Love the massive amounts of gear in this clip. It seems that Bozzio has always had a big kit and Eddie's rig probably takes three articulated trucks to deliver. Love it!
U.K was my first Rock n Roll Show that i saw live in Puerto Rico back in 1979 this lineup. No Words can describe that experience changed my life forever. The Next year My Mom¡ 🙏🙏😪😪 bought me my first electric guitar and i learned to play to this day thanks to that Spiritual Experience ihad that Night. Bozzio shined with his Slingerland drums John in the Center of the Stage i mean ¡ Eddie Jobson stage left with his keyboards playing one on one side and the other side as well and the electric violins i mean¡ My first Show still have the ticket¡🙏🙏 God Bless John¡
Totally awesome band with a powerhouse of a lineup...Wetton's vocals are so commanding and lots of emotion, control and forceful...up high and down low Wetton could get it with impeccable bass.....Jobson...totally awesome...bozio....well awesome as well.........Too bad they only could put together a few albums...but hey it was a good run....saw them with Tull........amazing...outshone tull.........thanks for the posting of this vid...
This track paved the way to Asia's musical style and songwriting. UK were the right band in the wrong time, even a commercial single like this was largely unnoticed. A short life, a couple of great line ups and three fantastic albums.
UK is a mix of traffic between Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Azia, but with the advantage that their compositions with freer The footage is amaizing!!! Thanks
was amazed to run across Eddie Jobson At NAMM demoing a keyboard and later that eveing at a restuarant at the next table- He will be at nearfest this year
saw them open for jethro tull , then the next thing you know, eddie's playing with tull ! one of the best 3 pc. bands i've ever seen. i saw bozio with zappa 1976 boston...
Note on 0:47 about Eddie Jobson keyboard arrangement . Think, the CS-80, the Electric Grand, the Hammond organ. All of them cumbersome, and heavy as tanks. So, roadies probably hated EJ when moving his equipment. They pulled a serious prank on him the last date on their tour with Jethro Tull. Since EJ played "like Emerson", i e with front facing audience and one keyboard (or stack of keyboard to the right) and the CP-70, and CS-80 at stage left, he played in that position most of the time. Now, each night it had to be exact distance between left and right keyboard stacks and they couldn't be moved the slightest inch either way, while the show was on. No casters on anything! Now on the last night they expanded the distance so EJ had to struggle with the stretches. Ian (Anderson) said "and he's stretched ever since". EJ got furiously mad, as he couldn't pull or drag the keyboards towards him.
The reunion took place few days ago, but it was an one-off event, and probably never again (3 gigs in Poland: Krakow, Warsaw, Bydgoszcz). Lots of clips on youtube already :)
UK heeft altijd buitengewoon weinig media aandacht gehad,ook in de jaren zeventig. Zulke bands moest je altijd zelf ontdekken.Kwaliteit krijg je nooit op een dienblaadje aangereikt.Niets veranderd in al die jaren.
Probably the best band of prog, for total skill and because with a few records they made the impossible for all the others! But perfection was with allan holdsworth!
The finest bubblegum. I wish the radio market in the US appreciated UK, or at least given them a chance. Not much King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Roxy Music, was played in middle-sized markets. College radio stations would occasionally play a song or two. You had to know when to listen. For me, it was 6:30 a.m. (ugh).
i actually auditioned for eddie jobson right around this period. percy jones set it up for me, but not long afterwards, jobson decided not to do the solo project he was auditioning me for.
Yeah but man when I saw this line up at the Paladium in NYC in '79 and they played 'Carrying No Cross', 'The Only Thing She Needs', Bozzio tore it up..it was an amazing show
@tomnook111 Well, this clip was intended to be a TV promo, yeah? If so, I don't believe stereo sound came to television until the 80's, so maybe it was mixed to mono originally on film from the album, rather than build a mono from scratch. Not like it makes the song or band any less awesome. :P
Good quality vid. As for who's better than who; Jeez, they're all top of the pile dudes. I always thought the best UK would have been John, Alan, Bill, and Eddie. Not that I don't think Terry is one of the best pounders in the business; Just that Bill's style fit the nucleus better on the first exploration.
Come see UK 2012 at their tour opening concert at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, presented by Vic's Drum Shop! Purchase your tickets at ETIX.com, the Vic Theatre Box Office or at Vic's Drum Shop in the Music Garage: 345 N Loomis Chicago, IL
Rare shows in 1986. I think MP only had a few on the west coast. I was ready to buy tickets for any east coast show that never materialized. Was not aware of the internal bad issues & the fact they owed 700K to capital for over production costs on Color in your life. Not sure why they gambled again go with a dance type of record with BE, why not go get Ken Scott who made there only hit record, Sping Session M & go back to basics.
@joergen100 My comment was meant as a teaser It's beautiful, now very famous instrument The whole story regarding Eddie Jobson's clear violin is available on Eddie Jobson Forum The shortcut there, enter clear violin in google images then click on Eddie's photo, it takes you right there Ampeg makes guitars like that As for not using timber by New Zealanders to build warships, I guess you skipped history lesson when they were talking about Waitangi war canoe :-)
Saw the Golden Bear marquee (Huntington Bch. CA) Back in the early 80s. Listed was UK Squeeze. O.K. two bands. ARGHHHH Noooo it was Jools Holland UK/Squeeze. Band was decent but I really wanted these guys up there. Oh well back to the drawing board.
This time in Dutch. Een band die niet meer bekend is bij de huidige media maar wel zaken op een rijtje heeft gezet muzikaal. Geschiedenis is geweldig maar je moet je er wel in verdiepen. Groetjes Rob eyes@online.nl
@TosiekDegutis :-) When you put a violin through a PA it doesn't actually matter that much anyway. It look cool though, don't you think? We are also ready to supply timber from NZ if that is the main problem, never used our timber on warship like the Europeans:-)
Sure this video isn't quite reality, but Eddie is technically proficient with sequencers set to play repeating parts. His violin has effect pedals and could mimic a guitar or keyboard or...hah hah, it's technology paired with genius. John Wetton also did a bit of that, too.
So I know that they just overlaid the studio version of the song, but it sounds different (like no double-tracking on JW's voice). Was this a mono sound source or stereo mixed down to mono?
Killer footage. It would be nice to see U.K. reform although I doubt Allan Holdsworth would ever have anything to do with it. This line-up could be a possibility (?)
Everything? They just lost a great guitarist. They replaced one great drummer with another great drummer. They didn't lose the lead singer and lyricist. And they didn't lose the composer of 95% of the music (Jobson) --- surely the UK music is the most important ingredient.
@@artrock5741 true, they replaced great players with other great players but I felt holdsworth really took the music to another level. When he left I felt UK wasn't the same. I could not appreciate Holdsworth on his own either but together their debut is one of my all time favorites.
The best rock band of all times; by far; Nothing to Lose.
RIP John Wetton, underrated as a bass player and singer.
He was so talented, among the best of the best.
@@lizardlogic2564 plonker
Terry Bozzio...one of my all time favorite drummers. Great stuff.
Dang Terry was so young there! Love his other band Missing Persons
Yes but i am better you plonker

