Been a bad few months for 70s music fans. (if that doesn't sound too selfish)

The Nice were the 1st band I ever saw in the late 60's. That clip has brought back fond memories, Tony.

[tonyav]

Your welcome, melv. The first time I heard of Keith Emerson was when he was with the Nice, I think it was because he stuck some knives in the keyboard of his organ ( musical organ that is ) during a performance of America.

[Trishy]

The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack by the Nice was the first LP I bought.

[melv16]

Same here, trishy. I went on to buy all the other albums as well.

[Svejk]

Lemmy was a roadie for The Nice.

[Lie-in King]

That's sad news, RIP Keith.

R.I.P. Kieth

Given the exponential rise in stardom in those times, I'm afraid these sad occasions are going to be weekly and daily, from now on.

Anyway, the band is going to be 100dB louder, tonight.

Pretty sure he was in the backing group for PP Arnold on at the Torch, late 60s. Bit hazy there. But she was hot.

[tonyav]

Interesting that, Togo.

[marval]

RIP Keith

[tonyav]

The VIP'S, Togo.

Indeed The Nice were PP's backing band during the period when she recorded The First Cut Is The Deepest. ELP were part of the soundtrack of my youth, very sad

[melv16]

They were the backing band for PP Arnold, togo. Davy O'List went on to join King Crimson.
