U.K. - Caesar's Palace Blues

[1stSaintsFan]

Best Bass Players I have seen live...Stanley Clarke, John Entwistle, Chris Squire and John Wetton when he was in Uriah Heep..

[talstory]

can't see the 'old greys' whistling that one!

[mbrewzer]

They were great in concert! You tube is great!

[kontolek]

U.K. jakiś zapomniany... niesłusznie !! :)

[randylopezcarrasco]

excellent musicians!

[MrChrisSlade]

Video quality a bit rough, but the song really hits the spot!

[jax1moi8]

Amazing!

[shuttledik]

Fuckin' classic!

[mrdfac]

I LOVE Youtube!

[ePhilosopher9]

What are the first words of this song? Clean napkins? Green napkins? Am I the only one to make the connection between Frank Zappa's Black Napkins featuring Jobson? >> /watch?v=Jl2jRNpt11Y << Black napkins at Thanksgiving help a muffin look better!

[AAI280665]

@ePhilosopher9 Creamed-up kitten screaming for her next injection ...

[westrokker]

this song gets me fired up! need to get out album and crank it up so all neighbors can hear

[unstabledavid]

freakin great band...bozio shows why korn wanted him to drum for them 25 years later

[Verbow]

Dang it - the best part of this song is when Bozzio shreds on the intro and they cut it out of this version. BUMMER!

[boibad12]

name of song?

[mc2NY]

Great band. Saw them live with Bruford and Holdsworth, I think. Wetton is one of my favorite bassists..and singers. Was always a plus in King Crimson.

[ePhilosopher9]

Still love this song, BP oil spill 2010.

Eternally Yours,

Down In Louisiana

[NinjaVsPredator]

man only three guys behind this massive sound - a revelation

[westrokker]

i wish there was a better quality video of this song

[DAVYMATHEWS1]

have the album for over 20 years now

still play it quite often

does the band still exist??

[johnmc2k]

@DAVYMATHEWS1 only lasted 3 years :/

[scoobes11]

Great band but please lose the violin!

[beatsdddx]

wow he's killing that violin gr8 music

[keesvangelis]

i saw them live and..... amazing!!!!!!

[westrokker]

@keesvangelis i never did, wish i had, I did see holdswoth a couple times though, and bill bruford

[uk1885]

amen...

[visog]

Incredible - beautiful violin playing - what talented musicians... a joy!

[boongg]

Bass, violin and drums. There will never be a rock song like this.

[westrokker]

absolutely love this song!

[heyawhaw]

For all fans of this band ... who haven'r heard the news: Check out Jobsons new project UKZ. Along with new songs they also play UK songs and there is live footage out on youtube !!!!

Spread the news and use the power of the internet

But everybody hates spam

[spitfire71068]

Love Bozzio; love Bruford. I loved both U.K. albums, despite the differences in personnel. We'll never see the like of this era again, sadly.

[chubby3936]

God I Miss these Guys..Bruford..Bozzio. Who cares..they were GREAT...The best years of my Life..thanks for the post

[pflqr]

"And, as much as I like Bill Bruford, he pails in comparison to Terry Bozzio." - Raksaht

you are joking, right? i hope you are.

[DoctorPatient]

joking, certainly, about the laughably incorrect "pails" -- that must be "pales"

both drummers are exceptional and different in so many ways ... from the start of this great clip, I realize what a physically expressive drummer Bozzio is ... watch how he emotes and conveys the ridiulously difficult "Black Page" in a "Zappa Plays Zappa" clip here

[pazzensutra]

I kind of agree with Damphear, but compared to anybody else out there, they were still ultra fantastic. Here we are, the turn of the century, and we're choking on rappers and garage bands. UK were the greatest.

[FoxtronInk]

Did you mean GARBAGE BANDS? jajaja

[pazzensutra]

Crappy quality or not, this stuff is gold! Unbelievable. This is rock at its best. UK, we need you!!!! This so freaking rocks.

