King Crimson - The Deception Of The Thrush

[sodimite]

I would like to see King Crimson and Dead Can Dance play together......This is great! This will be a sound track to a great movie one day........

[MultiFlacker]

Are they using a talk(heil) box for the bass-voice sound?

[r4ch4el]

nu somme du soleil @ 7:05

[TheManOfLead]

@r4ch4el I don't know if it was intentional, but holy SHIT good catch!!

[PurvisChallenmoigne]

what a great track

[kosephdrums]

this is amazing o__O

[TheNoQuater]

ARTprog.

[continuum288]

Fripp is the guy! Jake_144

[MacarenaWallenstein]

Treeeeeeey!!!!!

[SilentWingsOfFreedom]

All hail the Crimson King!

[0zzy07]

the bass guitarist wore his pajamas for the concert, now that is original!

[dannyhood66]

Please, can someone tell me what album this track is from? Is it from 2003? I mean i could look it up wiki,

But i need it right now while im on this page, Like money mom n dad saved for college, Yeah mom, dad that sounds really cool, School is good. But is it okay if i have the money right now..?

[simensiak]

chapter 1: lightings. chapter 2: angry tempest. chapter 3: balmy rain in the night.

[TheLowdownbrown]

there is more creativity, talent, and unbridled emotion in the last 3 minutes of this song than in an entire months worth of pop radio and "music" television combined.

[dannyhood66]

@TheLowdownbrown Indeed! Exactly! Consider its hexagonal octagonal strange orbitalways, There have been none like him on album or radio since early mid 70 latest 

[topherdrum]

The text that Trey Gunn is triggering is "Wasteland" by t.s. eliot. It was written as a response to WW I. In thinking about the arc of this performance, it feels very much like the calm before the storm of war... then the brutality of the war itself... and the the eventual calm that comes after that kind of destruction. Such a profound piece from this DVD performance (the Japan 2003 show off of Eyes Wide Open).

[drewper73]

I've been wondering this since the Thrak album. How does someone go from playing drums in a band like Mr. Mister to playing drums with a band like King Crimson? When I bought Thrak and opened and saw Pat's name I was very surprised b/c I knew who he was and who he played with. Oh well, more power to him.

[spitfire71068]

@drewper73 Mr. Mister were a much better band than you perhaps are giving them credit for. They had a pop side to them, but there were some interesting moments w. them as well.

[drewper73]

@spitfire71068 Can u recommend any particular songs that might be on youtube? I liked their commercial stuff, but it was so synth-heavy and not necessarily in a good way. I figured Mastellato had to be an exceptional drummer to make it in a band like King Crimson, so I'm open to any songs you can recommend. Thanks.

[spitfire71068]

@drewper73 "Is It Love" has a tricky middle section that's interesting for a pop band. I mean...it's not Crimson, and it sounds positively dated (thin chorused guitar, dated synth sounds, etc.), but it does show thought. I actually saw them back in the 80's...they were good. There was no doubt they were serious musicians with serious compositional abilities. It's just that it was very pop.

[drewper73]

@spitfire71068 Cool. Thanks. I'll check that one out.

[dogstarmusic]

The best part was right at the beginning, before they started playing. Ha! Just kidding! Sort of.

[SIGMOID5]

This would bring a dead person back to life.

[TheArabassist]

this is mad. which album is this from?

[hannegem]

@TheArabassist There are actually three that come to my mind: "The ProjeKcts", "Heavy ConstruKction" and "Level Five".

[DerrickthePinecone]

The drummer is amazing...

[guysapire]

How is he doing that vocals with the Warr Guitar?

It sounds something like an Electro-Harmonix Iron Lung, but he doesn't have a mic...

[gazbostuart]

@guysapire The Warr guitar has MIDI triggers so you can pretty much make any sound come out of it depending on how you configure it.

[deltadelorinoco1]

Q VAINA TAN ARRECHA Y TAN HIJUEE....

[BLooDCoMPleX]

Where is Belew?

[cosmicrider287]

the mother of all bands.

[eddievhfan1984]

@ibetteru2 Well, RF considers himself retired from touring (short explanation is that it's no longer worth it to him, in many ways), but hey, it's not all hopeless.

