Rachel.
Rachel nails it note for note as usual. Timing is impeccable. It's great to see her play as it visually illustrates the complexity and sophistication of Keith's work.
It always makes it even more inspiring to see a blind person capable of playing so phenomenally.
Ms Flowers - You have the Gift...and the passion to bring alive Keith Emerson's music! Thank you for sharing the music.
The Best, incredible
I AM AMAZED AT HER TALENT!!!!!!! Are you saying that this is all by ear!! I am blown away. As good or nearly as good as the original!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed!

Hi Jeanie, thanks so much for re-posting this! Rachel's playing always makes me smile, and frequently reduces me to tears. What she does goes far beyond channeling Keith's nonpareil stylings - she captures his intent. I've heard ELP in concert many times since working on one of their first Toronto appearances (in 1971.) I've interviewed Keith and Greg, regularly return to their classic albums, and yet I have no idea what's going on here. Rachel is simply a phenomenon! Wish I could've been there.

So far beyond Amazing.
I'm totally blown away. Whan an amazing rendition of a great song! Rachel, hats off to you, you did a stellar job!

You are a genius!!! a virtuoso!!! You made my day!!!! ELP performed at its best!!! You should go on tour!!! great !! thank you!!
Ok read the description and I’m totally blown away by the fact that this was her first time playing a Hammond. Sounds like she’s been playing it her whole life.
The laughter at the end by Rachel is AWESOME!
I love Rachel Flowers, everytime i listen to her playing, my eyes fill with tears because the emotion and the great memories she brings back to me with her music. she makes me feel like listen to this music for the very firts time

Absolutely outstanding tribute to the genius of Keith. Incredibly moving now that the great man has gone.
Since discovering Rachel, I just bought a Blu-ray of "Hearing is Believing." If you've not yet picked up a copy of the DVD or Blu-ray, you really should. I love Rachel's progressive rock stuff. What a great young woman!
Flowers Lake & Palmer
José Rafael Colmenares Anzola - who's the replacement for lake now? :(
José Rafael Colmenares Anzola flowers and Palmer?
If she were to tour with Carl Palmer... I am SO THERE! It would be a great way to celebrate the music.
Today by the time that we got to the end of Rachel's performance even though that was done many years ago I had tears in my eyes!
Watching and listening this one to the end gave me more than I ever expected. What an amazing girl. She is such an inspiration. God bless her.
WOW THANK YOU
OMG Im in tears. This is note for note. So moving! Single most moving, loved album, this side of Tarkus!!!!! xxxxx SUBBED, Bless her Heart! xxxx R.I.P Keith, you really were a keyboard wizzard!
Your playing is more than outstanding Rachel , Keith Emerson must have been SO proud
YOU ROCK! My son plays piano, will show him your work and talent level.
On an analog organ no less. Yes another set of tear filled eyes in remembrance of a keyboard hero, and my own fading youth. Thank you Rachel for an incredible cover.
Just discovered this incredible talent yesterday......better late than never!!! Jeanie, assuming you are her mom. You have an angel in your midst. Jennifer captures this music of the 1970’s like it’s her own....and it is. Can’t wait to hear more of her performances.

It isn't how it looks it's how it sounds.. Rachel is amazing
I met Keith Emerson only once he was so affable and spent much time talking ,his not being here is sad,but,...and also his music is to me is so 'underrated' as they say. Great job on this..also I happened to see your version of 'Zombie WUlf'...yeah rocking.!...
I have heard the original recording of Karnevil 9 many many times, and this is astoundingly accurate! Bravo!
The Greg Lake guitar solo part is just phenomenal, beautifully done, genius.
so wonderful..i knew elp since 1977 when i was 17 years old...and found rachel flower so great.she had met to keith before he died..I got LPs of elp complete..and very recognize songs of elp...may rachel will visit to indonesia...i welcome her so warm and much
Stumbled across you...am an ELP Fan. Was thrown back in my chair. You totally Rock !...
I had never heard of Ms Flowers before today. Keith's passing brought me to TH-cam looking for anything related to ELP. This was quite a discovery. I KNOW her NOW. The young lady could not have comported herself any more profoundly.

Fantastic job Girl!!!
She is SO amazing! I'm a big ELP fan from their early days and Rachel blows my mind!
I’ve been listening to ELP since the mid 70’s and probably warn out a few CDs too. I just stumbled across these TH-cam clips. Rachel you are absolutely brilliant, stunning, and I’m in awe.
DAMN, that was one hell of a performance! She was just dancin' all over those keys!
Truly astonishing talent. The feel you have for the original is beautiful to hear. God bless you!
Outstanding! Rachel is an absolute saint on this video. I am just floored by her expertise' ..... Rachel you get my vote. Thanks for posting this gem.
I keep coming back to see this again. Brilliant!!!!
Amazing!!!
Rachel, I am so humbled by your talent. As a keyboardist, I am always awestruck of the shear genius of Keith Emerson, and we will miss him. Your incredible rendition of Keith's work (not to mention some pretty good vocals...and we miss Greg as well) is just beyond my ability to comprehend the gift we have in your talent and the love of some pretty complex music you possess and share with us. Thank you. Wow.
Just incredible, AGAIN !
You bring millions of people such pleasure!! This is the best of humanity! :-)
Reminiscing about Keith tonight and turned to Ms Flowers here to put me in a better place. Always brings a smile to my face when Rachel plays the songs in the here and now. The early ELP songs never grow old or dated.....Rachel brings them back to life and its a new world once again....Thanx for keeping Keith's legacy alive !!!!
Rachel, was absolutely unphased by all that turmoil around her... Solid.
I've lost track of how many times I've heard this song in the past 40 years. Enough to know it note-for-note. I've even played the part of Greg Lake as bassist/guitarist/vocalist on a few occasions with this same song. I would be honored to be in an ELP tribute band with Rachel. She and I have trod on the same ground. To say I was impressed would be an understatement! Well done!!!!
OH MY, Absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE! Over the past 30 years, I’ve listen to Karn Evil Nine, literary thousands of times to the point where I know every note by heart Rachel plays it PERFECTILEY. I would not have believe it had I not seen it with my own eyes. What an incredible talent you are Child. I know Keith is a musical genius but what makes you interested in ELP? Keith better be brushing up, or he may not have any more Job security…=)~ Put out more Rachel, I’ll be here listening!
There's two things I don't understand. How could 2 people hit a "thumbs down" to this, and how can anyone play the left and right hand so darn good, and even add some bass pedals, too! I remember when I first got this record at age 9, I said "I'll be able to play this song when I'm 21!" HAHAHA to that idea, this is ELP! But in almost every "band" I've been in, I had to cover the bass and keyboards (on the keyboard simultaneously), so I love watching anyone else who can do that so well!
To Rachel I say: Great job!
It is amazing how she can do this despite her being blind. Just amazing.
