  • Thank you very much for your diligent hard work, it is much appreciated. God bless you.

  • God, the ending of this song gives me chills!

  • Great job, man. You did more than justice to a classic song. Straight to favorites...

  • PARABÉNS,AO PROFESSOR STAN,pela excepcional tradução e jogo de imagens de figuras perfeitas,criando assim verdadeiramente,um grande SHOW DE METÁFORAS PERFEITAS,e,de FÁCIL ASSIMILAÇÃO,para todos,independem se são fãs ou não do grande KING CRIMSON!!!!

  • One of Crimsons best. I wish Greg Lake had stayed with them beyond Poseidon.

  • first heard 40 years ago on 'Pick of the Pops' when Alan Freeman used to throw in some album tracks-it's as good now as it was then..

  • A major drums overkill,this guy must have been on some good shit..

  • You guys are too young. Kids like us went through all of the great music. You guys can only copy. Music artists didn't worry about money like they do now. They were expressive and related to us!

  • Mellotrons... and yep, good work here... :0)

  • epic.

  • Professor Stan,,,this is the original cut for the ALBUM,,,,glad you followed it till the end,,, The pictures fit this video ,,PERFECT ! Keep doing them Professor STAN

  • Great video!

  • This is a fantastic interpretation of a wondrous song! Very nicely done:)

  • Awesome when you're stoned. And I am.

  • 02:34... The Antikythera mechanism... this Prof really wants to catch some viewers attention...

  • Psychodelia!!!

  • who is that mad man guy on 3:37 ??

  • @psioter2 That question comes up a lot.... It's Friedrich Nietzsche (picture from the cover of "The Portable Nietzsche" by Walter Kaufmann.  Please see other comments below about Nietzsche because he was a highly controversal philosopher.

  • Professor Stan, I'd love to see a video tying this song together with the Japan Tsunami!

    In wake of Poseidon, Fukushima Japan; please join Masuru Emoto messenger of water in healing the water and healing the people of his country March 31 at 12 noon all time zones. Beyond nuclear power.

    psp

  • I don't know if this question has already been asked, but where did you come across this extended version? Thanks.

  • @eratacular9 This is not an "extended" track. It's the fourth cut on the 1970 album "In The Wake of Poseidon". Thanks for watching my video.

  • @ProfessorStan0725 Yeah I figured it out. On the LP release the track is 8:26, however on CD it's shortened to 7:56, which is essentially cutting out more of Mike Giles' awesome fills at the end. More proof that LPs are better I'd say! And great video by the way!

  • Beautiful. Just beautiful.

  • Great video. Thanks for sharing.

  • I'm a christian. I like Nietzsche. He had balls.

    The great christian theologian Ravi Zacharias reads his Parable of the Madman.

    You can find it here "Why I Am Not An Atheist"

    He reads it in part 2.

    Oh. I love King Crimson too. : )

  • jeez, 45 seconds of dead air is death on youtube.

  • @TheFearlessFreep This video was not originally intended for youtube.

  • @ProfessorStan0725 I understand. Nice to see it though.

  • IndependentObserver: It's the Antikythera Mechanism. Found in 1900, it's a 2000 year old computer of planetary motion.

  • love the consonance of moog and mellotron, and the disonance between acoustic and bass. I have 15 of their albums i.e. my fav!

  • La escencia del rock, un clasico. "El amanecer de Posiedon"(1970). La banda El Rey Carmesi.

  • Excellent video, you hit the mark on this one. Beautiful song and beautiful images you put to it. I can tell you were trying to express your emotions and thoughts the song incurred, not make something you thought people would like. This is art in the purest form.

  • @RushAnthem69 Thanks for the comment. You are one of the those that "get it".

  • 2:36 what is that object ... think i've seen it before ...???

  • @Independent0bserver It's the "Antikythera Device".  Ancient computer over 2,000 years old. Used for Astronomy/Astrology? Google for more info.

  • Great job!

    The image at 5:09 (while that house is still in the frame) looks strikingly similar to Hatfield and the North's album cover. (Another great album / band).

  • What timing with the photo of Nietzsche!

  • @TheBestInterest yes, his philosophical offspring (Stalin, Hitler, Mao) would enjoy it very much.

  • @TheFearlessFreep While it is true that Nietzsche's philosophy is totalitarian leaning, totalitarianism is not a necessary result. It is also true that Stalin, Hitler, and Mao may have read Nietzsche, but this doesn't mean that they are the perfect embodiments of his philosophy.

    A crucial part of becoming one of Nietzsche's "overmen" is defining your own morality. I doubt that this is what these men did. They were likely strongly influenced by others and were most certainly dogmatists.

