Yeah, this was a great chapter of 70's prog. I saw them live during this period, sadly sans Jamie Muir at the Santa Monica Civic, the Long Beach Arena and the Shrine Auditorium. Yet in retrospect, this vid demonstrates one flaw which was constantly irksome for me - David Cross' apparent reoccurring refusal to play in tune, at times almost painful in this clip
They started with this when I heard them in Edinburgh when I was a student. Like this clip all I could hear when they started was the hiss from the PA so I knew when the went for it they were going to be loud! So we have symphonic dynamism, Django Reinhardt references through Jazz Rock to Vaughan Williams- I was waiting for the kitchen sink to hit me in the face!
This piece was all about being in competitiion with the Canterbury Scene bands. Maybe that's why I remember it so well!
THE GREAT DECEIVERS(KING CRIMSON tribute band) play on Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 10pm at The Universal Bar and Grill in North Hollywood near Universal City. Don't miss them. They play songs like Starless, Lark's 2, Exiles, 21st, 3 of a Perfect Pair, Vrooom Vrooom and Fracture!!!
Brian Eno invented "Frippertronics" - uh, no - that was Fripp - which, amazingly enough, is why it was called Frippertrronics. Fripp and Eno did collaborate together plenty, did 2 awesome albums that came out quite close to each other time-wise and Fripp was on several of Eno's solo albums doing truly amazing work.
This is why I love the 70s. Amazing bands got a record deal, and in many cases became tremendously successful. Nowadays, few artists get a chance to show their skills because record companies are always looking for the same crap. If a band walked into a record company with a demo like this, they'd call security.
Since the 80s the media has been hypnotizing the masses with uncreative pop music and such lack of artistry via television, the same sources also raising children on the idea to chose "easy mode" in life, and purposely giving them a narrow-minded view of the world so they will buy more of the big companies products. There still is hope, though. I can't be the only genius left, and the tolerance of the rest of them has run out (the occupy protesters), so maybe one day prog could return...
@DoctorNarpasLoveless I hear ya and agree with everything you said. Tis a shame. But some prog bands do pretty well. I'm not a big fan of Dream Theatre, but they are a decent band with very talent musicians and they have a huge fan base. Perhaps there is hope. I'm only 18, and I know this generation is lost. I think that either the next generation will have much more sense, or it will be even worse than now. One of the two (I hope to God it's the first).
In Britain for the last 20 years a guitar band has to be indie to succeed, which means they play the same, tedious three chord songs to word perfect vocals. Otherwise the alternative is the same tedious take on urban music and dance music which hasn't done anything original since drum and bass died out in 1997.
FM Radio with serious album base, made serious Rock possible; fraid TV & Video target the Lowest Common Denominator. Prog's problem was that Keith Emmerson never actually hit anyone with a dagger, nobody died and actually being able to play was "elitist". Muscicians who couldn't play, like today's Reality TV gave hope to the masses of instant success.
the really beautiful thing about crimson is how concise their music truly is. they know when to be incredibly simple and when to slash through that simplicity with bursts of speed and complexity. their songs function like mini-movies in your head. they were always so far ahead of their contemporaries. quite possibly the greatest band ever. at the very least the world has seen no greater guitarist or band leader than robert fripp
ATTENTION PROG FANS! WE MUST OBEY KING CRIMSON! Every day, we will watch 21st Century Schizoid Man, by Hydra136! In order to get more views, we will click fullscreen every couple seconds, and change the quality every couple seconds! Those are tricks in order to get it more views! If we work together, in about a years, King Crimson will be the highest viewed Music video on Youtube! Spread the word!
You couldn't possibly play this piece on drugs- it's too difficult even for the brilliant musicians performing it. Listening to it again now I have to say it's a rather disjointed and fragmentary composition not helped by the stupid title. Technically brilliant as usual though and hearing it live once it came across as being an incredibly powerful piece.