Always one of my favourite band. Great song.
The best Years of my Life...No One could even Imagine.....

One of the greatest trio's to grace the music world.

Still sounds brillaint 2020

What a great band - just discovered them today ! Never even heard them on the radio.....
Good memory's... UK is a very special sound... a great sound.
UK is a mix of traffic between Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Azia, but with the advantage that their compositions with freer
The footage is amaizing!!! Thanks
Awesome - Jobson - WEtton and bozzio
Thanks for share...Great UK Ever...great performance
Monster band!!! RIP John!
what a great band... when i was young flash backs.. i am crying
doesn¨t get any better than this really, the cream of prog rock!!!
was amazed to run across Eddie Jobson At NAMM demoing a keyboard and later that eveing at a restuarant at the next table- He will be at nearfest this year
Una banda increíble con unos músicazos increíbles para mí mejores que Asia(con todos mis respetos porque también eran grandes)
RIP JOHN WETTON
UK es una gran banda. tiene una de las mejores alineaciones de la historia.
loved these guys freaking awesome thanks for posing
saw them open for jethro tull , then the next thing you know, eddie's playing with tull ! one of the best 3 pc. bands i've ever seen. i saw bozio with zappa 1976 boston...
Danger Money is not only their best album but also one of the best progressive albums of all time...or best albums period
Gorgeous document! Thanks a lot.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS !!!!!!
Beautiful footage and very rare. Thanks so much for posting this.
i love this band....

