Prog-Watch 1135 - A Tribute to Keith Emerson (Remastered)

On 2 November, the great Keith Emerson would have turned 80. To honor this anniversary I have remastered the Keith Emerson Tribute program I did in the aftermath of his tragic death. The program has lots of great Emerson music (with The Nice, ELP, and ELPowell) and also features commentary from some great contemporary keyboard players, including Erik Norlander, Aaron Clift, Dave Kerzner, and Luca Zabbini. I hope you will join me in remembering a legend of the Prog Rock genre, who we lost too soon.
