This is getting worrying. My youth is dying slowly.

First saw them at the Odeon in Brum and we were late getting there. We had tickets for the balcony and as we ran up the stairs we could hear the first bars of Tank. Got through the doors and it hit us. Absolutely deafening and incredible.
RIP a master showman.
Keith Emerson RIP

Re: Keith Emerson RIP
Can only echo you sentiments Phil.
Looks like it was suicide; single gunshot to the head.
He'd been reportedly suffering some form of motor neurone problem for the last few years.
I guess he couldnt play any more and it got too much.
Puts ones own problems in perspective.

Re: Keith Emerson RIP
It certainly does.
Saw/heard this great tribute by Danny Baker on 5L on Saturday. As you may know he plays Hoedown at the beginning of every show.
