  • This is awesome, right out of Bills book from a few decades ago,

    At one point there are 2 different lines being played by the

    guitarist and I think pianist. So, it is like two songs at one time

    but on different beats.

  • why does this remind me somewhat of Rush - YYZ ?

  • @Moshking217 - what do you think Rush was listening to? This album came out almost 3 years before XYZ and was VERY influential in the prog world. Alex and Geddy no doubt had there ears tuned to the grapevine!

  • @Moshking217 the trur answer is rush listened to alot of progressive musicians at the time..so this is where there influences come from...most 'rockers' would not know this but if you are a rush fan you know they dabbled in serious progressive music like weather report-miles-tony williams lifetime-plus back them there were so much music influences out there...

  • bizarre...

  • They don't make music like this anymore,

    however, they have inspired many young unheard of artists,

    maybe youtube can break out a new fusion act;

    click on my link below & see what Bill has inspired (along with many others)

  • @GregMagDrums Check out OHM.

  • All these exalted total crap bands out there, and nobody talks about this fantastic band. You can't get tighter than this!

  • Yyyyyyyyaaaaaabbadaaaaaaaaaaah­!!! %-)

  • haha... very good... i do from the Romantic Warrior Album... Duel of the Jester and The Tyrant.. really was an incredible time to "expand the mind" with Rock and Jazz...Prog and Fusion... my son just started college and i hope he gets the same exposure to this and/or the neo-this i had!!

  • questo era il mio brano preferito...

  • CLASSIC BRUFORD !!!  ALAN H.....DAVE S....AND JEFF.B

    IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!!

  • Kikão

  • I love Allan's guitar sound.2.19

  • rock goes to college, and being all nerdy.

  • I would love to see this show some time.

  • why his guitar isn´t plugged?

  • @pablotepa13 wireless has been around for a long time

  • @666flatliner yeah i know, but i dont think that they got that technology at that time, this is from the 70´s or something like that.

  • @pablotepa13 trust me.....it did

  • @666flatliner - you can see the cord sticking out of the plug, it's then wrapped around back and tucked behind the strap, then goes to the amp, a common practice then and now, so it doesnt get pulled out from being stepped on. see it around the 3 min mark. wireless guitar was not popular, reliable or affordable til the 80s so few used it, especially a small niche band like this would not have the luxury or need to use wireless.

  • 背筋を伸ばして崩れないブラフォードが、千手観音に見えます。

    「フィールズ・グッド・トゥ・ミー」のホールズワースのギター、­ねっとり湿り気があって、とても好きです。

  • Cant you hear Return to Forever in this?

  • I have this dvd it's my fave on it. I could listen to this all day and never get fed up with it.

  • damn this song is fuckin crazy and these guys play it perfect

  • GO BILL, FANTASTIC, ODDLY HE'S A BIT LIKE THE Drummer Pat Metheny, it's never overplayed and is always played in a most Mellow manner and yet his beauty is is INFINITE potential.

    PEACE N LOVE GLENN FLETCHER NZ, DRUMS ARE LIFE.

  • I would love to see the sheet music for this. I can't get the time down for anything.

    Unreal.

  • @Lightmane321 Bill Bruford wrote out drums, bass and keys for Beezlebub in his drum method book called "When in Doubt, Roll". It's all there if you find a copy.

  • I can't keep up with this.

  • Sounds like a Yes want to be band without the vocals

  • @zqzqpj may be some reason bruford reminds you of Yes? hm... hardly waNNAbe though, LOL!

  • @zqzqpj bruford drummed for yes

  • @zqzqpj fuck no dude

  • Bought the album when it was released. Still play it regularly. Stunning!

  • Has a bit of BRAND X flavor to it.

  • destroys, 10 people suck at listening to music

  • I love this video. This is my fave track on it. The bass playing gets to me every time at 2.16. Also check out the guitar solo! The man's on a different planet to the rest of us.

