- Short-lived English supergroup founded in 1977 by John Wetton, Bill Bruford (ex-King Crimson), Eddie Jobson and Allan Holdsworth. For the second and last studio album, Holdsworth left and Bruford was replaced by Terry Bozzio. They were active between 1977-1979, and reformed in 2012 with Eddie Jobson and John Wetton, with guest musicians. Wetton died in 2017.

Eddie Jobson is an INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN! He is one of the more important musicians of the whole Prog Rock era!
RIP John Wetton 🙏✝️🙏
RIP Allan Holdsworth
@@lucasjankowski7117 definitely...🙏
Their debut album U.K. is my all time favorite prog rock album. Top notch song writing and musicianship throughout. I can always listen to the whole album without skipping. I still listen to it from time to time thsese days.
absolutely
Agree
Hear hear. It is fantastic.
100% for sure!
The production value on the first UK album is outstanding especially for 1978. The mix is perfect. Everyone has got a great tone dialed up. It’s fantastic. I like Danger Money too, but Wetton and Bruford together is magic.
Eddie was the ultimate multi-keyboard player. Amazing.
The UK picture quality is the best it's ever been.
John Wetton and Allan Holdsworth are no longer with us, but their music is immortal.
Thank you for the wonderful music during my impressionable youth.
RIP Allan Holdsworth. Holdsworth in a rare moment playing a Firebird! Never even heard about this, yet he just sounds like Allan. Never heard a more original, unique guitarist, ever. I love Terry Bozzio, but hearing Bruford then Bozzio, UK just isn’t the same animal. Bruford and Holdsworth raised UK to ridiculously high levels of Progressive music credibility. When they left, it was no longer as amazingly impressive. I saw them live in 1979 after the personnel changes, it was life changing, but nothing like that first album.
Surprised to see him with the Firebird. I'd agree that Allan always sounds like Allan regardless of the axe around his neck, but it should be noted that they are miming to the studio version so you are not hearing how he sounds (it's not said that he played the firebird on the record, or on the tour). All pics I've seen of Holdsworth playing with U.K. is him playing a strat through a marshall.
"yet he just sounds like Allan"
Yes because he's miming to the studio recording lol
Truth
He's amazing. His solo could be Patrick Moraz on a Moog. So smooth. He said UK burned him out and he had to leave, in an interview.
They're miming. On the recording he's playing his modded Strat. That's the guitar you're actually hearing.
When people talk about Super Groups over the last 60 years, this was IT! The caliber of talent is staggering here.
Alan Holdsworth R.I.P. John Wetton R.I.P. Bill Bruford and Eddie Jobson. Superb musicianship.
64 here and saw them back in 1978, amazing!!!
Jobson was one of the most underrated musicians around. How many people are both a brilliant keyboardist and violinist? Yet, he's rarely mentioned.
Yeah, listen track Metamorphosis from Curved Air album Air Cut . Jobson was only 17 but what a talent already.
And composer too, he co-wrote all hese songs.
@@user-cj4df7vs7w I will go and listen to that right away Thank you! 👍
Also in Roxy Music.
Thanks very much.. John, missed, always.

È vero Eddie JOBSON è anche un grande violinista!!!!!!! E qui fra i violinisti più straordinari potrei citare anche, DARRYL WAY, FRED FRITH, JEAN LUC PONTY, GRAHAM SMITH, MAURO PAGANI,LUCIO FABBRI, DAVID LA FLAMME, ANGELO BRANDUARDI, ROBBIE STEINHARDT, RAY SHULMAN , GREG BLOCH , DAVID CROSS , STUART GORDON etc etc!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for these videos. I am 64 years old and still a fan of this band, their music and their musicians. This music still hits me in the heart today. From a time when real music was still made.
Plenty of 'real' music being produced 2023/4
To zespół z najwyższej pólki.Mam Mogul Trash i co tam wyprawia na basie 20 letni Wetton przechodzi ludzkie pojęcie.A w Krakowie miałem przyjemność poznać Johna i Eddiego.Mili ludzie
I am 66, and me too :)
@@billbart6201 The geniuinely new and non-derivative music ended around the 1990s. Occasional gems after that but far fewer than was happening before. Maybe people relying too much on technology and familiar chords and scales, too much reliance on a repetitive beat to play against. Could also be connected to how materialistic and zombie-like society has become, and how IQ and innovation in all fields has steadily been declining since the 1960s. In short music like everything else is in decline and awaiting the crash of this civilisation, so we can build a better one from the ashes again; happened many times before and arguably we had superior ones previously.
64 Years young here as well mate....Keep the Groove going!!!!
Seen these guys when they came to the Cleveland Agora in 78 ? Not knowing what to expect. Whoa !!!!
Profoundly impacted me since. Outstanding musicianship. Some of the best Prog Music ever.
Can't stop watching ..
