Can’t wait to see this with Beat in Denver ! Love King Crimson so much. My Aunt showed me this show on a bootlegged VHS when I was a kid. Been hooked ever since !
My wish is that Robert Fripp, who now owns the King Crimson catalog, has tapes of this tour locked somewhere in the vault and releases a box set of shows from this era.
I do think they’re good! The fact is no matter how closely I listen, no matter how I take them apart, no matter how I break them down… They remain consistent
This song killed the nihilism inside me and gave me spiritual peace, thank you Bill Bruford and all the wonderful King Crimson, for creating this universal song
80s King Crimson is the best era because it contains lots of fun crazy themes, but it often forgoes the nihilistic perspective of the rest of the band’s catalog. I think we have Adrian Belew to thank for that, but the rest of the band provides the perfect musical accompaniment. Weren’t most of this era’s song lyrics written after the music was composed?
This is my favorite KC song. The way all of the instruments segue into the song and of course, Adrian's vocals. RRHOF is long overdue, I hope they induct you soon. Thanks for the music.
Exceptional and exhilarating (yet soothing and seductive, before the guitars join in). Exemplary musicians all, but this particular track/performance is a fabulous showcase of the talents of Adrian Belew, as musician and showman.
I've watched this same bit of video on the King Crimson channel so many times I have lost count. I love Bill's percussion, and I love how they take it up a notch when Adrian joins Bill. It seems to have taken a long time for this music to gain the volume of appreciation it deserves. Friends used to give me a hard time being a huge KC fan in the early days, but I understand that the Beat tour sold out very quickly, and they are doing a lot of gigs.
I didn't know this, actually and back in the day, but I was also entranced by Reich's work (still am, tbh). *so* delighted now to find out that there was a conscious influence here
No one ever talks about the amazing feat Bill pulls off on the CD Beat re this song. HOW does he play everything you hear and what a creative mind to WHEN he plays everything you hear on the CD. Nothing shows off Bill's ability on the drums more than Waiting Man on Beat in my opinion. You get a glimpse of how he does it if you watch the intro to Bruford and the Beat.
How wonderful to know these brilliant musicians enjoyed this magical moment as much as we did. That knowledge is nearly as much a gift as the music itself. Thank you at least twice over, Mr. Bill!
Just think a minute that its wonderful as a non musician for me. So imagine performing it on stage, I hope for them looking back as it seems to me, it was indeed a special night on stage for them all. Perfect sounds all in the right order, as Eric Morcombe may say.
Waiting Man really got me in to King Crimson especially because of the long intro. I was introduced to them on Danny Carey's recommendation in an old interview.
This is one of the most memorable performances on the Neal and Jack and Me DVD, so I loved getting to read Mr. Bruford's thoughts on it. We are most fortunate to have in Bill Bruford an individual who is both musically brilliant and an erudite, articulate commentator; those two don't always go together. I can name more than one musician who puts out brilliant songs but can't say one meaningful sentence about them.
It really is wonderful to be able to read Bill's thoughts on these magic moments. It's great to know that he loved this as much as we do. It was an absolutely incredible way to begin a concert.
It’s weird, but I’m kind of glad they never didn’t get mainstream popularity outside of COTCK. Hard to describe why but it’s best for a band so good to truly be appreciated for their skills and talents then just some tiktok audio ifyk what I mean
This era was absolutely magical. Disipline, Beat and Three; Jaco Pastorius’s word of mouth; Chick Corea’s Touchstone; Allan Holdsworth’s IOU; Metheny’s First Circle; McLaughlin, Di Meola & de Lucia…… music that still fires my imagination.
This is astonishing. I love what KC are doing now (seen them live many, many times in recent years), but I yearn for new music, not continually revisiting older compositions.
You see great performances live and immensely enjoy them. And then you see this performance which is just Mad Max of all prog rock and leave alone that, the skills and talent here is just God level and to start off this strong is just showing off to the mere mortals what music's highest achievement is all about. This is what you need to aspire to.
They were so damn good... you can see where the best band ever TOOL got a lot of inspiration from... i dont want to compare they are both the best ever to do it
I thought it was going to "I'm waiting for the Man." Well had to stick around because I respect King Crimson. Also, I can see possible influence they had on Talking Heads.
Adrian and Tony are part of the BEAT band touring NOW! Playing King Crimson. It's not exactly the same as these guys, but it's good. Plenty of vids on UA-cam of that tour. Go see them!
Adrian doesn't get the credit he deserves for writing all the lyrics and vocal melodies for all the songs in his tenure with KC. Not even credited with this on the albums!
It has always been my observation that this is what the really talented musicians end up doing. The studio-level musicians, etc. They are so bored with the music of their time they get together with like-minded musicians and just make utter technical wankfests. None of it has ever spoke to me, but I've always appreciated the talent and conviction, from Yes, to Steely Dan to Toto, on and on.
One of my favourite KC concerts. it’s insane how in time Bill and Adrian are they are absolutely locked in!
Thanks for the compliment!
Can’t wait to see this with Beat in Denver ! Love King Crimson so much. My Aunt showed me this show on a bootlegged VHS when I was a kid. Been hooked ever since !
Adrian was a drummer before he was a guitarist.
Adrian was such a great lead man.
Thank you 🥰
Still is.
Still is
Still is.
My wish is that Robert Fripp, who now owns the King Crimson catalog, has tapes of this tour locked somewhere in the vault and releases a box set of shows from this era.
Its all in DGM their official page. Some of them are in better quality than others but the vault, The holy grial exists!
Almost all kc concerts are available on their website
~40 years ago, I was mesmerized by this band and this song. I carried it around with me for years and years... to see if I still liked it... I DO!!!
The more I listen to it,
The more I like it. 😎🤙
I do think they’re good! The fact is no matter how closely I listen, no matter how I take them apart, no matter how I break them down…
They remain consistent
@@SplendidCoffee0 I'm glad we're all here to see it!
I LIKE IT!
This is like listening to Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Genesis and YES all combined into 1.
This song killed the nihilism inside me and gave me spiritual peace, thank you Bill Bruford and all the wonderful King Crimson, for creating this universal song

