EP87 - Daryl Hall and Robert Fripp - Heroes 

Robert Fripp's contribution to HEROES should never be underestimated, remove his part and the song just isn't the same.

I am a lifelong Bowie fan and let me say - this rendition is awesome!

Daryl is still one of the most soulful singers! Not bad for a 77year old guy!

Iconic guitarist on an iconic song. God, how I miss David Bowie.

Fripp got Daryl to break house rules, because ..... He wanted Daryl to sing Heroes for him and for us .... Thank you, Daryl, for bending the rules. Thank you, Robert, for being amazing to your fans.

when Robert Fripps starts with that guitar is like watching Michelangelo painting. That particular sound and playing in Heroes is history for mankind.

The story goes that when Bowie got on the phone with Fripp he told him that he wanted Fripp to record some "Hairy chested rock n roll guitar." So Fripp got to Berlin, listened to what they had so far, told Eno "I got an idea for this." - He set his amp up to "search for cover" volume levels, walked around the studio until he found the sweet spot where his guitar would feedback in the right pitch. Marked that spot and then found the spot where his guitar would modulate to the higher pitch and marked that spot too. During the recording he would step back and forth with his guitar basically howling for mercy. - It was done three or four times, and all takes were overlapped on the final version of the song. Creating this iconic "howling siren" part. Enter the rehearsals for the upcoming tour. Fripp couldn't be booked. Enter Adrian Belew, who was hired, was given a set list and the instruction to learn the songs. At the first rehearsal, Bowie and Eno find out to what an extent Belew had done his homework. Because there he was playing Fripp's "howling siren" part, all three overdubs, by himself. Bowie and Eno were in stitches at how Belew could actually play what was meant to be an impossibly to play guitar part by himself.

Great tribute to Mr. Bowie. ❤

Robert Fripp is an absolute example of a guitarists guitar player totally underrated but peerless

I'm so happy Daryl's House is back. We need it.

Daryl’s band is exceptional, Robert is spot on!

This a performance beyond description. Thanks to Daryls House and RU-vid for providing this.

I never knew Robert played on Heroes it's so cool after all these years to find out that little nugget

what an absolute treat! I am so happy that Daryl's house is back!

One of the best songs ever, no matter who is playing it. But, damn, Fripp's contribution adds SOOOOO much. I've heard so many covers of this song, but this shows how integral Robert Tripp was to the genius of the original recording. Thanks!

At 4:08 Fripp throws in the guitar line from "Teenage Wildlife", from Scary Monsters And Super Creeps which he also plays on!

Daryl, if you are reading this, please consider a tour with Fripp. Play the entire Sacred Songs and Exposure album for the setlist. That would be epic. Fingers crossed!

Totally agree with Robert: the band is incredible!

Fripp's playing on Heroes is legendary, and to boot, he founded the best prog band ever, and easily one of the most innovative bands in rock music.

Drinking my coffee in Thailand this morning and I came across this gem…….. so beautifully done. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mr Fripp is a legend in his own lifetime! Thank you Robert for everything you have done and still do today!

Smooth yet soulful rendition! The e-bow guitar through-line is such a distinctive, dare I say, iconic part.

Robert and Daryl show us, that Music keeps you staying young. Exeptional Perfomance !!

Robert Fripp is a musical genius.

It doesn’t get any better than this. I think this might be your best cover ever. Daryl’s vocals were amazing, the band was superb and Robert Fripp, well he’s the bomb!

Came for Fripp but stayed for the magic of it all. Everyone was great!

It`s not lost on him (Robert) how great this little group is. Played, mixed, and mastered all in one go. Thats how its done in a perfect world

I really feel welcomed in to Daryl's house. Robert is such a sweetheart. This was a splendid rendition of Heroes. Fabulous musicians all round. Thanks. x

Life affirming performance.

WOW! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VERSIONS OF THIS SONG BUT WITH ROBERT FRIPP PLAYING IS REALLY SPECIAL AS HE CREATED THE ORIGINAL RIFF OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDING. WELL DONE, DARYL. 👏👏👏

Daryl, none of my friends understand how much work it is to make these songs happen. Regardless of who wrote it, or who performed it, no one understands the struggle to make it tight. You are the new Wrecking Crew

Great session, gentlemen! Fripp nailing it! Daryl with the splendid vocals. Band is tight and smooth running! Thank you!

Robert Fripp is such a beautiful player. His signature on this incredible masterpiece is without dispute. Without Fripp this song loses a piece of its soul.

Robert Fripp is absolutely right,the band is phenomenal.W.T.F. as deep as Robert is,I'm glad he got to experience the gresat people and the great music that is within the Walls of Daryls House.The band abnd Robert truly had a great time.Glad he stopped by.

