@jeremyspade4159 i think fripp is groving pretty damn hard considering what hes playing a lot of the time! Have you seen the videos with him and his wife? definitely a lot looser and having fun in those 🤣
I loved The Police, but this version of King Crimson is the peak of what was musically possible in the 80s. I'm discovering them 40 years later, and I don't how they weren't the biggest thing in the 80s. I was a kid then, but still, this is so much better than most of the 80s music that gets replayed today.
Fantastic live version of the song. Here are four of the most innovative rock musicians together on stage. Who was ever allowed to experience King Krimson live, was kissed by the muse.
Yes, I was thinking this myself today. They are beyond progressive rock or anything. In musicianship lane they are way above any other band I can think of, except of course Zappa's bands.
@@jamesparr2782 GG is kind of a mix between KC, bit of Yes and lots of ADHD in every song, but I agree with the pal that mentioned Magma. King crimson goes way beyond Prog Rock but Magma is master and king of their own little subgenre (zheul) so check them out pls
Saw this lineup of KC in Toronto, Canada. Whilst awaiting the band to take the stage, I noticed that Bruford's kit had a multitude of Simmons electronic drums, plus his signature snare. Off to the side was a kit that looked like something from a garage band. To my delight, Belew took to that kit for one number and played a duet with the master. I was centre stage, about 10 rows back at CNE Stadium, a football field. I was a Crimson fan from the first album on, but agree with many commenter's that this line-up was the most magical. Tony Levin is an innovator and possibly the world's best rock bassist (among other genres). Belew, a terrific songwriter and electric guitarist whose voice in certain ways evokes John Lennon's. And Fripp....well, he was Fripp. A sublime experience!
this is the only live version I've seen where Adrian's solo really stands out, also where Tony and Adrian come close to nailing the vocal harmony at the end
Without a doubt one of the most unique and awesome bands to ever exist, ESPECIALLY this lineup. Sure the other versions were good too, but these 4 together really did something special.
The ultimate lineup of King Crimson. They make it look easy, but they are all working their asses off. Each guy is a total master of their instruments and craft. The albums that this lineup did together are works of art and musical treasures. The first time I heard this version of KC my mind was blown and was never the same again. It is incredible that they are able to do live what for some groups would not even be doable in the studio and yet match the recordings sound for sound. I am a huge fan of all of these guys individually as well. Compared to them I play at drums and bass., Sadly Dr. Bruford isn't playing much these days but apparently is teaching and has a RU-vid channel well worth looking at.
it's true, but i always felt like they were a bit tired by this point, compared to 1981 or 1982. and it kind of makes sense to me that they broke up soon after... if you compare this to the 1981 or 1982 concerts, it feeles like the earlier performances had chemistry and energy that just isn't here...
@@bojanarezina2352 I saw them on this Three of a Perfect Pair tour, and it was an amazing show. It wasn't a very well attended though, almost no one in the audience. Great for me and my friends--we just moved to perfect seats in the amphitheater. Of course, for a band it would be disappointing to have only a marginally sized crowd; granted it was midweek. But, if they're not putting bottoms into seats it can be a financial disaster, no matter how satisfying it might be creatively. You can play just as hard for a small crowd as you do for a sellout. I suppose if they were having more success on the charts, they may have continued the line up.... Personally, I think they should have.
Robert Fripp mentioned asleepless written by Andrew being unable to sleep in their colonial house they stayed for album recording, frequented by "previous owners" giving him hallucinations and such, rendering unable to sleep.
I knew It was gonna be something like that, like indiscipline that looks really dark but it's actually about a letter from Adrian's wife or something like that
I saw this tour in 1982. Look how young these guys were! I guess I was young once, too... Definitely one of the top 5 most innovative and creative music groups ever.
This was from their spring '84 tour of Japan - I saw the tour 2 months later at Merriweather Post Pavilion - same venue where I saw them 2 years earlier on the 'Beat' tour. Such an amazing band to see & hear live - unlike any other concert experience - back then - or now.
Я вырос на музыке Маэстро Фриппа, для меня тогда было несколько кумиров, это всем известный хардовый триумвират. Но Кримсон отправил меня в другую реальность:)
Robert Fripp. Adrian Belew. Tony Levin. Bill Bruford. Best King Crimson lineup ever. Second best: adding Pete Mastelotto and Trey Gunn, the double trio.
@@HaHaHa-mt8di what, in your opinion, is the best? This is the only lineup i’ve seen in which Fripp smiled while playing, shaking his head at Belew’s antics
This was my favorite also - though the lineup with John Wetton and David Cross was pretty awesome too. I love that they finished off with Red - which is a total classic, took seven years off and then returned with Discipline - which was so different but equally classic.
This was my favorite King Crimson era (apologies to Greg Lake and John Wetton RIP both [their eras were great too]). It was also the one I had the privelege seeing live.
I'm jealous my friend I never saw Greg Lake but I've got to see John wetton with Asia and Carl Palmer just saw Crimson in Philly 2021 just phenomenal there's a live album from that tour check it out greetings from Wildwood New Jersey
The amazing thing is that this was recorded some time 1984- 1985-ish. I saw King Crimson for the second time in 2017 in Red Bank, New Jersey at the Count Basie Theater; this was the bass Tony Levin was playing.
Sleepless es realmente alucinante en todos los sentidos. Belew hace lo que le da la gana con la guitarra o con la voz y encima se lo tuvieron que pasar muy bien con él y las tonterías que debía hacer. Al final de la canción, ni se lo creía con su hooooo 🤔😁 7:11
Lo de Levin no tiene ningun sentido. Te mete una parte de bajo como la de sleepless haciendo un slap loquisimo durante 6 o 7 minutos que dura la canción y ni se despeina (nunca mejor dicho) y de su manejo del stick ya mejor ni hablar
Waiting Man. 19.8.23. 0549am. you can allus discern a king crimson fan... they allus come noseying about the home in the wee hours seeing what yer up to, what yer doin'.. as they break wind in your general direction, placing strategically assigned snails 'look at those colours!!' Outside yer door.... "ooooownleeeee meeeeeee!' zis their constant refrain.
How did I not notice what a fine lookin man Tony Levin was? Probably because my brain was trying to understand the polyrhythmic sounds I was hypnotized by LOL
All I can think of here is the unwanted triggering that could occur due to the SDS5 pads hitting each other as B.B. and A.B. happily tap away on them. Great fun!!
My favourite drummers and I can't pick which is the best: Bill B. Neil Peart Carl Palmer John Bonham Marco Minnemman Gavin Harrison Fucking Danny Carrey ( which sounds like a mixture of all the first above)...
One of my favourite ever albums ever is discipline now can u imagine Oasis trying this haaaaaaaaaa😅I really do despise Oasis now radiohead wud be capable of musical genius which they are what an incredible set of musicians bill bruford there YES are one the greatest musical acts live I wud have loved to see these 4 but I was not familiar with there music back then