Their first album is truly a masterpiece. It is still available on vinyl but unfortunately it is very expensive. In any case, every prog fan should have such an amazing discography
Couldn't agree with you more I've forgotten about it lately and this reminded me how much I used to listen to this many years ago
Just bought both right now
@@krisscanlon4051may I ask you how much you paid these vinyls?
I loved UK, still own all three albums and play them regularly.
Man, what a group. Both versions. Bruford and Bozzio were a study in contrasts but each guy earned the gig.
No doubt Terry had balls
he played with Zappa, he is very creative and played beautifully, no doubt about it
@@davidmaxwelloswald2220Talent
Bar the drumming controversy. The original line up with Holdsworth was the best
@@jefflevinson669 i gotta agree, it’s so , so,, I can’t even explain
After hearing this album for the first time on Klipsch La Scala speakers, I went on to see Allan Holdsworth perform live 14 times. So humble and cool. We didn't get to see the 1978 UK tour.....our VW bug BROKE DOWN on route 80, and we rode home squished in the cab of a tow truck ( 3 adult prog fans ). That disappointed me to this day decades later...
Eddie Jobson is monster on keyboards... ranks alongside Emerson and Wakeman. And excels at violin...perhaps most accomplished musician in prog.
For all its faults the live music footage is the greatest thing about CZcams.
I’ve never heard of this band! Holdsworth and Crimson of course but what an absolute treat to still discover new music.
The quality of musicianship is way up there which has me wondering why I haven’t heard of them before now. This group is legit!
Their supreme highnesses, John Wetton, Eddie Jobson, Alan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford and Terry Bozzio.
Miss you, John and Alan.
One of my favourite groups of musicians. These albums were a constant for years. I finally got to see U.K Jobson/Wetton on the final tour in London even bumped into Wetton at the tube station the morning after. Such a shame there was not more music from them.
Thanks for uploading man! I was at the Danger Money Tour in 1979 and since then one of my top 5 bands ever and one of the few bands that still can trigger a euphoric feel in my brain without any drugs.
gott, since 1979, still one of your Top 5 bands ? Really ?
euh, I mean, really ?
@@lesimprosdulezardvert1342 really
I can see UK as a top 5 band. They were basically an early supergroup. I totally agree with the euphoric feeling. I get it too. Especially on the first album, but I love Danger Money too.
@@TheSteveSteele Agree. I grew up in the seventies and was first (and I still am) a fan of Hendrix, Stones, The Who, Cream, Neil Young, Santana, Bowie, Free, P. Green-Fleetwood Mac, Spooky Tooth etc.
My love for symphonic rock-.progrock (or whatever it is called) started with the album Days of Future Past by The Moody Blues. From that day I am addicted to Yes, the old Genesis, UK, King Crimson, Druid, Greenslade, Pink Floyd, Solution, Grobschnitt, Van der Graaf Generator, Saga, IQ, Steve Wilson-Porcupine Tree and so on. Jazz rock- fusion, Japan and Depeche Mode and a few synth bands like Tangerine Dream are my other addictions since the eighties. Injected through my ears on a daily basis. The best addiction there is.
How do you compare U.K. w/o Bruford and Holdworth vs the re-formation of Kind Crimson with Bruford, Belew, and Levin?
This band is pure brilliance. Beyond most artists ability to produce. UK was and still is music for a different time and ageless.
Never seen them alive. Great band. RIP John Wetton
Many thanks for this video
@@user-jx7ln7ll5c You're seeing all of them alive in the video.
Bill Bruford is still alive, and I think Eddie Jobson is, too.
Seeing them LIVE is another matter...
@@Stratmanable english is not my native, sorry, but hope i was understood
That's the best video quality I've seen of the first promo clip
John Wetton era um ótimo vocalista, líder da banda Asia, Descanse em paz😢😢
It's sad that Allan didn't enjoy his time with UK. But he blew my mind with his solo and guitar work on this album which still stands the test of time
Check out Tory Slusher. She is better than Holdsworth. More musical, anyway.
thank you for posting this. I hadn't seen all of these. UK are truly a supergroup and its a shame they didnt continue and make more albums...but we have got the music they did make. I would have preferred the Wetton/Jobson/Bozzio UK to go on to make more albums rather than have Asia. Oh well. thank you Sound Voyager
Asia's first album is a masterpiece...
I saw the original lineup in Reno. They were amazing. Sadly, they opened for Van Halen and found themselves beeing booed off the stage. I love both bands, but that was hard to take! RIP John Wetton and Alan Holdsworth. Seeing the two of you live was quite remarkable!
Booed by VH fans??! Wow, VH fans…what a bunch of losers
Absolute legends and one of the great prog-rock bands of all time. Thanks for the compilation!
That performance of Caesar’s Palace Blues is astonishing!
