EP87 - Daryl Hall and Robert Fripp - Babs and Babs 

I need a new album from Hall and Fripp.

Clicking on a live video and then it's Robert Fripp and Daryl Hall watching a dude sauté a salmon, love Daryl's House

Sacred Songs was such an underrated masterpiece - this is like Christmas times 1000!

Fripp's guitar sound is to die for. You'd know it was him from a mile away!

"Babs and Babs" is my favorite song off the *phenomenal* Sacred Songs album, and just generally one of my favorite songs of all time! Hall's voice still sounds so incredible

Fripp is spot on, the band is great and the live production fantastic. Just a professional job all around.

Shane showed out on Mr Fripp's visit. Impressed. He's also the music director too.

Chef's name is Belew... awkward!

Fripp's entry at 7.32 immediately moved me to tears - the sound, the force, intensity, and emotion - all the more powerful in the context of these great 'rock' musicians who allow him that space.

Used to smoke a joint and blast this in my ears with my Sony Walkman while walking the streets of the Bronx. Awesome Album. On point rendition.

Fripp is one of THE greats! Amazing performances. Hard to believe you two have never played together spontaneously like on the show. Enjoyed it immensely!

My favourite song from Sacred Songs. It sounds absolutely fantastic in this format.

Sacred Songs is a hidden treasure. It should get a proper re-release so that new generations can discover it and appreciate it.

I've saw Fripp play with Adrian Belew in the 80s and now I've seen him eat with Alex Belew. Maybe sometime he'll cover Miles Davis' Kind of Belew. 😀

I think this is the best episode in the history of LADH.

Amazing!! Babs n Babs was perfect....💯👏👏

I'm so happy the Daryl house is back💜🎶🎶

I've always enjoyed the enigmatic qualities of this song's lyrics, makes me go wandering into poetic interpretation land (my country). The guitar work is brilliant too of course. I always liked that Daryl understands mysticism, it's the best thing about him. He gets "soul" and "sole soul" (soul alone). The whole existential perspective is awesome isn't it? Lots of people are only focused on the music but I am always hooked by the words and meaning behind it.

Pure, beautiful and more Relax and Enjoy the genius on stage. As a British guy, I love Mr Fripp ❤️ 🎉

Babs and Babs is by far one of the standout tracks on Sacred Songs because it's totally unclassifiable and it's almost 8 minutes long!! Ambient Soul? No idea. But it's got an incredible vibe and production suited to the time but still feels a bit strange and interesting. The first time I heard anything off this record was in a bar in the East Village in the early 2000's. A friend was DJing and he played NYCNY and I thought the track was so insane and mathy with wild production that it had to be a contemporary band. I was shocked to see the LP cover when he showed it to me. A little while later I found my own vinyl copy of this totally forgotten and out of print LP for 4 bucks, which I still own. It's super great that these songs are now having a bit of a moment due to the internet, when at the time they were totally dismissed by the record execs. Some of these works are right on par with other Fripp collabs did Bowie and Eno. Daryl finally getting his due as a pop experimenter along the same lines.

I'm betting nobody saw this collaboration coming! Absolutely splendid!

I have taken more of my influence from Robert Fripp’s composition and orchestration, by a long shot, than anyone else. King Crimson’s music is perpetually in my brain and bleeds into everything I write, produce, and play.

The standout track on Sacred Songs! So glad we got to see Daryl Hall and Robert Fripp do this live.

The echo on Daryl's vocals at the coda is the perfect touch.

Utterly Fabulous...!! That is one seriously grown up song...

Utterly fantastic. Production out of this world.

Loved this! Dreamy guitar playing in there too. More like this please!! I would also recommend Toyah and Robert's Sunday Lunch. 😊

A beautiful story told , you are a great man Daryl, thank you.

Wasn't expecting Belew to make an appearance.

my face melted completely off and my children are crying

Oh, my Babs and Babs! You have outdone yourself Daryl. I had the pure pleasure of listening to this live at several of your last concerts in the west coast. This one tops them all with Robert joining in. Thank you so much. You all did a fantastic job and you did right by Babs.

Not even Marvel could conceive a super-talent mash-up this exciting. I'm super stoked to hear all these tracks from DH. Wild!

Toya & Robert's Sunday Lunch is worth a look!

Tour! Or another album. Damn, the music that DH and RF made in the late '70s was so great, and they really sound like they're having such fun.

These legends talking about their wives' cooking. Ya know, my wife never makes a meal the same way twice . . . And you're always glad. (Ba-dum Bum!)

Sacred songs great album I remember buying back in the day I believe recorded 1977 but out on sale 1980 🎉

Sounded so good great version of this song

I can't believe they're playing together again these songs are so great the first time they're even better now! call to Darrell produce on DVD these are awesome!

