The Nice were the first live band I saw, at the Royal Festival Hall, on 7 February 1970. The support band was Yes.

"Lucky Man"

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was


How ironic - Keith died by shooting himself...

I guess he didn't want to go out with a whimper but died as he lived his life... exciting, unexpected, full of drama and made everyone sit up and notice him... LOL

I first noticed him as a member of The Nice on the Old Grey Whistle Test late one tuesday night playing "America". He was sticking knives in the keys and hurling a huge Hammond organ around the stage and playing like a demon. I went out the next day and bought "5 Bridges Suite" and the America single.

When he formed ELP with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer I was in heaven. I sill listen to their stuff now. Albums like ELP, Brain Salad Surgery, Trilogy, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition and Live/Compilation albums... fantastic epic stuff!

They were frickin' huge globally in the 70's - travelling around the world with their gear in three huge articulated lorries, one with Emerson, one with Lake and the other with Palmer written on top in massive capital letters. Anyone that had the pleasure to see them enjoyed a truly unforgettable experience.

What a showman..... what a lucky man he was!

RIP Keith Emerson - Legend

What an introduction to Prog Rock!

Very envious Dave.

Of all the high profile musical geniuses to die this year, this one has hit me hardest.

I thought Keith was immortal.....

I was very lucky. I spent ages trying to get through to the box office and then had to go after school to pay for and collect the tickets (no card payments in those days!). I've still got the programme (the cover has a picture of Keith on the front in a leather jump suit kneeling on top of a precariously balanced Hammond organ) and tickets. I can still remember what he was wearing on the night; a silver bolero jacket (no shirt, of course), silver trousers and silver boots. Brian Davidson and Lee Jackson weren't quite as charismatic sidesmen as Lake and Palmer. I didn't know a lot about Yes at the time, but I think they might have been pre-Steve Howe?

Wonderful musician but leaving his girlfriend to find the body was a bit thoughtless of him.

I was 15 at the time you saw The Nice and Yes.

The previous summer to that in '69 I went to Hyde Park with a schoolmate to see Blind Faith (Clapton, Winwood, Baker and Gretsch) as my first live gig having been too young to go and see Cream.

Steve Howe replaced Pete Banks at some point in 1970 according to the Band's biography, so it is fairly likely that in Feb 1970 you saw Banks on guitar.

The story about Yes I like is the tale Rick Wakeman tells about him ordering a takeaway curry in the middle of one of their sets somewhere in London and eating it off his organ at the rear of the stage whilst Jon Anderson was looking round bewildered at what was going on.

Wakeman and Emerson are/were very similar in style and showmanship.