For people like you, Rap, Hip Hop, ordinary Pop and shit like Oasis, exist.
We, Prog lovers feel proud of being among a reduced, elite group of people who enjoy original, creative and exclusive Rock. We despise ordinary listeners like you, kid. Actually, most of us don´t give a shit about people with your musical taste.
@Progfan2010 LOL be easy on em...and there's good rap, hip hop, and pop...hard to find, but it's out there...but yea @synon9m you wouldn't understand...lol might wanna just stick to Vevo bro lol
Man, I wouldn´t say KC is the best Prog Rock band. They were the best band in some aspects but I do find many flaws in their albums. I disagree with you about Oasis. To me, Oasis is shitty repetitive, monotonic music. And I would use any other example, except that Oasis and specially, the asshole Galagher, think they are the best band since the beatles, I watched them live and their arrogance makes me wanna drop a load.
@Progfan2010 Ok the best bands of Prog rock are KC, VDGG, YES, Genesis, Jethro Tool & Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa. But Oasis is a great band dude you don't have to say that are bad. They have 2 of the best rock albums.
Man this King Crimson line up is so good. It's a shame that they had to break up. But that's the case with every album of theirs, basically. They make one record, the team splits up and they have to get different people. But this may be my favorite line up of theirs because there was so much creativity! Imagination!
Of course all the teenagers have to show up and start talking about drugs on the King Crimson video page... Shouldn't you guys be in 3rd period Biology right now? Lame...
Anyway, this is a great (if short) take of a great lineup. Shame we never saw more of the Bruford/Muir combo. Such a rush to hear them both lock in and pound out rock solid time.
There were just such great bands with amazing members I really had such fun listening and collecting albums over the years and King Crimson is one of my top favorite bands!
@crazyedd123 ? They're all right-handed, my friend. Go look at videos of Jimi Hendrix and Paul Macartney. They were left-handed. Whichever hand you use to pluck the strings is your "handedness"
@timi0000 tbh it's kind of ambiguous sometimes. i've heard of alot of people who write and eat (fork in left, knife in right) left-handed but do everything else right-handed.
but the thing is, robert fripp and john wetton say they are left-handed but took up the instruments right-handed.
it's guite common really; ringo starr and mark knopfler are the most famous people i know who play that way.
afterall, unless you 'hendrix' your guitar, it can be very hard to find good lefty guitars.
@crazyedd123 Doesn't surprise me! Supposedly Wetton was obnoxiously loud! Between him and Brufford, I dont' think anyone could hear themselves much! If Wetton didn't make such awesome sounds, I'd probably be angry at the guy. But still, a shame. I loved the '69 - '74 era. I thought that's when the best stuff was happening. (Un) con-incidentally, these were "The Mellotron Years" of the band. Long live the Mellotron! The onset of synths, and extra studio technology turned things bad!! :)
@muzboz Wetton's bass is quite loud compared to alot of normal recordings (pop music.etc.).
it's a shame that Cross's violin is so low on most of their recordings - coupled with the fact that he plays the violin with distortion alot - i sometimes struggle to hear him in alot of the songs.
If you had to pick the one piece of music that changed one's life. This would be it for me. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1974 and thinking and feeling 'this is music'. For those of you who haven't heard it - listen to Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams. RVW wrote it in the trenches of WW1. King Crimson I think added war to the piece. Both are astounding - RVW for its beauty and KC for its shock and awe and the flight of the lark.
Everybody needs to chill out and ENJOY THE MUSIC or move on to another video of Mumford & Sons or something, this video exists because of how fucking groovy and talented these musicians are, quit your bullshittin' about drugs and religion, smoke a big doob, and sit back and jam out.
@ therealmunkyhaus Exactly, while many of the things can cause problems if taken in extreme doses, or just over a very Long period of time, you have every right to do whatever you want with them, in private.
