I just noticed this both on
altprogcore's blog
and
Kevin Gilbert's Happy Snappy Fun Show on FB
Scotty Smith who was a drummer for Giraffe, uploaded these 2 things. 1 is a full broadcast of STONE TREK which was a radio show on KOME I recall, that Kevin appeared on multiple times within a few years in the late 80's and early 90's.
The other is Sometimes Why, which was a few demos that per the screencaps on the video, Kevin and others may have handed out to promote. Under the name "Kai Gilbert" which is the stage name Kevin went by when he was playing with Eddie Money.
In just hearing some of them, I'm pretty sure I have heard these (the demos, not the ENTIRE STONE TREK tho) all per the sharing Tree years ago, although THEY SOUND BETTER.
And I'm sure there's plenty of KG fans who have not.

Rest in Peace John Wetton
Teamrock.com
The progressive rock and classic rock have a lot of aging musicians unfortunately, although with John Wetton, his medical battles have been well chronicled for many years. On more than 1 occasion I know he had to bow out of gigs with Asia in the last 10 years.
I guess beyond the Cancer he just succumbed to, Alcoholism and Heart Disease.
Because he has been such a beloved talent spanning talents with King Crimson, U.K., Asia and I was unaware, Uriah Heap and Roxy Music among others.
He had a big, deep voice, that you always knew was him. His bass playing also came among his talents, just within the Crimson work he did.
I sadly never got to see him, but I may have to pursue more of the Crimson and U.K. live work.
Greg Lake, Keith Emerson and now John...and Chris Squire. 3 of the most recognizable bassists in progressive rock have left us in less than 2 years.
And all to Cancer no less.
And for that matter, 2 of the vocalists from King Crimson. I hope Adrian Belew is okay.
I would like to make a list of living musicians and/or celebrities with Cancer and try and celebrate them now, while they are still alive. Peter Tork for example.
I wonder with Lake and Wetton passing, might that push some ability to have King Crimson get on the Rock Hall ballot next Fall? or ELP of course as well (Keith Emerson's loss adding to that as well). it shouldn't take something like this, but it might at least give some kind of consolation.
Rest in Peace John Wetton. I'll sadly never get to see U.K. live either, =\.

Rest in Peace GREG LAKE

Sucks Sucks Sucks!
It's just calendar year, but 2/3 of ELP now gone. Had you told me that a year ago, I would have thought you were crazy.
I saw him just a couple of years ago at The Varsity Theater. Very intimate, lots of crowd interaction, etc. He seemed well.
I had no clue he had cancer.
I also will never forget seeing ELP with Deep Purple and Dream Theater and Grand Casino Hinckley the summer of 1998 (August?).
Man o man..this 1 hurts. I plan to post a list of celeb deaths for 2016, to remember but also illustrate while it seems like a ton, it's not been all that different than other Christian Calendar years.
How much mention this will get with the hipsters? oddly enough, p4k ran something and The Needle Drop retweeted the BBC link above. Jon Bream, Chris Riemenschneider, etc..probably couldn't care less.
Granted, the hipsters like Crimson for some reason. ELP tho? why when (hopefully a LONG TIME FROM NOW) Carl Palmer goes, I question how much mention it'll get.

Keith Emerson Rest in Peace
Another revered musician from MY world is gone! Anyone's world I suppose. George Martin lived a full life, etc, but it is still sad.
But now Ketih.
I saw Keith once in 1998 at Grand Casino Hinckley with Dream Theater and Deep Purple. It was a very memorable show, including his famous work of getting on top of his piano and using a knife I recall.
While ELP aren't absolute favorite of mine, they are a band I have always enjoyed, and their best records like Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery especially.
Godspeed..jeez, this has been one tough calendar year, and it's only March 11th :{
I hope this is the last for a long time.
But in the mean time, welcome back friends to the show that never ends, come inside come inside, and don't forget the life and work of the great Keith Emerson.
oh and I need to now for certain, spend time with his band The Nice. I guess him and Jimi Hendrix are now jamming up in heaven as they always did and meant to do after after 1970 (HELP happened in a parallel universe I will always believe).

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and brother-in-music, Keith Emerson. Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come. He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz. I will always remember his warm smile, good sense of humor, compelling showmanship, and dedication to his musical craft. I am very lucky to have known him and to have made the music we did, together. Rest in peace, Keith.
