RIP Keith, you are the mightiest player of them all.
Kindest thanks for your immortal music. Ars longa vita brevis. I´ll play "Jerusalem" and "Intermezzo" from "Karelia Suite" for your memory.

My head is still reeling upon reading this. Very sad indeed (though I always thought he'd outlive Greg.....)

This strikes me pretty deeply - ELP and The Nice were some of my earliest prog finds and loves, they've always brought me so much enjoyment. The derision, as you all know, is undeserved, as those bands' music is at the least the most fun you can have outside a house of ill repute, if not sometimes just stunning displays of composition and playing. Emerson had a knack for translating age old orchestral pieces and styles into his rock in a way that no other progger could even dream of doing themselves. And his demand that he bring a mega-Moog on stage was just the best use of '70's rock star extravagance.
RIP, man.

Just heard the news and immediately thought of this website. ELP was a huge influence on my musical taste, what a terrible loss. RIP Keith

RIP to another huge name in Prog. But the sound of his unique keyboard playing will forever be in our minds.
Tarkus will be his crowning glory to me personally.
