Danger Money - UK

[phidrakeresoration]

@tbretzer. I read somewhere on your comments that you wish the original could be restored. Not sure how the copyright thing works, but I have taken a LOT of noise out of some of my favourite tracks that I downloaded from I-tunes. If you want me to try this for you I would be happy to, no fee as I dont do this for a living. Dont need the original as I can get acceptable results working from high bitrate MP3's and the like.

[startover942]

A tremendously brilliant vid of UK! Can't help but to love this!

[Maskedfreakinabox]

I'm so stoked to see these guys back together



[divyx]

@Maskedfreakinabox I thought it was only Eddie Jobson with another musicians doing it? I might be wrong though...!

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@divyx no, they just had an inconsistent lineup.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@divyx Bill Bruford and John Wetton formed the band and later brought in Eddie Jobson and Allan Holdsworth for the original lineup.

[edgroove7]

@Maskedfreakinabox what the original line up?

[dinkeldal]

amazing song and sound timeless

[aoz823]

a classic prog rock if there's one!

[chrisjewett63]

bought their first album when it came out &this one thereafter!! havent heard this in 20+ years!! Thanks!! Great music....what happened? today C-rap,gone tomarrow?we can only hope.... rap music,what an Oxymoron!!!!

[silvereith]

@chrisjewett63

You'd like the film "The Last boy Scout". The bad guy says to Bruce Willis, "I'd like to hear you scream in agony just once."

"Play some rap music." replies Willis.

Truth in jest.

[freethoughtmusic]

Great to hear this again after all these years. Thanks.

[startover942]

Simply: brilliance! I love UK! This is how it is done!

[claudiobenassi85]

3:50 it's RED , it came back!

[startover942]

One of my all time favorite albums, and through the miracle of YouTube we may all enjoy these great works from UK again. In one hyphenated word: MEGA-OUTSTANDING!

[ambereyes1972]

Muuuuuito legal

[collectivesool7777]

VERY COOL BAND !!!!!!!

[williamwinfree]

Say these guys in El Paso Texas with Jethro Jull in 1979. Hell of a show.

[startover942]

@williamwinfree OUTSTANDING! Many of us wish we were there with you!

[pianomanal2000]

listening for the first and and only about 30 secs into it, I can tell already that my new friend who reccommended this to me was on the money!

[garay8008]

I listened nonstop to this album for years when it came out...I felt like I was the only one that loved this

[startover942]

@garay8008 And UK has the ability to bless you as such. Enjoy as you can enjoy how you can be the only one listening right now!

Ironically, we'll listen along with you!

[CUALL8R]

This was truly an under rated band. thanks for posting!

[unamacarana]

...the bass line during the instrumental keyboard section is scary...

[rudymoog]

@unamacarana it´s scary, indeed, just like King Crimson, the bass player played on king crimson in the mid 1970s

[smallsaves]

Since I was first introduced to UK by Mr. AKC of South Florida, I have been a fan ever since!

[smallsaves]

Since I was first introduced to UK by Mr. AKC of South Florida, I have been a fan ever sice!

[cathoderoy]

I like the snap, crackle, pop of the vinyl at the end...

[Stihlmanable]

i saw UK in concert with Jethro Tull in Omaha, Nebraska, USA during their 79' tour.  I was blown away!

[ABCDskate]

John Wetton is amazing.

[MORGANNAW8974]

I love this album!!!

[StaunchRense]

supernice!!! great album :) love the intro on this song ;)

[Jellybeantiger]

This whole album blows me away!

[seraphleo]

WOW. I bought this on 8-track back in '79 and it's been about that long since I've heard this piece. Thank you!

[startover942]

@seraphleo Outstanding testimony! Seriously, this is good!

[BassPlayer5045]

Yes very good song´s

[M0ofi32012]

A band that introduced 80's progressive rock, with a taste of what was to come through Asia, since John Wetton was there. I loved this song. It was my favorite from the album. Thanks for the send-up!

[desensualdom]

awesome

[desensualdom]

outstanding !!!

[szampon]

i still get the goosebumps. great music, brilliant virtuosos. this is what you get when you combine mothers of invention and king crimson :)))

[startover942]

@szampon Absolutely! The goosebumps are already setting in as this OUTSTANDING classic is being played.

Need to see if experts can restore my original Danger Money LP; of course they'll need to advise me not to wear out the grooves again.

[nonfoods1]

See what happens when you don't give apple a share cause of greed? Thanks for the uploads kids!!!

[MORGANNAW8974]

UK. A prog rock band. First time I listened this song, through my friend Enrique Leal, who gifted me a casette, I liked it.

Thank you .

[apache1601]

one of my fav prog rock of all time

why they didn't last mystery

[Slothorama]

Nice modern day feature at 7.25 =)

[bozzioisgod44]

I'm learning the drum beat for this. 9/8 feels weird... :P

[Darkskinnded]

Picture a young black kid from the streets finding this tape in his deceased grandfathers collection in 95.He played it so much that his older siblings hated him for it.They eventually destroyed the tape while holding the kid down.But that kid is a grown man now and his ears still refuse to be prejudiced against great music. Church

[MrTrefrog]

I love this album! I saw UK in Edmonton Canada in1979 when they opened for Jethro Tull after Allan Holdsworth had left the band. Shortly after that, Eddie Jobson played on Jethro Tull's "A" album. I believe he was 18 years old at the time.

[Mulyanis77]

@MrTrefrog Dude I was there with my jaw dropping to the floor too.

