In December of 1969, King Crimson and The Nice opened up for the Chamber Brothers at Fillmore West in San Francisco. During a sound check, the bassist for King Crimson and the keyboardist for The Nice started an impromptu jam session, and, as the keyboardist said, "Zap! It was there!"
They agreed to get together, maybe even start a new band, once they were back in England.
Keith Emerson was the man on the keyboards.
The bass player was Greg Lake.
They would go on to recruit Carl Palmer, the drummer from Atomic Rooster.