  • Yes, the world has changed! But if you were smart, you bought a Minimoog model D! Hahahaha Record company? What is that? If someone only saw this now, they would (or should) be impressed enough to bankroll it. I know I would!

  • 0:55 Bill: "Ah I fucked up!"

  • I bought the album on vinyl when it first came out; sadly I no longer have it. There are two drummers I never tire of listening to; one is Peter Erskine and the other is Bill Bruford. Both are so musical and precise.

  • @jamesbannon100 if you love precision in drumming WITH A SOUL (unlike those soulless machines in prog metal), may I remind you of Barriemore Barlow (his Jethro Tull years) and of course Neil Peart (Rush). But you surely know those already.

  • I love Dave Stewart's outfit. So casual, yet so great. Thats aside from the music though, which is near perfect. Has anyone heard the version with traditional woodwind instruments? Theres a bass clarinet, and the solo is played on a soprano sax.

  • Somehow I cannot say Jeff Berlin without first saying "The great", but for some reason I cannot say Allan Holdsworth without thinking of God.

  • because "Beelzebub," is the same pagan god that Creator God abhors his worshipers?

  • fffffffffffff.......Modes9 comment is sssttupid.......-.-

  • @amtheriver No, it isn't...unfortunately.

  • @SingingStringsMusic Yes it is...Obviously if they walked into a record company they wouldnt get nothing, because no record companies in 2010 label bands with music from the 80s or the 70s...ALSO Bruford is under summerfold records...which means that he is already signed with a record company...thats the second reason that his comment is stupid...and the 3rd reason is that there are many record companies that sign great bands everyday...SO, we havent fallen and there is no point in his comment

  • most beautiful song ever made

  • I couldn't recognize Jeff Berlin, he was so skinny!

  • @GiantPandas I'm pretty sure that's Tom Cruise. The resemblance is just... science!

  • These guys blow away anything prog rock....nobody can hold a flame to these guys. Friggin Holdsworth.....amazing.

  • ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG I just got BLOWN AWAY... Can anyone spot our good friend ALLAN HOLDSWORTH on stage!

  • did bruford ever record this on a studio album?

  • @seb2112 Yes. It's the first cut on Feels Good To Me, a brilliant album.

  • @seb2112 sure, "Feels good to me"

  • ....and now I see who the Disco Biscuits ripped off.

  • OMG, look at that lineup!

  • Great tune. Shoulda called

    It Yhwy. cause beal- ze- bub is about as scary as a bowl of oat bran.

  • @nonfoods1 hahahaha you made laugh. when i was young thought i read this tune as something between bees and bugs - beelzebug. 

  • This shit is so out there and so weird, that my friends who dig Prog-rock make fun of me for listening to this.

  • @GrandFunker ever listen to Return to Forever?

  • @EoFproductions YES! I love Return to Forever...I actually spent a small fortune buying the old lps off eBay

  • What an awesome band, pity that "If you can't stand the heat" isn't here; after "Devil take the hindmost" by Allan Holdsworth, that's my favourite guitar solo of all time as well as Jeff Berlin's solo on "if you can't stand..." what awesome players. Unfortunately most of the people today don't get how awesome this really is...

  • Seems like we've found the inspiration for the opening of "Grand Conjuration" by Opeth

  • look at these guys being cool calm and collective, producing academic progasms.

    this is science beyond borders, almost spiritual !

  • Wow. Awesome. I'd forgotten about this combo. Got the LP somewhere... too many LPs, not enough RAM.

  • Monster band that only a few can ever achieve to their level.

  • Magic how Jeff deals with being a little off perfect at 1:38.

  • best lineup ever?

  • how interesting Beelzebub the grate fallen angel, master of all deamons in a song hmmm but it's quite sad not even blackmetal sighz

  • Berlin, Holdsworth, Bruford, this is the mother of all super groups

  • The whole "Feels Good to Me" album is a masterpiece. Possibly the best fusion jazz rock album ever to be made imo.

