Keep in mind that at the time of this performance In The Court Of The Crimson King hadn't been released yet. The Rolling Stones had invited them to open up their show in HP; the audience had no idea what to expect from these guys and then they hit them upside the head with this! Imagine what that crowd must've been thinking!
I can give U insight as to what the chicks were thinking as Greg was looking as excellently fine as he was sounding on this mutha. Seriously. Mick who?! EDIT: My mother made this reply so if you have any questions I'll tell her.
I went to see another band in 1969 (can't recall for sure, but I think it was Jethro Tull...drugs may have affected my memory of that night) and King Crimson was the warm up band. They blew me away! A fan ever since.
Greg lake was definitely one of if not the best looking ,photogenic, smooth, best sounding artist of that time. Unfortunately time was slashing and reaping and he died at 69 an ugly old man .That's the adamic curse.

Let me guess. You decided to stop by Hyde Park for this concert on your way back from attending Woodstock. Today, people who were at either event are dead or don't know they were there.
@@YOTSUBA_desu lol...ELP was the greatest rock band in terms of musicians ability ever but their lyrics were sometimes really good like lucky man, sometimes mehh. But lakes singing, bass playing, never mehh.
i was there , when they came on early in the afternoon people didnt know who they were and they simply freaked everybody out with their brilliance. The Stones nearly lost the day to them.
Was this concert after Brian Jones died from rolling Stones?. I heard there was tribute concert (I could be wrong, this before my time, I was like 3 years, still a toddler. I'm not really into Stones although found necessary to learn..Heavy songs like this i listened too. Regardless of MTV's idea was for music being played during that trend. Which wasn't good then, and certainly didnt last on.. Most of MTV bands and their music from the start, is hardly mentioned if song writing and good bands are concerned.
@Danny Hood Yes, Brian drowned at home, two days before this concert in Hyde Park. He’d been told of his “dismissal” from the Stones the previous month, and this show was the first public performance by Mick Taylor, Brian’s replacement.

Imagine being a stoned hippy in the late 60s going to see the Rolling Stones and have a good time and these maniacs come on stage and play the most terrifyingly loud and complex music you’ve ever heard in your life
When I was a child, this song scared the shit out of me. It's menacing. Unfortunately, after all of these years and about 100 LSD trips, I am a 21st Century Schizoid Man.
How 'bout The Beatles doing I Am the Walrus, from Magical Mystery Tour film, 1967. I guess technically not a live performance. I just read how Robert Fripp had his mind blown upon hearing A Day In the Life. They influenced everyone.
You're forgetting that YES was right there with them. KC didn't inspire YES to _become_ prog - just to practice a lot more, which is never a bad thing.
I saw King Crimson earlier that year in a little church hall in Plymouth, Devon. Nobody had heard of them before, so we didn't know what to expect. They came on to a dark stage and sat down on stools and in a split second they jumped off the stools and ripped into Schizoid man at full volume and at the same time a full on strobe turned on. I had never heard or seen anything like it. The whole night was was such mind blowing experience it left everybody totally stunned. I was also at this concert in Hyde Park and it is not mentioned enough that admission was free. The other bands I remember being there were The Third Ear Band and Family (the UK band , not Sly Stone).
People come here for two reasons: They either love King Crimson or they love King Crimson. I personally love King Crimson but soon enough I also became a fan of King Crimson.
1969 was truly the best year for music, king crimson releases “in the court of the crimson king” , beatles release “abbey road” , Led Zeppelin released “Led Zeppelin” and “Led Zeppelin 2” , Rolling Stones release “let it bleed” , The Who release “tommy”
This song stands so ahead of its time that skipped time through decades of musical industry. Kind of like Mozart's requiem, it makes a hole in my chest. I really want to play this song over and over and never reaching the end of it.
As you wrote this comment 7 months ago, I was wondering if you have set off yet, and if so, was it as good as we would imagine? I was only 3 when this was recorded, so if I aren't too late, I would also like to see Free in their prime and the late, great Sandy Denny, and. . . . . . .
I first heard the full version of this when it came out in 1969. We were driving through Fayetteville, NC, trying to find something other than Country on the radio, which was a challenge. As we listened to this in disbelief, it just about blew us off the road. Got lots of King Krimson and ELP albums after that.
what radio station were you listening to in 1969 in fayettenam that was playing crimson? must've been a weird atmospheric bounce out of new york cuz i guarantee there's never been a station in cumberland county that ever played this song....to this very day.