Excellent John Wetton ...!!
can't believe there is going to be a reunion tour this year!
Awesome!
That's so great!!
Waw!!! Thank you!!!!!!
A real quality document, progressiv music at his heights. thanks
Musicos competentes, especialmente Eddie Jobson! Pura solidez!
Unbelievable video quality. Great post!
una joyita
Cool !!!
great track in 2021 not for plonkers
two minimoogs, a Yamaha cp80 and cs80, plus a Hammond and a Prophet.
After Holdsworth left/Jobson played more violin- the legato stylings are similar !!!###
After their Great 1st album , they got real 'Bubble Gum' !!
Prog X Yes but still really good and still sounds great
Jonathan Silk , Agreed 🎶

they all rok!
Storia!!!!
Terry Bozzio, the greatest drummer Frank Zappa ever had in his band, and there was plenty of stiff competition for that accolade !

Eddie Jobson!!
Terry Bozzio #1
To have known what incredibly pop songs Wetton could bring out in a band - and after this, ugh.. Asia...
Rare shows in 1986. I think MP only had a few on the west coast. I was ready to buy tickets for any east coast show that never materialized.

OK - done!
UK 1979
Wonder if they ever covered Punkys Whips since they had Terry.

became trio , more solid "rock " oriented , Terry Bozzio !

Groetjes Rob eyes@online.nl
the only way to describe this band to others that never heard of them is to tell them it's pre Asia
gad damn terry👀😱! what size are those three cymbals in front??!!
Cool that it's in HD... Too bad it's in mono and the aspect ratio is wrong...
Didn't they became Asia later on? I so luv both.
@noddyspuncture This performance is lip-synced as it were, for TV. They are not playing live.
@TosiekDegutis :-) When you put a violin through a PA it doesn't actually matter that much anyway. It look cool though, don't you think?
We are also ready to supply timber from NZ if that is the main problem, never used our timber on warship like the Europeans:-)
Who plays the keys while Jobson is on violin... are there backing tapes playing?
Sure this video isn't quite reality, but Eddie is technically proficient with sequencers set to play repeating parts. His violin has effect pedals and could mimic a guitar or keyboard or...hah hah, it's technology paired with genius. John Wetton also did a bit of that, too.
@@c.howard1869BUT... more than likely a nifty air guitar/violins/drums
session!
I've never heard this lineup--this is really Prog-lite.
The album is prog heavy.
Emerson lake. and palmer
this band spawned Asia and Missing Persons...awesome
Proto Yngwie song... without guitar!
@TosiekDegutis Oh, and where is Bill????
So I know that they just overlaid the studio version of the song, but it sounds different (like no double-tracking on JW's voice). Was this a mono sound source or stereo mixed down to mono?
Oh, but what a voice, no matter the bells and whistles.
@@c.howard1869 I wouldn't contest that, LOL. Just something I notice with my engineer ears.
@@eddievhfan1984 Yes, much depends on getting the right sound.
they were a better ELP than ELP ever was
@Oldschool7166 It will be dreadful; I'd wager money on it. And I loved this band, even if one its members does lack basic social skills.
Killer footage. It would be nice to see U.K. reform although I doubt Allan Holdsworth would ever have anything to do with it. This line-up could be a possibility (?)
@joergen100 Having a joint in a washroom I guess
@ilikeyouallot
Ah ah the same for me
Unfortunately a dub, not a live performance.
Every bass-keyboard-drums trio must be compared to ELP , regardless of the music style (kinda joke)
btw, uk were over once holdsie & bruford left. this stuff here was a big wank, afaic...
So much ownage here
The start of ASIA......
They lost everything when they lost Holdsworth
Everything? They just lost a great guitarist. They replaced one great drummer with another great drummer. They didn't lose the lead singer and lyricist. And they didn't lose the composer of 95% of the music (Jobson) --- surely the UK music is the most important ingredient.
@@artrock5741 true, they replaced great players with other great players but I felt holdsworth really took the music to another level. When he left I felt UK wasn't the same. I could not appreciate Holdsworth on his own either but together their debut is one of my all time favorites.
