I was kind of hoping someone else would post this but maybe with all the Political obfuscation he was overlooked...but I would not want that.

Keith Emerson was a big influence to me in my youth and I listened to the music with great admiration. Probably one of the first and foremost motivations for me to begin my interest and participation in playing synthesizer and that road that was not so much mainstream in the world of Rock.
May he rest in peace and that his sorrows be gathered up into a new fresh existence of happiness.

Here is a clip of what is listed as their first exhibition.




Young Emerson playing around. ;-}


30 minutes, but well worth the listen for those that were and still are fond of "ELP"

Indeed a sad sad loss to the rock world, an accomplished musician and showman.

So many found inspiration from him.

And the music was just the best ever sad flower

"Rizlared", Thank You for your post. Though they filled huge arenas with their concerts I know that still there are many people that never actually realized what a great musician Keith Emerson was. I have more than once purchased some equipment based solely on his endorsement and use of it. ( and never disappointed for it )

Posted this in the say anything thread yesterday, maybe more fitting to post it here.

I've seen Keith Emerson many times in the days of The Nice, quite an amazing electric keyboard player...pretty accomplished pianist also, as is displayed in their cover of Tim Hardin's, Hang on to a Dream.

Sad loss...sad flower

Thanks for posting this Dragos, sad day indeed to lose such a great talent and musician. One of the best keyboard, synth players in the world. ELP were hugely___ popular in the 70's and early 80's. Just so sad he committed suicide.

Yes, it is indeed very hard to understand and to accept that someone can be in that much pain be it emotional or physical to take their own life. It has only been a couple of years since my Dear friend
"Orsi" who was also a Musician walked into the Danube and was lost to this world. It was her third attempt and it haunts me still that it all happened during a time when I thought her career as a musician was at it's high point. This last few years there have been far too many people both very close to me and others that I admired that are now gone. It can be overwhelming at times.
