Met Keith in an informal setting and hung for a few hours. You are so right...he didn't know me from Adam but couldn't have been nicer. Funny, charming, very warm. I kept thinking "This is the guy I saw in 74 playing Brain Salad and I'm talking to him like a friend!" GOAT indeed!

I understand depression: Just put yourself in his place . It’s hard to accept For the ones left behind. But that person you knew was proud full of life full of love but they knew that but they had succumbed to frailty and didn’t want to go through that. They remained proud their own person they didn’t depend on anybody they didn’t want to. They lived a wonderful life and knew it. We have to let that sink in, let it go. They want us to go forward free of their needs, free to love them in memorial in joy of their accomplishment free from the world.

He has inspired countless people, I wouldn’t even care about synths and keys if it wasn’t for Keith. I miss him and I always have a spot in my heart for anything Mr. Emerson did. And his son is no slouch either.

Fortunately there are still the albums and videos to hear and see them perform once more. Also there's hope for the new generation, really good and awesome musicians on keyboard, guitar and drums will be joining the GOAT. As for this interview: Funny and very. very diplomatic on Keith's behalf. I really don't think that ELP and Yes music would have combined in any way, neither needed to.

Keith Emerson was such a powerhouse and an absolute beast on the keyboards that if he had joined Yes, the music they could have created together would have been mindblowing but the only problem with that is Keith had such a powerful sound, it would have indirectly become the Keith Emerson band. I think in the long run, Emerson made the right choice by not joining as he, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer would go on to make history while Yes would still also become one of the great bands of all time.

I think for one album and tour it could have been a great experiment. But where Keith in essence was responsible for the primary sound of ELP, Wakeman found great spots to flourish _within_ Yes. Rick's solo work is an example where it's all Rick. It's easy to see why Keith passed on the offer.

While I never had the chance to see YES perform I did see ELP in 1972 at the Mar y Sol 3 day Rock Fest held near the beach in Vega Baja , Puerto Rico. A moment in my life I will cherish forever. You can hear the music from that concert here.

Maybe not. They were very different bands. Yes (like Genesis) relying on several clever musicians all equally contributing instrumentally. ELP were more like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, with Keith the main lead instrumentalist for 90% of the time. I reckon Keith would've felt too 'crowded'. (He actually jammed with Jimi Hendrix in either '69 or '70 but they both realised it wasn't working.) It's never just a matter of getting the best musicians together, it's mainly how the members of a band gel musically, AND how they get on together, the 'chemistry' between them.

Yes with Emerson wouldn't have worked because as you pointed out, he was (destined to be) the lead player. I think that's why he was comfortable in a trio and nothing larger. Besides, the musically creative chemistry that made Yes unique and made ELP unique were derived from notably different influences. Putting Emerson with Anderson, Howe, and Squire would have sounded like the result of too much mixing of drinks, a pounding musical hangover with a high-pitched voice.

If Keith Emerson had, in fact, joined YES..... one of two things would have happened 1) it would have been a complete disaster, or 2) YES would have taken off in an entirely different direction! Keith was a much different kind of player than Rick Wakeman, in my opinion. Keith was already used to running his own band, and his playing was the major part in most of ELP`s material! It would have been interesting! Keith Emerson, Chris Squire, Trevor Rabin, Steve Howe.... now, that would have been scary!

Kind of like when Lynyard Skynyrd lost Ed King and there was a conversation with Leslie West about replacing him. West offered to do it if the band changed it's name to Leslie West and Lynyard Skynyrd...Well LS was like one of the most popular bands in the US at that point. They had had a string of hit records in the top 10. Sweet Home Al..played every hour on the hour the summer it came out on every radio station in the country. West had one hit with Mountain years ago and he actually thought he was his star power was greater. They , like Keith Emerson , were thinking why the hell would we do that and told him no thanks

If Keith had been asked to join Yes in 1978 instead of 1975, he probably wouldn't have thought twice about it. Who knows ...

I believe Keith might have been talking about the unknown group Bodast, or one of the spin-offs of Tomorrow (Canto?). The band called Roundabout had members that left to join Deep Purple, and Howe formed a new group called Canto from those people, then later he met a singer-songwriter duo and called it Bodast which is sort of like an acronym for the names of the members, Bobby, Dave and Steve. If he asked Howe to join just after O'List left, then that would have been very early Yes with Pete Banks. That seems likely, but that would have been like '69, and Howe didn't join Yes until '70, and that was I believe when Lake and Palmer were forming ELP. Squire had seen Howe with Bodast and was impressed.

+Casey Van Glad you raised that chronological issue. O'list left in 1968 and Howe did not join Yes until 1970 or possibly the very end of 1969, so it must have been Bodast or some interim band.

Yep, you are right, Steve joined Yes as late as 1970, not 1969. I do not believe Steve would be good for The Nice because The Nice had a powerful and aggressive sound and Steve was such a gentle player.

Casey Van Yeah Keith got mixed up with what time Steve was seen. According to Steves version of this, he thought he was auditioning for the Nice and it was the same time that he had auditioned for Yes, So it was 1970. Think Keith then went back to the drawing board and came up with ELP.

Perhaps he didn't think it through too well. He could've done a Yes/ELP tour, played in both bands and pocketed $$$$$ more. Not to mention having his playing and name as a member of the Yes music machine.
