...how Fripps solo climbs up, with two attempts!, explodes at 4:27, and then gracefully releases (see Brufords joy there, how much fun playing SUCH music...)

simply the best...

HEY LETS SHOW WHAT BRUFORD AND LEVIN ARE DOING DURING FRIPPS SOLO!

Brilliant - the tightest band ever - able to handle polyrhythms flawlessly. And happy 90th to Jack (Kerouac - who along with Neal Casady was this song's inspiration, and that of the album's title "Beat")

@boibad12 Wow it's been so long since I watched this video, thanks for bringing me back! lol

[peteytwofinger]

@boibad12 i am guessing the cameramen / editors where more than likely instructed to NOT feature video of R.F.'s solo . i hear ya though!

man that was good to see...been a while since i heard that song....one of my top bands!!!

I have always thought the Discipline/Beat/Three of a Perfect Pair era KC to be a form of progressive dance music. I've heard Fripp in his own way come close to this point as well. It makes your body and mind do different things at the same time.

Years ago a guy told me the title was a funny pun as in Kneeling, Jacking Me. I still don't know what to say about that but if anybody gets the chance to ask Belew, tell me what the outcome is hahaha.

I fell in love with Bill Bruford at 4:38

@greatsilentwatcher Yeah, Neal and Jack and Me is so awesome, it could be as bad as one of Fela Kuti's sax solos (like the whole thing is totally batched) and it would still be one of Crimson's best. They have the right to mess up!

[greatsilentwatcher]

@GangstaGTV imagine not messing up playing this kind of complex stuff... even if they did it 100 times.

I saw this tour, on the Hudson River NYC, 2 nights, second row center!
