I saw him a couple of months ago in Swansea. Superb night which featured all the “timeless songs” that we all went to hear., spanning the back catalogue of hits they were famous for. “ Forever Autumn” being my favourite out of all of them.

Excellent, mal. He is a superb performer. Never disappoints. .

Never saw them but I loved Nights in White Satin, an absolute classic. They were never really one of my favourites, I was more into Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Floyd, Genesis, Hawkwind and The Nice back then.

Good choices, sinkov. I lived next door to Keith Emerson in the Bahamas. Super guy and lovely family. It was a sad day when he committed suicide.

That would that have been before his divorce I presume Swiss ?

Only ever saw him once, playing Preston Guildhall with ELP sometime in the early 70s.

Yes, sinkov. It was early 1980’s when he and Elinor were still married, with their two children. It was the time that ELP recorded “Love Beach” at the recording studios at Love Beach on New Providence.

He had a lovely boat called “Fingers” that had a brilliant sound system. You could hear him coming up to the dock from quite a distance!

I saw ELP only once at The Oval around the time of Tarkus. Great band.

For longest thread on this site I think this was probably The Corona Virus which commenced 24/1/2020 and ran to 3001 posts and 222,855 views. There could be a longer one but if so I don’t recall. The variety of topics covered on Turfites Talk is not just legion but legendary and subject only to the site rules laid down by Footy Mad itself and of course keeping a wary eye out for browsers of the snooping variety.