[senorbellaco]

As I live in NYC, I was lucky enough to see UKZ last week.They did this, In The Dead of Night, Alaska, The Only Thing She Needs, and 2 others whose names escape me as I only have their live album.Tony levin's Stickmen opened and they were great also,but no Crimson covers from them.

[brianbikesanddrums]

I can't believe this even exists. Thanks for posting it.

[Raksaht]

Great song, great band... but the quality of this video makes it painful to watch.

And, as much as I like Bill Bruford, he pails in comparison to Terry Bozzio.

[vivelavidarocka]

I like this song. Thnx for posting

[henny320]

That Ibanez Roadster bass Wetton is playing sounds awesome. A great bass.

Although the sound is largely down to his three stacked Marshall Superbass 100s...

[msawbe]

Oh yes' I also have to add' I think it was good that he and Bruford moved on and did the One of a kind album. I feel that's one of the finest Prog-rock albums of all time.

[msawbe]

As much as I love Allan Holdsworth guitar playing' this band worked best just as a 3 piece' with Bozzio on drums.

[Damphear]

im sorry but uk always sounded best with bill and allan.

uk went from a super prog group to a love ballad prog group

[msawbe]

I remember in 78' buying the 1st UK album' and being so excited' cause I was a big fan of all 4 of the musicians 4 quite a few years' but when I took it home and listen to it' I must say I was a bit disapointed. Sometime's supergroups don't work. As Allan even said; it was Jobson's band. Plain 'n' simple. I'm so glad he moved on. He and Bruford didn't quit' they were fired. They worked togetter' then Allan formed I.O.U. and that gave him chance to really open up in a way u never heard before.

[smallsaves]

From South Florida to Boston,

John Wetton of UK, King Crimson, Atomic Rooster, Asia, Wetton/Downes....Always an A+ performance!

[edgyspice]

Eddie Jobson is awesome. But then again, so is John Wetton.  And Terry Bozzio.

[burlearth]

why is Wetton dressed like Han Solo?

[heyawhaw]

pfff ... it's Han Solo that dresses like John Wetton!

XD

[burlearth]

You've never seen Han Solo play bass.

[hope2prosper]

yea i saw this band live back in the day, it was absolutly incredible. is any of this stuff out on dvd ?

[dbeckster]

Oh shut it. First off, it's an electric violin. Even Fender makes them now. Second, electric violin has been used in several prog rock bands. You can use any instrument in any kind of music. For instance, George Harrison from The Beatles learned to play the sitar. Rush's guitarist, Alex Lifeson, played the bazouki on their last album. Peter Gabriel of Genesis played flute. Anyway, cutting to the chase, people like you just can't realize that it's not the instrument, but the music!

[ssllsskk]

dbeckster I was commenting a bit sarcasticly to igeorgei comment below mine. I saw this band in 78 in Frisco, and every other band you have mentioned except the Beatles on numerous occations, Hell Gabriel jumped off the stage right on me during his encore back in 80 when he did that kinda shit. I have a great appreciation for Mr. Jobson and this band. I could go on and on. but it would only bore.

[dbeckster]

I understand. I'm very sorry.

[jamesdefonce]

Bozzio plays like a man posessed

[gorgonslave]

you are right !! he looks like hes out to kill people on the drums hahah

[jgeorgel]

the fiddle sounds funny

[Jertheking6360]

LOOKING FOR THE LIVE VERSION PLAYED IN BOSTON BEFORE JOBSON PLAYED WITH THE BAND bILL bRUFORD PLAYED A LIVE GIG BEFORE HE LEFT THE BAND. HE MAKE THIS SOUND AMATURISH

[sega62s]

Jobson is a maniac, very intersting to ear a violin in a rock band.

Most of the guitarist want to have that kind of freedom and sound.

Look at Allan holdsworth and Steve Hackett and many others.

UK was one of my favorite band, would have like to see them live.

[derrbyman]

I was very fortunate to see U.K. 3 times(twice as a 4 pc,once as a trio) at the old palladium in NYC in 77 & 78...I'm still blown away by it today.

