BBC Prog Rock Britannia (3 of 9)

[nepotiums]

There was a Swedish or prog band who played jazz and fusion from the 60's and 70's. It's here in youtube.

[lionstanding]

2:33....gorgeous, beautifully formed prog breasts frolic in 12/8 time....

[yugoroth1]

When comes 3:35, I'm hooked!

[kfsfkakf]

Phil Collins in Yes :D don't make me hard Prog

[TheMartini1234]

Fripp is a great guitarist, but he sounds like a total nutcase XD

[azarkiowa]

The first King Crimson lineup was untouchable. Absolutely untouchable.

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

The BBC also did a great documentary on Krautrock aka German Prog/Experimental music.

[ozoshah]

all my sympathy to sinfield but i simply dont believe in his story about the "panic'd fripp"

[pillsbur]

Too bad they couldn't get Fripp to be interviewed!

[HRFTG]

"Sure they got smashed and bonked in the open air, and that was just the road crew" LOL

[Chickenlovercamp]

Camel and Small faces weren't mentioned... bleh :'(

[Iwanete]

 what song is at 0:40?

[G4MOF]

@Iwanete Beyond and Before by Y.E.S from the first album ..

[wentkat]

Crimson was indeed the best band in the world! ITCOTCK is a masterpiece!

[greatjob13]

8:52 Cirrus Minor by Pink Floyd... Amazing song.

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

i wonder why frank zappa was never mentioned...

[horsedoctorman]

@turtlliwdnifuoyehthr because it's a documentary on british prog rock - britannia means britain

[DBZmetaldude2]

What if Phil had joined Yes

[dwc311]

@DBZmetaldude2 i heard he could have been in Queen too!

[Nigelxman]

@DBZmetaldude2 What a horrible thought.

[DBZmetaldude2]

@Nigelxman I won't lie, It would be interesting how things would have turned out though, as much as I love Yes

[musicmovie240]

Disregard my last comment, I found out what the song was ("Dharma For One" by Jethro Tull).

[musicmovie240]

Seriously, I want to know what the song is at 2:31! It gets in my head and I want to know who it's by so I can listen to it more. Somebody tell me.

[eliunger16]

they didn't mention supertramp

[dwc311]

2:33 OMG look at that bush!! wowy!

[sebadrum16]

Well,Phil, you would have sure gotten way more credibility than with other career choice

[elpolizei]

Grandma? 2: 33

[vivelavidarocka]

Glad Phil never called Jon for the drummer's gig.

[musicmovie240]

What's the song that starts at 2:31?

[SSJkiller]

Boobies! :D

[eliunger16]

they didn't mention pink floyd in this series

[dwc311]

@eliunger16 lol

[eliunger16]

they didn't mention pink floyd

[ShasoMontyr]

@eliunger16 ----- They did... But barely... Like once or twice to embellish another band

[XanaduMyHome]

The hell was with the naked chicks, LOL

[oleomilani]

You're right, man! I missed camel too!!

[DarksideOFcollages]

Mighty YES

[TheUtubesuxass]

Egg?

[Hyardacil]

@TheUtubesuxass Egg, yes! one of the best bands ever! :P

[TheGreaterGood80]

Hmmmm Phil Collins in Yes.........means in the long run Bruford never would have ended up with the best King Crimson lineup ever and released albums like Red, so I'm going to go with.....no, you should have stayed out of Yes Phil.

Your solo work and Genesis fronting is a whole different story though buddy......BOOOOOOOO

[tinaturntable]

Where's Camel?!

[paperpichu]

This is a Prog Doc. What about Gentle Giant?

[cellardoor199991]

I think Crimson is the FIRST official Prog band. They invented many sounds including the grunge sound, most people won't not admit it.

[Pasalaqcua]

2:31

This clip alone is proof progressive is amazing.

[StealthKiller123]

It's a shame they didn't showcase Crimson some more. The musicianship in that band was other worldly.

[Marillionboy]

Anyone able to tell me what the track is at 7.04?

[Trimbler00]

@Marillionboy Caravan - Ride

[elviss]

Camel were from Guildford, it's a shame they were not mentioned, they started in 1972, maybe a bit late?

[cjgone2]

@elviss

Camel never got the popularity of other prog bands of the time. Like Van der graaf generator and gentle giant.

[SonofMrPeanut]

@cjgone2 I would've liked them to talk about the latter two, at least. I think Gentle Giant was worth at least more than a mere mention by Pete Sinfield.

[LucianoGallagher]

Dude, i'm totally straight, but at 5:00, Lake looks extremely good while singing Schizoid Man...

[Utorak007]

What song is at 1:40? I have all of the yes albums, but cannot find it!

