My absolute favorite musician of all time. An amazing talent. First saw ELP in August 1971 at Buffalo's Peace Bridge Exhibition Center and became a big part of my life from that day on. RIP Keith

ELP was my first favorite band, Brain Salad Surgery absolutely blew my young impressionable mind......(yes I know, Tarkus isn't from BSS)

Deeply sadened by this news. My favorite keyboardist by far and THE reason I became a huge prog fan. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform multiple times. I will always cherish those. RIP

They opened for Spinal Tap. Or a puppet show. It's hazy now.

I'm heartbroken. Keith was a monster musician and composer. I remember when I first heard him. AI was on my high school CC team and we went on a road trip. One of my team mate's Uncle was driving and he put in a tape of Trilogy. I was blown away and an immediate fan.

 

Never saw him live sadly.

 

A few years ago I bought his album, Keith Emerson Band which is awesome. If you haven't heard it, check it out. Also has my old school mate Greg Bisonette on drums.

 

Always makes me a little sadder when someone punches their own ticket.

 

Sad day in greater rockdom :(
