Fun fact: Band decided to credit Bruford on this because he has "shown admirable restraint"
Yes, his "decision to not playing" made the song better!
Someone had to make the sandwiches
@@MrAdamNTProtester hahaha
he had some banking errands…cashing his royalty checks from Close to the Edge.
HAHAHA So English. I love these guys.
Sad fact: Only 1K likes, extremely low.
I consider this song, as well as "Fracture", as the peak of genius and craftmanship. And while "Fracture" does it in noise and velocity, "Trio" does it in silence and peace. I admit, I still have to cry when I hear the Violin and the Melotron-Flute going higher and higher. And Wetton's bass too. And Bruford was assisting with his sticks crossed around his chest. Wonder & Beauty, they have a name.
My wife walked down the aisle to this song! I love it so much!!!
Wow! It’s SOOO beautiful, I’m sure much like her 🌹
What a wonderful choice. Very appropriate for a wedding!
@@iadorenewyork1 thank you! It worked perfect cause we just have one daughter together so we are the “trio” hehe
@@CGMiller - So sweet! 👨👩👧
Beautiful choice.
it’s extremely difficult to put into words what this song means to me .. i’ve had it a part of my life for years now, and to this day it’s the most mind-clearing, reorienting song i’ve ever heard in my life. it’s an absolute mental refreshment that always grounds me in reality and reflect on where i’m at in life.
i know to many it’s just a simple improv, but there’s an unmistakeable beauty in this simplicity that always has a profound effect on me emotionally. music is powerful, man.
I love this 👏❤🎵🤗
this is easily one of the most beautiful songs of all time. i always remember of my grandma, good memories
Completely agree this song takes me to a whole different place every time I hear it. It's like the whole world fades away and I'm alone with my thoughts and the song is the soundtrack.
Amen to that!!!!
If you think this, I recommend getting into classical music
The saddest part of this song is when you realize it's over.
fun fact about this song: bill bruford
_Quartet_
Someone had to set all the equipment up
Bill Bruford what ?
@@pobinr Bruford got a writing credit on this for "tasteful restraint", I believe they called it. He just sat there with his sticks across his chest and watched the magic happen along with the crowd that night
@@kggregorie not gonna lie, that's pretty fucking sick. Tasteful restraint is the perfect way to describe that
A huge influence on me to play violin.
Had no idea it could be longing, joyful, sad, in love and nostalgic all simultaneously.
Thank you David Cross 🌹
I will never get over how some of the improvs on this album sound like written pieces.
probably they wrote main pieces to improv the rest
@@igorrodrigues97. We know that’s at least true for Trio here. I believe the bass riff was written at some point and they stored it away to do something with it onstage. Doesn’t make it any less miraculous or beautiful, in my eyes.
No group of musicians in the history of music , including all the great jazz players, ever mastered improvisation better than this Crimson lineup!!
@@igorrodrigues97. maybe, maybe not
Who knows,? Sounds wonderful though
@@tommyrawlings3046 Stupidest comment I've read all year.
I'm terrible at singing, so instead of singing a lullaby to my son I played this song for him while he was in my arms.
Every time I listen this song I get tears of joy.
A musical classic, with an in crescendo and an explosive David Cross, make this piece a timeless gem, nothing to do with so much music to listen to and forget about it...
I cannot fathom why they booted Cross out of the band.
@@markhunter8554, Robert and John did, Bill disagreed.
I'm incredibly jealous of the people who experienced this being recorded right before their eyes (and ears) half a century ago.
Writting a piece and make it extremely beautiful is difficult enough, but these guys completely improvised it on the stage and did a good job. Also, the incredible mix, which provided with high sound quality in the album version contributed to its success.
Adorable piece of music. I close my eyes and imagine being in the time that this was performed.. it was a time way before i was born but i can feel the nostalgia
이 곡은 내가 조금 좋아하는 곡이었습니다. 그런데 오늘은 명상을 할 때 이 곡을 반복해서 들었는데 명상하면서 계속 눈물이 흘렀습니다. 왜냐 하면 너무나 좋아서요. 그 순간이 너무나 행복해서요.
Reminds me of the sublime art pop song Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp (1970) by the extraordinary Laura Nyro, where she utilises Phrygian Dominant and fuses Arabic, Chinese and Japanese sounds. The jazzy outro improv is stunningly beautiful.
It's rare to find a song with even a single extraordinary melody. This masterpiece contains 3.
Das gute inprovizacjon King Crimson , beste band progrv rock . 👍
This never fails to make me cry... :(
..reminds me of early Crimson, now that I hear it again today in 2023, since first listening in 1974.. yes, very beautiful, along the lines of "The Night Watch" too, which is my favourite track on the album...
not wh00ping was the best decision bill could have made
Always been a tad melancholic as a (not very successful) musician type, and this tune just manages to tap into me in a way that few others do. First heard it at about 15, and through having a rough time now (at 47), I still come back to it. A beautiful piece of music, without doubt.
I feel similar. Like the comment AJ Mac. 59 here and first heard it at about 19. Helped to broaden my mind out of the hard rock and blues that I loved at the time.
Hope things are going better now, man
@@juankgonzalez6230 Oh...you don't want to know, but thanks.
