I agree with this a billion percent. If I have to show someone an introductory sample of Adrian, this is it, but it's so affectively (effectively) sublime. Just lifts me out of myself pretty much everytime. I get amped up as soon as that first note hits, cuz I know I'm in for a ride. Stevie Ray Vaughn's solo in "Can I Have a Talk With You" can do the same thing.
Also, can I add that I really appreciate that you start the clip at 5:02, so that the listener gets to hear the riff going as a build-up into it. :) ... And then that thing that happens at 5:49 ... a moment of utter guitar inspiration.
xD Funny for those unsure though the actually levels are Level 1: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 1 Level 2: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 2 Level 3: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 3 Level 4: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 4 Level 5
I've been listening to bands like mastodon and the Mars Volta for years. I never realised how much of a huge influence king crimson obviously is on them.
That is almost exactly how I got into King Crimson about 15 years ago. Go down the worm hole, my friend. Just saw them in Philly a few weeks ago, and it was the pinnacle of live experiences for me.
it's such an outstanding solo :D definitely one of my favourites, i still have a goosebumps every time i hear it coming especially at the very beginning when it starts, it feels like some last boss from a game or main antagonist from a show enters the room for final encounter you've been all waiting for xD
Math, Art and Anthropology professors from the local college, along with the younger Head of Security head out to a secret venue after work to pump out all their daily frustrations through the power of music, playing heavier and with more precision and passion than all the idols of school youngsters they're trying to educate, all the while the ignorant student body take them for complete geeks, bookworms and buffoons.
Level 5 Is when you are taken by a type 3 alien civilization and they extract your concience to make you evolve into a higher life form that Is sentient on it's own but also part of a collective intelligence that Is both onmi present and omnipotent. And also you can play badass guitar solos like Adrián Belew
It's more impressive that Trey can play along. Of course performers can perform the things they write (though even Fripp admits Fracture is challenging). I'm always more wowed when people can play music by other people.
Wish I could've seen this line up. I think they were my favorite line up honestly. I feel like the 90s and 00s (and the projeckts) stuff they did is pretty underrated. Seems like most people like the earlier stuff (which is still awesome by the way)
I saw this band perform on this tour@ Lakewood Civic Auditorium in 2001...Lakewood High School auditorium for all intents and purposes....That alone made it probably the most powerful concert I ever experienced. I saw them @ the University of Oberlin in 1981 from a church pew 3 rows back (Dicipline tour)...I thought THAT changed me...until I saw this. My impressions and views of KC, music and guitar playing were never the same again...
Am I the only human on earth to list, as their two favorite bands of all-time, King Crimson (based upon decades of excellence) and the Sex Pistols (based solely on "Never Mind the Bollocks")? Just curious.....
Well, I love the pistols... But I'd have to say King Crimson, Dream Theater, Circus Maximus and Porcupine Tree. I'm more into the technical shit. Anything simpler would have to be Drum and Bass music or something. As someone whose recently seen DT and KC, and "Robert Fripp and the Chamber Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists", I can't ever go back to listening to normal music. And NO, not Opeth or Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Overrated bullshit. Much prefer Hawkwind and Chrome who influenced those bands in the first place.
I saw it a couple of years ago. Belew wasn't in the line up but they all NAILED it!!! It was superb. But the inclusion of 3 drummers made it so much more technical live. Highly recommend seeing them these days anyway :)
Great song & vid, really enjoyed this. Am I the only one to notice how off the timing of vid to audio is though? Ah, the tour my deceased bro & I missed... he was THE biggest Crimson fan of all time, even attended Robert's crafty guitar course!
@@Benjamin-om3ih given they where open about being inspired by tool after touring with them in 2001 I think, if it's rustling someone's Jimmies they don't know their crimson history
Adrian's solo at 5:11 is just sublime.
