  • Thank you for posting the whole OGWT segment!

  • gracias, increible, cuando un DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! de esta increíble banda

    John, Terry, Eddie, gracias por la musica

    Saludos 

  • She's so British !

  • Merçi pour ce rare document sur UK l'un des plus grand groupe de progressive. Leurs compos sont fabuleuses. Quelle dommage deux albums studio seulement. Belle prestation live, vraiment. Jobson excellent violoniste !

    Great ;-) Thanks wetton82

  • no se, no se, el niño Bozzio nunca me ha convencido. Con zappa era histrionico, aqui parece que le han metido una guindilla por el culo. Me gusta mucho más Bruford, su ritmica es solida y consistente y todo lo hace sin esfuerzo aparente. Es otra cosa. Por el resto UK es un conjuntazo.

  • I still have to find a group that could top UK.

  • I went to see Eddie Jobson in LA June 2010. This song still sounds ahead of it's time; nothing comes close to being as amazing as Eddie's violin.

  • This is an awesome performer and the girl at the begining makes nice comments.

  • So far ahead of their time! I saw them in Houston, in 1978, at the U of H campus...I was blown away!...and if I remember right, Eric Johnson opened the show.

  • So far ahead of their time! I saw them in Houston, in 1978, at the U of H campus...I was blown away!

  • Amazing - I just find John Wetton fantastic.......

  • Fantastic archive - so good to see. Absolutely the best band that ever existed. Where are the 3 of them now? Will they ever re-form? John playing complicated bass and singing great vocal at the same time; Terry singing and drumming at the same time - and Eddie with that violin playing. And what do we have to put up with today - things like X factor and non-musicians like Simon Cowell. Bring back the great music of the seventies.

  • @EmmaJonesLondon Oh, wow. They are all pretty active- John is singing and playing bass in the reformed Asia, Eddie has his own label and a dark new band called UZ, Terry records all the time- he put some marvelous trio records with Tony Levin & Steve Stevens about ten years ago, and did session work with Korn recently. I wish they would tour again- real nice blend.

  • excellent!!!

  • how bout jobsen, virtuoso on keyboard and violin!

  • guda gamla tiden ;) "..feel like I'm loosing my mind.."

  • Simply A.W.E.S.O.M.E...Eddie Jobson was a master on the electric violin.

  • 最高だ!!

  • great footage.......does anybody know if there's vintage live footage of the band. thanks

  • OMG - Amazing - Thank you so much!

  • @Yarsh52 Bozzio took UK to a whole new level. Bruford was becoming nothing new at that point.

  • @cheezruff Well, I still really enjoy and respect both drummers, but I just prefer the 4 piece line up. I still listen to the 3 piece line up a lot though too.

  • i Saw the first line up for$0.98 cents in 1978..Boath versions are great.. the firt work is a bit more improv Jazz  in the Guitar..the TRIO has much more of a ROCK Edge to the sound.. I like boath for what each had to offer..You can't say one is better than the other..It comes down to what do you want to hear

  • Bozzio with the roto's and Tama combo! Best of all time.

  • One of the coolest trio's ever.

  • BRITAINS GOT TALENT?

    With performing parrot , they could make it in the music biz!

  • Bozio kicks ass! Fucking aye!

  • I remember watching this on the Whistle Test. It was the first time I had heard them and I was totally blown away. Night After Night is for me one of the truly great live albums, that line-up at their peak.

  • what the hell kind of effects is eddie using on violin?

  • The last progressive rock group of the 70's, the live album is excellent as are the two studio efforts. You can see what Wetton was aiming for here when he went on to Asia.

  • Thanks!

  • John Wetton did an excellent acoustic gig at my local theatre.Having a drink with him in the bar later,I had so much to talk to him about all the great bands he'd been in but we ended up just imitating characters from the "fast show"(yew 'avnt seen me....awright?) ect.

  • UK were a trio??....and, they didn't have a guitarist either??....man, I didn't know. Anyway, they played great here. Progressive, folk rock at it's finest!...had never seen Wetton with a beard before until watching this clip...he looks young, too....maybe 30 years old tops....Eddie Jobson looks like Cy Curnin of The Fixx....man, what a time!....1979!!!

  • The original group was a quartet, featuring Wetton, Jobson, Bill Bruford on drums and Allan Holdsworth on guitar. That lasted for one album and one tour. This is the second line-up.

  • What Up!!!!?????

    This is really good.

    The audio is sort of muffled but, if you have a good ear, you can hear that Bozzio is carrying the whole thing during Caesar's Palace Blues.

