Lemmy ?   Guy was on borrowed time, looked embalmed, surprised he lasted that long.

I can't believe he didn't have anyone looking into him.
I don't want to start that age old debate, but I find it weirdThe Damned can reform to play their full album, when Keith was doing that live and everyone called it pretentious!
Still looking out for a Keith Emerson Special Tribute magazine, unless I've missed it!

Music journalism hypocrisy. The same mentality that declares the likes of American Idiot  the finest rock album released after 2000. 
 
Cyndi Lauper, of all people, has jumped on the bandwagon and is performing her very first album, She's So Unusual, in its entirety. I haven't caught any negative press with regard to that, either.

All those journalists who have called ELP pretentious over the years just missed the point. Sure they were overblown, but there was always a strong element of satire, silly spectacle, and just plain buffoonery to ELP. How can you possibly call a guy wiping his butt with a Moog ribbon controller pretentious?

I was fortunate enough to see ELP five times over the years (including once as ELPowell), but the last time I saw Keith was with the Nice in London on the 2002 reunion tour. I got to meet Lee Jackson and Brian Davison after the show, but didn't get a chance to meet Keith.

If anyone's interested, I composed this tribute to Keith when he passed:

They were from his wife Elinor who he divorced in 1992 or 1993. One son Aaron is also a keyboardist. The other son whose name I forgot is not in music. They're both probably in their 40s.

I know this is a really old thread by now. I'm not a new fan of ELP, just new to this site.

I've never seen ELP or Keith Emerson, but I've loved the music since I was a kid.

I have seen Rick Wright with Pink Floyd and Jon Lord with Deep Purple.

I'm going to see Anderson, Rabin, Wakeman this fall.

RIP Keith! I wish I would've had the chance to see you.

Emerson's value may not have been limited to rock, but his influence was, and while Prog rock did impact the commercial/Commercial Trade music of the mid-70s that impact was as much from Yes and Genesis.  

And I don't know if can agree that Emerson tried to liberate people from rock.   He tried to liberate rock, but not people from it.




Exactly, to liberate rock. He was a genius in many things.

Maybe it was the wrong kind of magazine, but was dismayed to see a tiny column about Keith Emerson's death in this months Q Magazine.
Maybe the more specialist magazine are preparing their tributes, but I think with the material he produced in his life time, he deserves a dedicated collector's issue!
