The Rover Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Oh, no wonder I couldn't find it in my title search in the "Other Bands/Music" Forum, as I thought his passing would be worth a dedicated thread here... Anyway, I saw ELP perform on their glorious Brain Salad Surgery Tour in Feb. of 1974. Quad speakers, and plenty loud, even in the cheap seats inthe upper balcony ! !

Deborah J Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just beyond sad. Saw them back in the day a few times. Loved the music and still do quite often. I just cannot believe how many of the truly great ones we are losing. So much wonderful music and memories. Hard to wrap your head around the loss we have had lately. My thoughts are with his family. He will live on in the music forever. R.I.P Keith Emerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover 75 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 So sad, brilliant musician, I did get a chance to see them a couple of times in the 90's, still sounded great back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've seen 2010 reunion footage on YouTube. It was obvious something was very wrong. Poor guy was barely using his ring and pinky fingers on his right hand. They were kind of tucked in. Luckily, he had one of the greatest left hands of any keyboardist ever, so he was compensating for it as much as he could. But, his playing was affected by his ailment and he had to deal with some limitations. Obviously so much of his music is very difficult to play and being a perfectionist.. Just sad. Terrible loss of one of our greatest musical virtuosos.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
