Tribute to Keith Emerson

Skip to Tracks
A brief one-hour tribute to the progressive rock icon and keyboard master, Keith Emerson, who tragically committed suicide on March 11. On today's show, we remember the prog giant's enormous contribution to the world of music with just a few (but not so short) tracks from the supergroup, Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Thanks! :) It'll be hard to do Emerson's great discography justice in just an hour, but I'll just stick to a few of my favourites ;)

Hey Peter, thanks for tuning in! They definitely could ;) If you're into the high skilled keyboardtry of Keith, I always suggest Rick van der Linden and Trace to people.

Thank you very much for this selection! When I herd the news I wanted to talk about it with someone but non of my friends know who ELP are. I'm glad CKCU knows how to celebrate good prog! Thanks again!

Hey Dimitri, thanks for tuning in :) Yup, CKCU is definitely the best place for some great prog ;). And very tragic about Keith. He definitely made an impact and left a big mark on prog and music in general.
