The Nice ... Karelia Suite Live 1969

The Nice (Keith Emerson) - Karelia Suite 1969 using Hammond L100 with Leslie cabinets.

The video shows Emerson throwing his L100 about and using the on/off switch to create the great rock effects that he has become known for - Emerson had previously learnt about these ''tricks'' some years earlier from the legendary organist Don Shinn who played organ with The Soul Agents.

Keith Emerson acknowledges that Don Shinn was a pioneer within the progressive rock movement during the late 60''s and that he, Shinn, had a major influence on Emerson''s style of playing.