I grew up with a bunch of freaks , all more aged than me , who initiated me to all kinds of music of the late sixties and beginning of seventies . That's how i learnt to love King Crimson . Simple as that....
My dad, being the badass that he is, introduced me to this SIXTIES band, that clearly has a heavy, sludgy guitar sound, and bangin drums. They were WAAAY ahead of their time, and are definitely responsible for laying the foundation for heavy metal.

It was a great concert and just had to get the album as soon as it was out. That first album was just so good from beginning to end. Shame I had to leave halfway through Stones set to get across to the Albert Hall for The Who's Tommy. Fancy that a day of King Crimson, Stones and the Who's Tommy. Embedded in my memory.
What was the general mood whilst KC was playing? Were people as confused as this footage makes out or were they just focusing on people who looked like that?
These guys have such a great catalog. Lake and Fripp what a combo. Gotta say after all these years epitaph is my favorite King Crimson tune. I had the privilege to see them in very early 70's in a 3,000 seat theater and was properly blown away.
Better is the naked pole man at the Dead’s Sunshine Daydream show at Vaneta OR in ‘72. The best thing is, when the sun set he left, got some cloths on and returned. ua-cam.com/video/zGfFUsAQaYE/v-deo.html
I missed this concert by just a few months. I arrived in England on September 12, 1969 to begin a 3.5 year tour in the United States Air Force. The guys that met me at our base (RAF Bentwaters) found out I was a guitar player and a Stones fan were still raving about going to Hyde Park that day. 🤘🎶
Like Stravinsky's "The Rites of Spring," or Francis Bacon's triptych painting "Crucifix," King Crimson were revolutionary. The looks on some of these Stone's fans faces says it all. Though I can see many digging it, I am sure there were those like, "WTF is this?" So fantastic. Greg Lake forever.
I was there watching King Crimson playing in Hyde park in 1969, I was 18 yrs old just growing up and opening my eyes to the wonders of life. Great days !
It’s like a year 2021 anthem . Uncanny . Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl the cracked and broken path And if we make it we can all sit back and laugh But I fear tomorrow I” ll be crying And I fear tomorrow I”ll be dying Think that’s how it goes . One of my favorite albums as a kid .love King Crimson
it's not like a 2021 anthem, it's far more that, the whole point of the song is supposed to be that never will ever get better so i don't see why you'd think it's uncanny that it fits our current times
Amazing. I was born that year. And to think just a mere 5 years earlier "A Hard Day's Night" was in the cinemas. The 1960s were like 10 mini-centuries going on! Amazing.
Absolut genius!!!! I'am so glad grew up this strange and unbelievable times, so i had tis music from the beginning live an nowadays in my soul, my brain and in everey cell of my body. So i can recall the 60/70ties feeling whenever i hear this music or look the videos. This feeling is not byable for the whole money of the world.
I'll never forget this song showing up in my discover weekly and looking it up, expecting to find some alternative band from 2000s. Imagine my surprise when I found out these guys were 60s/70s. Completely ahead of their time
This was a great band. 'In the court of the Crimson King' has gone down as a classic late 1960s Psychedelic rock album - and groundbreaking in its fusion of folk, jazz and blues.

Probably completly L.S.D.
It was like they gave a 7 year old the camera and said "record the concert..."

Which cameraman? There were at least 5 shooting film cameras.
I think every camerman at some point in their lives needs to be told this lol
"Hey cameraman, make sure to never focus on the genius guitarist Robert Fripp"
Belladonic Haze “Hey cameraman, make sure to not focus on anything and just shake the camera and zoom a lot.”

Off to the side as he likes it lol
I know! Where's the Fripp at?
genius guitarist?
Damn those few seconds where you can clearly hear the tremendous power sound of Fripp's guitar and Lake's voice, priceless
Those moments were cut in from the Filmore West performance of Schizoid Man, probably due to tape damage or a messed up part of the recording.

