That's not what I meant by "dynamic."  You can't bend bass notes on an organ.  You can't  run just the bass notes through effects (without some manner of engineering).  You can't pop or slap an organ's bass pedals (I guess you could, but it'd be weird LOL).  What I meant was that a bass guitar offers a range of sounds not available to merely playing notes (which is effectively all the bass pedals of an organ will allow).
 
Yeah, I know and I agree, but I'll repeat: 'You just asked who would play bass' Wink


Note my edit- Emerson won't sit still long enough.  Tongue

And one more thing- Emerson's not gonna stay seated the whole show.  LOL

Boring- organ bass pedals have almost zero dynamics compared to a bass guitar.

 
You only asked who would play bass, you didn't ask for a great bass player, did you? Wink
 
Anyway, who said that organ bass pedals are boring?:

But if you're going to go through the trouble to hire someone, why not make it a proper foursome?

If you got Billy Greer (current Kansas bassist), you'd have a proper bassist and a damned good vocalist.

Interesting idea.

By the way, in case you didn't know, Livgren had a stroke that has made it difficult for him to play the piano with both hands at the same time, so I wouldn't count on a new album any time soon.

However, forget vocals.

Who would play bass?

You mean you've never heard Emerson's incredible vocals on songs such as "I'm a Man" from his Inferno soundtrack?  Wink
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Any reason why they couldn't tag team or harmonize?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Okay.

Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers,

Il dormira

I'd love to see a new supergroup of Emerson, Livgren (of Kansas fame) and Palmer.
 
Now that would be a prog rock album.