  • @TheFearlessFreep nietzche had nothing to do with hitler mao and stalin, and suggesting those men even had similiar ideologies only exposes your ignorance

  • @snipersas just keep telling yourself that. The connections are pretty obvious to those of us who have read the material.

  • @TheFearlessFreep hahaha, ive done several independant studies on nietzche but okay. Its not even like i particularly like him, you're just completely misinformed.

  • I love this album but I sometimes feel it was too close to it's predecessor. This song in particular is really just a mash-up of "Epitaph" and "In the Court of the Crimson King". (just the music though...the lyrics are original and progressive...masterful stuff)

    Doesn't take away from it's brilliance though

  • Great sea shot, following the winged creatures at 3.44 mins. Priceless

  • donna's hubby rick- I am a crimson fan from way back listened to court as a 9th grader at FSU summer band camp-an eye/EAR opener - Damn I still love 'em at 55/56(the cusp this week) nice video work

  • The song itself is timeless masterpiece

    The movie in my opinion underlines it's message

  • CLASSIC

  • excellent interpretation of song and fantastic band!!

  • kanye west 4 life..respect

  • this is an awesome song!!!!!

  • love all the greatness of each musician , but Greg Lake nailed the vocals, . . .

  • To be fair, Prof - it IS worth the wait. Well worth it. Thanks for putting it up here.

  • My only moan is that we have to wait 30 seconds before the music (and it IS music) starts! Great vocals, great mellotron, great everything. Why has todays "music" industry frozen out the musicians?

  • @cweatherhill ... Good things come to those that wait.... Patience is a virtue...Don't you think the start is a little more "dramatic" when the music kicks in... anyway, I was just using a little "artistic license". Thanks for watching, I know the video is minor to the music!

  • it make me wonder.......meravigliosa interpretazione professor!

  • beautiful just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • epic song one of my top of all time good video thx for puttin lyrics on there

  • Mike Giles on drums is the man. Greg Lake gives in my opinion his best vocal performance with Crimson on this song. Very nice video, imagery was well done and having lyrics there made all the difference.

  • tema ql bkn wn

  • Comment removed

  • the lyrics are unbelievably good!

  • thank you for making this wonderful video i enjoyed every second of it

  • KC is not only Progressive Rock but a "Spiritual" experience at the same time.

  • Excellent song, superb pics!

  • THE GREAT MUSIC!

  • Well done Professor ! Congratulations !

  • I think this is a very good video!!!

    I've listened to the song a hundred times,

    but now your images and the lyrics are bringing to life the meanings, or possible meanings, within. It's very effective! Thanks!

  • King Crimson really were a great band! Thank you Stan!

  • Very nice thank you Stan, it took me back to being a lad again, They were years ahead of their time...

  • it did change my life

  • 3:30... who is that?

  • @frigital I have been asked that a few times (See the comment below by Travis1969 about 7 months ago)! That would be Friedrich Nietzche (1844-1900) from the cover of Walter Kaufmann's book called "The Portable Nietzsche". I highly recommend reading "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". It may open doors for you as it has for me and others!

  • @ProfessorStan0725 that and a book by Walter Kaufman call the p0cket nietzche, absolutely magnificent, scratched faith on nameless graves,  . . .

  • thanx for the light

  • Great and appropriate vid images to one of Crimsons greatest songs

  • MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Beautiful.

  • bellissima musica ma il video è una cagata

  • best song ever

  • great video

  • One of my favorite Crimson songs! Perfect interpretation....This is an ART!!!!

    Thanks.

  • Beautiful, simply stunning.

  • This Is the Sound of change. I can't say anything more than This song is Perfect. o.o

    The vid You did is really good too. I Love it :P

  • At most moments, you just nailed the visions and images I'd picture myself everytime I'd listen before to this tune... thanks, great work.

  • Good job, Prof. Stan. Usually I cringe when people attempt this sort of thing, as invariably there are misspelled or incorrect words and such that take away from the overall effect. Nice images you selected as well.

  • Great dream-like song. Sinfield's lyrics have long been criticized as too abstract here, and we have the obvious accusations that this was a remake of Epitaph. Personally, the song works for me. Nothing wrong with working with what was for KingCri an established vein and creating a similar song but with an altered mood. However, the first incarnation of the group was gone and after this, they might have been better off to just create an entirely new thing (as was done for Lark's Tongue's).

  • i believe Fripp to b a madman.

  • 06:29 progression is otherwordly! unbelievable, fantastic. In a word; SURREAL Drum fills are GENIUS UNIQUE. The whole song is a world beyond! I'm speechless...

