All these comments talking about the “real” king crimson are perplexing. Robert is the only one to appear on all albums, so therefore, all lineups have equal merit.
AGREED!
That statement makes utterly no sense at all. Total non sequitur.
@@garymclaughlin9559 Which one? Cygnushemisphers or bandfromtheband? Cygnus is right. The only "real" KC would be one with Fripp as he is the only consistent member from start so current day.Although I suspect Fripp would say that any KC with the right intention and spirit would be a "real" KC. But all lineups do have equal merit and should be allowed to stand on those merits, whether it's the KOTKC, Starless, Red, Discipline or Thrak lineup. I didn't hear KC until I was about 15 when Discipline was given to me several years after it had been released and that lineup was finished, but they are all KC to me. for me it all really comes down to Fripp.
I don't engage in such conversation things change life moves on they can call themselves anything they want
Okay ... How 'bout the BEST line-up, But that's just an opinion, man . LOL !!!
The first lineup I saw live. I was 15 and they closed with Larks Tongue II. Adrian Belew looked right at me and smiled. Guy is a legend.
🥳Greetings from NYC,Dan I 1st👁️KC during Discipline 🤯changed way I👁️at Everything In late80's👁️Adrian w/bears
It was a small club- I'm pressed on Stage-He opens w/Purple Haze ✨& I can👁️ setlist byHis🦶,He's just crushing it playing Crimson, Zappa, Some riffs from T.Heads remain in light& w/ arched 👁️sez&We Don't have a record contract & during a long solo👁️see next 1 is 'mum' so like an idiot I'm shouting MUM& He smirks at Me 😵💫 &sezThanx I can read🤭& goes into Murmur🤭end of Show-He gave Me His pick Fender thin color pink 🤗
In first line-up Adrian is no playing guitar or singing. First album is 1968 In the Court of Crimson King.
@@iggy9955 Yes I know. I wrote that it was the first KC lineup I saw perform live. In 1968, Belew may not have even had his first guitar lesson. That's the year my father graduated high school haha.
@@danvankouwenberg7234
Yes,thrue. I am 62 and play guitar 52y. I love KC when i so album-first in deutschland . I buy and love is to present day
wow bill's snare can be heard from miles away
Brufords signature snare sound love it !! 🥁💪😉
"Dat Bruford Snare™. Stunning audients since 1968."
Thats actually Pat's snare youre hearing
HI EVERYONE There is a clear difference between their snare sounds. Watch at 3:53 where only Pat is playing the snare and moments later when Bruford joins in. They are obviously different.
@@polishrocker93 no doubt,that their snares sound different, but Pat is the one keeping the beat and my point was that in THIS video,Bill is more of an accent percussionist than really keeping the beat like Pat,but yeah Bill's snare has pop when he hits it. Not trying to beef with you, but I hope you understand what I meant by this comment,and the other✌. We can be Crimson fans together and both be right,I hope😃. Thats what they would want.🤜🤛🙂
I was at this show. 100 motorcycles parked on the sidewalk outside all got parking tickets. Mine was one of them.
Belew was looking over at him.
I was there for this, and then caught them at the Berkeley Greek Theatre on the second leg.
Pat tried to make eyes with my buddy's fiance a few times lol.
I was there too. A fine show. I remember Fripp was very adamant about no smoking and I think they even stopped the show to remind the audience, who was still smoking.
@@gatogreensleeves Wasn't there also some kind of premature bar shutdown? My g/f's back was acting up and she desperately wanted a drink before the show but none were being served. That put her into a nasty mood so that by the time Adrian pulled out the drill she was close to just walking out.
What an epically heavy version of Red. So good.
Yeah, a paint peeler!
A band so heavy at times that they bend space & time!
An awesome band in every decade of their existence.
I would have to say that the Starless and Bible Black line up was my favorite. I was 16, saw them at Massey Hall in Toronto 1974. Fripp, Cross, Wetton and Bruford. USA is a fantastic example of this era!!
This line-up was a high-water mark for KC. So great to have these tracks online!
I was there with my best friend, also a longtime Crimsonite. Random memories of the show: Adrian opened with the standard "no flash photography" request, then enthusiastically announced "ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, 'cause here we go!" At one point an audience member shouted "we're still here!" which probably made some in attendance feel old. At the end of the performance the house lights came up and RF stood front and center while appearing to earnestly take account of the audience with a big smile on his face. Overall a superb performance, although frankly an appearance at the Fillmore a few years later was exponentially better.
Thanks Dean,I too 👁️this in a theater on Broadway NYC, having 1st👁️Them during Discipline tour 🤯literally changed way👁️everything, except last time I 👁️Adrian at famous jazz club in midtown He was kinda off+even wearing scruffy cap, nonetheless He's the Real Thing 🤗so inna world full of false Heroes-I wish All Genius Artists were exempt From off-ness🤗
As I had been transporting travel trailers all over the US and Canada, starting at the end of 2016, it came to pass that I completed a run to Kingston, New York sometime in August (or so) of 2017. I was appropriately worn out from a day of towing, and took accommodation at the Super 8 motel there, and bedded down for the night. The time passed pretty normally. Sleep, wakefulness, shower, shave, gather belongings and put them back in the truck. Then I went in for breakfast, and I started noticing an abnormal assortment of long-haired, intense types in the breakfast room. Carrying weird-shaped cases, and wearing King Crimson t-shirts. I thought to myself, "I have never seen so many King Crimson t-shirts outside of a concert in my life". Then one of the intense types opened his case, and took out a Chapman Stick. Stranger and stranger the scene was, so I finally asked one of the KC-clad, "What is going on?" He said this is the annual week of gathering for a bass clinic that Tony Levin puts on. What are the odds that I would hit town at that time?
The soundscape leading into B'Boom is bananas. Such places in space as to be glisteningly doomtastic and gorgeous.
Their play is always powerful,as if new released song.
There,there is no nostalgy.
Their sounds knocks me down.
Thank you very much.
"Red" was in my opinion, the greatest album by any band of all time. That is saying something I know. So dark, so brooding, so incredibly awesome without parallel.
I had the privilege of seeing them perform red, one more red nightmare, and starless on their last tour. Also saw them play Fallen angel and starless in 2017. So happy about that because I never thought I'd see them live or do 69-74 material.
I agree with you. First album also ITCOTCK by 1968.KC are mostly seen in Japan. The Japanese love them. In my room also, and vinyl. Amp 150w and speaker 2x150. When 21 cenrury scytcoid man play this is awesome.😃
And solo in Starless too!
In thiese concert Tony and Bill,amazing.
Bill Bruford's Rimshot snare the Greatest of all Time !! : D
I was there and it was, and still is, absolutely amazeballs
Electronic guitar electronics make an extremely versatile instrument.
Over decades King Crimson has been the most strong player to demonstrate that.
the double trio tour was the most enjoyable king crimson experience,so far
For me, as well.
"LONG LIVE THE KING!"
I was there! ....very loud, but absolutely awesome and tight!
I always say, Bruford was the best drummer Of King Crimson
I've seen them with Gavin Harrison. That man is a beast. A beast. If he is better than Bruford, I can't really say, but he can't be far from.
Giles and Pat.
@@MajorSkalle same, just saw them again last week and was blown away. Again. New arrangements from the drum front, different than first time I saw them. Gavin is the best drummer in the world at present.
You dam right,🤘💪
@@MajorSkalle Bruford sounds heavier,saw Gavin Harrison with King Crimson last year and his playing on Starless was boring compared to Bruford's playing in the second part
It's been almost a month now since I finally achieved my dreamed KC gig attendance (São Paulo), and I am still feeling the music's impact lingering... A one in a lifetime experience I am glad I partook...
Fripp's piano guitar is off the hook!
The simpler camera style on this is a Nice contrast to the frenetically shot "Live in Japan" vid, which over accentuated the somewhat chaotic qualities of the double trio/ double trouble cacophony. Framing the whole group let's us see the six headed beast properly.
Bill Bruford .... The "King" of the Rimshot Snare sound !!! 🥁 🎼👍
Completamente de acuerdo Ronnie el mejor sonido siempre
@@pabloghio8221 Yes indeed ! 🎶✌
Lucky enough to see this tour twice. Both at Paramount Denver Co second show 5 row. I never saw Mr Bruford play again. Man this band is incredible!
Double trio line-up. an outstanding sequel to Crimson.
I Was At This Show! The Double Trio In All Of Its Glory!!
The Year is 1995. love it, thank you.
I was there!!! So great seeing this!!
My wife and I were at this show! It was great!
Happy you have your soulmate who loves this amazing music as much as you. I'm fortunate as well. It makes life so much more amazing.
Love Bill in Canary yellow attire. Reminds me of my old physics teacher showing off at parents evening.
I was also there. Brilliant show.
Thrak was an assault on all that is gentle and decent. A frantic and frenetic noise. I love it!
This is Bloody brilliant!!! 😊
This is a wall of sound
That double trio was a beast!
Awesome. Thank you for this offering so that I won't always regret not having "Taped" that performance 20 years ago.
Love this raw footage!..
All these British bands are great , so many of them 👍🇧🇸
KC may have started out as a 'British band' but the only Brits in this lineup are Fripp and Bruford...
My first KC show!!
quite astounding
Most benefiting from this video presentation is Mastellotto -- we can see how well he's doing, how much he does. Least represented is Trey, who we can see but not really make out aurally ... he stood out better when they resumed as a quartet. All, of course, are awesome.
Was 8th row or something for this show. Sooo excited to have them back! The '84 tour of the four piece was a lifetime top 3 concert for me, but this lineup was, if not quite as amazingly (and somehow tightly?!) unhinged, all the more powerful. Zellerbach Hall a little later in the tour also mindboggling. Adrian, after Thela Hun Ginjeet opener: "Anybody get hurt??"
i was at this show. i'm so happy to see this!
Please let us buy the full footage somewhere. The THRAK box set is out of print and it's impossible to get this anywhere else.
Ahi estuve, abrio el California Guitar Trio, justo cuando estuve tocando 4 meses en La Bodega en San Francisco.Fue grandioso.
Picking my favorite KC album or lineup is like trying to choose my favorite child. That said, I do have a bit of partiality to Thrak and this lineup. I've only been fortunate enough to see KC live twice, once last August with the 7-headed beast, and once in '95 at the State Theater in Ann Arbor with this lineup. I also lucked into seeing Mastellato/Belew/Levin perform in a double-trio configuration that did an entire set of KC material in a small club here in Detroit (the Magic Bag).
You had me at Bill Bruford
Wow! WOW! Excellent.
Superwow always,fun to listen!
Adrian with hair 😳
Absolutely, fabulous performance music. King Crimson is King.
To me the best KC line up, without Belew (even though he wasn't a part of the band at the beginning) the new KC is missing a biiigggg part of it's sound. This videos only make me miss him a whole lot more in the KC line up.
Bruford retired, so I get that. But Fripp does not invite Belew? That is just wrong. No disrespect to Jakko, but Belew is a legend.
Seems that Belew was excused because he refused to follow RF back to the 1970's, and I don't blame him one bit. The current project may be great for fans of the 70's, but it is a sad step sideways for the music.
quartzimaging - Red is from the 70s.
Erick Chicas I think the KC line up of the 90’s was the best. You’re the new line up without. Belew is just lacking something. Ive seen King Crimson in Philadelphia in 2014, and again in Red Bank New Jersey 2017. Both shows were very good, I just liked the Philadelphia show more. The music played was more like the original versions ( studio versions).Also, Fripp has been in this business for nearly 50 years. He can’t go on forever. It’s been 15 years since their last studio album TPTB. Something is telling me there are no more albums coming.
@@chrisbyars4422 Radical Action?
Was at this show with my girlfriend. Adrian's drilling almost sent her home prematurely.
Yeah, I could see how it could give someone a headache. Noise, and more noise! And I"m a KC fan!
Saw that tour. Rosemont Theater. California Guitar Trio opened, to boos from the crowd, who, some seemed to be bloodthirsty for the main act. Great show. One of the 3 times I got to see the mighty Crim.
So good great show great band
Same snare sound as on ctte...magic!
Every member of this band can play
Ah-ha! So *that's* why they sound so dang good! I knew it had something to do with the people and the instruments.
I was there, plaster was falling off the ceiling.
Düsseldorf, 7/5/95, eines der besten Konzerte, die ich jemals gesehen habe
Bill Bruford the Grate!!!
Robert Fripp Conductor's Angelic-Demonic Choir
I saw this tour at the Bismark in Chicago, the same night I met Lams, Moriya, and Richards for the first time.
Laurence Hawks
😂😂😂
Gerardo Erak I think that's a compliment. Good health and happiness to you Gerardo!
Well, they have now been playing together for 25 years, and released their 14th album, Komorebi, so really well! They are touring now, so you should check out the dates at cgtrio.com and find a show that you can make. The venues are much more intimate than what they played in support of KC here. It's a great experience!
I was at this show. This show blew me away. Or was it 2004? We even said hi to Pat, smoking in the back after the show!
Lord Bill I miss your playing...
This line-up is just... wow 🤯😍
There should be a college course on this Thrak.
❤❤❤
This is good to my ear hole
Beautifull wonder !!!!!! King Crimson my rock music ;) i love you
Awesome band playing awesome music (at Garcia's place!) Red 00:00:00
BBoom 00:05:13 THRAK 00:11:37
Awesome is right!!
Stunning. I don't think either the EP or LP takes on Thrak were much good, and the live mega-improv cd didn't get us anywhere either, but this is just incredible. They made it happen here, from B'Boom to improve to chunk-chunk to the end. Man.
Saw them on this tour in Washington DC, Warner Theater. While not my favorite version of this band, they kicked that night.
Qué bueno!!! Brutal!
So thats what Eugene from the walking dead was doing before the zombie apocalypse, he was one of the drummers in KC.
I was there. I remember because it was a seated show and we were all seated sideways which made for awkward viewing. :-)
I remember seeing this tour live in Atlanta and in Columbus Ohio. I'll never forget people in the audience in Columbus complaining it was too loud. Have you never heard King Crimson before people? It's the grand cacophony!
Magnum Opus Ear Candy.
King Crimson always has been multiple bong hit music.
🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪
yes @LocustPony we was there my precious
And THAT is how it's done! . . . Now go away kids, practice, jam and enjoy it.
OK boomer.
Masters...
Astonishing.
Man, the Warfield in 95...if only I were a little older. Mr. Bungle, King Crimson....would've been a wild year.
my brother Mark & i drove from San Jose to SF without tix, found a scalper with two in the balcony...
Met Yes in 1969,John smashing guy.Fulham.Gave the band 5 waistcoats,and John gave me his tambourine.great band.
Eh?
I was there and this reminded me of how hard it was to decipher and distinguish who was playing what during the newer material. Occupying the same frequencies and such made Trey’s playing disappear in the mix. I guess in comparison to how great their live sound has been on the last many tours of the 2ks this show was probably an early learning curve adjustment for a lineup that was relatively new for King Crimson using technology that like King Crimson themselves was progressive, while still retaining touches of conservatism.
In fact I do believe there is at least one drummer missing #🙂🧠🧠🧠
I had the same experience at the show I attended in NYC.
Pat at about 11 minutes in is enjoying himself !!
I was there, just a couple rows in front of the stage, center.
Perhaps I'm just not very adventurous, but I shall always return to their 1st album. I still consider it their crowning achievement. The constellations were rewritten that night.
McDonald and Giles were missed.
the noah's ark of bands!
J'ai déjà fait pas mal de commentaires sur KC, don je e dirai que : SU-PER-BE !! Incroyable groupe, incroyables musiciens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw them at Zellerbach in Berkeley sometime around...
October, I think. Plenty of Bay Area shows by the Double Trio!
so who dropped the ThrAK? how did they miss it so bad? I think Bruford's variation threw at least belew and maybe even fripp off somehow.. but it was so awkward cuz, i'm thinking the drums had it right and everyone else just stopped....I think the vibe on stage must have been awful for about 10 seconds... Belew really shines through with that slightly 'pretty' solo mid way through... still a really awesome clip... the b'boom was tits !!
Any 1996 videos!?
It sounds like Bill's playing Conundrum from about 14:45 to about 15:25.
Let My type in ☮️
I press after the reply.???
Two groups in one🤗
I took a train from Detoit to S.F, to see this show
god i love KC, but by that time in 1995 there was another touring experimental band called Mr. Bungle with their new album Disco Volante, and their shows by that time 1995, 1996 they do almost the same performance
I don't know how I missed this show! This venue is only like a mile and a half away!!! Fick! I saw enough Cocteau Twins, Lush, Pixies, Echo, New Order, Orbital and PIL shows there! How did I miss this in 1997???? WTFK's? It's all bad on me!
1995. And you aren't the only one who wonders now "Why didn't I go then?" (They came around again in 1996; still no idea why I didn't go).
Still my favorite KC line up. I never understood why Fripp found it to be frustrating. The end result was magic.
WATCH OUT ADE THERES A BRITISH GENTLEMEN BEHIND YOU ARMED
