Bands that shouldn't have broken up

[ExpatAkronite]

Band ruined by death: H.E.L.P.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer formed what would become the biggest "supergroup" of the decade in 1970. They put together a hasty arrangement of songs and played the infamous Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 as only their second live show. Hendrix was going to join ELP the following month forming H.E.L.P., because he wanted to try his hand at something experimental and progressive. Hendrix died 26 days later.

ELP later decided they wouldn't even bother with auditioning any other guitarists, so Greg Lake took up the guitar and they went on as a three-piece.

(Old thread i kinow but since Script resurrected it...). Never heard that story about ELP--would have been epic. Saw them at the Muni for one of the first World Series of Rock concerts. 73 or 74. Revolving drum stage, spinning grand piano...pretty over the top; and a couple times at Richfield--(the Big House on the Prairie I think it was called?).
Funny how many of the bands listed here got back together for cash in tours.