    I think I am going to buy UK Danger Money on CD (if I can find it).

  • I do not agree with your appreciation of John Wetton's talent. He is extremely talented in my opinion, one of my favorites, together with Eric Woolson of The Alan Parsons Project. And ASIA is one of the best bands of all time. Their first two albums are exceptionally good, in my opinion.

  • Rivoglio sto discooooooo!!!!

    Grandiosi!!!!!

  • I remember UK's spectacular debut.

    They let the fresh breeze enter a bit

    weary art-rock scene at the time.

    In a flash time they made tens of

    fans behind the Iron Curtain in late 1970.

  • I saw them open for Jethro Tull in 79.........

    Priceless!!!!!

  • Great!

    How did they look like?

  • They looked and sounded great just like the video!

    And knowing that Jethro Tull was still on the way was pretty freaking awesome.

    Great double bill !!!!

  • I too was at that show and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, to this day. Eddie is an incredible keyboardist but Terry Bozzio just floored me. Especially on Rendevous 6:02

  • @wetton82

    John W. didn't have the buffalo face then..

    I saw the Bruford/Holdsworth line-up at the Uptown Theatre in Milwaukee-2nd row for 97 cents. WLPX, yeah buddy...

  • @MADMAXDANIELS

    Me too Max ...Long Beach Arena

  • @MADMAXDANIELS damn

  • @MADMAXDANIELS I was introduced to UK at the Jethro Tull concert in Miami, I guess it was '79, got the cassette of Danger Money in miami, then moved to LA and found a $4.99 vinyl copy of the first album UK. The Danger Money cassette broke, but I still have the album.

  • @MADMAXDANIELS  I recorded U.K. opening for Tull at Madison Square Garden 1978. 3rd row in front.

  • @SandSpock33

    3rd row, not to horrible ! I was at a higher altitude , but it was still a religous experience !

    My favorite double bill I had ever attended (i think) !

  • @MADMAXDANIELS

    I sat right behind the bands at the LA Forum in 79. In the loge on the railing. Best vantage point to watch 2 of rocks greatest drummers. Barrymore Barlow and Terry Bozzio. Absolute MAGIC! Never be a time like that again.

    In the top 5 concerts I've had the pleasure to witness. And I've seen some of the best. Walked in just as Alaska/Time To Kill was starting and the whole place was vibrating from Jobsons keyboard. Fog was rolling, purple and green lights....awesome!

  • @MADMAXDANIELS

    They blew Tull off the stage. After that set, Tull really sounded as if they were mailing it in.

    I was lucky to have seen both UK tours.

  • edwin is shredding!

  • A true treasure!

  • Prog's last dying gasp....and quite a swansong. But you can hear Whetton's prog-pop writing style starting to surface here, eventually coming to full-fruition in (gasp) Asia. Ponder how the Mighty had fallen....but he'd more than paid his prog dues, so why not start making some real money and be able to eat steak rather than burgers? Nice organ work from Jobson, and Bozzio is at his best here, like Bruford on steroids.

  • Once upon a time, music was made by real musicians. This video shows what I'm talking about.

    Thanks a lot for posting this. A true classic.

  • No wonder Annie fluffs her intro, I wudnt have been able to speak.. :)

  • Terry Bozzio was 18 when he played with

    Zappa, so in this video he's in his early

    20's, i'd say 25 max. !!!

  • he was not 18 when he played with zappa, more like 26 or 27.

  • Jobson did not buy his Hammond from Wakeman. He purchased it from a company called Pro-Co in Kalamazoo Michigan. I'm not sure where the "Wakeman Hammond" myth started but it is just that. Source: Keyboard Magazine interview

  • The myth comes from people who think that Rick Wakeman was the only guy with a B3.

  • somebody knows how old was terry b. in this video?

  • As he was born in 1950 and this would be 79 or 80, I'd say 30.

  • night after nightが聴けるのは、全世界でここだけです。本当に、感謝し­ます。

  • sorprendente y maravilloso video, los tres hacen una musica brutal, y no se extrana la virtuosidad de bruford and holdsworth, aunque brufords en su libro autografico, nos indique que jobson y wetton son solo craftsmen, son los mejores artesanos que existen.

  • Wow - they don't make hem like this anymore! Amazing all of them... Terry's killing on drums, John's vocal and bass tone are great and Big-Job rips on the violin.

  • Man, Bozzio and Jobson are on fire here!!