What a great ensemble, in both iterations. I love the Bruford/Holdsworth band, and the other, with Jobson and Bossio, is also incredible. Just perfect. RIP, Mr. Wetton.
Thank YOU for posting these video clips, some of them I've not seen before, I just loved this brilliant band in both versions Cheers! RIP Alan Holdsworth and John Wetton!
Awesome music. I had they’re first album and saw them in concert. Was blown away. My drumming skills were seriously challenged after this. A very original and unique album for all times.
Qué alegría encontrar este video de UK !!! Excelente trabajo!!! Banda insuperable en música de fusión. Así como MILES DAVIS fue pionero en el jazz-rock, UK en el…"rock-jazz"!! (así, "entre comillas") No sé si logro transmitir mi sensación!!!
De nuevo…EXCELENTES MÚSICOS EXCELENTES COMPOSITORES!!! Lástima que duraron poco!!! (solo dos álbumes)
Viva la música!!
🙏🏻🎵🙏🏻
Три.
I had the chance to see them live as the opening act for Jethro Tull. What an amazing night that was! I feel so lucky to have been there!
it was wild...
Rush fan here. I love U.K. 's music.
I had forgotten how good this was
First album is one of the greatest prog albums, with Holdsworth redefining rock guitar for the next generation. 2nd Cd, I can take ir leave, but great playing as you would expect.
It's great sound of Eddy's CS80 for In the dead of night! Even without Alan and Bill, it's a great violin performance!
Wow.. I am a progressive Rock freak, but I never heard of this band! Thank you for uploading!!!
Check out the first album... Best prog album ever 🖖🎶🖖
The other day I heard a fusion band I knew all the individual players in it but never heard of the band...lol
Never heard of this band either. I'm embarrassed! It's great! Thank you for uploading!
Wow I can't believe you're a progressive rock freaking never heard of UK! Glad you found them, everybody should listen to UK!
After you buy the UK albums, get Bruford’s One of a Kind. Both have Bill Bruford and Allen Holdsworth. UK had John Wetton and the Bruford band had Jeff Berlin. Two of the greatest rock fusion and jazz fusion bassist ever. Then Eddie Johnson playing keys and violin in UK, with Dave Stewart on keys. Holdsworth played violin on the Bruford albums. One of a Kind is an logical extension of the first UK album, and you can really hear it.
Con qué serenidad toca BILL BRUFORD !!! Claramente se puede apreciar su MAESTRÍA!!
No necesita demostrar nada. Verlo y escucharlo son la evidencia!!! Y sus compañeros…al igual que él, son otros dotados de la música!!! 🙏🏻🎵🙏🏻
A veritable galaxy of stars all in one band. Incredible.
First time seeing U.K. Live! Thanks! I only know Eddie Jobson from his work with FZ. He's wonderful on keyboards and his transparent violin in this collection! Holdsworth and Buford are legends! Liked and subscribed!
Great great great video….thank you for the upload…one of my favorite bands of all time…
Thanks for uploading this!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
UK video clip is very rare. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you! Finnally a good quality video of In The Dead Of Night!
Wow!
Thank you for posting these epic performances.
Thanks for sharing. Rare live records of great prog supergroup in decent video quality
Eddie Van Halen looked up to Allan Holdsworth as a guitarist.
What a gem. Master piece. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for posting. This really takes me back. John bill then they went on to asia!
This is THE best sound/video I have ever seen !
I saw this live in Detroit 78 or 79 with Tull! THANK YOU for posting this epitome of coolness magic !
Bozzio and Jobson reunited after both playing in Frank Zappa's band at the same time on the late 70's. Such consistently top notch musicians in this band.
I wore the grooves out off of the first U.K. album when I was in college. Bruford is my all-time favorite drummer. Thank you for posting those videos.
Fantastic band and massively overlooked.⚡️
EXCELENTE!!!! Gracias, buenísima recopilación de vídeos con calidad 👍🏻🤗🇸🇻🇪🇦🙏🏻
Thanks v.much for these - what an amazing band they were 👍
Check out Terry bozzio the one drummer you've missed😅
NICE! Thanks for the upload!
One of the most underrated prog rock bands. Thanks for posting. Great videos.
Thank-you for posting these videos, while their time was short, their influence is still being felt today! I wish they would have done that third album John wanted to do? Things could have been different especially with the next group he was in Asia , but it just wasn't to be. We still have two very fine albums as well as a great live album!❤🎸😎👍
Nice having these different performance (mimes) altogether in one place. Thanks for posting. Saw them in trio form in Philly at the Spectrum. They headlined and Horslips opened for them.
Listened tot he infamous free concert at Penn's Landing broadcast live when they were a quartet. Should've went to that show too.
Night After Night here is live- not mimed. Maybe you knew that, not sure....
Who else did you catch at The Spectrum ? Loved that place.... seen the good/great shows & many a Flyers games too.