  • Hey, is it Jeff Berlin in the Bass?

  • @valskater yes

  • Someone asked about similar groups. Check out Gamelon, they're really good..

  • These guys are the pioneers of intelligent jazz fusion. Love it.

    10/10.

  • Jeff's fingers are not fucking human.

  • he is sweeping?So who invented the sweep picking on electric guitar?

  • @MeurglysIV

    Way too tough to answer. People have a hard enough time trying to figure out who first started tapping -- it sure as hell wasn't EVH. Sweeping, in my estimation, has been around since the earliest days of classical guitar playing.

  • @yagamei i am sure that i saw blackmore was sweeping at 76 german live dvd

  • @MeurglysIV

    Chet atkins also sweeps from time to time...

  • amazing piece of music, Alan kick ass as always

  • Comment removed

  • Check out Allan back in the day wow

  • Stunning

  • Looks like 5g has been removed :(

  • It's funny how young they all look - especially Jeff Berlin, ha ha... He seems to be counting the beats at 1.13. It's not an easy tune.

  • Holdsworth è tra i primi di tutti i tempi!!!

  • MORE COWBELL lol

  • It's amazing that four people who have mastered their craft come together at one time. The studio album is better, but the fact that you can hear them replicate the songs live is just amazing.

    GREAT VIDEO!!!

  • Wow, you can really tell that Holdsworth is trying to make his guitar sound like a saxophone, it works well :)

  • Thanks host!

    Bruford

    Holdsworth

    Stewart

    Berlin

  • que bien está eso¡¡¡¡

  • Comment removed

  • I like how you included the FBI warning which you are clearly violating.

  • I don't think he is. Look at the name of the poster, and look at the name of where you can buy the DVD.

  • I love how Jeff Berlin is jamming out on bass like it is nothing at all.

  • Oh God. My head just exploded.

  • The world sure has changed. At least these guys had a cult following. If they walked into a record company office with material like this today, security would escort them out of the building! Why have we fallen so far?

  • @Modes9 - back then you had music like this for "us fans".

    This music is not for everyone but had a big enough following to survive some how.

    Today, forget it.

    Everything is about image. They package some crap up and get it out as fast as possible. Scary, but "mainstream" music has become American Idol, which I hate with a passion. I hated MTV too, . . the real first decline of music.

  • @Modes9 Thats actually happened recently. These new "indie" producers and companies only want the next cutesy coffeeshop girl or generic indie group to get hits, and have declined some experimental groups that actually have virtuosity.

    kind of ironic

  • @Modes9 Society is being dumbed down by design. The public has been conditioned to accept all this increasingly vapid, image over substance business class "music" promoted by marketing corporations that dictate their tastes and belief system.

  • @Modes9

    people's short attention span and MTV

  • @Modes9

    Yeah I'm with you. It's all a deliberate 'dumbing down' of society in general. It happened slowly. Laugh at me people but it's true

  • @Modes9

    Because marketing has changed our tastes in music.

  • @timkick2

    to the point of them becoming sheer anti-tastes

  • @timkick2

    to the point of them becoming sheer anti-tastes

    oh, or maybe you mean THEIR tastes

  • @ProgAndJazz

    No.... I meant what I said. Marketing has evolved our (the listener's) taste in music.

  • @timkick2

    Give me three reasons that support your opinion, if you will.

  • @ProgAndJazz

    Why are you turning this into a fucking argument you god damn twat? I was simply stating my fucking opinion. To appease your overinflated ego I'll give you three reasons.

    1. Teenagers are stupid and easy to market to. If you aim music at making money (as is the case with modern music) the quality tends to decrease.

    2. Look at how, over time, music has changed from meaningful and good to shit. This is marketing in action.

    3. Talentless people become icons. Why do you think this is

  • Me and Steve Linton were playing a real heavy pub on a saturday night. The landlord let us finish our last set 45mins early so's we could go upstairs and watch this. Even brought us sandwiches.

