In respect to Keith Emerson's death, today is cover Sunday so here's a good ELP "cover" of the 1874 work by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky...just one segment from their 1971 album of Pictures At An Exhibition. He was such a talented musician:

So sad to hear this. Back in the day, I loved ELP. They had a sound all their own. Also, so sad to hear of the passing of so many greats like: Prince, David Bowie, Alvin Lee, (Ten Years After), etc.
I remember many years ago, a music video from MTV of a live performance by ELP. The most unusual thing about this concert, was that Keith was seated at a white piano, that spun 360 degrees thru out the song. Somehow, he sat on the Piano stool, and he did not fall off. How they got the piano motorized & connected to the piano seat is beyond me. Does anyone know where I can find this performance? I couldn't even find it on U Tube.

One of my favorite...tracks...

Being listening to a lot of classic rock lately....I didn't grow up a huge ELP fan. It took some time but I've grown into one and absolutely appreciated their talent.

It's a miracle, but I found part of the Live ELP Concert where Keith rode the piano in the air! Amazing. You won't believe it:

Dig it.