[elSargent93]

anyone know whether fripp be using standard tuning?

[eddievhfan1984]

@elSargent93 No, he uses NST/Guitar Craft Tuning-CGDAEG.

[rogelioteo]

piel de gallina!

[MrsClippit]

Black Sabbath and King Crimson were the first metal bands I ever saw when I was a kid.. I was 13. I have loved metal ever since... (drove my parents nuts but whatever lol)

[yaboop]

Man... he sure hits those drums hard!!!

[radiotrib]

Intersting ... last time I heard KC it was in the Crimson King days .... Gotta love Fripp

[kalungarocker]

I repeat what I said before: There's no label to define the beatiful and strange music of KING CRIMSON!!

[craigalan100]

@kalungarocker your right...as close as it comes would be "pure stream of consciousness artistry "

[jonesaljones]

whoever said that drummers were lazy and moronic....eat your hat

[biusKOCH]

Surely one of the best live recording of KC!!!! ((-: Awesome!!!!

[georgeford54]

Music has many forms. If you enjoy this, as I do, stay here. If you do not enjoy this, move on - but keep the negative comments and name calling to yourself. No one is forcing you to listen.

[ALanSaidTrujillo]

wow, thankyou for uploading

[comaunite]

they're great, only thing I can't wrap my mind around is the pretty aggressive changes in rhythm and music itself when they go from one part of the song to another.

[tjack10]

I totally got lost in this video! Thanks for posting!

[Thesagga]

FRIPP MANDA A LA CHUCHA A TODOS ESOS GUITARRISTAS WEONES QUE LE DAN COLOR PORQUE TIENEN TECNICA PERO TOCAN PURAS WEAS, QUE LE DAN COLOR CON SUS SOLOS DE MARICA Y WEAS, GRANDE FRIPP !

[AliasLittleBoy]

They've become an overly staged and uninspiring band, relying on tricks of the trade. No points. Almost like watching a copycat crime.

[BenBistro004]

@AliasLittleBoy You obviously have no idea what real music sounds like...

[mikey8883]

@BenBistro004 Maybe, but let's keep the positive energy flowing please... - MTM

[srumbledor]

Best of British jazz rock to all you ieadiah ponsers

[DonatiStudent]

Hello everyone.

I'm here to talk about the existence of a brand new musical experience called Idaea. The influence ranges from Planet X, Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Chick Corea to Contemporany and Experimental music. It would be really cool if you visited our myspace and added coments, thoughts and opinions!:

/idaeaband

Thanks for the time! Stay tuned for more!

Facundo Negri - Idaea´s drummer

[bloggulator]

Absolutely extraordinary. Stunning.

[Adoniram1986]

Stick players name please.

[aakkoin]

@Adoniram1986 Trey Gunn

[Jobotubular]

@Adoniram1986 Trey Gunn plays the Warr guitar, a touch instrument as you can see, playable either worn or flat. This song is a perfect showcase for it

[psaionyx]

@Jobotubular givven the right effects any stringed instrument can be played like this

[ironland75]

PF at top of their inspiration.

IMO very underratted song, it is indeed a little masterpiece of rock, electonic and sperimentation.

[chapelsixty]

Seriousally,i didn't know this band before,i'm a Dream Theater Fan,and when i heard that one of their (Dream Theater) biggest inflences was King Crimson i find my self here,watching hearing and discovering This Great and Underrated Band (King Crimson) and they are simply Unbelievable.

[MrFoxyFoxy59]

This is simply IMMENSE. This is the first time I've ever heard of King Crimson even, let alone heard their music. And the only thing I'm thinking is, WHY WASN'T I INTRODUCED TO THESE BEFORE!?

[veryintricated]

I remember being so into this and frances the mute, until tool came into my life, now I have found Porcupine tree and wonder if it can get any better then this.

[Harma76]

Who is this one idiot who have disliked this???? This is magnificent...

[ozzologayo]

Incantevole ^_^

[HumanGuitarist]

This is so beautiful. Makes me realize how little of a musician I really am. The one dislike is a Brittany Spears lover lol

[Grahamx227]

What Live Album is this part of?

