King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair -live-(1984)

[bergerdrum]

I love how Belew imitates Levin's voice on the chorus echoes. I wish the video hadn't been turned all psychedelic, but the music speaks for itself anyway.

[piliage]

Yep. This is what real musicians used to be able to do live, and make look easy. It is amazing how fresh this still sounds today, 30 years later. Truly frighting musicianship and talent at their collective peak.

[quinogracci]

King Crimson son músicos muy bien formados, con un discurso musical personal y contundente.

[errtrainer]

dedicado a freud.

[NacPop66]

Impresionante!! El mejor Crimson

[FLAVIOFLASH10]

A melhor banda de rock progressivo de todos os tempos, três em um par perfeito, bom.

[TheRealQuester]

Damn....this is LIVE!

[CANIMALEDETTI]

super 80s effects

[JeffreyMulac8]

Perhaps the most long-lived and creative rock bands of all time. I love all of their lineups, all the way back to Greg Lake, and up to Gavin Harrison playing in the Crimson Project. Robert Fripp has always been a genius. Never sold out, ever, always trying new types of music-metal, prog. ballads

[LanceHelmut]

3 very different versions of k.c.... the percussive element and chapman stick DRIVE in this version is irresistible ...the other 2 versions are more cerebral ..thank god i have 'em all....i must not be a fallen angel.

[vivelavidarocka]

I still can't figure why some fans hate this line up. IMO one of the best. LONG LIFE TO THE KING!!

And with Math Rock we'll have this Crimson sound for at least another decade.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

always great to hear great interplay among great musicians, and thse four guys are all masters of their trade. Period.

[76alembic]

great guitar solo,so original!

[MrThegodhimself]

The intro seems so familiar, ....

and now the Muse comes in the town 

[porksnipper]

There are no others above the KING(CRIMSON that is)

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

their smooth movement between bridges in this song and the guitar interplay between Fripp and Belew is absolutely perfect.

[DrRussPhd]

Pound for pound one of THE most talented bands ever . . .and not really played on commercial radio! Why? Because mediocrity sells BIG! and Crim was miles from mediocre.

[Exiles800]

They used to play this at night with my headphones on on WFUV in New York.

[rianadkinsonmusic]

Belew's Voice is beyond great on this one ! this song is fuckin brilliant 

[BackLooking]

Amazing band, amazing individuals, amazing sound, amazing song. Bill Bruford is my biggest influence on the drums and Tony Levin is ..... just th best bass player I have ever heard and continuously listened to.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

three musicians who blend well together, keep in mind this is live recording, just listen how tight their sound is!!!! Adrian a master of techno guitar, Robert Fripp a great rythm player, and Toni Levin on bass and keys is fabulous. No wonder Peter Gabriel had him play for him for years!!!

[ForAllDebts]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO umm... make that four musicians...

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@ForAllDebts my bad, forgot the drummer, but the primary 3 are Tony, Robert and Adrian

[ForAllDebts]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO "The drummer"?? I'm not having that. Bill Bruford was easily as important to KC as the rest, and is just as unique and influential a musician as Fripp or Belew.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@ForAllDebts was not aware that was Bill Bruford, did not really recognize him, but yes you are right, my bad again, lol!

[tapkae]

@ForAllDebts I'd even say that BB was THE drummer in the band, and maybe the most innovative. Not to say the best for all jobs, but with his presence, both the musical parts and the sonic colors were pushed into new territories, not to mention his general precision for navigating such challenging things as they put together in this era. Guys before him were good drumset players in a jazz influenced way, and PM clever but a bit derivative. BB really defined KC drumming.

[scottus1955]

so syncopated... awesome tune..masterful.

[ArqJoseMaldonado]

Between The Buried and Me made a cover for this song..!

It is also great

[worthmoremusic]

delicious...

[alvarbuenfil]

magestuosos simplemente increible

[newfuckingwave]

adrian belew looks a bit like brian eno. and sings like david byrne. and has worked with both of them. at the same time. PHUCK

[reemanmusic]

yeah, the stick element makes it complete in and of itself... then adding the genius upon genius.. . layers of genius and groovy electro-afro-poly-rhythmo-psyc­hedelia ice cream cone shop fire

[reemanmusic]

wow... I'm spinning in the beauty

[kwells1208]

@reemanmusic

word! Tony Levin playing a Stick...Amazing.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

can't say enough how much of a creative genius Adrien Beleuw is, and how good a bass player Tony Levin is

[TheNuncFluens]

gods.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

today's music needs more artists like these guys, who are serious about what the music sounds like, and not whether it fits into the small narrow minds of today's general music buying audience who will listen to anything, case in point, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, etc.........

[ACTUEL1]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO I agree, music is an art that sould be respected

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

tony levin and adrien beleuw, two great artists!!!!!

[neuromon]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO

you're right of course- they are wonderful, as are Fripp, and especially Bill Bruford. slight niggle- it's Adrian Belew- the master deserves at least a proper spelling :-)

[shpilk]

nice video treatment ..

[videostan]

I love the color film treatment...creative and color rhythmic, I say!

[videostan]

The joy and skill of their playing during this period caused me to reject the sparse unimaginative, brittle The Construkction of Light

[07orion]

my girlfriend hates this song :/ maybe because i had it as my ringtone for too long

[twtomwood123]

four of a perfect three of a perfect pair! :)

[elviejoalado]

wow 1984 special video fx......xD

[piliage]

So so so so good. Nearly 30 years old, and as groundbreaking and fresh today as when it was released. Simply Brilliant.

[MARI007100]

hoy en el cumple de su baterista BILL BRUFORD esta de mis rolas favoritas de Krimson Dioses punto..

[velapuerk]