I didn't know that I needed this today! Thanks Daryl and Robert! What was cool they rocked it out on the first take!

When I was a boy the Berlin Wall came crashing down. The line ‘I Wish You could swim like the dolphins can swim’ was inspired by a teenager swimming to freedom across the Elbe river who was machine gunned to death by communist soldiers. And now, as an old man, this song continues to resonate today. ‘I wish I could fly like an eagle can fly’ for the children of Gaza City.

Of course you should do this song Daryl! You and Robert are nothing less than heroes

Love that rf brings the teenage wildlife lick at the end.

When you get half-a-dozen great artists playing together in one room the sound is MAGIC! 🍄

No one plays like Robert Fripp. His sound, phrasing and playing are unique!!

One of the greatest songs..and they really do it justice

We love these performances from such accomplished musicians

My favorite song of all time, of any genre!🤟🤟🤟

There is Heroes WITH Robert Fripp and without Robert Fripp, there is no Heroes.

Top Ten Things I never thought would never be on Daryl's House...

Fantastic, love this rendition, great sound, we miss DB!!!!

Wow! I just had a senior moment! I remember "Sacred Songs" first came out, i was in college and used to rock that one to no end! Daryl Hall has so many dimensions and flavors; this show is a perfect showcase for him!

Daryl, what a champ, singing better than ever !

Wow..what a band!!!

The band I'm currently in plays the King Crimson version of this. So much fun to play! This was awesome.

This is unbelievably great!

LOVE Fripp's outro =a musical homage to his contribution to Bowie's "Teenage Wildlife". PS-Couldn't agree more with both Daryl's & Robert's takes on the day as a whole. BEYOND WORDS!!! (And I for one WAS reduced to tears more than once). Perfect toast as well Robert. PEACE!

I could listen to these guys all day!

The drone of Fripp’s guitar is incredible. It’s like an another voice singing along throughout the song.

Two great artists and spectacular band! Daryl sings incredibly still! So much soul!

Keeping real rock n roll alive until the end! Much respect to all..

Fripp and Daryl - I’m in heaven!

Phenomenal drummer sets the whole tempo and feel for a very talented band to latch onto.

In the lysergic halcyon days of yore, there was a bag of cookies on the table, Grandma's Chips...The resulting jam started something like this 'I remember Grandma's chips, they remind me of Robert Fripp', most of the guys are gone, but to see uncle Bob like this is priceless!

One of my favorite songs...this band does a great job..great mix too.

Daryl ~ You Are the Sweetest Thing 🎶🥰🎶

My new fave music heroes!! This is falling in love music! Very SINGALONGABLE❤❤!

Just a ridiculously great band!

Kickass cover of an exceptional song.

I love this version.

one of the best songs ever...

Daryl that was F'n great

For Fripp to say what he said, explains the situation

i did not know Fripp was on it!? Bowie never ceases to amaze!

Unbelievably cool!!!!

Unbelievable!!!!

0:03 he said it, HE SAID IT! "Hall & Fripp" is the official name for this collaboration now!

That was a phenomenal take boys!

Yeah, that is one hell of a band.

How great is that!

Keep it coming Daryl. I love it Keep it coming Daryl and gang. I love it!!

My band does this song…. People love it… it touches the soul!

Daryl's Voice❤

One of my favorite Bowie songs.

Damn THAT was sweet boys. Robert looks so happy.

Bloody legendary

Couldn't stop replaying this tune... Awesome band.... Great version.

I am so happy to see this. Props tp Daryl and the show. The happiness on Father Fripps face is so cool.

Thank you Guy's... As it was a better version than many; it really made my day!

I love this song because it has incredible forward thrust and the lyrics are simple but profound; we all want to be the heroes of our own lives but it's always better with companionship.

Man I enjoyed this so much, thanks to all involved. Couple more shots of bass player would have been great. Peace from Thailand.

Absolutely legendary!!!!! I can't believe this exists right now!!!! Daryls house!!!!!!

I can't put into words how much I loved this video. Awesome. Fripp and Hall!

Great version! Congratulation!

Loved this performance.

Fripp ...what a guy.

Fripp's comments at the end bring the song to an even HIGHER level.

Robert Fripp = Genius. King Crimson; collaborations with Brian Eno, this - the list is endless. The man is an absolute musical legend to those who truly appreciate music!!!!

Pretty dam cool!

One of the best versions - Respect !!!

Holy canoli. I thought Id never see the day.. Love Daryl's house again. Always right in the room. Now I search for Daryl singing Chicago. She laughs like the breeze.

I am levitating Peace ✌️ 2023

I saw David Bowie in Philly the show is beautiful all the people there were really nice and respectful
