5.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice box set featuring Keith Emerson's early works., July 31, 1998
This review is from: Immediate Years (Audio CD)
Known for being the laboratory where Keith Emerson began concocting strange experiments with his musical influences, the Nice acted as a bridge between the psychedelic '60s and the progressive '70s. This superb, digitally remastered box set covers the first three studio albums, and throws in some interesting B-sides and rarities. The non-synthesized Emerson puts his trusty Hammond organ through the paces, especially on the excellent live Fillmore East performances from the third LP, entitled Nice. The knock on this band, though, was the hoarse, croaking vocals of bassist Lee Jackson. One wonders how much farther the Nice would have gone, if only they could have found a vocalist like, say, Greg Lake...