[ahitler1000]

this is perfect car building music here in Roswell New Mexico, dec22nd 2010 and Im in my garage, see mad max on facebook where Im russell bradford banks

[ahitler1000]

@theawakener7 lol.

[brambau]

The Trey Gunn solo is nicely played and melodic but the melodic ideas are are obvious nearing cliched. The backdrop sounds synthy and new age. The problem with some of this new Crimson stuff is that it needs some input from guest or added players who play acoustic instruments with a classical sound (or jazz) , like violin, flute, oboe, cello, trumpet, vibraphone, sax. Right now it's too technology sounding. It needs that other input to balance it out.

[blackmax2323]

One of the loveliest Gunn solos they've ever recorded. Magnificent.

[ohmygodwegotleo]

4:39 to the end : )

[DanielLBaez]

Would love to experience this live! Wow

[puppyald]

This messes with my mind. It's great, but damn its a mindfuck! lol

[mmarkc]

What a masterpiece!!!!

[hansmoerenhout]

One of the best things ever made. When I first looked the dvd I coudln´t believe it, had to play it again and again. The strange emptiness at the start, the explosion in the middle and the encredible harmonic end...sooo beautiful. It touches me deeply. King Crimson at it´s best. Fripp, Gunn, Mastelotto, Belew, thank you for making this music.

[JupiterIsland91]

@hansmoerenhout whats the name of the dvd?

[hansmoerenhout]

@JupiterIsland91 It´s from the brilliant live dvd `eyes wide open`, one of the best registrated live performances of KC ever in my opinion!

[ahitler1000]

@hansmoerenhout music gods have been good to us , . . . blessing us with such brilliance , . . . your right , its a theater of sound , a, . . . soundscape on a upper level, very carefully assembled , . . . I feel lucky to have this , and the posters and you tube , enabling my 735 watt system in my custom shop where I build upper level rods , from Roswell Nerw Mexico russell the wizzard on myspace jan 7th 2011

[youfilin]

@hansmoerenhout pal, i have to say that any version of TDOTT is beautyful. It has very powerful roots inside and make me listen it over and over again. I'm so glad that ain't only one who like the piece so much!

[larkstoungeinaspic]

@hansmoerenhout

Check out Live in Tokyo 1995. Even better, I think.



[martos692]

Excellent ! Robert Fripp est un des derniers grands noms de la musique encore en vie. Malheureusement peu connu et c'est extrêmement dommage. Cela nous change des titres aseptisés et sans identité calibrés pour la radio...

[rexasul]

Pat Mastelotto looks a bit terrifying when he uses the double kick. 

[mechanussunrise]

"Deception of the thrush" is from T.S. Eliot's poem Burnt Norton "Other echoes

Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?

Quick, said the bird, find them, find them,

Round the corner. Through the first gate,

Into our first world, shall we follow

The deception of the thrush?"

[ahitler1000]

like the man said , "art" . . . fripp was stellar as well the complete band, love the timing breaks and layers to this fine overture,

[Estigmaprogresivo]

Algún lugar lejano del universo transformado en música..

[jotaceization]

this is art!!!!!!

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

This has got to be the best KC piece of music ever! 21st Century Schizoid Man, mi culo!!!

[ytsejam91]

No hay palabras para lo que te hace sentir king crimson,....al escucharlos es como si te transportaran a otro mundo

[tohu777]

The voice is T.S. Eliot's reading of The Wasteland...I've seen this live and on video, before, but only now noticed!

[kavalea]

@tohu777 This what i'd recognized

Son of man

You cannot say or guess

No water

Only there is shadow under this red rock

I was neither living nor dead and I knew nothing

[ahitler1000]

@kavalea great words of wisdom

[robmanic44]

@kavalea This is from T. S. Eliot's "The Wasteland." Read it. It will scare the hell out of you.

[thenazcalines]

@kavalea at 2:12, re Madame Sosostris, "Famous clairvoyante / Had a bad cold"

[zalamandantoise]

Thanks for uploading this. Been one of my favs, but never saw the video.

[Corilo91]

That's... Awesome! King Crimson are the best. :)

[StarlessL5]

That's *Thrush*, as in the bird :)

[FritzlRules]

Absoluto.