  • can someone post the audio for the original Bellzebub, the one from the feels good to me album. what I really need is four tracks from that album: Beelzebub, Either End Of August, and seems like a lifetime ago part 1 & 2. pretty please somebody help me. That would be helping a fan of Bruford, so please, please. lol but im serious

  • Buy the album. :)

  • I already have it, I found it in the internet. but im didnt get into it.  There's better stuff out there, more serious fusion.

  • gradully going tornado,the bruford tapes, one of a kind,master strokes and the live album all changed my life.

  • Genius - stunning track - love it.

  • drivel or is it piffle

  • I've had that book on order since I first learned about it - Not long now!

  • Phenomenal. Bill Bruford has officially retired from public performance, sadly. His autobiography will be out within a couple of weeks, and it gives some great insights into the prog and fusion scene he came up in.

  • i can feel that.

  • This is the best. I wish bands like this were still around. Yeah, this song is pretty unreal. I especially love it when they come out of the beginning riff and go into the majestic bridge part. It's so beautiful.----But no. this is the turn of the century, and we have much better music nowadays to expose our future generation to. Like gangster rap.

  • I agree. There are still bands like this. I saw King Crimson 2 years ago at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA. They were a spectacular musical experience. I wish there were MORE bands like this today. I actually listened to gangsta rap in the early 90's. The production of the rap music was very good, however, the lyrics were an eye opener of what was going on in their area. I never became one of those 'wanna be' gangstas. It was a moment in history and I don't listen to it anymore.

  • Bruford band at it's best.

    I love that stuff.

  • discovered this not long ago, and fell in love. Cant stop listening to this record. Does anyone know any similar bands? I'd apreciate that.

  • If u are just finding this stuff then there is a whole world of 70's fusion you need to see. Golden Age of Fusion Bands. If U dont mind- post your e-mail address or send it to me. Will send U the best of the rest. Let your education begin young grasshopper

  • Hello amazrand, I am VERY interested in 70's fusion, I think it's the best of both worlds: Jazz&Rock, I am open to whatever you have to offer of this genre, thanks in advance!

  • math rock is where its at.

    well, its this modernized.

  • ...in response to request for other similarly great stuff... "UK" (their 1st album) "egg"  **"hatfield and the north"**

    -and many more but that's a good start

    eventually, you might try and make your way to the 20th century minimalist compositions of steve reich. -all the best

  • Return to Forever, Chick Corea Electric Band, Weather Report ...

  • HA, one of a kind... forever sunday. I have the black album

  • hey awesome Beezlebub is the name of a band im in.

  • I wish I could dress like the keyboard player and still look cool

  • If you blink, you might miss him (bruford), lol.

  • AWESOME!!! Love One of a Kind. My favorite jazz album.

    Berlin kicks total ass on that bass. This is back when Jeff Berlin was at his peak performance. Listen to his evil chops. Mind boggling!!!

  • This song was on Brufords "Feels good to me" Album. Time period to "One of a Kind" is close though.

  • This song is perfect in so many ways.

    Bruford, Berlin, Holdsworth, ... This truly is the mother of all supergroups.

  • In my opnion is Allan Holdsworth one the greatest guitarists ever !

  • YouTube is chuckful of morons that don't know what the F**k they're talking about. Click on their channel, and most often they have no videos, or intention of making or hosting videos, they only sign-up for a channel to make their little asinine, uneducated spewings. I favor the Deletion and Blocking approach. Oh yeah "Feels Goog to Me" is fantastic, along with "One of a Kind" and U.K.

  • i agree, but i can't say much because i have had an account for two years and only have two videos up (both of which i uploaded this week). but yeah, the more well known youtube baceame, the more idiots that joined. I think that if someone doesn't like something, they shouldn't bother watching it. Bruford are possibly the best band ever, and deserve to have intelligent and well thought out criticisms to be made about them.