I watched Denis Savard & Guy LaFleur skate there- greatest pure skaters I'd EVER witnessed at that venue. Plus Doc, Darryl, Moses & Toney. I wanted to puke when they tore it down. Also saw a shit-ton of Phantoms games !!
Memories; thank ya !!!
🚬😎👍
Wow, dude. Thanks for uploading. This is fu**ing awesome.
Thanks, man! I never saw Allan with a firebird before! 🤩
Hard to get beyond their first album. When Holdsworth split, a LOT was gone from the chemistry. Although it gave us, Allan Holdsworth, the artist. The I O U album is light years beyond this.
Beneficent upload, thanks
I love this then n now 2023 san Francisco listening forever 💙💙💙 thank you Sound Voyager 😻
John Wetton and Ray Shulman are my 2 favorite bassists. Both had such a powerful distinct tone.
Ray awesome musician. Like all the Gentle Giant members, Ray was a multi instrumentalist.
Such a shame that there isn't actual 'live playing' footage of ther original line-up with Bruford and Holdsworth...
Their album is an absolute masterpiece
The first video of the original members of UK, Allan Holdsworth is playing a Gibson Firebird.
Another interesting thing about that Firebird, is that no matter what type of guitar Holdsworth is playing, always has that really thick tube tone, considering that particular Gibson guitar I described as tone deaf.
I thought Allan was underutilized in UK, but I still enjoy that lp. I wouldn’t mind having a go at a Firebird as long as the original price was magically restored.
it wasn't live. and with that much gain, it could be any guitar...
Feliz de escuchar y ver esta ɓanda que conoci decadas atras con la base ritmica de King Crimson. A mi humilde entender B. Bruford el mejor baterista de rock progresivoque escuche
So good, great performances here in this video. Progressive Rock at it's best. Trouble is they make it look so easy a lot of the time.
Supergroup 🤩
Thanks for the memory lane of UK!!
Asia and BEYOND
The complet live show please!!!! Thanks!!! Bozzio back vocal so great. Drum Synth Bass Wetton vocal wow !!!
So thankful for this band and saw them in both 2011 and 2012 in two different Boston venues. Most excellent experience indeed!
Saw them at the Santa Monica Civic on their first tour. Amazing.
Amazing moments, thanks!
Loved UK - got all their releases and got the chance to see them when they opened for Tull back in the day. LOVED IT!
When I first heard it , I was totally hooked ! Alan's guitar sound blew me away. I didn't know if it was a keyboard or not. The whole band was amazing actually.
Unbelievable! These guys held themselves to a standard of musicianship seldom matched. You can feel the power and the beauty of their music coming through so brightly it gives you goosebumps. If music is a sonic palette, these gentlemen are all Rembrandts, every one!
Bought 'U.K.' and 'Danger Money' upon their releases in 1978 and 1979.
Have loved U.K. since the first album and still listen to them frequently. Pure genius.
Loved Bill Bruford in early Yes and his own solo ventures. Brilliant!
And what about Bruford in the last King Crimson line-up?
Wow !!!
Great band !
Hugs from Brazil 🎉
これはヤバい‼️
アップ大感謝です。
泣ける〜
so good !
I think I still have a live album by them, UK live 1979, it is an album I really like, it features them as a 3 piece with Wetton, Jobson & Bozzio.
This band was really something. Love their first couple of albums. Too bad they couldn’t have stayed together long enough to put out more than just 2. But Wetton would find success on a much larger scale with Asia.
Fantastique musique. Les 70s furent une période riche en créations de toutes sortes, en particulier pour le prog rock & jazz fusion
I Saw the original U.K twice once in Jersey & once in NYC & then the Trio once in NYC both were Great but the original band was off the charts .. incredible ! I also saw Bruford / One of a kind tour in a small club in Asbury Park / NJ that was also mindblowing 🤯
Wetton looked like a real rock star on Nothing To Lose. And his vocal performance was awesome. I think it was in UK where Wetton started to form the more pop-oriented songwriting style that made Asia's first album so huge.
Yeah love this band. Music like this just doesn't happen today.
Fantastick! Love JW fans! I have to say this is intelligent and complicated music, and JW is no 1 !
Brilliant. Saw these guys in Seattle in support of their first album. Wish I understood better then the brilliance I was witnessing.
What a band!
UK,una,tremenda banda con cuatro musicos talentosos,lastima que tuvo una vida tan breve,tengo sus dos albunes gracias por compartir este video,saludos
...sus albums en vivo son también alucinantes, con ambas formaciones...
Saw them in 2013 on Cruise to the Edge. Fantastic.
I still have this vinyl I'll have to get it out and take a listen it's been a while
Superb thank you for sharing😂
Posseggo la loro discografia sia in vinile che in cd; senz'altro uno dei più belli e validi supergruppi del prog!
