This is probably one of the best live organ solo of Keith Emerson. He starts his solo as in the studio album with the same mood: great staccato and percussive organ sound(even if almost at double speed!).
Then he begin to develope the solo with some wonderful licks and "jazzy" patterns building up the mood reaching the climax(with a repeating ascending pattern of four semiquavers)with a beautiful and melodic line embellished with the entrance of the left hand that create the harmonic carpet(here you have goosebumps!).
He continues with wonderful rock\blues phrases and some beautiful accents displacement then the solo comes to an end in a similar way with the studio album.
Everything seems so easy and natural that you could say "...I can play it!..." but it's not so easy!
Apart from the "not so good" quality of the sound of the entire album and in particular about the organ sound (in comparison to "Picture.."), Keith Emerson show us his greatness and his "being in the flow...".
For sure one of many wonderful musical moments in E.L.&P. musical career.