It is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. such a good performance.
It rocks,it swings,it shuffles,it is wholly imaginative & groundbreaking.Robert Fripp is a genius.
Bill and Tony arguably are one of the best rhythm section from the last 40 years.
You could make an argument
This is my favorite KC song. The way all of the instruments segue into the song and of course, Adrian's vocals. RRHOF is long overdue, I hope they induct you soon. Thanks for the music.
Truth! RRHOF too busy inducting Dolly Parton
Agreed, on the daily playlist at least three times
I’m surprised Fripp allowed that much fun on stage. LOL😄
You should join us in Argentina for The Guitar Circle in April to see how much fun Fripp allows us to have.
bro got invited in the league of crafty guitarists with his comment
Check his youtube channel. Man is calm and professional, but he definitely has good sense of humor and likes good fun.
@@ThorneyedWThe certainly has fun goofing around with wife Toya, all those gigs in the kitchen 😄 so he deffo has a sense of humour!
Tony Levin makes playing the stick look easy..Genius player
W00t! I love this era KC. And Waiting Man was such a good jam. Tony showing off mad skills on the Chapman Stick.
I loved them in 1982, I love them now in 2024, maybe even more
Saw some renditions of 2024 via UA-cam and.. Well... It's really well copied... But where is the soul of THIS INCARNATION OF KING CRIMSON??
Exceptional and exhilarating (yet soothing and seductive, before the guitars join in).

One of My all time favorite live performances. I remember buying this album when it came-forever changed my taste in music
One of KC’s greatest moments!
It's great to hear Reich's influence in the work of the 80's Crimson and Peter Gabriel. Beautiful music!
I didn't know this, actually and back in the day, but I was also entranced by Reich's work (still am, tbh). *so* delighted now to find out that there was a conscious influence here
Who's Reich?
Steve Reich, american minimalist composer.
AMAZING ditty! Took my dad to see these guys in '83. l said ''DAD! we have to go see my favourite drummer!'' Still is my favourite.
Really, such live performance recording of Waiting Man should have been released in CDs, because it's one of my favorite KC live songs.
Still even better than the album version! Frejus has the best live performances!

