Jesus! I hadn't thought of this band since at least the late 70s! This really brings back some GREAT memories of my mid high school years (circa 68-69-70) !! Thanks for a wonderful posting !!

Saw The Nice live in London in the late 60's, this was pretty much their "anthem" along with The Karelia Suite. Like beecees this was my lead into classical as well as the then named "underground" music. Real memory lane stuff!

I saw them in 68 in Brighton with others. It was a kind of breakthrough.And bougth this amazing single -- the only music recorded with Nice at that time. I think it is still the longest single ever made.They were fantastic.

From my memory 'The Nice' was our slang term for 'the dealer'. Can't remember having heard it used for 'speed'.

Wow this takes me back over 40 years, Ive got the 45 some where! If it wasnt for Keith Emerson I'd never have got into Bach, and yeah Bernstein was livid. But then he must have approved the of Vet war, so lets play this again and again & let him turn in his grave. Maybe he forgave them eventually, when he later met the injured veterans?

"Dated REALLY badly?" The music was of its time, of course, but it is no more "dated" than, say Piper at The Gates of Dawn, or Strange Days, both of which seem to enjoy the status of classics. In terms of songwriting and execution, I think, Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack was pretty much top rate stuff. Ars Breta has its moments, but already Emerson's attempt to play classical music as rock are afoot. As for ELP, Peel's remarks express my sentiments better than I can.

The Nice were an extremely good band. Trouble was, some of the "psychedelic" tracks on Emerlist Davjack and Ars Breta (etc) have dated REALLY badly.... of course, Keith Emerson went on to form ELP. The famous John Peel comment was that ELP were "a great waste of talent and electricity", but - well, compared to what's out there today.....

Only one tune is from West Side Story. The opening chords and a third melody that starts at 1.35 are from Dvorak's Symphony number 9, 'From the New World'. Not just a pretty face, that Keith Emerson.
