11月2日「ROCK 今日は何の日?」1944年、世界最高峰のスーパー キーボーディスト、エマーソン・レイク&パーマーのキース・エマーソン誕生。60~70年代、高度なテクニック、ワイルドなオルガンプレイ、ロックにシンセサイザーを導入した先見性、すべてがショッキングだった。

Keith Emerson
Il 2 Novembre del 1944 nasceva a Todmorden Keith Emerson, tastierista e strumentista eccezionale capace di coniugare rock, jazz e partiture classiche è tra i maggiori protagonisti del progressive rock, genere che in parte anticipa con i The Nice, band che (soprattutto per il primo disco) coniuga un rock psichedelico con partiture classiche e riletture jazz.
Violenta letteralmente i propri Hammond, le cui potenzialità esplora fino in fondo. Chiusa l’esperienza dei The Nice (a suo dire il gruppo aveva dato il massimo e non poteva fare di meglio) entra in contatto con Greg Lake all’epoca voce e bassista dei King Crimson (che stanno per perdere Giles e McDonald) nel corso di un tour americano. I due si piacciono e decidono di dare vita ad una nuova band, un trio basso, batteria e tastiere. Arruolato Carl Palmer, gli Emerson Lake & Palmer scendono in pista e divengono in breve una delle più grandi e rappresentative band del progressive rock, genere di cui, a buona ragione, sono una delle icone.
La band produce grandissima musica ed è spettacolare live anche e soprattutto per le performance sceniche di Emerson. Il gruppo si scioglie alla fine degli anni settanta ed Emerson si dedica ad una propria carriera, scrivendo tra l’altro alle colonne sonore (è sua quella di Inferno di Dario Argento).
Negli anni ottanta torna a lavorare con Lake negli Emerson, Lake & Powell che registrano un disco di taglio pop. Nei primi anni novanta torna in scena con gli Emerson Lake & Palmer che restano in pista, soprattutto live fino alla fine del decennio.
Nel frattempo inizia ad avvertire una malattia alla mano destra che con il tempo ne limita le capacità esecutorie. Emerson vive malissimo la situazione si lascia andare alla depressione, alimentata anche dal consumo di alcolici. Sino alla decisione di calare il sipario. Definitivamente.

Today is Rick Allen's 63rd birthday! 🥁 We celebrate him as Def Leppard performs "Bad Motor Scooter" with Sammy Hagar.
Rick lost his arm while driving his Corvette at 21 years old, when he lost control while trying to pass another car, hit a dry stone wall, and rolled the vehicle.
He worked with electronic drum engineers and producer Mutt Lange to design a custom kit that let him trigger arm-function sounds using a series of specialized foot pedals.
He returned to performing live with Def Leppard in August 1986 and played on the band's massive hit album Hysteria (1987).