An afterthought: Alex Belew's coriander fennel cumin seed crusted salmon is going into my cooking repertoire. I usually just do a simple masala rub spice on mine so it's time to try something different. I hope Daryl will produce a cookbook from his series. LFDH has had some really fun cooking episodes - a genius part of Daryl's show because everyone likes to eat. My favorite was when they used the Green Egg. I don't barbecue but one day I think I'm going to have to get myself one of those (along with an outdoor pizza oven!). I can't believe Daryl sold his beautiful Fraser Ridge Farm property. That indoor swimming pool was spectacular and featured in one of my favorite episodes and songs: Midlife Matinee with T-Bone and Monte Montgomery. Absolutely brilliant.

Keep it up, Daryl! It could be the new Dick Cavett Show!

Wow, just magic!

I recently saw Daryl with Todd Rundgruen in MN at the end of the summer this year! Their version of "Babs and Babs" that night was 10 minutes of funky stank-leg rock! This episode of LFDH is one for the archives!!!

Never thought I would hear a live version of this.

This was great, sounds even better than the record.

Been waiting for this one! Thank you for getting back together guys! What you did together in the 70s is still astounding today 👏👏👏

Holy cow, what a killer, killer version of this song!

I love Mr. Fripp.

That blew me away! Don't remember ever hearing that piece, but wow! It's no surprise that this band are all artists, not just "pros". Highest compliments to all.

These versions are brilliant!!

Breathtaking. Brings me back in all the best ways. Thanks. Let’s hope we see more collaborations between Bob & Daryl. That band!!!

Best version of babs and babs

I'm psyched too. "Sacred Songs" is one of my favourite albums. I never thought I'd ever see this. So many memories.

😳😳😳😳 Daryl’s guitarist could be crimson sub on tour. impressive presentation and then Daryl comes back, wonderful 😎

Daryl - I met you and John backstage on your Marigold Sun tour in Detroit. I was star struck and the only thing I managed to say to you was “If you’re up for it, I’d welcome another Sacred Songs”. Your reply? “I’ve got Robert’s number”. So glad you do and did. Thank you for this. 🙏🤘

This is my favorite tune from Sacred Songs. Never thought I'd see it played live.

DHouse is the best. Even the artists I dont follow are great with that band.

A. Belew in the kitchen

OMG, fabulous your performance music home, here, thank you. Good time for all of you. Fantastic voice. Congrats for all of you.

🌠I've got no Words.....it's just sssooo Good !!!

@9:53 Robert Fripp's expression of satisfaction and admiration. Love!

My favorite

Thank you guys for doing this! This is so exciting!

One of the best albums that nobody knows is Sacred Songs. Amazing at its time, amazing now.

Currently my favourite track on RU-vid. Totally brilliant

Wow. This whole thing (all videos) are amazing. I've always loved this seemingly unusual (but perfect) combination of talents. Funny they seemed to come from two divergent musical worlds (they do) yet they are the same age. Both sound incredible.

Loved watching this and also seeing Daryl & his band playing it live at the Pantages Theatre in LA❤

Does it get any better than this? Fantastic.

Many thanks you all.

Just Wow oh Wow!!❤❤❤

Now i am hungry. Dinner & a fantastical show !

Love all this guys…they made our life a lot happier 🤟🏼😜🤟🏼

Incredible. What a song.

Just Excellent performance. Rock on 😉

This is just bloody remarkable. Stunning.

Ok, i'm getting the format, great stuff chaps, thats quite a tune...massive Fripp fan, many thanks.

Stunning, straight into my top ten of Live at Daryl’s House.

Exquisite guitar handoff before last verse, endoff.😊❤

I've been fantasizing about this for decades. Never thought I'd see it. Holy smokes.

I never thought darrell hall could ever be this cool ,,,, but darrell might be one of the best all over musicians ive ever heard ......... Thanks fripp and darrells band for proving me wrong ,, rock on ........

One of my favorite Song from you Daryl 🌹.... drifting away...my Heart is jumping @realdarylhall❤

I have a new love for this song ! Just great ! 💕🎶

Phenomenal performance!!!!!

It’s amazing if you were blindfolded, you wouldn’t know that was Robert Fripp, brilliant

Please Mr. Hall! Please Mr. Fripp! Sacred Songs is one of my all-time favorite albums! Please do a follow-up!

Aaahhh fantastic! Great to hear Daryl's house is back. Looking forward to listening to all of it. Quality guaranteed.

Yesssss!!!

How brilliant is this????

Nice! Love the Sacred Songs album!

Taking it to the next level? Dat's chemistry baby.... The labs looking fine.

Lyrics that get straight to your heart, beautiful arrangement that gives this song wings and enables each musician to shine. I'm happy and very moved, thanks again 🍀🍀🍀

Thank you Daryl and thank you for coming to Tampa Bay.

The most unlikely, eclectic union, pure soul music meets experimental atmospheric landscape, hall and Fripp, two completely different universe, and yet, it still works, even 44 years later

Sacred songs is such a great album.
