Keith Freakin' Emerson! What a classic clip. Thanks for uploading.
And he looks so young. What a talent. RIP
The best bit of all is that they're playing live instead of miming along to a record.
I saw the Nice at the Fillmore East with this band, unbelievable footage, Keith Emerson's daggers and all.
Wie geil ist das denn! Super Programm und Atmosphäre und natürlich die Anfänge vom goldenen Zeitalter des Prog Rocks.
Inspired and mind blown at an early age by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, and here, many years later, I'm treated to a beautifully-preserved German broadcast of "The Nice" playing their take of "America." Keith almost single-handedly dragged "keyboardist" out of the ghetto of a band's uncool, and here gives us musical glimpses of what would later be heard on "Tarkus" and "Brain Salad Surgery."
Simply stunning video, and as a sweet bonus... a young, handsome Italian anchorwoman, Marina Morgan!!!!
Incredible video that's being preserved here!
I know. It has such brilliant qualities of visuals and sound. I love it. ☆☆☆☆☆
Das war noch innovative mutige Musik, und toll, das so etwas damals auch akzeptiert wurde!
Wenn ich vieles modernes dagegen höre; Techno, Hiphop, Rap...ohje!
Ja ja, früher war alles besser! Dieses Rentner-Gelaber ist einfach unerträglich...
Ja manchmal tut die Wahrheit weh!❤❤😂
Too groovy for words! I was obsessed by the Nice in the late 60s.
I was 12 in 1970 when a friends older brother induced me to The NICE.
Thanks Paul where ever you are!
I was 14 then, the same happened to me.
The Nice, here with David O'List on guitar. btw. Brian Davison was a fantastic drummer.
not that it shows here much, though...
Ich liebte immer dieses Stück und habe es bisher nur auf einer alten LP gehört. Nun Live und in Farbe - Ich bin absolut begeistert.
Back in those days, women were so heavenly and beautiful.
Um, reality check, mate. Humans are exactly the same as they were 50, 60 and hundreds of years ago. I'm thinking that you might just be a little hung up over women not having to shake their arses in the same way that they had to when you were young. And I seriously doubt that you are any older than I am. Get a grip, old dude.
Right genuinely pretty not Botox and ghetto tattoos lip filler like the skanks today
The day before I was born...still love this music! Thank you.😎👌🏼
"You kids WILL listen to Bernstein and LIKE IT!!"
Keith Emerson my Heroes Forever and ever,sure with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer,from Treviso Italy
Where has this clip been all of my life? First saw them at the Fillmore East in 1969. By then David O'List had left the band.
Did you see the shows of them with Ten Years After & Family?
Yeah…..🙏😎 cheers 😅🎉
Very cool! I'm glad that this came up in my thread. The video quality and sound is extraordinary, for the period! I'm digging this! Thanks for the posting!
German audio was always way ahead of anything else. I still use a Dynacord echocord tape echo unit.
Super, in restaurierter Qualität!
The intro song is Flights of Fantasy by The Ventures
very very good.........................................................................
Saw the Nice in January 1970 just before they broke up. I saw them, The Family and Chicken Shack all at the same gig for 21/- (that’s £1 and one shilling when an LP used to cost about £2!). What a fantastic Friday night that was. And next morning I purchased the newly released ‘Witch’s Promise’ by JT. I was about 16 and what a great time it was to live!
A guinea haha
That Emerson kid has a bright future ahead of him.
Most of the kids in the audience are thinking “What the hell. I can’t dance to this. “
"Now's the time on Sprockets when we dance!" :) That's Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer on keyboards, by the way.
“Would you like to pet my monkey?”😂
No, why you could have knocked me over with a feather.😅 really😅 duh😢
This would have made a great scene in the movie "Easy Rider". Just imagine Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson walking into a discotheque, and there are The Nice jamming to "America".
I know you must be referencing the chaotic performance in the club scene where the "Yardbirds" are playing in "Blow-up" (1966.) At least that's where my mind went upon reading your comment and picturing "The Nice" in a similarly raucous scene.
Absolutely amazing wild performance, always liked their rendition of "America" and Keith's wild organ playing and him putting those knives into the organ and going wild and crazy with his playing adds to the intense awesomeness of this performance, and love the psychedelic choreography of the camera work on this show, the did it nice and effectively despite not using the electronic video effects that were actually available in the late 60s! Love how they poured colour paint at the beginning of the show too, simple but very effective!
Awesome! Thanks! 🙂😎
Magnificent. I was 10 years old.
Und ich zwölf….
for those who don't understand German here is the description
For around eight years from 1967 to 1973, Hits à Gogo offered an overview of the international pop scene and light music from tearjerkers to rock music from folk songs
to rock n roll.