5:02 Adrian's solo begins. Fkn legend.
god, this particular performance kills me, it's like his guitar ripped a hole though the universe when that note hits

Adrian Belew looks like he just finished a shift as a janitor at an elementary school.
yeah, at first, but when you look carefully,he has some slacks on and the shirt might be satin
He's no janitor...believe that!
joyce sweeting Janitors wear satin! Hater. 😂
LOL 😂
what's wrong with being a janitor
Also known as "Larks tongue in aspic 5"
I've been listening to this for years and only just found that out yesterday, my reaction : "Of course! Duh"
Level 1: Beginners
Level 2: Guys who know how to play a little
Level 3: Good Musicians
Level 4: Great Musicians
Level 5: King Crimson
LOL this made me laugh.
In all seriousness, these guys knew their shit by part 2.. That album still mesmerizes me to this day. TO THIS DAY!!
You are OK !
@@lordofglencoe7084 🙂
Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Level: 5
xD Funny for those unsure though the actually levels are
Level 1: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 1
Level 2: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 2
Level 3: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 3
Level 4: Larks' Tongues in Aspic 4
Level 5
I've been listening to bands like mastodon and the Mars Volta for years. I never realised how much of a huge influence king crimson obviously is on them.
Yes, but the key difference is that King Crimson is good.
Tool as well. Drummer is a massive KC fan.
@@CripplingDuality Nice burn
The end of Sleeping Giant is directly influenced by the intro to this song. So cool.
That is almost exactly how I got into King Crimson about 15 years ago. Go down the worm hole, my friend. Just saw them in Philly a few weeks ago, and it was the pinnacle of live experiences for me.
5:02..that is a badass riff!!!
when they bring the nasty riff back but slower ^ chef's kiss *
There's something about Fripp's smile as Belew starts his solo that just makes me beam!
It's one of Belew's best solos ever. Fripp saw it coming.
it's such an outstanding solo :D definitely one of my favourites, i still have a goosebumps every time i hear it coming
especially at the very beginning when it starts, it feels like some last boss from a game or main antagonist from a show enters the room for final encounter you've been all waiting for xD
The way they complete each other is unbelievable
Wonderful song, wonderful music, the greatest band ever.
That blue pixel on the right is Robert fripp.
2:56 what a great riff!
When you know something really well and then don't listen to it for a few years.
Oh!
I keep coming back to this album!
Is this the best and most innovative band ever? At least it is a personal favorite.. I think I finally place them above Pink Floyd..
This has got to be one of the best beats I have ever heard!
This is so brutal.
Amazing composition, I love it. Mr Fripp is a musical genius !
Math, Art and Anthropology professors from the local college, along with the younger Head of Security head out to a secret venue after work to pump out all their daily frustrations through the power of music, playing heavier and with more precision and passion than all the idols of school youngsters they're trying to educate, all the while the ignorant student body take them for complete geeks, bookworms and buffoons.
for me this is the best version of level five
2:55 for the impossible Fripp part
Well, with a bit more practice, I'd say they've got potential.
Level 6
You forgot to use the sarcasm font LOL
Level 5 Is when you are taken by a type 3 alien civilization and they extract your concience to make you evolve into a higher life form that Is sentient on it's own but also part of a collective intelligence that Is both onmi present and omnipotent.
And also you can play badass guitar solos like Adrián Belew
You got a good point there
My thoughts exactly
I had this dream,
left a lasting- Impression
"level five"
so I found this
here!
...it felt right, right then*
holy fuck. i can't believe these live videos only have in the thousands for views! they're fantastic!!
Since i discovered this I come back to the solo every day...
I have no idea how Fripp plays some of the runs he plays. It's mind boggling.
It helps when you invent your own guitar tuning. :-)
But, yes, he is a genius.
Practice, just as he always tells his students!
It's more impressive that Trey can play along. Of course performers can perform the things they write (though even Fripp admits Fracture is challenging). I'm always more wowed when people can play music by other people.
arquitectura musical y creatividad emocional en su MÁXIMA EXPRESIÓN, KING CRIMSON entro en la ETERNIDAD!
Adam Sandler... What a bass player
I fucking love these guys! love this song! and this performance!! truly masters of the prog realm, sounds like a fucking 8 bit! a nightmare. deadly
Incredible technicality
3:28 🤯
Boss battle music
Wish I could've seen this line up. I think they were my favorite line up honestly. I feel like the 90s and 00s (and the projeckts) stuff they did is pretty underrated. Seems like most people like the earlier stuff (which is still awesome by the way)
prog doom
Siempre que escucho Level Five ........ No se por que imagino a Siqueiros pintando un mural con esa música de fondo 🤔🤔🤔
Some things in life do not require an explanation, this track is one of those things
This song sonud like indiscipline!! Amazing and powerfull perfomance!!