[octomonkey1980]

@Utorak007 It's the live intro to "No opportunity necessary..." on the time and a word album. They went round that sequence a few times before kicking into the bass riff. 

[remnrone]

Have you noticed how few interviews with vocalists there is in this documentary? I mean, you have Gary Brooker, Arthur Brown and some other people, but where is Gabriel, Lake, Anderson or, well, Anderson?

[Trimbler00]

@remnrone ian anderson is in this documentary

[remnrone]

@Trimbler00 yes, i noticed that... bummer... welll, you get my point

[Stube437]

What's Pete Sinfield talking about the music for? He didn't even play an instrument or sing

[popluhv]

Canterbury should have its own documentary

[Thomaspwgy]

What's the Yes song at 1:10??????????

[saurian11]

@Thomaspwgy :"Beyond and Before",,,From the first Yes album "YES" 1969.

[Thomaspwgy]

@saurian11 Oh thanks a lot! I've listened the whole album, but somehow I didn't recognize the song!

Cheers!

[cellardoor199991]

8:50 9:14 is from More the soundtrack that Pink floyd recorded

[pittapitta]

I just loooved how they introduced King Crimson

[gq4101]

HA!! "John, this is the theme to Bonanza!" Man I love that band. YES is brilliant.

[atheistbassist86]

who is the band at 8:20 and the song?

[BrainStillLife]

@atheistbassist86 They're Caravan

[atheistbassist86]

@BrainStillLife Thank you. Do you know the name of the song?

[BrainStillLife]

@atheistbassist86 Magic Man from the album "Caravan"

[dharmaseed]

Where's Gentle Giant?

[imperialpod]

@dharmaseed

I don't think GG are British are they?

[dharmaseed]

@imperialpod Technically they were Scottish, but both Ray Shulman and Kerry MInnear attended the Royal Academy of Music.

[imperialpod]

@dharmaseed

Ah ok, cheers for info.

[kfsfkakf]

where has good music like this gone 

[BitterBosh]

King Crimson may well be the greatest band ever. :)

[cooliovasquez]

@BitterBosh hell yeah, thats the only reason im really watching this

[1994AlmostSkater]

What's the song at 1:10 ????????

[HawkwindMaster]

No mention of Gong..?

[imperialpod]

@HawkwindMaster

Gong are technically Australian/French.

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

good god at 2:51!

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

@ElFlakoRompanTodo ahh, life is full of beatyfulness....

[Jcharly2]

whats the song of king crimson? at 5:19?

[Wiaszczurka]

@Jcharly2 It's "21st century schizoid man" from their first album "In the court of the crimson king". Great song, great album.

[climohu]

good lord.. how can van der graaf not even be mentioned?

[tacosychelas]

at 8:55 he says several names, are they bands? and if so, could you please write them down? Im trying to learn about music, thanks

[tacosychelas]

whats the song at 3:37? thnks a lot! desperate to find out =)

[boogiexx]

@tacosychelas

band: king crimson

album : In the Court of the Crimson King

song : The Court of the Crimson King

[tacosychelas]

@boogiexx tanks a lot man, you're ace

[bernich88]

Van Der Graff are missing D:  . I recommend everyone to listen Pawn Hearts =). My favorite record

[biotonk]

@bernich88 I would recommend starting with "At Least We Can Do" then "H to He" then "Pawn Hearts" . Go for the whole trilogy !

[bernich88]

@biotonk Youre right =). it may be easier for a lot of people to start that way with VDGG. But since i like INTENSITY i love pawn hearts ^^.

[biotonk]

@bernich88 Yea ... pawn Hearts was my first Van Der Graaf record and I remember being blown away. Had I started with "least" it may not have had the same impact .

[bernich88]

@biotonk It was my first too =). I could not believe my ears it was like music from another dimension and i couldnt believe music like that existed :D

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

2:32  Mom?!?

[metalheadnick555]

Its wierd how different Yes sounded between 1969 and, say, 1973 or 1974

[CagliosthroAD]

what song is that at 7:00?

[CagliosthroAD]

@CagliosthroAD caravan - ride

[Dannymusic1999]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, YES!

[DrAnthraxxx]

They didn't mention great Canterbury band - CAMEL!

[eddiemperor]

@DrAnthraxxx U said it brother.

[TheUtubesuxass]

@DrAnthraxxx Camel are in this series of programs.

[human20freedom]

[AllxJules]

[human20freedom]

[MRTOMSK1]

@human20freedom DUCK !

[Ponimaju]

well, let's, like, make one up ourselves

[artj22850]

Wow, love Procal Harem and love hearing how they got started. I recently bought their album on CD; have plenty of their LP's. They are still amazing to me! "The Court of the Crimson Queen" is classic!