In this first color edition from September 2, 1968, the presenters Suzanne Doucet and Hardy Hepp led the evening. Short interviews with the performers make the zeitgeist of the generation visible: The Nice made political statements against the violent conditions in America while Doucet talked to the chansonniere Patricia about their clothing preferences. The Mini or the Maxi At the end we danced like there was no tomorrow.
The following pop videos can be seen:
-Tommy James and the Shondells "Mony Mony"
-Beach Boys "Do It Again"
-The First Edition "Just Dropped In"
-Les Sauterelles "Heavenly Club"
“Hits à Gogo” was created in co-production with Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and, for the first time, television in Italian-speaking Switzerland was also present in this edition
Moderation: Suzanne Doucet and Hardy Hepp.
Ich habe sie mal in London gesehen und gehört in den zechziger Jahren. Ganz tolle Grupe
I love a good tune you can hum when you're moving through your day.
Ich habe nachgeforscht. Bei der Dame bei 0:44 könnte es sich um Monique Krieger handeln. Sie war damals Ansagerin beim Schweizer Fernsehen.
Nice Music and very nice Grannnnnnnys
Amazing performance! Keith was already a superstar back then.
DER GENIALE KEITH EMERSON AN DEN SYNTHEZIZERN BEI THE NICE ❤😊UNERREICHT IM PROG-ROCK DANN BEI ELP.SO GREAT.RIP.KEITH EMERSON😢
Wonderful music - at a completely wrong place....
but it's a pleasure to see Keith that young, with the simplest Hammond, no moog, no syntetsizer... 🙂
Very rare colour footage featuring Davy O’List on guitar. Most of the early clips I’ve seen even with O’List have barely spotlighted him. Incredible. What a great original band they were. And to think they were PP Arnold’s backing band just prior to this. I wonder if there’s any footage of them with her. Believe they were listed a PP Arnold and Her Nice.
Da gab es nen guten Gitarristen der fehlt leider, das solo von Ihm (David O"List) fand ich damals so toll
This is great!!!
"Why did you put these knives in the organ?". This is a fantastic clip.
Unfassbar interessant.
Wonderful
It was brilliant way back then and nothing has changed , only my waistline and dark hair now a shocking white no baldness either a full head of hair thick and warm during the winter. I am 72 years young.
Video really starts @ 2:37.
the only rendition of the nice`s "america (from west side story)" I have ever seen with the inimitable davey o`list (later a founding member of roxy music) on guitar!
Ironically, the knives used by Emerson were ‘Arbeit Adelt’ given him by Lemmy (later of Motörhead). I wonder if the talking heads on this clip picked up on that.
They only translate
The great Keith Emerson. There is no substitution😊
🤣👍👍 das ist mal ein anderer schnack als bei ilja richterr. 👍👍😎
Wow!
heftig, Keith geht ja echt ab 😅✌️
I think, it must be said "Inevitable", in german "unvermeidlich" ❤.
Un giovanissimo Keith ❤
RUclips Gold! ❤❤❤
yah man, Emerson was a visionary
Keith Emerson smashing!
Ausgezeichnet
😎💪😎
Unfortunately, they entirely missed the point of the song 'America' from West Side Story.
And......does everyone know by now Lemmy was their roadie and provided the knives?
Good ol‘ wooden Leslie cabinet!😊
Grandeeeeee...Keith!!!! R.I.P.
❤
The Nice before Keef Emerson got Greg Lake to sing.
0:44 Wie steif sahen die denn aus. Da halfen auch die kurzen Kleider nicht. Gut, dass ich noch sehr jung war und auch kein Fernsehprogramm außerhalb Deutschlands sehen konnte. In Farbe.
Außerhalb Deutschlands nehme ich zurück. Kann sein, dass das in Deutschland zu sehen war, aber meine Eltern besaßen noch kein Farbfernsehgerät.
Ein bis zwei Jahre später fand ich Gefallen an der Minimode.
10:30 *_"America is Pregnant with Promise and Anticipation but is Murdered by the Hand of the Inevitable"_* ♫ hmm...well it may have survived the 20th Cenury but that statement remains highly prescient I'd say.
Par Excellence!
I didn't know Emerson invented punk.
Interesting look back at this time in rock and politics, but for a piece of music built on this West Side Story theme, I prefer the Yes version.
Yes also tore up Something's Coming from that musical's score.
The introduction music for whatever show this was merits another listen.
Yes is America was written by Paul Simon. This version was written by Leonard Bernstein. And of course nobody can match Keith Emerson not even Rick Wakeman😮
@@edljnehan2811 Yes bassist quotes a lyric from the Bernstein in their version, and offered a whole track based on another title from that popular musical, but I take your point.
I find Emerson's version unrecognizable, but maybe that's because I'm not a Bernstein fan, and wouldn't know the difference.
@@Bob-q5s check out the movie West Side Story and I'm sure you'll recognize it from there.
