I've seen ELP play 3 times and he always did this. Great stuff. Dunno how anyone can play a keyboard upsidedown. Keith was doing this same kinda schpiel in the 2000’s.

ELP's music is a direct influence on Final Fantasy's battle tunes, and many people don't realize this. It was a revelation to hear Tarkus and then make this connection.

I hope that he fixed it after some live shows and didn't just throw it away...The fact is that it was a very durable instrument though... This was vandalism…was he stoned?
