The Nice one of the pioneers of progressive rock music played this memorable gig at Fairfield Halls in Croydon which was also filmed - see YouTube Video below.

The Nice was an English progressive rock band from the 1960s, known for their unique blend of rock, jazz and classical music. Their debut album, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack was released in 1967 to immediate acclaim. It is often considered the first progressive rock album. The Nice are also a forerunner of the much more widely known Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
The band was formed in May 1967 by Andrew Loog Oldham to back soul singer P.P. Arnold, a performer who reached a far higher level of popularity in Britain than her native America.

In the video below the first part is the well known psychedelic medley of "America" from Bernstein's "West side story" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony".
