Knife Edge

Interesting note...Banks was inspired to write The Knife after seeing Emerson perform with The Nice in concert, so there's kind of a connection with these two songs...

As I understand that was not competely how it happened but Rutherford was a fan and brought his copy of the Emerlist Davjack album to Tony Banks attention who was inspired to write The Knife as a result. Banks admitted he didn't like ELP so he hadn't paid that much attention to The Nice but he liked the early Nice stuff as it was more 'compact' in his words. Emerson was actually a Genesis fan early days and occasionally would write reviews for them and other bands he saw around that time. He was confident they would become big and forecast it.
