Great! Thank you very much for your audacity and this song in your repertoire! I´m now 47 and didn´t know, that this is possible today. I will show your videos to my son (13 yo), who plays drums and my daughter (11), she plays violin.
I saw this tour at the Santa Monica Civic and I admire that a young band like this can appreciate such good music. It gives me hope for music's future. Rock on!
OK here's the deal....it's a tough song to play. It's a great song. Even UK wasn't able to make it sound too good live. Holdsworth is a monster as is Bruford. You guys absolutely rock and rock hard.
Great attempt at a fantastic song. Well done - keep up the good work. 7 beats in the bar is the perfect beat - but the world seems to have got attuned too much to 4/4 and we never seem to advance much musically as a result. You girls had a great idea to do this song here and it's fantastic that you even knew about this kinda music seeing as it hasn't been cool for so many years! Love it. Love you!
That's pretty cool! I'm pretty sure Neil (from Rush) selects the music to be played on tour before they come on stage, and during intermission, and this is one of the songs that you hear during their current tour. Good job!
Great performace i think. The sound in the recording could have been better but i dont care. As the previos comment "i cant believe you were able or even knew of UK ". I have all records i think and they are great.
a few young girls who were not even born when this band came with this song. I don't care how they sound. I admire the fact that they appeciate good music.
Kudos! While it isn't uncommon, it is rare that a group so young tackle a chart as technical as this one. As a percussionist with a fascination with the forever emotionally difficult Bill Bruford, I charted a strict arrangement of this 7/4 piece shortly after it came out. I was blessed to be associated with a band with whom I'd previously tackled "Roundabout" (& the entirety of Carnevil 9). After 200 hrs of rehearsal, we pulled it off live. I'm proud of you kids for wandering away from the norm
As best I can tell, this song is in 7/4 time (or possibly 7/8). You made my day because (a) you played a UK song, (b) you chose one in multiple meter, and (c) you shunned the simplistic, Top40, life-draining dreck that the marketers and media execs seem to think we want to hear. When this came out in '78, I was in high school and the radio played nothing but KC & the Sunshine Band and Bee Gees, so we had the same problem even then.
I am somewhat not so amazed; from personal experience younger teens HATE rap ,hip-hop and other corporate pre-packaged drek...Music like this and early 80's music is quite popular with the 12 to 18 year old crowd.
I'm glad. I don't want to preach 'old' values to young pple but I think that's a good thing. I was aware there's a lot of musical talent among young pple but not a lot of today's music seems to demand what my generation thought of as virtuosity.
Wow. Great job girls. Keep practicing and playing. Its so wonderful to see young folks like you picking up on the great prog rock from the 70's. Would love to see you start writing new material in this genre. Long live prog-rock!
this is absolutely ridiculous!i was listening to UK when I was 12 and i thought "I" was young to be listening to UK....this was 30 years ago....THESE KIDS PROG-ROCK THE PLANET!!!!!
Well the band had a real hard time staying together, but I have a lot of respect for them, just for trying. Especially for the guitarist, just for trying to play Holdsworth's solo. Though once he started to play his own... well, he's okay, but it wasn't very interesting.. still, respect for trying.
I belive yhis is fuck and good ! I won't compare, because then I will lost the magic ! Don't copare young good talentive musiciens to pro prog ! come one ! Love you guys...Jee-Pee Montreal !
Good job. This piece looks easy to play until you try it. I think the best part was the guitar solo. But, I have yet to find a cover of this piece with the drummer playing it like Bruford, not like Bozzio (big difference). Keep up the good work kids ;)
Finally, there's hope in the world! I saw U.K. in 1978 at the Santa Monica Civic. It's great to see kids today who can appreciate this greatness. Great job...keep it up!
Where did these kids hear this music? I am amazed how the old stuff comes back. When my guitar students force me to relearn the stuff I used to know how to play really well it makes me feel alive again.
1)I meant in THIS video- not the real UK- I don't believe that Eddie's had a sex-change.
2)How about you go have that tatoo removed from your ass that says "my dad was here first" then go make a deposit at the sperm bank if you can keep your mouth closed long enough, homo.
I, of course, was joking. Eddie Jobson is too busy composing dog food commercials to kick out the jams with a bunch of 14 year old girls.
I'd hate to think your response was you at the top of your game. Your hostility and homophobia tell us a lot about you. Your self-loathing, your dark closeted secrets. Don't worry. I won't tell Mommy about those Tom of Finland magazines under your bed.
Hey man , at least these girls brings hopes that there still brings some hopes, the kids CAN hear other kind of music, not the crap we had for the last 15 years ...The vomiting Rap who killed everything ..encourage them instead of criticize, in few years they will playing better , don't you think ?
Holy sh*t!!! This is brilliant!!! Can you imagine if these gals went on "American Idol" and hit them with this?! The judges would be sh*tting bricks!! This is light years ahead of anything that would ever be attempted on that dog-and-pony show!!
My kids are ten and twelve. They have no concept of "current" and listen to everything and anything. Beatles to High school musical and all points in between. They both play whatever they can strum, hit, blow or has a keyboard. I hope they will always keep an open mind and these kids in this video........ Keep it up!
Give the girls some props. I've been playing over 30 years, and can barely touch Bruford's stuff.(By the way, where's the drummer?) They can only get better, and they're pretty good already. Rock on, babies.
I sat and saw all the videos from that rock festival. It's amazing that all the pieces are prog rock. Sure they have flaws, but it's difficult music played by kids and I think it's fantastic! Keep on! I wish there was the same interest in that kind of music here in Greece...
...'kalispera elatha' An aussie greek here. would have thought they'd have had a big following of prog rock in Greece. surprised there's not. Check out Jon Anderson with the school of rock all stars aswell. ...pretty impressive !! Cheers from down under XX
Who care if it is not perfect. I bought UK NIGHT AFTER NIGHT in 79. These kids were not even born yet and know this super rare Prog rock band today. Great performance. Keep it up.
Amazing!! Young kids, especially girls playing King Crimson & UK!!? This is great! I love their energy & dedication...keep it up!! It's nice to seen younger folks carry the prog rock torch & not sell out to the RnB/hip hop sound. Most people forget a lot of the early proggers had serious music training backgrounds, some even classical, like Eddie Jobson of UK.
I am so impressed that these kids actually dig this stuff. When I saw the original it stayed with me all these years. I am so happy to see all the Prog Rock that the SOC is performing!!!!
Are you freaking kidding me! This stuff is so amazing, how do I get my boy signed up for this? I have been watching these videos for an hour now, my band can't get this stuff right and we have been trying since this material was actually written :)