Könnt ihr auch die Sendungen von Spiel ohne Grenzen mal hoch laden . Aber bitte vollständige Sendungen ja . Danke
Flipper und Daktari bitte auch ! Und „seine große Stunde kam, immer wenn er Pillen nahm“ 😂
Keith Emerson. The King Is Dead; Long Live The King!
In seven days I will be exactly one year old )
I feel like this was a blueprint for early YES.
Of course it was. All of the members of yes especially Rick Wakeman were fans of the nice. Steve h o w e actually filled in as guitarist for the nice on occasions. Furthermore when ELP formed yes we're there opening act😮
Ist das die ganze Sendung ? Wo gibt es denn alle Folgen von den Sendungen ???
Got the single...somwhere in the garage...
😅❤❤❤❤❤
For who doesn't want to miss the orig. end statement 9:22 So true, still today, violence makes America great again ??? 😮 That's the road to success ??? - Can't think of such blury mindsets and success. Eat the money, but don't advise me.
Only one keyboard for Keith?? 😊
"America is pregnant with promise and anticipation but is murdered by the hand of the [unavisible]" ? Meinte er "invisible" oder "inadvisable" Synonym "unadvisable"? Vielleicht auch eine Wortschöpfung aus beiden Worten?
...of the inevitable
If I'm not mistaken, on the studio album that little couplet was associated with the song Dawn, and it was Dawn, not America that was pregnant with promise and anticipation.
..oh boy. The dolly daggers..
The intro music- is that recorded for the show or is it from an existing recording? Is there a name for that intro song?
I think it's called "Flights of Fantasy" by the beat-group Wonderland.
In the Hits à Gogo Show broadcast of February 26, 1969, it is mentioned at the beginning by the moderator.
I can't find much information on the internet about this track, it was probably never released on disc and only recorded as the theme song for the show.
@@vcrretro It's actually by the Ventures. It can be found in their 1968 album of the same name.
@@angah82 Yes it's true actually, I found it on YT too. Here is the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/PcQlktGZeeE/видео.html

Wäre interessant, wer die erste Sprecherin in diesem Ausschnitt war. Sie sieht fast gleich aus wie Paola.
Suzanne Doucet
@@OnlyNewAgeMusic Danke für die Info. Ich habe allerdings die Frau ganz am Anfang im gelben Kleid gemeint. Bei 0:44 Sekunden.
@Sportwagen Josef Was für eine Tessinerin?
Suzanne Doucet ist Deutsche. Die Ansagerin im gelben Kleid ist Monique Krieger und kommt aus der Deutschschweiz. Paola ist St. Gallerin, ist aber nicht im Ausschnitt zu sehen.
Keith in jung ❤ und mit Messer😂
For sale....Hammond B3....gently used....lovingly cared for by its previous owner
No 2 minute pop tune here! Classic.
Rock Pile, Toronto, 1968/69.?
That certainly wasn't a video recording, that was film, my dear VCR
At the beginning of the 1960s it was already possible to record on video. It was also called 2" Quadroplex MAZ. Here is an article about it: www.kinomuseum.de/exponate/2-zoll-ampex-maz/
@@vcrretro yes, possible, but not in this quality. Look at the highlights... They would have believed in an electronic miracle back then, like the ones you see in the film.
@@resitupfer7950 I don't know how to convince her. But it was definitely a professional MAZ recording on magnetic tape. It doesn't have the poor quality of a VHS tape, but it matches the quality of the picture sent directly.
Even U-Matic, which was better than VHS, significantly worse than 2" Quadroplex. I have the source material in 576i and upscaled it to 1080p.
The problem was the tube cameras. Recorded with film, dubbed on 2 inches, would be an option. No matter, the main thing is that it is a well-preserved contemporary document. And by the way, the 2" tapes are now all broken.
@@resitupfer7950 It's not a bad thing that the 2" tapes are broken. They were replaced in the 1980s and 1990s by newer Betacam SP or Digital Betacam tapes. These in turn were digitized a few years ago and are in the station archive as professional MXF files.
HENDRIX on keyboards!!!!!
I guess this inspired him to do his reworking of the Star-Spangled Banner the following year
Tolles Dokument! - _"Sendung für junge Leute!"_ 🤣🤣🤣
Knives supplied by roadie Lemmy
As good as Keith was, I never cared for ELPs music. Lucky Man was an exception, but again, not in my top 100 bands.
Die haben doch alle Hasch gespritzt ! 😂✌🏻
Keith acts out on a helpless musical instrument
Keith in Natura!!
wow what a find this is
Rather loose translation at the end mind
It's a bit of a shame that Davy O'List got a bit overpowered by the presence and volume of Keith Emerson. His guitar solo is barely audible.
Music from West Side Story.
i loooove all this progressive rock things. real music compared to all this chart-shit. thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emerlist Davjack
That is one creepy intro.
Eff you blasting America like Germany and England were better?
