One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever... when I was going to college I would wake and play this song over and over again to start my day back in the early 80’s RIP John
When I was a kid in high school, I would listen to the local college radio station every morning before leaving for school. One morning this song came on. I SCRAMBLED to turn on my tape deck and record it! I got most of it. I would play this song for DOZENS of musicians (I play keyboards) and people who were basically "music encyclopedias". Nobody had the slightest idea who it was, nor had anyone ever heard the song!!! For DECADES I searched for this song. Then one day I told my wife about a snippet of the lyrics. She HATES all music except old fashioned country music. However, she searched the internet and casually told me later in the week, "That song you've been searching for is called 'Rendevous 6:02' by a band called 'UK'". I didn't believe her, but upon looking it up . . . This is one of those songs that sticks with us for our entire lives. I sit in the dark and play it over and over. Thank you, John Wetton and UK - RIP!
Moving story 😊 in the UK we worshipped them in my group of friends and went to every gig we could. They illuminated my teen and later years . I am classically trained. Of course I loved them, the pinnacle of progressive rock bands, virtuoso 's 😍

This piece is just stunning and let's not leave out Eddie Jobson's superb accompaniment. So many of these wonderful musicians are leaving us - but they leave a superb legacy of real music which, sadly, our younger folk will miss unless we educate them! I know that sound pompous, but we are lucky to have had these guys from our time and still luckier that we have the means to preserve their work. God bless them.
My heart is broken. Such a loss of a beautiful soul and brilliant musician. I learned so much from him. That's how he lives on through us. Listen and learn.
Can't believe I did a 2 week tour of Germany and Vienna opening for Saga (right around this time of year, 26 years ago. We opened the show (my band was called Britton) and Saga closed. In the middle was Mr Wetton and his acoustic guitar. I would stand off the stage at the side and watch him very time he came on. I used to have breakfast with him every morning. He was such a nice guy and a BRILLIANT musician. Godspeed, John Wetton. Time flies...
But also, these musicians know their history Because after Waterloo England fell into another financial system, the fall of Waterloo was unexpected for the UK I love the lyrics together with the beautiful sad sounding piano
I discovered this song about a month ago. Cannot stop playing it. Get misty every time. Such ethereal singing and piano. Music of the spheres no doubt.
Huge U.K. fan here! I love all three albums, but probably Danger Money the most! This is my favorite song, with "In The Dead Of Night" being a close 2nd! Thank you very much for posting! This is awesome! R.I.P., John Wetton...
Asia ✌️ I Remember Discovering this band, around the late 70s early 80s. What An Amazing 'Discovery' Listening to their Songs, the words and 'Meanings' Very Special. 14102021. 'Humanity'.
John's voice is as beautiful as ever here and Jobson's stellar keyboard playing too. One of UK's finest works . R.I.P. John. Prog will not be the same without you !
RIP John Wetton. Too many times people get described as legends, you sir, are one. I've been listening to your skills since 1982. Today is a VERY sad day for me and millions of fans.
gracias John wetton por compartir tu extraordinaria voz conmigo, tu música me trae inolvidables recuerdos de mi juventud, de las novias, los amigos que ya varios se fueron, gracias por todo, hoy tengo casi sesenta anos pero al escuchar tu música me sigo sintiendo joven como antaño
Genialne!John to śpiewa w niebie!Jest tylko takich ballad tej rangi np.Kites,list in The Lost World,Sympaty Rare Bird i niewiele innych Chwytają za serce!❤
Beautiful song and excellent vocals John Wetton. The keyboard player was amazing as well. Thanks for posting this beautiful song which I never heard before. Loved it.
It's five o'clock Driving down Park Lane As London leaves The weekend again Through the dark citystreets And the clinging rain I take my car towards the Thames And Waterloo Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Is that a face I saw? No, just a trick of light It's getting clearer now We're moving out of sight It's cold and late And I can't miss that train I turn around, walk through the arch Of Waterloo Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Rendez-vous, 6: 02 I see that same wooded face It backens me from the gate Did you not know, my friend Two years ago, watch the end After the war Waterloo was no more But your ticket states There is one train It's leaving now There is a place Remember my face And Waterloo
Wow. Wow wow wow. As the fortunate owner of the UK albums (vinyl) this is music that I frequently listen to. This live version, however, gives me even more goose bumps.
Such beauty that will never die. John Wetton was an idol of mine. I will miss his always perfect vocals. Eddie Jobson is the best keyboardist ever in my humble opinion. Such beautiful playing transports me to wherever he sends me. RIP John Wetton. Eddie Jobson has lost his greatest partner in music.
Like his voice, but his bass guitar was astonishing. His playing during the KC 72-74 incarnation was out of this world. Anyways, I really like this song, too. RIP.
Este tema me ha acompañado toda mi vida, ahora sé porque la buena música perdura en el tiempo...!!!...gracias a éstos músicos que nunca mueren porque existen en nuestro corazón, alma y conciencia...GRACIASSSSSSS
I was lucky enough to see them live way back when they opened for Jethro Tull at the Oakland Coliseum. It was without Holdsworth but Holy Shit. Alaska into Time to kill sounded just like the Live album but loud and powerful. Watching Terry Bozzio leap at those China Pang Cymbals was breath taking. I wanted to play every UK tune I could learn (I play keys). Steve Smith, the drummer for journey was there that night as well and commented that it was one of the best shows he had ever seen. His other one was seeing Bonzo with Zeppelin. UK was an amazing band to see back then
Heard them first time not so long ago thanks to Spotify's suggestions. Got caught by that piece, it have a melancholic and disturbing tone, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
John Wetton. Uno de mis referentes musicales a lo largo de mi vida desde la época de King Crimson. Esta canción es inmortal. Me trae el recuerdo de cuando era joven y compré el segundo disco de UK, "Danger Money". También les recomiendo que escuchen el primer disco de UK, y el que se grabó Bill Bruford, "One of a Kind". Imprescindibles en la historia del jazz/rock progresivo por ser para mí unas obras únicas en la historia de este estilo musical. John Wetton: Descanse en paz
Sortir une bonne chanson est à la fois une mort et une naissance. Les sons contenus dans celle-ci atteignent la fin de leur vie. Pourtant elle existe dans un état d'énergie potentielle permanente, tout comme la mémoire d'une âme décédée aura toujours le pouvoir de nous émouvoir 🕊
Love this song, love UK , Love John Wetton. All our heros are passing ! We need to share this great type of music with people to keep Fusion music alive. Please Alan Holdsworth please stay healthy .....
