===Pipe organs===
Occasionally Emerson used a [[pipe organ]], when available, in live performances and on recordings. He played the [[Royal Albert Hall Organ]] at a show with The Nice on 26 June 1968, where the band controversially burned a painting of an [[Flag of the United States|American flag]] onstage to protest against the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>Emerson, ''Pictures'', p. 102–103.</ref> The stunt caused a storm of objections in the US and The Nice received a lifetime ban from the venue.<ref name=TG16>{{cite news|last=Sweeting |first=Adam |author-link=Adam Sweeting |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/mar/13/keith-emerson-obituary |title=Keith Emerson obituary  |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |location=London |date=13 March 2016 |access-date=24 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.saskatoontalenteducation.com/great-music-the-nice-elegy.html |title=Great Music The Nice - Elegy |publisher=Saskatoontalenteducation.com |access-date=25 March 2016 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
