Bruford - "Sample and Hold" Live (1979) 

0.30 all together now..."and the lamb...."

Bruford makes look so effortless, and all the while, he's working his ass off. He is amazing.

I remember the first time and place I first heard this music.... I will never forget it. It forever changed me as a drummer and a musician. Bill Bruford is a genius in my opinion.

RIP ALAN HOLDSWORTH

Rest In Peace Allan...

To me this is one of the greatest collection of musicians to ever play in a band.the greatest bass player ever Jeff Berlin, the greatest drummer ever bill bruford and Allan Holdsworth is in my top four guitarists of all time I would say Frank Zappa Robert Fripp John McLaughlin and Allan Holdsworth, and finally Dave Stewart is up there in my top four favorite keyboardist of all time of course Keith Emerson , Patrick moraz, Rick Wakeman & Dave Stewart. Got to get some love out to Tony banks & Richard Wright. Too bad it couldn't have been Keith Emerson Bill bruford Allan Holdsworth & Jeff Berlin that night, but Dave Stewart will definitely do.

Whoa, that's Allan Holdsworth on guitar!!!!! Geez us Crikey!!!

I miss Allan. Such a wonderful guitarist

Bill Bruford ! ... Merci !

Saw this as a live BBC broadcast, when I was 14. It went right over my head, but I knew I wanted to 'go there'. A few years later, I 'got it'!

I was on the same bill (ha.....bill) on this show...His drums were half roto tom's with fiber heads witch gave them that "Simmins" sound and the middle roto tom was tune higher so when he rolled down the set it sounded like he criss-crossed roto's

Goodness gracious Alan Holdsworth was a beast.

Allan sure held the sample!!! Listen!?!?!? It's still ringing! (

The last ludwig and Hayman drumset that bill Bruford used. Shortly before he left & Went back to King Crimson again for the 2nd time and started using a light blue Tama superstar. But I love the 3 roto Toms That configuration right there was pretty awesome. Certainly one of my favorite kits he ever used. Cool rack of percussions behind into his right. Stewart Bruford Holdsworth & Berlin What a timeless sound & Majestic group

50 years and still waiting for Bill to take his foot off the hi hat for more than 3 seconds. ;)

I'm really impressed by Jeff Berlin's ability. He's so underrated.

Love it. I presume the lineup is Bill Bruford, Jeff Berlin, Allan Holdsworth, Dave Stewart.

I 1st heard about Jeff Berlin through Geddy Lee he said he was more the biggest influences on him so I had to hear this guy and he absolutely blew me away is one of the greatest bass players I have ever heard.

That snare drum...

Love this period of brufords work, love it all actually but this is very special hoghead

Jeff on Bass....OMG

Mind blown!! Again!!!

Definately Jeff Berlin on bass - I was there!

Timeless music

From one Patrick to another -Thank you !Saw this line up on tour later that summer at of all places "the Texas Opry House" which sadly no longer exists...managed to take a roll of a special tungsten Ektachrome had to push it a stop & half but they all came out pretty well , handheld too.

Bill Bruford : Super Beast.

Thanks for this!

Just amazing. What a stellar lineup.

So good

one of the most beautiful sound drumset ever hear...amazing Bill..❣❣❣💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Wow... What a lineup! Would love to have been there. RIP Allen.

I saw this band in Birmingham on this tour. Simply brilliant

Beautiful

El rimshot de Bill es inigualable el sonido de tambor que todos quisieramos tener

Bill's solo stuff with this lineup was/still my fav.

Love this Band!Great Fusion!

Its actually a great video, in that we can see them playing.

thanks very much,

Outrageously talented lineup. Holy shit!

Man, how I wish I could have been in that audience!

amazingggggg.....

Masters at play!

BRufford the master of odd time signatures.

Allan Holdsworth and Bill Bruford.. los mejores en sus respectivos instrumentos.

It's Remind me to lake Toba 80's the first time I heard this album

I remember either seeing on video or reading about Jaco doing a clinic maybe at Berkeley, and Jaco basically saying that Jeff is a real good bass player, and Jeff's in the audience, now I know why !! Bill always always worked with the best musicians, always and I've been a fan of his since the mid 1970s

so damn good!!! I saw this same band but with the 'Unknown' John Clark on guitar

Master legends !

@lucasbretels It is Jeff Berlin without a moustache ;)

The best band ever assembled.

While still in the 70's timeframe, Brand X is worth checking out. Some similar sounds (for example, little break at 1:09-1:16, is real close). Also, Bruford collaborated with the guitarist (check John Goodsall Project, watch?v=J0iqWVkUeog). More recently, Goodsall formed Fire Merchants, which is closer to the heavier side of material he did with Brand X (read: shred-driven guitar side of Acid Jazz).

Man Jeff was like Jaco but on the fretted jazz bass

Jeff Berlin on bass- Fender jazz (defretted) with Leo Quan "Badass" brand bridge (brass)..

Wow these guys were so good, never knew why they just didn’t continue, probably better than most of the bands out during that era…exceptional playing by all.

the studio recording is a better version or I am so used to hearing it from record . rip alan

This is talent fuck now they award fucking groups or singles singer as Janet Jackson my god next rock and roll hall of fame 2019

Nerd Trivia: 2:24 the part he wrote for Carry No Cross / UK, then reclaimed after he split.

Bruford Levin Upper Extremities, (BLUE Nights)

Saw them at Trent Poly.

Best prog quartet

I used to know a bloke who taught Bruford to play drums - he was French - the bloke, not Bruford obs we used to work at the same place a hospital we did not play drums at the hospital... Bruford was not at the hospital. Tish tosh baff boff tokka tokka I used to like Yes.

dude at 3:19 just LOVIN the soli, goin nuts

Did not know that Alain Caron played with Buford. I was expecting Berlin.

I would like to hear Bill Bruford and Pat Metheny play together.

1:30 NICE ONE !!! :)

saw this show at Dooleys in Tempe AZ. anyone else there? I have Holdsworth's set list from the show. anyone want to buy it? no

Planet X are maybe the closest. And i believe Allan Holdsworth played with them recently.

Pat Metheny must have listened to this

Does anyone know the drumhaeds Bill used on the Rototoms ?

Gentle Giant anyone.

2:15 Porto blast beats

that is Berlin

Along with RTF this could be the most talented fusion band of all time

SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!!!

There used to be the full concert of this show with whats her name....they took it down....because of whats her name and now we dont know who she is anymore.....

I change the name of your sword. From Luck. To Pluck.

Sorry, 'defretted' was his other 'Jazz' bass on that tour ....

Anyone ever see Holdsworth in the same room as Angus Deayton??

Man!! I'd have to say Jeff Berlin stole this show..

I can't understand this music and how they composed it

why was this in my recommendations...

3:03 whats up

Ve piscina senza acuĺ8

Darn shame. The usless camera work . Not focusing enough on allan holdsworth's hands

I love bruford - one of the most creative rock drummers. However, I’ve always felt something in his sense of time was slightly off. Especially during this era.

It is not Jeff Berlin here on Bass,,,I will look for it,,

Don't think he could play 4/4. Guffaw

Grande Bruford

Pretty insufferable to listen to - what a waste of these peoples’ talent. I remember the lure of playing stuff that was hard to play

Sounds like plagiarism to me ...