  • the master::::JEFF BERLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

  • Allan H. didn't do the tour either. I saw them in Atlanta but with a different guitar player, and of course, no Annette Peacock.

  • unwordable

  • 1) Kansas was influenced by the bands these guys came from--King Crimson, Yes, Soft Machine (Holdsworth's first name group folks), National Health

    2) Bill left Yes to play more challenging music--that is what he was always about.

    3) Annette Peacock is an acquired taste as a singer, but she is incredibly well thought of in the music community--she was in the vanguard of free jazz, and Bowie, among others, wanted her to tour with him. A little knowledge of history goes a long way!

  • I met Jeff Berlin on myspace I think he is one of the Best Bass Players I have ever heard yet!

  • BEELZEBU is the traslation of "King Crimson", I read it on wikipedia, to the voice KC

  • no it isnt it means "lord of every thing that flys" in which the middleeasterns of biblical time translated it "lord of the flies"

  • lol, not even close. it's as if you have no clue what your watching.

  • this is what i call music for brain, which is sometimes interesting to listen.

  • where can i get those tabs

  • First of all- this isn't 'prog rock'. This is jazz fusion at it's finest. Second- These guys were frighteningly ahead of their time. Third- Allan Holdsworth is an alien. Fourth- Shut up about Annette Peacock, she's HORRIBLE!! (I chuckled @ the 'dating the band member' comment).

  • How in the hell does Holdsworth do it????

  • I like David Stewert in this band better than him in Eurythmicks.

  • I'ts not the same Dave Stewart!

  • Is this a kind of joke? ;-)

    This is not the same Dave Stewart!

    The guy seen on this video formed great band called Egg.

  • Comment removed

  • not the same person

  • Comment removed

  • Because he's Holdsworth.

    It's like looking at a Dali painting and asking the same thing.

  • Anyone looking for footage of Annette Peacock with Bruford should check out "BILL BRUFORD INTERVIEW PT.2 (exclusive)" here on youtube. It includes a beautiful track featuring her vocals.

  • This track is just classic. I love those Bruford albums with Holdsworth and Dave Stewart, and watching them actually play these tunes is fantastic. It's magic. I've heard other people refer to this kind of music as "showing off" and "weird for its own sake," and they obviously just don't get it. This is unique music created and performed by unique artists. I can understand if this isn't someone's cup of tea, but there are simply no grounds for criticizing it.

  • Pinn How little you know..

  • Mm. The last comment was in response to pinifirma's comment. 'Another one of those' refers to people who think that everything should relate to them, including art.

    Can I ask you (pinifirma) a question? Do you think Picasso or Stravinsky were just showing off and that their work falls under the, as you put it ""mental masturbation" category"? Or do you think they were trying really hard to not be 'self-indulgent' and to try and please as many people as possible? Ha ha ha...

  • I love the guitar in this

  • boring

  • they're sinking too fast, the'yre walking on broken glass

  • Hahaha right on man! People trash Gradually Going Tornado because of Holdsworth's absense and Berlin's vocals, but I love that album!

  • 25 years ago, I didnt get Holdworth either. Sounded like garbage. 25 years ago i couldnt speak spanish, either. Sounded like mumbo-jumbo. Now I can appreciate the aestetic of his playing, and it absolutely amazes me. Different than Van Halen, or Malmsteen, or Dimeola, or Jeff Beck or Clapton. Not better or worse, intrinsically, just a different aestetic. By the way, he's my favorite, now .

  • Holdsworth isn't my favorite, but he IS the best. Whether a person likes his particular sound or not, doesn't matter in this case. There are other guitar players I'd rather listen to, but technically, he can't be matched.

  • bruford e allan juntos é tudo hein

    Quimica única dos 2

    Otimo video

  • What Bongo said.

  • He'd appreciate it more if they had a few explosions and wore makeup.

    "Fuck the M7b5 arpeg Alan, we need you to spit blood in this one"

  • Love the comment - hilarious indeed. More cowbell, Bill