[Mulyanis77]

@MrTrefrog

Cheers brother!

[mrgribny50]

not enough of this great music nowdays

[senicegy]

Years ago i sold most of my records but thanks to you tube i rediscoverd this,now i'm in search to buy this record and the previous one UK,on cd,awsome musicianship,on a pair with rush

[startover942]

This is so fantastic; we can hear this great UK composition without ripping up our own vinyl copies! God bless YouTube and all those who bring classic UK to our eyes and ears! Beyond fantastic!

[kokosu1192]

世界最高のプログレバンドだ

[FoxtronInk]

@kokosu1192 v09(*^&&$%#@ !@@@?

[Lightmane321]

This is good, but the first album is better.

[7tomatoes]

friggin wow

[kushisaac]

Dang, saw these guys open for Jethro Tull in I think in 79, then bought this cassette, wore it out, I know Itunes had their first album but I never saw this one, have not checked in awhile maybe they have it now. Great song, thanks.

[bennettdrew]

Great memories...love John Whetton's vocals. This is a power house group of musicians. Bozzio,Jobson.

[simplyre]

Uk was underrated as a band. Not as ambitious as ELP or as experimental as King Crimson. Wetton had a great rock voice, Jobson provided the x factor with his electric volin, aside from his competent keyboard playing. Bozzio drumming provided a more solid rock beat than Bruford.

This is one of my fav track, despite sounding like Jethro Tulls The Whistler.

[Jay435]

@simplyre I know it's been a year since you posted about Eddie Jobson"s "competent keyboard playing" LOL! Herbie Hancock the great jazz keyboard legend was asked about who he thought were great keyboard players. He said Jobson was the greatest rock keyboardist alive, he can move with ease and grace from the punchiness of piano keys to the softness of organ and synth keys without effort and his ideas, technique, improvisational skills and sound vocabulary combined are unapproachable. Yup.

[webbtje]

Such a criminally under-rated album. Fantastic opener.

[anlashok42]

Bless you Sir!!! All we had on youtube was a faded Caesar's palace for SO long. Can you upload Carry no cross?

[ssabgorp]

007 Yea!!!!

[ozricstormbringer]

lolololol nice cell phone call mid song... got to love that

[BillySherwoodHQ]

Thanks... I needed that :)

Cheers, Billy

[xxdrzombiexx]

I bought this new...30 years ago. Timeless music.

[scottyman1984]

hell yea

great song!

wow

[woofycalling]

Awesome, one of the very best crank up

[IngialV]

Cringo Rock

[startover942]

And it is great to hear this again. Excellent comment and I hope we hear more that which is UK soon!

[mkervelegan]

hearing this song reminds me that the statute of limitations for what we did when it first aired has not expired yet...

[alborada777]

Definitely one of my favourite albums. Thanks for the upload!

[loekie64]

Birthday present when I was 15...

[setonz]

This is my favorite track off this album.

[startover942]

This is how you do this! Danger Money is how one rocks!

[mrgribny50]

@setonz never got this album but have the first one and the live one. have to get this!! no one today can touch these guys

[setonz]

@mrgribny50 I like this song very much too.

[masterugie]

Tnx for uploading this... I was waiting for this a long time :)

[Jay435]

I heard that Wetton didn't much like working with Bozzio, in fact he called it a mistake. I personally think he might have been overwhelmed by Bozzio

[62849rsm]

These guys are great musicians. What an incredible album!!!

[startover942]

@62849rsm - Concur! Been looking for this very song for so long; this is so beyond great!

[pissclam]

one of my all time top 5 albums!!!! we thank ya.

[TJSlipperman]

Awesome song, especially that intro! I gotta get the CD for this album :)

[JIF882]

I just recieved the remastered CDS I ordered from Amazon. Remastered by EJ himself. It sounds great! Not loud at all

[Montin83]

Money Kills! yeah! i love that intro!

[Danzacontigres]

QUE TEMAZO!!!! QUE LO PARIÓ!!!!!

[cw2039]

CLASSIC!!!!!!! keyboard -drum intro for this track is simply awesome.

[snookman62]

THANK YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!

[TBretzer]

Hey no problem, just glad that people can listen to it again or for the first time.

[Vox572X]

@TBretzer first time! well well... I have 16-17 years and I love prog!!!

but I hate that the midia is soo fucky shit that made my generation acultured and ignorant and ARROGANT and soo So Danger money Danger!!! They just thing in and sex.. well not just then but. Anyway thank you for the lesson

[spamruimtevooryoutub]

marvelous song again. but do I hear the sound of a mobile phone too close to a speaker, after approx. 6 - 7 mins in this record??

[Hopspop]

LOVE this POWERFUL amazing song

Why no live versions? Saw them tour with Tull in 79, someone must have some footage - Carrying No Cross cooks my noodles too...

[prog4evr]

I saw that tour too at Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA (I was bombed off my ass - too bad!) I guess it was on that tour where Jobson met Anderson and left UK to join Tull for the 1980 Tull release...

[aceofrpm]

And of course the opening act? Well;;;it was just THE GODZ OF ROCK AND ROLL!

[dmitche3]

Loved this album back in about 75 or so.

[progrocker69]

Actually, "Danger Money" came out in 1979. Sorry.

[ozricstormbringer]

@progrocker69 ya I was 10 wen it came out /facepalm dam I'm old

[progrocker69]

@ozricstormbringer Heh, me too. But I didn't actually learn about them until 1987 or so.
