The Nice Concert History

The Nice were a late 60s rock group, known for being one of the first few to play in a progressive and symphonic style of rock, with strong influence from Western Classical music. While they did not last more than three years, they were a major influence in bridging the gap between the psychedelic rock of the 60s and the progressive rock of the 70s. Led by keyboard maestro Keith Emerson (later of Emerson, Lake & Palmer) they were one of the first bands to fuse rock with an orchestra.