[eltessy]

First time I heard of U.K. was behind the "Iron Curtain" (Cuba) (Cold War Era) in a "Samizdat" cassette, I was a teen and this number and "Alaska" turned me into a UK fan.

[smithd66]

This is great! I haven't listened to this for years, I had the vinyl albums, I'm going to look for this on Itunes for my ipod.

[uk1885]

king31395 you are the stupid

[wonderfulhuman161]

"Creamed up kitten screaming for her next injection, dead dog in the driveway- protein for infection"- This trio was bad ass. JOBSON-WETTON-BOZZIO. U.K. on the DANGER MONEY TOUR. BOW DOWN BITCHES.

[solaire98198]

I have gotten into the wayback machine. Are their actual good video versions of U.K. available? I have loved this band since 1978, I have seen them once "1979 opening for Jethro Tull". I am glad their vids are here, but it is kinda creepy seeing what you remembered versus these poor quality vids. Was is really that long ago?

[King31395]

Such a killer song and killer band

...but Eddie Jobson and that STUPID violin!

I guess having the ridiculous talents of BOTH Terry Bozio, John Wetton in your band AND having a killer, balls-out keyboard setup just wasn't enough..."hey, let me whip out my glass violin!"

Great keyboardist on the rest of the tracks on the albums...but what a JACKASS!!!

[senorbellaco]

What's wrong with the violin?Alot of groups have (or had)violinists in them:Kansas, King Crimson, Gentle Giant,ELO,etc.

[SabakaNjecu]

My friend theres nothing wrong with the violin in the rock music. It is more rare but makes the music more interesting and for example, Kansas without violin isn´t real Kansas. Theres something wrong with those who say *that stupid violin!* Long live all rock violonists!

[CalvinMcFarland]

love Crimson, hate Asia and never heard of these guys until I pulled this up....I am floored by how great this song is

[ePhilosopher]

yeah, her, carrie bradshaw, who also fell out of a tree. people type, clot. and violinist, sounds like streaming down your arms it's so delicious, down in la, still the drippings, just typing, spacetime continuum, out, spot, tiny small violins and vodka and such, such as

[figuer39]

That was one hella cool violin performance.

[Mietek164]

His name is Eddie Jobson

[figuer39]

I know ^_^.

[NastyGreaser]

DAMN awfull sound and video quality... no fun in watching it at all. but i agree with everything written here

[lionlr1]

Whether with UK or KING CRIMSON or whatever,JOHN WETTON has such an authoritative stage presence its amazing. He is one of the great bass players of all time. JOHN WETTON and the FENDER PRECISION perfect together. Great voice too!!!

[hangover71]

Why are ALL the UK vids...screwed up.?

[grouchotrilo]

Bozzio is great and so often forgotten now, a true master of double bass and clean fills, the new idea of how double bass should be is basically how fast can I go, Bozzio had the sound and the accents and it was as fast as two bass drums ever need to be played.

[beagleheadfred]

Eddie is my fave keyboardist simply brilliant but man he looked like such a wimp in this clip,lol.aLL BRILLIANT MUSICIANS!

[Uffebas57]

I think John Wetton has turbo in his bass-sound.

Is it a octavedevider and a hi gain amplifier.

I can also see a Moog taurus basspedals on the floor

but I cant see that he uses it in this track.

[ePhilosopher]

i feel as prettily stupid as that girl in the middle on street smartz withthat nazi jay leno

harmonymanatee dot clean napkin

pariah dogs

[memalley]

the harmonized "caesar's palace blues" sounds so much cooler in this version.

[ePhilosopher]

la villa stangiato one day i'll fly thru a . millennium

One day i'll fly thru a crack in the sky One day I'll feel I'm on top of the wheel falling back again lysteria in grandiose crapolla

[yesloow]

Amazing that this video exists. The album version (Danger Money) of this song has one of the most moving and powerful song openings I've ever heard. Bozzio was a huge roll model for me as a young drummer.

