I saw Keith perform at this Moogfest with the Keith Emerson Band, and many times before this with ELP. I'll miss him forever, he was the very best ever.
When I heard the news about his passing I was in shock and disbelief one of my all time favorites artist. Could not believe it and then months later Greg Lake passes away so soon thereafter. RIP Keith and Greg.Long live Carl and his continuing 🙏 tributes to his band mates and keeping the music alive.Thaks to Bob Moog for his development of the synthesizer a real game changer.Emerson / W.Carlos proved that.!!!!
margus: I followed this man's music from the days of "The Nice", and it knocked me over when I heard about the way he died. What in the hell was he doing with a gun anyway?? His keyboards were his weapons, and he used them to conquer his fans. What desperation he must have felt, to think that his life had to end just because his hand had problems. Segovia played into his 90's, not as well mind you, but he didn't off himself because of it.
Judgemental or not it was a sin to turn to suivide. I believe he couldve tried to seek counseling instead of taking his life Besides greg died later in the same year
I wish that moog would make a special edition moog one modular. Taking 8 or the full 16 voices from a moog one and putting it inside a large modular cabinet in 5u format.
It pains me so deeply to know that he felt the only solution to his sadness was suicide. He left us with a body of work so deep and wide that we may never get through it in a lifetime. Keith and Bob sit next to the lord almighty at the great model 55 in the sky.
Nice Brain Salad Surgery (Whip some skull on ya) logo! Not to be confused with Skull Skates from Vancouver BC.... Thanks Nardwuar and the internet for me now knowing both of those facts......
Poor Keith. It's obvious, he's struggling with his cognitive abilities at this point, as well as alcohol and his focal dystonia and maybe even very early stages of dementia at the age of 69. Let's all remember him for the stuff he did in the 70's. Amen
Ive heard Keith interviewed many times and he is a dull speaker. Always was. Goes on and on. I think alcohol and dementia are speculative to say the least. He simply couldnt play anymore and Ive seen him playing where he shouldnt have been a few times. Its hard to watch.
Look at thoses beasts ! no presets no memory ! just your brain ! for my software arturia minimoog i writed on paper a lot of "configurations" for those or those sounds / noises
+douro20 Most of the early Moog modular VCOs were used along with an oscilloscope, which allowed the user to monitor waveforms visually and adjust tuning. The video monitor was an outgrowth of that for stage purposes, so the audience could see as well. The Outer Limits TV show opened with just such an oscilloscope display that changed with changing pitches of a crude oscillator.
The term 'progressive-rock' is certainly better than 'techno-rock' in my opinion. But the abbreviation 'prog-rock' does sound kinda funky, frog-rock, nah.
scotty: I read an interview with Steve Hackett where he referred to this particular brand of music as "Long-Form Rock", which it is. I've also heard it called "Permissive Rock", instead of "Progressive Rock", which is also an apt moniker. After all, somebody at those record companies HAD to give their permission to put it out to the public didn't they ?? We're thankful they did, otherwise disco might have been a lot bigger, a frightening thought.
@@mrmusic248 It's definitely permissive - that to me is the most important thing - but long-form suggests that the songs must be 7, 10, 15 or 23 minutes or whatever, which simply isn't true. A 3.5 minute song can still be progressive.
