[toecutterr6]

Did "Quartz" cover this song?

[frankietwoshoes1]

Haven't herd this since high school!! We use to lay back and just listen to the whole album!! 72- 74!!

Na tym kształtowała się moja świadomość muzyczna!

[dhoudedrums]

I have the album for so long now...Time past and still a great one....I buy the CD too. Thanx !!!

[whrazithar]

I guess it should be 1971...

We also can't overlook Peter Giles' bass playing. Probably my favorite rhythm section in music.

33 1/3 % OF KING CRIMSON ;THE BEST LP OF THE EARLY 1970'S--PERIOD-- !!!!!!!!

[maxtuar]

Genial!!

[Anglagard1]

I have to think that everybody involved would have been better off had they stayed with King Crimson. This sounds a little like GGF. That is not a bad thing, but it is still not KC.

[Sunchild333]

@Anglagard1 Yeah well Giles could be now known worldwide as one of the best drummers ever, but he always prefered playing as a session musician. Fripp wanted to record Birdman as a King Crimson song though...

[lughlongarm76]

@Sunchild333 Where'd you read that? That's interesting.

[Sunchild333]

@lughlongarm76 Hi there...I was trying to track down where I got the info about that. I can't seem to find it so maybe a friend told me since I've made a lot of contacts with British musicians from those days.

Coxx61. Sono una persona "ancora in vita" di appena 53 anni. All'epoca era possibile che un tredicenne-quindicenne comprasse rock di qualità

[KarliuCar]

where can i found the rest? Yo y mi papá amamos este tema, sobre todo la parte que está al final de este video. My dad and I love this song, specially the part around 9:00 is just amazing (:

[coxx661]

Music like this has reached only a small circle of people by the time it was actual and i like to see that some of these people still alive to bring it out on YT , thanks for that !

The reactions by my kids (21+26) is always interesting when they listen to my old music ,sometimes they like it or they say "what you smocking today ? "

[chenierzmarcgmail]

Very warm thanks to the people that have put this on UTUBE!

[ludidoherty]

BLOODY HELL!

[tspencer103]

Thanks for the flashback. I worked in radio.  Cotillion Records released this on the same day as ELP's first album. What a great week for "underground" radio.

[ElZorroFox1]

@tspencer103 GREAT COMMENT.

[dollyrocker98]

Years ago I wore this album out from playing it so much! Thank you SO much for this!

[scabbarae]

Giles is one hell of a drummer.

[caverscott]

LOVE THIS ALBUM, thanks for uploading it!!!

[valentynesuite]

[Burt472]

[ColleyvilleEcoHouse]

Hey thanks so much for taking the time to post this! It's been years and years!

[valehathar]

best album cover ever

[TheKlaussfabio]

After 30 years ever the best

[gingerb91]

Can you upload the rest of the song for us?

[jmpmusva]

I loved this song and had this album so many years ago. Thanks for putting this on. And thanks to WMUM in souh fl for playing this on air in the 70's

[hedkace]

I remember my father playing the part around 9:00 as a kid and it always stuck with me. Probably the reason why King Crimson, and Yes are two of my alll time favorite bands.

Thanks pops : )

[sirhilambasgivel]

can anyone tell me where i can find `is she waiting` off the same album ?

[maida1982a]

yes, it's on same album (the only album they made)

[sirhilambasgivel]

i know it`s on that album but i can`t seem to finds it on youtube anywhere or anywhere else for that matter

[AppoCC119]

I'll upload it for you.

[ulisesguerr]

best album ever, thanks vaisero

[elephanta2]

Nice sense but it needs more solidity and better ensemble. I think chorus part of this song influenced King Crimson"Islands" and Yes"Close To The Edge".

[21stCentSchizoidFan]

@elephanta2 I think it influenced a whole hell of a lot more than those two songs! haha

[N1970M]

Goog music! We are waiting part 2
