I've just heard the
tragic news of the loss of a another great musician. One of my all time favourites from the late 60s London college circuit, his mastery of the Hammond organ was a sight to behold and a wonder to hear. His Music will live on, He will be missed. ------------- Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it. |

Sad to hear. ELP ... one of my all time favorite bands. Emerson could play a moog with one hand and the organ or piano with the other! I got to see ELP in 1974 at the Yale Bowl in Connecticut. Including the concert, that was a day of 16 non-stop hours of ELP! I need a "Brain Salad Surgery".  Hey Drewan77 your "man cave" comes to mind?  ------------- Bruce AT-14SA, Pickering XV-15, Hana EL, Technics SL-1600MK2, Lautus, Majestic DAC, Technics SH-8055 spectrum analyzer, Eminence Beta8A custom cabs; Proprius & Reflex M or C, Enjoy Life your way! |

More sad news. One of the first, and best, concerts I went to was at the Oval cricket ground. Me and my mate Micky bunked off school to go and buy tickets ... any excuse . Details are hazy, but I remember ELP had 2 fire breathing Tarkus tank things either side of the stage and before their set he spent ages trying to get his Moog in tune - I guess the weather affected it. A pretty amazing line up - apart from those on the poster Argent also played and Jack Bruce did a set with a pick up band... and all for a quid!!!! and look how many branches that record store alone had in London... those were the days! ------------- Dave Michell Gorbe + HR PSU -> Cadenza Bronze -> SME V -> Elevator -> Accession -> Proprius -> B&W CM6 s2 | Cusat 50 & Spatia cables ->

Some comment said "what a beautiful piece.... Not just rockers. He was so much better here than with ELP." Obviously never heard ELP properly! ------------- That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |

Further.... Play ELP Pictures at an Exhibition using a Hana EL via unmodified Technics SL1200, Accession MC, Majestic, Proprius, Harbeth M20's (or floorstanders) and you'll find what's nice... My copy was bought SH and crackles but the music overcomes them. Fun or fogey? Ham or cheese? (sorry, wrong album...) ------------- That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |
