- Cover by: The Claypool Lennon Delirium
(2016-08-05 - Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival)
Original:
Song: The Court of the Crimson King
Artist: King Crimson
Album: In the Court of the Crimson King
Year: 1969 - Hudba
Just to cover King Crimson shows mighty balls
It's not Claypool's first time though, but yep. Any artist is immediately more credible when they know "the musician's band".
in the months following the deaths of Greg Lake and John Wetton, my band would preface our closing song w/ the verses of 21st Century Schizoid Man; we'd planned on adding the full song to our regular set, but after the death of Greg Lake, we decided we wanted to do at least a bit of a tribute to KC, so we bumped the verses into our set instead of rushing the full song. Luckily we got better at it by the time John Wetton passed, but it wasn't exactly a happy time, all three of us were big fans of King Crimson.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this interpretation. A mighty fine tribute, indeed. I first heard the original on an AM radio station when it first came out, I had just turned thirteen. I was enchanted instantly, although my tastes were immature and unsophisticated. A few years later, I heard the whole album, and that was it for me. I adore KC.
True
@@beekay5914 NO, King Crimson was never played on AM in 1969 or anytime, Court of KC was played on FM in 1969 upon release.
The keyboard player is wearing a cape? okay I'm in.
Holy crap, I missed that completely. ((must invent way to double-like this!))
two-parts Rick Wakeman & one-part Leon Russell (RIP)
Keyboard players are the only members allowed to wear capes. It says so in the unofficial rock and roll handbook you are given when you get good enough and to a certain level of fame
Also - Mellotron
wakeman harkens back to
To think that people are still jamming to a song released over 50 years ago is a testament to King Crimson's greatness! Magnificent
Yeah, but people still like AC/DC too... your logic is flawed.
It has been one of my favorite songs for well over 40 years. Along with The Mouse Police Never Sleep from Jethro Tull and Highway Star by Deep Purple.
Still listening to grateful dead
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc
@@Metal-Possum AC/DC in their Bon Scott days were pretty awesome actually...
The drummer absolutely nailed it.
You don’t get this gig unless you’re a crazy good drummer
I believe that's Paulo Baldi of Cake.
@@rikvanhorn9714 Thank you.
I said the same thing to myself. Superb drumming. Excellent.
So hard to believe that Sean is now older than his father, but he's truly blossomed as a musician.
I couldn't get into ANY of Primus OR Sean's prior projects (except his noise power band with Yoko!)....
...but I LOVE CLD, b/c SEAN AND LES BALANCE OUT THE ANNOYING THINGS ABOUT THE OTHER.
Sean is SINCERE and SWEET, and counters Les' smarmy trying-too-hard-to-be-WEIRD...
...and LES makes Sean's middling sweetness MORE ARTSY!
WIN /WIN
He’s a Lennon
Indeed
@@ralex3697 i just hope he doesn't turn out like his dad did
@gary o'leary i just meant the whole being a shitty person thingy
I like the "no hair cut" policy of the band.
As well as the "must wear a hat" policy!
Shaving optional..
Fashion tips. Really ?
Bloody hippies.
As if that is a new thing in the realm of rock music.
My journey with Les Claypool brought me here. Until recently, I never heard Sean Lennon as a musician. Totally blown away by how talented he is.
I know. I thought it was Julian ("Jude")
Cheers! Same here
I've followed Sean his whole life. He's a student of music, and I think from teachings of his mother and knowing his father's legacy he has intentionally avoided super stardom and at the same time enjoyed a music career... SIMPLY AMAZING when you think about it. The limelight has it's costs.
Ya your not alone .cool suprise thow🎉
I got to work with him as a security guard at one of his shows and he was one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met in my time doing the job. He really is just a stand up guy
LISTEN TO MORE KING CRIMSON PEOPLE
early KC 69-76
It's just works!
Actually, no. Listen to ALL King Crimson. There is no bad era.
Also, if you're a fan of Les Claypool, you're probably going to enjoy Adrian's albums anyway.
And Discipline. And The Power to Believe is pretty good too tbh.
I was four years old when I first heard Sean's dad's band on the radio...
I'm 61 now and can't believe I'm listening to Sean cover a classic King Crimson song...and nailing it..!
Man the drummer is nailing this!!!!! Like the interlude being bass instead of flute, a great cover of a great tune.
frank alfar i didnt expect it to be that good at first
@@KingCrimson-420 *KINGU CRIMSOS NO NORIOKU*
Unreal feel & timing by the drummer. They’re all great musicians individually and super tight together
I was thinking the same thing about the drummer..🔥
So tight, you’re right That guy killed it
Bass solo ---> shows everyone except bassist. Well done
Train Of Thought the bass player in yes is on the same level as him they are both very good at playing the bass
The bassist is Lee Claypool of Primus.
I think that camera men are trained to film anyone except the bass player in the event of a bass solo lol!
Even the mighty Les Claypool is not immune to this general order of bad camera.
Despite the cameraman, I will remember this as the beginning of the return of Prog Rock!
There's some good shots of Les during the keyboard solo though. LOL.
Ayreon PFP, immediately like
I saw TCLD play in San Luis Obispo just prior to the pandemic. It was the best show I've seen in decades. I went hoping they might play Thela Hun Jingeet. They played no less than three long Crimson tributes!!! I was over the moon, child. Should I accidentally meet either Les or Sean outside of one of their shows, I will express my gratitude in as respectful and sincere a way as I can.
on the verses where Sean is singing, it's like seeing The Beatles covering this freshly released tune by this up-and-coming young band named King Crimson in 1969.
on the verses where Les is singing, it's like hearing a Waters-led Pink Floyd covering this tune ten years later.
and Les is wearing Sean's father's glasses.
what a mindfuck.
MillardFillmore thats bullshit and you know it. Sounds waaaaaayyy more like his dad.
That's because Claypool is directly copying his vocal style.
Well put
'like seeing the beatles'...? You fuckin idiot. This Lennon can't sing and he can't fuckin play. Quite what Les Claypool is doing with this poor little rich boy is anyone's guess.
M.McK you seem like a fun person at parties and family gatherings
Probably one of the best covers I've heard of Court Of The Crimson King, and that's coming from a guy who's a huge fan of the original album.
THE best cover of any King Crimson I've ever heard.
I saw KC live in '69. They were actually the warm up band. Blew me away to the point I can't even recall who the top billed band were that I bought a ticket to see!
How many covers of Court of the CK have you heard?
welp who isn't.
@@BritIronRebel I am literally dying with envy.
@@davidemura4444 I hope you can recover and live a healthy life.
Bloody Great… as a diehard Beatles/King Crimson Fanatic I nod my head and smile…..
I get the feeling that many young people in the audience don't get how awesome a rendition this is. It makes me want to cry!
adore this song! was named Zoe Crimson after King Crimson,, what a great cover! holy hell! 💙💙💙
your parents are awesome
They changed your second name? What
@@gamesmaster1060 No, I would guess it's her middle name.
I just love these guys. Sean sounds just like his dad. You can hear John's voice come sing through him, but at the same time, has coming to his own. His daddy is looking down and with a smile smile smile! He's one of the proudest daddies in Rock and roll heaven. And Les, well he is truly great at anything and everything that he does. He is definitely King of his domain and of his art. Together they make one exceptionally original band.
Sean's voice is higher. He has always sounded more like Robert Schneider to me, or 1966-period JL with varispeed. I love Sean's voice. He doesn't sound much like JL. Maybe he doesn't want to.
🎉
He sounds more like his mom. JULIAN sounds like their father
Wish I had seen these guys but I had the huge pleasure of seeing the John Wetton King Crimson then 2 decades later saw Robert Fripp bring out the double trio King Crimson. They are a genre of one and prog and experimental rock titans, so glad to see one of their songs done so well. Great stuff...
Excellent. The drumming of Giles was always the standout on this track. This fellow does a very nice cover.
Yeah, Giles' drummig on the original was epic and so integral to the overall effect. I remember buying the album in Cob Records show n Porthmadog- I only needed to listen to one track and that was it, Sold ever since!
I know, right? Those fills he does between chorus halfs are just epic. Tough style to emulate but this guy has a really good go at it.
Everything old is new again. As luck would have it I first heard this song back in '69 at the Marquee in London.
I was also at the Marquee that night.... one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
lucky, I was still -5 years old
My hopes are high for a prog rock renaissance.
Was that prior to their performance at Hyde?
Oh wow
I recently saw this concert in DC... It was amazing how the audience was dancing and cheering along until this song came up... When the first notes were played the audience went silent. This silence would hold throughout the rest of the song as the audience was just mesmerized. The applause at the end was deafening!
scooter663 they should hear the original then
I saw Crimson on the THRAK tour. I don't think I blinked even once. We went to Denny's after the show. Ordering larks' tongues in aspic... was by far the nerdiest moment of my life
I just saw them in DC last night. Yes - mesmerizing.
The drummer is incredible. THIS IS AMAZING!
RIP GREG LAKE original singer with KC at the time
What a voice Greg Lake had!!!
Huh?
@@sz5876 KING CRIMSON huh?
he would be disappointed as fuck that these people are using autotune on stage
I was truly blessed to see them play this live .
Bass in the last minute 😶
perfect blend of keeping the spirit of the original and adding a personal touch to it
Sometimes life gets overwhelming and you ask yourself "What's the point, why do I keep going on?". Then this happens and life is set straight and it all seems to make sense. LOVE IT! Thank you!!
I really needed cheering up, and today it was this clip that did it for me. (The last two days, it was CZcams clips of Focus performing "Hocus Pocus" live.)
Great to see respectable covers of our classics. Yes, drummer just simply nailed it! Les one hell of a bass player! Keyboards just great!..Notice the crowd's faces in "awe" LISTENING TO THIS?? Wish Sean's guitarwork at the end lasted at least 10 minutes longer!!
I've never heard a better rendition as a cover before. Sean and Claypool do a HELLUVA job . I LOVE THIS.. One of my favorite King crimson songs too.
Completely agree!
Sean is so much underrated , everything he does is just amazing ; from solo ; to Cibo Mayo , the ghost of a saber tooth tiger to this ....just great .
has great bloodline in him
His father would be proud!
Greg Lake as well.
I remember reading somewhere that John Lennon really appreaciated In The Court Of The Crimson King (the album), and he confessed his loved ones that he wished he had written it. Perhaps this motivated Sean to make a cover.
@@PepeLuguillo damn really?
I remember when Brian Hillary brought the newly released King Crimson album home, we listened. He always had the very best taste in all things. I miss him even today, so many years later. RIP Brian! Thank you for this faithful and creative rendition!!
The gods of rock make decent babies sometimes
Amazing song by King Crimson. One of the greatest progressive rock albums ever.
This is suprisingly good cover version.
Oh.my.god..... I absolutely love the original and it's more than glorious to find this!!! Exceptional work, as always!!!!
I loved that part when the song was playing.
It takes a lot of love, talent, balls and devotion to dive into the King Crimson catalog. This is beautiful.
Such a killer band, hope they keep performing!!
BEYOND SOUNDGARDEN, THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING band since my childhood. I'm 52. I welcome musical suggestions...
Ive seen several bands over the years (try) to cover various Crimson songs, this is the most justice I’ve seen given live for sure.
If the haze of marijuana smoke over the crowd is any indication, this must have been even more mind-blowing in person.
You should hear it at my house😁😋😁
It was
Indica-sean?
Karl the fog in the house.
David Axelord stop u Dick u made me spit my beer reading ur comment
Saw King Crimson mid eighties one of the best shows I ever saw this band did a good job
This is the best cover I've ever heard of ITCOTCK. They nail everything: the vocals, instrumentation, tone, and all the little things that make the original such a weird and amazing piece of timeless music.
Great version. They are all exceptional, but the drummer is killing it.
I want to melt into LSD with this cover
My god, that must have been amazing to be there. Would kill to see this performed live.
Mark David Chapman enters the chat.
i love this song. and this is a damn good cover of it. i love how claypool sings the low part. i give it a 10.
That was a great cover. I still prefer the melotron over that synth. The Drummer really nailed the Michael Giles drum part.
I prefer the Mellotron as well. Outstanding cover of great classic song. Long live psychedelia!
sounds incredible Sean!
That vintage progrock bass solo is awesome.
I absolutely LOVE this collaboration of musicians. The material they have written and the covers theyve chosen are outstanding and worthy of being brought into the next generation of listeners and potential musicians. Les and Lennon together are like magic. Fantastic. I hope to witness this project LIVE at some point. Les now holds the spot of most viewed artist in my long list of concerts. 11 times in various bands. Long Live the odd ones.
Oh man, when the chorus descends like that 😍 gives it such a haunting vibe
I wonder, if their concert got demonetized because of playing a cover
this song is so damn powerful. Nowadays it mainly associates with the horrors of the future described in 'Children of Men' for me. Long live Fripp. Long live Lennon. Long live Claypool.
Glory to The Sun, ave Morning Star. All the trumpets sing for the Mighty King Crimson.
Oh my god this is so awesome
Mind blown.
I’m so glad this music still dwells in the hearts and minds of young musicians,...though the guys are not young (I saw Les in the 90s) hopefully this music will be with us as long as we are here.
best cover what i have ever heard
Wow! Sean Lennon looks and sounds exactly like his dad! It's almost like we get to see John perform again! Amazing! RIP John Lennon and God bless Sean! Love him! ❤✌️👍
This is what a cover should be of an iconic song!
Claypool finally admits he's heard King Crimson!
I heard them about 2 years ago, and knew it was Sean Lennon. They are a great band! Great cover of this classic prog masterpiece.
Nice. Awesome classic art rock tune. Timeless. Great cover by rocks weirdest band. Great fit.
Sean sounds very much like his Father both in playing style, as well as the tone and pitch of his voice 🙂
Robert FRIPP :the mastermind behind 5 0 +years of the greatest music of progressive rock history.Fripp has been the vanguard of the Avant-garde since its conception.And Sean Lennon does justice to a hypnotic Greg Lake vocal and John would be proud.Les Claypool is always a bass virtuoso.Quite likely, the BEST cover I have
ever heard.And the rearrangement of the masterpiece would make Mr.Fripp smile!Bravissimo!🤓🎼✨🙏🏼✨🎼
They pulled it off greatly. What a combo of talent. Look in forward to more.
Absolutely spectacular. What a great union between UK and USA. Thank you Ignacio R! ✌
les claypool plays greatest bass solo of all time shows sean lennon
Loved this song so much!!!! Have been a long time fan of King Crimson thank you Less thank you Sean!!!💛
Wonder if most of the crowd even know the song!
Wow just wow .... im a huge claypool fan but i think he found his band how are these guys not number one.
It seems like Julian and Les are out to preserve that amazing era...thanks guys!
Go ahead and buy the 10" EP "Lime And Limpid Green" that features this tune and Pink Floyd's "Astronome Domine". Yes, this performance of King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King", is the best live cover I have yet heard. Sean Lennon is getting really talented at many instruments, notably guitar and drums, but his song writing is incredible. If you can find it, pick up his other group's LP, "Midnight Sun". Name of that band is THE GHOST OF A SABER TOOTH TIGER, OR "GOASTT". Side one of the LP is an incredible set of songs that are quite psychedelic. Good Stuff!!!
Supernatural interdimensional plasma laser sound frequencies spaced out of parallel worlds and universes with hyperspectral cosmic matrix construct music
Crimson forever!!!...............great band.
Grew up with this melancholy gem; makes me cry half the time I hear it.
This is such a great fucking cover. I've had to have watched it like ten times now
He looks like his father, but is a brilliant composer, too. And this cover is great.....! God, I imagine how it could be if John would be on the same stage at this moment?! With his son...a dream...maybe he was?
Sean is truly a composer as good as any working in film or elsewhere today. For years I've been a huge admirer---I bought Cibo Matto's work in which he was involved, his Into the Sun, Friendly Fire (and saw him live at Smith's Olde Bar in 2007 when he was touring for it), and his GOASTT work, and now this collaboration with Claypool simply tops it all off. I hope he keeps this up forever. Bravo, Sean.
Omg! I love this band! They dared and they nailed the vibe!
Such a legendary song, it’s one of my favorites, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this cover, they nailed it.
Se me cruzan los cables imaginando un mix entre los KC y los Beatles interpretando este legendario tema. Muchos puntos en común.
The drummer is spot on !!!!! Great playing....,.,. this is so tight... shows their professional dedication to feeling every note and every beat.
Nice drum work.
I'm speechless.. This is just epic.
Very nice. Kudos to the drummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many things I like about this version-the mellotron, whether real or synthesized, is vital to the song, and well-played. Vocals are great, and there's a bit of humor to offset the majesty. An all time favorite song as long as I can remember.
For the past decade or so when KC tours they use a synth Mellotron - a really nice one, developed in conjunction w/ the Mellotron company themselves. Sounds just like the real thing.
Very cosmic cover!
That was freaking amazing! That is all I can say.
this is the best shit ive heard all year
Les, the Shiner and the whole band did an awesome job on this masterpiece.John is smiling with pride.
Wow!! Great perfomance...and fine camera work for a change..a good change
This is A great rendition!!! wow!
Les' homages to old bands are sarcastic and sweet at the same time. Lennon is a good balance for him.
The dude on drums is doing an amazing job!!!
I saw this live in Hollywood. Amazing!
I have listened to the original thousands of times.... I like this version too....... thanks:)
who is the guy doing a credible michael giles on the drum kit?
A quick Google search gives me the name Paulo Baldi. You're right, guy knocks it out of the park!
drummer from Cake
whaaaaaaaaaat I didn't know they had him thats fucking tight
Yeah he’s pretty good. The three drummer setup is sort of bloated. Even though Gavin Harrison is a monster
T Lonto - I saw them with the 3 drummer lineup in Montreal 2016, it was so bad I couldn’t believe it. Easily the most disappointing concert I’ve ever seen, I could go on for 1000 words, I won’t waste my time. This Cover is amazing, I love it.
This is this greatest music duo since like ever!
So cool those guys celebrate together !!