  • Note the three note motif throughout, and the poetry of the lyrics. 50% of Crimson was Pete Sinfield, but 100% of the ego was Fripp.

  • Professor Stan...this is a most excellent and amazing video!!! aufrichtiger Dank!!!

  • great job professor , love the intricate words matched to intricate pictures , see youve been a king fan as long as me ,

  • Love the band, have always , will always, love the song, and I lvoe this video.

    The mixture of the still and live footage is very nice.

    The Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh's are ooohhhh sooooo gooooood.

  • sound a bit to much like the debut in my ears. great music though!

  • a legendary video!

  • great works.I had this LP whenit was out 1971?

  • so profound, so true , keeps me in karma chain, that bridges time and pence, . . . russell the wizzard aug 2nd 2010 on myspace . . .

  • I'm back to 1970!

  • To everyone complaining 'bout how modern music sucks go on bbc iplayer and watch prog rock britannia. You'll get why it changed. But it is a shame this era ended

  • God I'm sick of people on youtube complaining about how music has 'gone to shit'.

    First of all, there's no such thing as "good" or "bad" music. There's music you like, and music you don't like.

    Secondly, if you can't find modern music you like, you just haven't been looking in the right places. There's more available to you then there ever has been.

  • @AEFic Oh god thank you so much for this post.  Seeing everyone bitch so much bugs the crap out of me. You're right in every way.

  • @Alsch91 Exactly. For the first time, all these underground scenes are ready for anyone who cares to do a little searching, but instead they go online and complain about how 'music isn't the same anymore'. If we just had the same music since the 70s, how would that be a good thing?

  • @AEFic very true, availability, via the you tube is phenomenal, I myself am old school, and I find what I like, favorite and enjoy , . . . . my garage rocks everyday, russell the wizzard on my space

  • reminds me a little of epitaph, god greg lake is a good singer

  • why niestzsche

  • 6:57 Favorite moment; cry-cry-cry.

  • Great video. I saw Crimson in 8th grade. That was in 1971. They were amazing live.

  • Love the cat on the skins.

  • Crimson is a thinking mans music, I'm glad to see some younger up and coming Crimson fans are really starting to understand this anomoly.

    My suggestion is to listen to all the Crimson you can get your hands on, learn as much as you can about Robert Fripp, The Giles brothers, Ian Mcdonald, John Wetton, Peter Sinfield, Gordon Haskell, Bill Bruford, Greg Lake and the rest of the Crimson players. This is really a once in a lifetime band, this music can help you thru anything life can throw at you.

  • this vid captures the essence of this magnificent song.

  • KING CRIMSON tribute band THE GREAT DECEIVERS are playing on Saturday, July 17th, 2010 @ the Good Hurt club in West Los Angeles!!! Find them on myspace and/or Facebook to send them your name and email address to get in for FREE!!!

  • i love you

  • CONGRATULATIONS!

  • @Waiting7up Yup, thanks. hahaha

  • First song I've heard from King Crimson and I love it!

  • @Sunnycheerios Well this is nothing ; check out the albums ISLANDS (their best for me) and LARKS TONGUE IN ASPIC as well as the rest of this album and their 1st and 3rd albums 'Court of' and LIZARD

  • @kenfig Cool, thanks for the recommendations. I'll go listen to them right now. Thanks : )

  • excellent video for an excellent classic song, great job :)

  • I love this mellotron in this piece and all their pieces

  • June 1,2010.

  • very beautiful video......second favourite song from king crimson

  • Yes a good set of companion images. And King Krimson... what music and lyrics.

  • Let the Depression flow,If i wasnt suicidal,I am after listening to this song.

  • Wonderful work with the images. What a beautiful song!!!

  • Epic music accompanied by epic video. I really enjoyed that.

  • Nice Job on the video! One of my favorite Crimson songs!

  • @InMusthband

    Hey guys, thanks for the comment! I watched your jam session and you guys rock!

    Thanks for taking the time to watch this channel!

  • @ProfessorStan0725 Thank so much. i also enjoy your videos. just watched a couple more. Very nice!

  • this video may just change my life...

  • @kramer1lad

    Wow! That is really a heavy statement.  I'm curious... What was in the video that affected you... I saw your rant about S, Park and you are a very "intense" dude. Thanks for watching my channel.

  • @ProfessorStan0725 the words ring true the cronicles of the earths untold history they have altered my life , then , now and forever , they make me the modern day warrior I am , russell the wizzard on myspace

  • @kramer1lad ¿what?.....hay cada cosa......