@Kelebrinlith don't blame religion. I am Christian and, while I have not experimented with any such substances, I believe you have the right to do so. Even in the bible we are told not to condemn anyone's actions as long as they do not claim to be a part of the church (unless, of course, they have a direct negative impact on you, like being assaulted).
This is so incredible. I cannot believe you have a copy of this and that you have shared this. Everyone is so young! Thank you for sharing this and that King Crimson is quite a joy to listen to.
Look again. Alcohol is not even on the list. Pot is on top above heroin and cocaine that is the bullshit of it. This is supposed to be a free country not one manipulated by religion and liberals! My body I do with it as I please and screw the government and their bias. Legalize it all and let people make personal choices.
@Kelebrinlith In America, heroin is a schedule I controlled substance.So is pot, which I disagree with.Drugs are put in schedule I if they have no medical use.Pot does so I'm not sure why it's a schedule I.Pot isn't on top of heroin.They're in the same class, that's all.Cocaine is a schedule II b/c it has limited medical uses.Alcohol isn't on the list b/c it's not a prescribed drug.These schedules are part of the controlled substances act.I agree that pot should be legal, not H or Coke though.
It is so much more rewarding to do drugs and enjoy them rather than withhold any experience of religious dogmatic crap. Alcohol is a class 3 narcotic the same as herion. While Weed is classified as more dangerous than cocaine or herion? Idiocy of the government and religions.
I remember seeing this on tv when I was about 11 or 12 yrs old, and thinking what in the world is this crazy shit? I thought Jamie Muir looked certifiably insane walking around with that fur and a whistle in his mouth banging on anything that makes sounds. I think I was a little frightened to be honest. Little did I know that I would become a huge fan in about 5 yrs. You've gotta admit, this stuff is out there. I mean far freakin out there. Thanks for posting.
@drewper73 It's just improv, I wouldn't say it's 'out there', rather that persons listening are thinking too 'in there' if you know what I mean ^^ 'There' is a construct of the mind and when you let it go (Like KC have), you are then truly free
@jeggierecords No, they didn't. DT recorded a cover of "Lark's Tongues in Aspic pt. II", which ends "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" album. This particular one above is part I and it begins the album.
i love it when bands actually jam together to make amazing music and look like they're having fun, instead of just walking into a studio and strumming the same 4 chords for 3 and a half mins. something many bands seem to be lacking.
"Culture is a site of the secret, of seduction, of initiation, of a restrained and highly ritualized symbolic exchange. Nothing can be done about it. Too bad for the masses...
As to drugs & music, as part of the general milieu then there were acid, pot, mushrooms with a bit of the hard things that kill; H, coke ,etc, and we got ELP, King C, Yes, The Who, and on and on...Fast forward to the 80s & 90s and beyond, the drugs people like are crack & meth and we get the gansta rappas and the insipid pop crap like Madonna, NKOTB, Lady Gag...I rest my case.
I've never understood why people get all worked up with the question of whether or not great musicians did drugs. it's like people think the musicians' consumption or lack thereof somehow explains the greatness of their music. these musicians would've recorded the same great music regardless of their drug habits. i mean, unless they had psychotic breakdowns or got murdered over a sack of H or something along those lines...it's just absurd to thank drugs OR sobriety for what a piece of music is.
1st of all Zappa has smoked marijuana a few times, and Fripp has stated that while not on hallucinagenics when creating in the court, marijuana was smoked. I'm not saying drugs are the reason they are awesome although (Zappa isn't even awesome, he's just an excuse for people to be pricks about other music lol) I'm just saying that drugs were involved.
In Montreal, we had kinda bands like that, as prog and beautiful to remain these bands we had Ville Émard blues band ; Caramel mou; Garolou; UZEB ; Raoul Duguay ; Manege; Octobre and the musts : Harmonium; Les Séguins; Beau Dommage; Offenbach; Corbeau, les Carryes, and nonetheless : early years, Robert Charlebois ! Good luck to find their albums !
does anyone know the name of this tv show? I've seen some killer bands from black sabbath to amon duul ii and santana. trying to fifure it out for years.

