RIP someone or another

This highlights Emerson's earlier reincarnation - keyboard in the Nice.  In my original home town of Newcastle, the town council sponsored a piece of music called the Five Bridges Suite (since at that time Newcastle had five bridges across the river Tyne.  It was semi classical with the Northern Symphony Orchestra and the Nice.  Totally awesome.  The cover image is of the Tyne Bridge that was used as the basis of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.  The highlight is the Sibelius Karelia Suite, with Emerson in full flight (might be on disc 2)

Oh, wow fuck fuck fuck.....ELP was my first REAL big musical love.  Back in the early 70's, my brother had all their albums to date, and kept getting them as they came out up to and including Welcome Back My Friends....  

One of my early favorites was Pictures At An Exhibition, because they covered "Nutrocker" which had become the Boston Bruins hockey theme.  And then again, still in my youthful days, finding out that Toccata was used for the Creature Double Feature theme song...

I will always remember the image of him with his high boots, surrounded by rows of keyboards, going absolutely nuts playing like a madman....

RIP.....

EDIT: WTF?  "gunshot wound to the head..."?  Oh, gawd.....
