	Keith Emerson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keith Emerson (born November 2, 1944) is a British keyboard player and composer.
		As a performer on the Hammond organ, Emerson jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with Robert Moog, and work with his invention, the Moog Modular, an analog synthesizer, in 1969.
		In 2004 Emerson published his critically acclaimed autobiography entitled "Pictures of an Exhibitionist" which deals with his entire career, particularly focusing on his early days with The Nice and his nearly career ending nerve-graft surgery in 1993.

	Keith Emerson Profile
		Emerson came to the forefront of the band musically and as a performer, and for the first time in rock music, the main focus was towards the keyboards, particularly the Hammond Organ.
		Emerson gained fame for his outrageous stage performances backed by virtuoso musical performances, and the band was signed by the manager of the Rolling Stones, Andrew Loog Oldham, on the strength of their club act.
		Emerson's arrangement of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" also drew congratulatory comments from the composer himself, and has become a live-performance trademark, as well as achieving notoriety as a heroic theme for many sports broadcasts.

	Official Keith Emerson Website - The Keith Emerson Band
		Keith Emerson likes to relate the story of how he met guitarist Dave Kilminster, who assembled the nucleus of the lineup and provided the guitar work for both the Nice lineup and the ongoing band.
		While the album provides a unique perspective on the many aspects of Emerson’s music, Keith cautions that it doesn’t represent the work that he plans with the current Keith Emerson Band lineup in the future, since it was recorded very early in their association together.
		The Keith Emerson Band showcases the manic talents of Dave Kilminster, the highly regarded UK guitarist whose radical technique and mesmerizing sounds have been featured alongside rock luminaries John Wetton, Carl Palmer and Ken Hensley on international tour and on recordings.

	Rock Ahead Book Review - Pictures Of An Exhibitionist - Keith Emerson - keyboard player of The Nice and ELP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Keith Emerson has long been admired as being one of the finest keyboard players of the last thirty odd years, not only in the rock field but also the Jazz and classical movements too.
		Thankfully Keith has decided against that option and the truth is far more engaging and to be fair far more entertaining than any cut and paste job would have been.
		Although the book covers Keith's life right up to the present it does rather skimp on details towards the end so I am hoping that Keith will find the time to perhaps write volume two as he says in the introduction he is looking forward to furthering his life in music.

	MSJ - Pictures of An Exhibitionist - Keith Emerson
		Emerson has a very disarming sense of humor, and he's not above letting the reader have a laugh on him.
		The book starts in 1993 as Keith is in the hospital for a potentially career-ending surgery on his right wrist and is told in a "life-flashing-before-his-eyes" manner.
		I got the impression that Keith Emerson was a guy I'd like to hang out with on a Saturday night.

		Keith Emerson was in The Nice where he was noted for his renditions (torturings?) of classical works while stabbing his Hammond organ with knives.
		Emerson's sheer mastery of the moog and flamboyant technical ability were incredible; his talent along with the dynamo drumming antics of Carl Palmer, won the band a legion of fans.
		Emerson was widely regarded as one of the most talented keyboardists in the history of rock, and Palmer one of the finest drummers.

		Although the shows were billed on the ticket as Keith Emerson and the Nice there was a little more to it than that as you will find out if you follow the review links.
		It was in fact Dave Kilminster that inspired Keith to add guitar to the couple of ELP tracks included at this point in the set after watching him with Qango at the London Astoria in 2000.
		Keith Emerson, Davy O’List, Lee Jackson and Brian Davison formed a group to back soul singer PP Arnold, then riding high in the charts with “The First Cut is The Deepest.” Before long they had outgrown their place in the shadows and quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands.

	Keith Emerson
		After the Nice disbanded, silver-tongued Emerson lured both drummer Carl Palmer away from his successful gig with Atomic Rooster and singer Greg Lake away from a still-popular but internally-disintegrating King Crimson.
		ELP disbanded for the first time in 1979, and Emerson went on to pursue somewhat of a solo career and much more of a career in film sountracks.
		For a time, a nerve problem in his hand made Keith Emerson's musical future uncertain, but a surgical procedure in 1994 has apparently led to a full recovery.

	KEITH EMERSON WITH THE NICE
		The real distinction between The Nice and ELP is what happens around Keith Emerson; Carl Palmer and Greg Lake were both given bigger roles than Lee Jackson and Brian Davison (and deservedly so).
		Otherwise, you could take Emerson’s barrelhouse solo on “Hang On To A Dream” or his playing on the opening “Fantasia” from The Five Bridges and transplant it safely into the subsequent work of ELP without anyone knowing the difference.
		Note that the double album was reissued in the 1980s under the same ID # (SRM 2 6500) but with different labels (the skyscraper ones) and slightly edited language on the front cover that no longer identifies the set as a combined offering of The Five Bridges and Elegy.

		Keith Emerson's lightning fast keyboard playing, mixed with his total command of the ground breaking synthesizers built especially for him by Robert Moog, is nothing less than inspired.
		Keith says that these songs were almost technically impossible to play live years ago.
		Emerson Lake and Palmer still rocks out hard, and sound great showing no signs of age.