@@ajmac7432 Shit, man... Well, keep moving forward, something's bound to happen eventually. Best wishes
@@juankgonzalez6230 Not being in the UK currently would help, let's put it that way. Hope you're somewhere happier. Take care
This is a happy place for me. Easily my favourite KC improv
I hope to one day play a sequence of notes as beautiful as what David Cross played here at 4:45
WOW. I so sympathize with you on this.
もう50年も前の曲だし、放送などで流れてくることもとても少ないけれど、今でも繰り返し聴きたくなる。人生の最後に、海に沈む夕日を見ながら聴きたい曲。
So beautiful …
Bruford was not only a great drummer across any genre, but a great percussionist too! I always wondered how this song would sound if he had pulled out some little bells or some other subtle percussive accoutrement!
Pure Passion. Still my favorite KC album. Saw them in Chicago in 1974 with Robin Trower, as the opener.
🎶 tranquility 🎶
Yes, beautiful tranquility!!
Perfect soft song . . . , and it's a improv
Siempre los pelos de punta, años después de oírla la primera vez.
Bruford: "How would you like me to play on this jam?"
Fripp: "No"
Magnificent! This is the King Crimson I listened to when I first discovered King Crimson.
so beautiful it’s painful
Simply beautiful
Wonderful!
Very reminiscent of Islands
Yes, I always thought th too,!
Was thinking same thing
Absolutely,
King Crimson is King
Цитата. Все любят джаз а повторить могут не многие..... Сама мысль об ,, Кинг,, притягивает,, к таланту ✌
Thank you King Crimson.
God bless Bill for his genius part in this. ;)
I heard this piece was recorded after they had had a pretty bad argument. And afterwards they are making beautiful music together.
3:12 gets me every time
4:21 gets me every time.
4:47 too
4:20 tears
My all time fav King Crimson song... and I am a huge Bruford fan, I think Wetton was KC's best singer & this iteration of the band was the all time best ever! Those two things I love about the band & this iteration do NOT appear on this song... Wetton still plays bass strings but does not sing & Bruford was mixing the sweet ice tea for break time... in other words very christian & holy... the song you love doesn't have the things you like most about the band... very counter-intuitive very JESUS like!
Nice post
But I humbly have to disagree, Greg lake was crimson's best vocalist
@@tommyrawlings3046 I'd have to agree. I prefer the Larks/Starless line up but Lake was definitely the stronger vocalist.
Beautiful. I had purchased the LP at a used record store in New Brunswick, NJ. called Cheap Thrills back in 1974!
I remember "Cheap Thrills!" Shopped there frequently, from the fall of 1982 through the spring of 1984, while living on campus as a (not very successful) engineering student at Rutgers University. Really cool store (along with Flamin' Groovies, All Ears Records, and Varsity Records). Such a lot of musical treasure between them!
I can play the drum parts to this
Bruh
3:43 UFFFFFF, when this part turns on, I go super Saiyan, so amazing
*Bruford won by doing anything*
Polishing Fripp's Guitar is hard work yo
Br00f wins by doing absolutely nothing
Wasn’t Bill Bruford was credited with “admirable restraint” on the track info?
Someone had to drive the van
yes. He was listening live and decided to listen (provide silence and audience) rather than play.
Master piece
improv never sounded this good
Особая музыка... На мой взгляд требующая серьезного внимания ❤
Yes..this song helped me decide to play violin. SO beautiful 🌹
I prefer Wetton's voice to Lake's with KC. Generally better Lake with ELP
no br00fing aside this is beautiful
You like this kind of melancholy, check out Arno Pärt and Alfred Schnittke.
Celestial as it can be-especially when compared to current cat's music.'
Everyone loves a trinity...
4:21 = wow that sound!!! is that Mellotron o some type of synth? anyway its my favorite part
It is a Flute sound via the Mellotron! Fripp was always more of a Mellotron guy than a synth guy!
Тут надо слушать, Т сс
I'm from the Gentle Giant camp - I didn't press Like. A bit too simple, as for me. Mantraic nature - I see. But it's all a bit too much. As for me.
Is it always rock ?
Is it important ? 😉
It´s a Mars rock.
Nearly Post-Rock, in a way
@@juankgonzalez6230 I always thought the artsier and more out-there prog rock from the 70s sounded eeriely like Post-Rock.
only 3
They should have worked that into the title somehow
of a perfect pair?
Lark Ascending??
Improv. How did they know when to stop?

YEEEAAAH HAHA YOU TELL EM PETE
HAH?
If I recall, this track happened right after the band had a nasty heated argument, and it may have been why Bruford doesn't play anything here.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
He actually plays the rest note the entire track. It's NOT nothing. His hands are IN strike position
I heard he was pissed they recorded without him.
@@ynotbmale5218 false, this is from an improv in a live show, they edited on the studio. He chose not to play
yes if there had been peace Bruford would be killing it with bass triplets & cowbells in 8/7 time underneath all this melodrama... who knew it was intended as a quick dance song before "the Argument"... still makes a reasonable waltz I suppose
This was improvised at a show at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam (November 23, 1973). What happened is that, while the other three were playing, Bruford just sat there and waited for the right moment to join in. Eventually, he realized that the best time was no time at all, so he sat with his drumsticks crossed on his chest for the rest of the piece. If I remember correctly, he said later that knowing when _not_ to play is just as important for a musician as knowing when to play.
Bit of chinese vibes