@muzboz Wetton's bass is quite loud compared to alot of normal recordings (pop music.etc.).
it's a shame that Cross's violin is so low on most of their recordings - coupled with the fact that he plays the violin with distortion alot - i sometimes struggle to hear him in alot of the songs.

If you had to pick the one piece of music that changed one's life. This would be it for me. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1974 and thinking and feeling 'this is music'. For those of you who haven't heard it - listen to Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams. RVW wrote it in the trenches of WW1. King Crimson I think added war to the piece. Both are astounding - RVW for its beauty and KC for its shock and awe and the flight of the lark.

This is a great song, which kind of reminds me of a band I've heard a few days ago, Aperco. Hear the similarity at their channel apercoband

Everybody needs to chill out and ENJOY THE MUSIC or move on to another video of Mumford & Sons or something, this video exists because of how fucking groovy and talented these musicians are, quit your bullshittin' about drugs and religion, smoke a big doob, and sit back and jam out.

@Kelebrinlith don't blame religion. I am Christian and, while I have not experimented with any such substances, I believe you have the right to do so. Even in the bible we are told not to condemn anyone's actions as long as they do not claim to be a part of the church (unless, of course, they have a direct negative impact on you, like being assaulted).

Look again. Alcohol is not even on the list. Pot is on top above heroin and cocaine that is the bullshit of it. This is supposed to be a free country not one manipulated by religion and liberals! My body I do with it as I please and screw the government and their bias. Legalize it all and let people make personal choices.

@Kelebrinlith In America, heroin is a schedule I controlled substance.So is pot, which I disagree with.Drugs are put in schedule I if they have no medical use.Pot does so I'm not sure why it's a schedule I.Pot isn't on top of heroin.They're in the same class, that's all.Cocaine is a schedule II b/c it has limited medical uses.Alcohol isn't on the list b/c it's not a prescribed drug.These schedules are part of the controlled substances act.I agree that pot should be legal, not H or Coke though.

It is so much more rewarding to do drugs and enjoy them rather than withhold any experience of religious dogmatic crap. Alcohol is a class 3 narcotic the same as herion. While Weed is classified as more dangerous than cocaine or herion? Idiocy of the government and religions.

I remember seeing this on tv when I was about 11 or 12 yrs old, and thinking what in the world is this crazy shit? I thought Jamie Muir looked certifiably insane walking around with that fur and a whistle in his mouth banging on anything that makes sounds. I think I was a little frightened to be honest. Little did I know that I would become a huge fan in about 5 yrs. You've gotta admit, this stuff is out there. I mean far freakin out there. Thanks for posting.

i love it when bands actually jam together to make amazing music and look like they're having fun, instead of just walking into a studio and strumming the same 4 chords for 3 and a half mins. something many bands seem to be lacking.

As to drugs & music, as part of the general milieu then there were acid, pot, mushrooms with a bit of the hard things that kill; H, coke ,etc, and we got ELP, King C, Yes, The Who, and on and on...Fast forward to the 80s & 90s and beyond, the drugs people like are crack & meth and we get the gansta rappas and the insipid pop crap like Madonna, NKOTB, Lady Gag...I rest my case.

I've never understood why people get all worked up with the question of whether or not great musicians did drugs. it's like people think the musicians' consumption or lack thereof somehow explains the greatness of their music. these musicians would've recorded the same great music regardless of their drug habits. i mean, unless they had psychotic breakdowns or got murdered over a sack of H or something along those lines...it's just absurd to thank drugs OR sobriety for what a piece of music is.

1st of all Zappa has smoked marijuana a few times, and Fripp has stated that while not on hallucinagenics when creating in the court, marijuana was smoked. I'm not saying drugs are the reason they are awesome although (Zappa isn't even awesome, he's just an excuse for people to be pricks about other music lol) I'm just saying that drugs were involved.