These guys have such a great catalog. Lake and Fripp what a combo. Gotta say after all these years epitaph is my favorite King Crimson tune. I had the privilege to see them in very early 70's in a 3,000 seat theater and was properly blown away.
Damn man. This video needs to be saved
R.I.P. Greg, you truly are a legend!
0:43 why is nobody talking about this
Lmao
Same reason why nobody is talking about you I guess.
hahaha Lsd ?
Dude better have a ticket for that lamppost.
Better is the naked pole man at the Dead’s Sunshine Daydream show at Vaneta OR in ‘72. The best thing is, when the sun set he left, got some cloths on and returned.

That zoom in on the girl’s face at the end completes it.
It just works
I missed this concert by just a few months. I arrived in England on September 12, 1969 to begin a 3.5 year tour in the United States Air Force. The guys that met me at our base (RAF Bentwaters) found out I was a guitar player and a Stones fan were still raving about going to Hyde Park that day. 🤘🎶
a girl called Irem from Istanbul introduced to this song. now i think i'll check the rest. i should thank her again.
tkzsfen you mean from Constantinople
DEUS VULT
tkzsfen Constantinople*
constantinople got rekt, so they changed name
faizul r It really means the same thing. Istan means Constantine.
I remember putting this album on my record player when I was a kid and cranking it up. I still have it.
Like Stravinsky's "The Rites of Spring," or Francis Bacon's triptych painting "Crucifix," King Crimson were revolutionary. The looks on some of these Stone's fans faces says it all. Though I can see many digging it, I am sure there were those like, "WTF is this?"
So fantastic. Greg Lake forever.
Still ahead of it’s time … luv the genius of Greg Lake … highly under appreciated … RIP
Tomorrow is the day I waited for
There we finally meet
And tomorrow you will see Doppio
Finally
@@tambettammisto7423 Hey it's the big day
@@zakguitar2359 hell yeah boiiii
One of the most incredible bands ever.
I was there watching King Crimson playing in Hyde park in 1969, I was 18 yrs old just growing up and opening my eyes to the wonders of life. Great days !
Greg is realistically the reason why this song is what it is
The vocals and the bass playing is so powerful and memorable ❤
Greg RIP we all loved you

This masterpiece is ahead of its time.
It’s like a year 2021 anthem .
Uncanny .
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl the cracked and broken path
And if we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I” ll be crying
And I fear tomorrow I”ll be dying
Think that’s how it goes . One of my favorite albums as a kid .love King Crimson
I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
This song is the best.
With Lake and original band members
It’s greater now than ever
it's not like a 2021 anthem, it's far more that, the whole point of the song is supposed to be that never will ever get better so i don't see why you'd think it's uncanny that it fits our current times
if video would be high quality this would look like the future, thats how ahead of their time they where
Amazing. I was born that year. And to think just a mere 5 years earlier "A Hard Day's Night" was in the cinemas. The 1960s were like 10 mini-centuries going on! Amazing.
God,you must be 60 years right now
Hello,fake commenters
such an under appreciated and underrated Band. I still crank King Crimson up , on a regular basis. Thank you , to the Band.
These fellas in the crowd are completely zonked out of their minds😮
Dear Greg, your voice is still alive.
this was 50 years ago... thats trippy
Love Greg Lakes Voice one of the best vocalists ever!
Nobody but Greg Lake can sing this song with real emotion
Absolut genius!!!! I'am so glad grew up this strange and unbelievable times, so i had tis music from the beginning live an nowadays in my soul, my brain and in everey cell of my body. So i can recall the 60/70ties feeling whenever i hear this music or look the videos. This feeling is not byable for the whole money of the world.
I'll never forget this song showing up in my discover weekly and looking it up, expecting to find some alternative band from 2000s. Imagine my surprise when I found out these guys were 60s/70s. Completely ahead of their time
Greg Lake’s voice was quite powerful back in the day.
This was a great band. 'In the court of the Crimson King' has gone down as a classic late 1960s Psychedelic rock album - and groundbreaking in its fusion of folk, jazz and blues.
Saw them last night. One of the most powerful shows I've ever attended. Fripp really shredded on this one. Long live King Crimson! 👹
RIP Greg Lake
Wow, amazing gig footage!!
Such an iconic song.
These 90 secs are really up there with some of the most important footage ever shot in rock history ...
Thanks KingCrimson Veto for this upload. We need more people like you.
Rest In Peace Greg Lake.😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man the way Lake comes in with « Blood rack » is one of the most badass, sexy, angry thing I ever heard
Great bassist and singer Rest InPeace Greg Lake
I was there (in spirit) 😄