  • Love the drums in this!

  • @ThirdMother That's Michael Giles

  • This may be the most tragically beautiful song ever. There's such a longing in his voice I want to cry every time I hear it.

  • I'm 18 years old and the only thing that bugs me about king crimson is the old quality. (I know it is an old recording so it isn't going to sound new) but once I get past that I really enjoy it. I just started listening to King Crimson and ELP and I really wish there was newer stuff like it! The modern day good stuff I'm into is Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, and Dream Theater. That is real music. None of this Kesha Gaga and computer generated beats. I hate it. Well, that's my music rant. enjoy.

  • @schplonkerdoogen i know exactly how you feel. metal is shoved in the gutter to kesha, lady gaga, and i don't even know who else is popular anymore it all sounds the same (i know this isn't metal but i primarily listen to metal)

  • @76sasquatch Wow that's hilarious, considering that metal is almost as commercial and mindless as the pop artists you named.

  • @Alsch91 i don't listen to slipknot.... or as i lay dying(cause i'm not a mega-uber emo mallrat). i mean actual metal, atheist? high on fire?

  • i'm loving this song but i only started listening to king crimson over the weekend so all i know is this and i've heard all of "in the court..." is there anything else like this? the feeling of the song i mean

  • A bunch of King Crimson vids have been removed! I'm, starting to fear the worst...

  • Great Song.  Great Video. Great Job.

  • Epic song.

  • the lyrics are as good as nick cave and the music is unlike anything i've ever heard

  • great song, i had to hear it today... today being the 40th year of Earth day (hey... 1970!). once in a while u have to listen to these songs. like alice's restaraunt on thanksgiving, or bella lugosi's dead on halloween.

  • great song, i had to hear it today... today being the 40th year of Earth day (hey... 1970!). once in a while u have to listen to these songs. like alice's restaraunt on thanksgiving, or bella lugosi's dead on halloween.

  • Nice one !

  • Existencia ... vida... música..arte.. King Krimson. Gran trabajo!!

  • Haha, thanks for the dropout-warning dude! Fantastic song, love Crimson but I forgot about this one a few years ago...

  • Travis1969 F. Nietszche

  • Their children kneel in Jesus till they learn the price of nails... Wow!

  • Poseidon seems to be one of KC's least remembered albums but it's brilliant.

    I love this song.

  • i always loved this song. It has such entrancing lyrics and a great tune

  • Great video ProfessorStan!

  • @1966Lennon

    ... speaking

    you forgot to add lol

  • @worldcitizenforever We are Spartans . .

  • 1966lennon, your hero was a wife beater and an importer of class A drugs , horrible south end plastic scouse cunt

  • eautiful

  • @ listen 2 those drums then those spaces then that voice, could be anywhere in our world, so much potential...

  • Cool.

  • Prof. Stan, What is the story with the two Women attending the fallen at @1.46?

  • Thanks for the video,great job. This song has one of my fav Pete Sinfield lyrics "Their children kneel in Jesus till they learn the price of nails"

  • Great pictures, thank you for that!

  • Wow !! Cool !

    Thanks !

    Travis ~~~

  • Thanks for this Video !!! Who is the picture when The Mad Man Lyrics is sang ??

    Just curious !!

    Thanks !!

  • That would be Friedrich Nietzche (1844-1900) from the cover of Walter Kaufmann's book called "The Portable Nietzsche". I highly recommend reading "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". It may open doors for you as it has for me and others!

  • @ProfessorStan0725

    I read it when I was 19. It was the book I chose to read one semester in School, for a class I had in literature. =)

  • @ProfessorStan0725 and I will too read . . . both , for education is a great tool to endeavor , russell the wizzard on myspace

  • @ProfessorStan0725 great reading material,

  • @ProfessorStan0725 i wonder, what did it do?

    i read it and it was all very confusing..

  • @tightpants2 If you are refering to the Kaufmann book, "The Portable Nietzsche", Check out the part called 'At Noon' (pg 387-390). When Zarathustra lies down next to the great tree and tries to fall asleep at the noon hour...and spoke thus to his heart: Still Still! Did not the world become perfect just now? What is happening to me? As a delecate wind dances unseen on the inlaid sea, light, feather-light, thus sleep dances on me. My eyes he does not close, my soul he leaves awake........

  • Being 21 in these modern times, I tell you, the music is bollocks now, fashion is repeating itself, Political correctness, Loss of identidy. This music keeps me together. In the wake of poseidon illustrates a grey London now and this song is 40 years old. How ahead of time were they! Its a shame how ignorant and little people of my generation know. Its a shame