Larks Tongues in Aspic 5
just excellent! thank you for the upload!
King Crimson kicks ass! Thank god for Robert Fripp. And Jim Sterling.
Awesome! goose bumps a mile high
😎
My favorite post-Red tune. Some syncing problems with the video. 🤐
I own this dvd...I highly recommend picking it up!
Adrian Belew could be the GTA 2 Mad Scientist boss.
Because this song exists, I don't have to write music.
Cant wait to see Robert Fripp and the rest of King Crimson oct 4th at the Warfield auditorium in San Francisco!!
I was at that show. Killer stuff!
Killer of a track!
Adrian Belew... you are a fvcking BEAST!
Good god they are good . So in sync with each-others minds
Yesss! And it's great experience to play it also! 😁
Puro carmesí bestial...!
Incredible.
badass!!!
9.0 on the Richter Scale, possibly higher
Amazing version
great！
They made a track for video games
Love this one
I kept waiting for a tiny Stonehenge to drop down onto the stage while watching this....
Making a big thing of it would be a good idea
no one knew who they were or what they were doing
Mammamia
How does Trey make that cool sound at 3:32?
Go king Crimson for the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction!
Like Robert Fripp would ever accept such a thing.
Fripp spit on that
enlightening
Adrian Belew is fuckin awesome
If this is from an official DVD release, I would like to know the working title, so that I can buy a copy. Amazing stuff!!
+Glenn Hecker Yeah man! its a double DVD the title is King Crimson Eyes Wide Open ;)
They will probably always be way ahead of their time....
Fear The Fripp !! Oh. gawd !
POLI RITMOS
POLI TIEMPOS!!
the messenger of what's about to come... ;(
Fucking Amazing.
Me animo a decir que estamos atraveando por la mejor época de King Crimson.
ricardo daniel piña qué año es esto?
I agree
I saw this band perform on this tour@ Lakewood Civic Auditorium in 2001...Lakewood High School auditorium for all intents and purposes....That alone made it probably the most powerful concert I ever experienced.

ESCUCHÁ LA BATERÍA!!
Am I the only human on earth to list, as their two favorite bands of all-time, King Crimson (based upon decades of excellence) and the Sex Pistols (based solely on "Never Mind the Bollocks")? Just curious.....
It's only rock n' roll but I like it!
Probably

@@almightyhotdoglady5383 calling Floyd overrated BS and listening to DT... Porcupine Tree is amazing tho
Level 5 super secure prison state. There is no escape
It's 2061 somewhere
Slaughterhouse 5 - wicked -
is there some kind of extra percussion backstage??
Drummer Pat is using triggered e-drums while he’s playing, I believe
Some sort of automatic sampling I thought.
Dan briggs of BTBAM sent me here
I LOOOVE YOU JEEESSUUUUS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!
JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU, YESSSSSSS I DOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
What I'd give to see this line up
I saw them in 2001...It was every bit as spectacular as you think it would be!...
I saw it a couple of years ago. Belew wasn't in the line up but they all NAILED it!!! It was superb. But the inclusion of 3 drummers made it so much more technical live. Highly recommend seeing them these days anyway :)

pwrsrge220 Yes, out of sync
Kto był? Kongresowa 2003 bodajże
Just ask king crimson for boss music
The album The power to believe is when King Crimson decided that they needed to sound like Tool.
your gonna rustle some jimmies with that comment
but they are way better (from a technical aspect i will not judge the music here)
only listened a bit of TOOL, could you tell me some songs that sound like KC? i like the power to believe.
@@Benjamin-om3ih given they where open about being inspired by tool after touring with them in 2001 I think, if it's rustling someone's Jimmies they don't know their crimson history
Disgusting to the core.
Fripp ei tee musiikissa lainkaan virheitä.
You can hear the big influence from Tool on this band and others
No it's the other way around.
