Keith Emerson on "The Late Show with David Letterman" (1986)
Description :
RARE VIDEO from Summer 1986 -- As the 1986 "Emerson Lake and Powell" tour had just commenced, Keith Emerson joined Paul Shaffer and the "Late Show Band" to perform a rockin' version of the song, 'America' (from West Side Story).
Note the MASSIVE *Kurzweil 250 sampling synth* (Kurzweil's first model, from approx. 1983) that Keith is playing there, along with the Hammond B3 organ :-)
And check out Paul Shaffer watching in awe during the solo!

He is just so used to pushing the tempo ahead with his little trio that the players here are doing all they can to keep the thing from just taking off.That was always my one beef about ELP live...
Anti-Semitism has no place anywhere, Steve. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Don't worry about it, Steve is a moron, they're a dime a dozen!
schaefer wasn't even good in spinal tap.he got the gig because jewboy reiner hired him because he is jewish.
For someone who is 54 you have the mentality of a ten year old.
even a ten year old can see paul sucks and emerson is the best.
I'll agree that Emerson is great, but Paul is no slouch
It's too fast, too out on the front of edge of the beat for my taste. Typical of the Eighties (And of Emerson) Impressive as all hell, tho.
great player but a rather boring piece ill take tony banks anyday