  • epic

  • the best compostirions of the second uk album where done with bruford and holdworth, they did not recordit in studio.

    including, danger money, the only thing she needs, and carrying no cross

  • This is what i call a power Trio. Man, this rocks!!!!

  • enough of the music theory, this is just a delight to watch... thanks for posting

  • They are very different in style, but the sound for their self titled album and the three tracks on the Danger Money album with the 4 of them sound more full in my opinion. I do really enjoy all UK and even with the trio, they still sound virtually the same. I just think something seems to be missing a little bit. I guess it is Holdsworth's guitar really. Its a shame they didn't stay together longer because they sure were an awesome band! Actually, I've listened to Danger Money more.

  • That was friggin' EPIC!!

  • I guess bozio only toured with 5% of his kit in these days.

  • John's voice just sounds so good. Bozzio is amazing of course. And Eddie is simply a Godsend - I miss all the keyboard racks too! It's just not right these days with one keyboard and a laptop!

  • whew, Wetton has been in some mighty lofty places. Saw both incarnations of this band, both great shows, but the 1st with Bill Bruford and Alan Holdsworth was a prog fan wet dream. Especially since a yet unkown Eric Johnston opened the show, his 1st time on a big stage, he gave it EVERYTHING, ....wont be forgetting that night.

  • @tobycat11 one of the greatest regrets of my life i never saw UK live, I just thought they'd be around forever they were so great, so i put it off

  • @seasider1962 me too,... but i did see holdsworth a couple times and bruford also

  • @tobycat11 You are one lucky MF'r :) The first UK lineup was amazing (All due respect to Terry) and EJ...well what can I say?

  • ease down there, prog-freak....just breathe....

  • well, i just listened to ceasar's. I never saw them live. It was so cool to see eddie on the glass violin. That thing is totally amazing. Unlike anything I've ever heard

  • put bruford on the drums and add Alan on guitar and this song would've been unbelievable.

  • Man, this is awesome! My dad showed this to me a few weeks ago and it is just so amazing.

  • Eddie Jobson..WOW..!!!!Right on the Money..This Music is Non-existent

  • I followed U.K...Bruford..Bozzio......The Acadamy of Music New York...They were Great.... ...Damn they were Good.. HELP !!

  • I miss the first 16-bar section of the introduction that is found in the album version.

    I wonder why they didn't play that section live (as long as I know).

    Terry Bozzio's drumming there is superb.

  • Agreed 100%.

    It is clear that Wetton was pushing for more of a Pop-Prog sound and feel which came to pass with Asia.

  • It's a shame they skipped over verse 2 of NAN

  • John is great, also with this beard!

  • This is "Night After Night", not "Caesar's Palace Blues"....still, whatever the song, UK rocked!

  • There's two songs played here.

  • LOVE THIS SHIT!

    Bozzio hits that shit like there IS NO TOMORROW!!!

    so good

  • four that is.....

  • I saw them in Puerto Rico back in 1979.

    That is some mean violin playing.

    ...fur more days for the UKZ show in NYC...

  • The Ibanez Roadster Mr Wetton is playing sounds greeeeat through those Marshall heads....

  • Indeed!

  • Thanks, I've got their CDs but never seen any video of them before. Was this recorded with a camera pointing to the tv set?

  • excelente lo mejor

  • Terry is on fucking FIRE!

  • bill's playing is far better than terry's sit in with uk

  • like I said this group is AWESOME, what I hate and not hating is the attitude of some frackos around here when they try to fix sound issues...STOP PLAYING WITH NOISE REDUCTOR MATE, your spoiling the moment!

  • Wonderful musicians und memories...

  • いい曲だ!

  • This is a jewel!!!

  • Do these guys know 'Freebird'?

  • that's a good one!

  • Thank you SO much for this. Incredible stuff.

  • I love UK like no other

    

  • Thankyou sir! Saw UK Danger Money tour in Edmonton Canada a thousand years ago... still one of my favourite bands to this day. Incredible band live- reproducing studio quality playing/vocals... very rare, especially in those days.

  • Yes sir, AWESOME. THIS IS/WAS A GREAT BAND. I wish there were more live releases (other than Night After Night). Night After Night was a bit too polished sounding.

    Thanks for posting this video!!! If you more... up 'em please!!!

  • Cool, I've never seen a video of U.K. Great stuff.

  • holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy god

  • Yet another belter wetton82. This U.K. stuff is fantastic, regardless of the sound quality etc. Hairs on the back of the neck, tears of joy. Well Found.
