My favorite band of all time. Saw them at The Kessler Theater in Dallas 11 years ago! They were still fabulous!! Love this!

One of my favourite songs of all time - and right at the top of that era - is She's Not There. Brilliant keyboard work by Rod Argent, and all-round great sound. Years ahead of its time.

Rod was rock's first great keyboardist.
His skills made keyboard solos acceptable in rock music.
As great as Emerson & Wakeman were, they owe Rod a lot!
