My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

I've only just learnt of this myself - very sad news.

After Keith Emerson's death I started playing some of their music I hadn't listened to for a long time. Earlier in the week I was playing the live album, 'welcome back my friends...' and loving it. Lakes singing on 'just take a pebble' is superb.

A very influential musician and a sad loss, especially if a big ELP fan and I was and remain so. I was chuffed to finally see them live after missing a concert at The Oval in their heyday because I was ill - RIP Greg and thanks for the memories.

I love this live version of 'From the beginning' although missing the guitar solo as per the studio version. Greg certainly put a lot of weight on!