[ePhilosopher]

lol

;: ; (al)

[ePhilosopher]

sorry jobson. meant to tell you.

yesterday's lunar eclipse.

but et tu brute inri

[GBJPhotoWorks]

Wow! Nice. I saw this version of the band open for Tull's Stormwatch Tour. I was blown away by Jobson and Bozzio. Rock violin WHAT?? Of course, Jobson ended up IN Tull on the next album, A.

[ichigoface]

TERRY FANTASTIC!!

[russinblack]

Fantastic! heard about UK on OGWT about 25 years ago, never thought I would ever see a clip, thanks for posting. R

[ePhilosopher]

hobson'sAbsurdity

[ricappon]

Amazing Band . their first record is just a masterpiece and is my favourite prog recording of all time . BRUFORD HOLDSWORTH WETTON JOBSON can´t be matched . this was their secon incarnation with monster drummer terry bozzio ( zappa ) . cause jobson/wetton wanted to go into a more commercial style of prog music while bruford/holdsworth went on to form BRUFORD´S BAND wich was also a legendary monster band check out "one of a kind "

[IzzyMorphiis]

Great video it was my first time hearing U.K. material ever and as record collector,next time im at a record expo or something and i see a U.K lp i am going 2 pick it up right away.I just added them as one of the 70s greatest prog band.thanx for uploading this it was good 2 see it & hear it for the first time

[xavisanchem]

great video, so sad they didnt make more records.

but at least we have this, the comments about them

sounding like elp is so stupid that I dont know why

some prog journals were heard! what a group, talent etc

[crazeegideon]

UK was an amazing band. Sadly, John Wetton would go on to form one of the worst bands ever (Asia). Nevertheless, this video is the best I have seen of them. The "In the Dead of Night" video is to dull for me, they just stand there. Jobson hasn't been in Crimson yet, maybe they could have a violinist again!

[elpyesrockman]

Saw them in Boston in three different venues, Paradise Rock Club, Berklee Performing Arts and Music Hall. All three shows were mindblowing. Of course the Paradise show was their kickoff and is available on CD somewhere online. I had my tape recoreder set up at home on a timer as WBCN was carrying the show LIVE.

[greger1]

Jobson just amazes me. As a keyboardist, I'm in awe of him. As a fusion violinist I'm in disbelief. He's even a good composer. Then, WHY... so little of his stuff?! Green album, two UK albums and Secrets.

[Psychomikeo]

I was lucky enough to see these guys for free in Kalamazoo. It was stormy the whole day untill they waked on stage then the sun came out & they played for close to 3 hrs & it was told that you could hear it 5 miles away. Eddie do another solo lp & still think your last 1 (Zinc) if the best... I still listen to it a lot.

[shadowsfromthesun]

I can't believe there's a live video either...U.K. kind of fell between the cracks compared to Yes, Asia, and King Crimson.

[RockbertoRocks]

I cannot believe there was a video of this! Thank you for sharing! Jobson, Wetton and Bozzio ruled!

[bozziofan01]

wich album is this on

[dlswint]

This song appears on the studio album "Danger Money" and the live album "Night After Night."

[prosoloist]

This song is on UK- Danger Money and also on their live album named Night After Night. However, this particular version isn't on any legitimate release.

[MikeHF]

"Danger money" and it is also on the live album "Night after night"

[dvnbrat]

Danger Money

[barneyb3]

This is amasing to see again. I saw UK in 1979 and when Eddie performed this song it was incrediable. I can still see it and here it 27 years later. The shame is Eddie Jobson has not performed live in 25 years..since he left Jethro Tull. Somebody needs to push him back on stage. Its been too long.

[jzbass72]

Wonderful! Thank you for posting this. This has been kicking my ass ever since I heard it on the Night After Night live album.

[mikeh69]

cool the only live clip out of three

[MSPARKS]

WOW... AWESOME STUFF . THANK YOU << BOWING TO THE GREATNESS OF WETTON...LOL >>

[Mulyanis77]

Thank you. Bozzio's best stuff IMO.

Erik

[Farx]

Thanks for sharing this one, been a fan of Jobson / Wetton / Bozzio and all their respective groups for a long time.

This is like the ingredients of Zappa and King Crimson blended together to make a very different recipe.