Absolutely stunning! Every time I watch that I get goosebumps.... one of the many "music adventures" with Bill and KC!!!
There are already tons of boxsets
El mejor batero que escuché en vivo. Gracias!!! Cuánto talento!!!
You know what makes this song? Bill Bruford's groovy swaggin' swagger hips
Thank you for the description and background about this song Bill. Wonderful!
OMG, the outro on this version!
How i love this song!!!
One of my favorite Krimson songs
Belew-Bruford, a perfect tandem of percussive ecstasy! Thanks Mr. Bruford ;-)
Just think a minute that its wonderful as a non musician for me. So imagine performing it on stage, I hope for them looking back as it seems to me, it was indeed a special night on stage for them all. Perfect sounds all in the right order, as Eric Morcombe may say.

Brilliant masterpiece Mr. Bruford, and my favorite concert of that King Crimson era. Just awesome band.
Jesus...my dear Bill, I wonder you you can be retired after such pearls...but at the same time I understand you. Stay well :-)
It just hit me how much, esp. at this time, how much Adrian Belew looks like James Woods!
Thank you, Bill! It's one of my favorite tunes to listen to!
Super ! King Crimson is beyond time and beyond space. Adrian Belew is unique.
This is one of the most memorable performances on the Neal and Jack and Me DVD, so I loved getting to read Mr. Bruford's thoughts on it. We are most fortunate to have in Bill Bruford an individual who is both musically brilliant and an erudite, articulate commentator; those two don't always go together.

I really enjoy Bill's notes on the videos. I wish more artist did this, such wonderful insight into the music
It really is wonderful to be able to read Bill's thoughts on these magic moments. It's great to know that he loved this as much as we do. It was an absolutely incredible way to begin a concert.
I was in San Sebastian, same tour (with Roxy Music). Great show, splendid concert! King Crimson at their best!
another fantastic performance from this superb iteration of King Crimson
por dios que banda! que gran version
What a great band. Always loved this incarnation of it too. So much talent on this stage. Unbelievable music.
It’s weird, but I’m kind of glad they never didn’t get mainstream popularity outside of COTCK. Hard to describe why but it’s best for a band so good to truly be appreciated for their skills and talents then just some tiktok audio ifyk what I mean
@@BigMuggs21 Thats just not true at all, most of their albums charted in the UK top 40 and 2 of them in the top 10
God, I think I'm coming back to this vid every day for the past couple weeks. Amazing performance ❤
Magnifique ! !
Un super concert et un super souvenir ! !
Fabuleux... vraiment fabuleux !

Yes friend, I too love all those albums! If you’re not already familiar I’ll also suggest Lyle Mays’ eponymously titled first solo album. 😊
You guys have some fucking excellent taste 👍🏻
I always saw this song as a jam the band was playing around with and Adrian just started riffing the words off the top of his head.
Buen aporte Biill.
Linda época de King Crimson. Buen nivel y adaptada a los tiempos que corrían.
Saludos desde ciudad de Canelones, Uruguay.
Damn, King Crimson is weird. Love it!
This is astonishing. I love what KC are doing now (seen them live many, many times in recent years), but I yearn for new music, not continually revisiting older compositions.
Wow what great commentary Bill 👏 I've always felt a serious magick in this track and hearing you speak so highly of it makes me understand why ❤
Absolutely pure dead brilliant great to see those guys out of this world cheers don 😊
Amazing chemistry this lineup had!
Absolutely fantastic!
You see great performances live and immensely enjoy them.

This song never gets old.
Bill,uno de los mejores baterías del mundo....te conocí en el 70 con el Yes Álbum.👍❤️
Impresionante, increíble versión, la mejor!!!
Love this!
One of my favorite all-time drummers and bands. Bruford was a very esrly influence on my firdt few yesrs as a drummer.
It doesn't get better thsn this..... Fawk wish i was born and around back then
THANK YOU BILL , FOR THIS POST ❤ I TOTALLY ENJOYED THIS AN IT WAS AWESOMENESS ! 😊
Fripp is relentless!
Tony Levin! Chapman Stick!
There should be a live album available from that year!
They were so damn good... you can see where the best band ever TOOL got a lot of inspiration from... i dont want to compare they are both the best ever to do it
Hey Bill' love your stuff!
Nice share
Great video.
This is the moment that a man waited.
Hello you waiting man!
And smiled helloooo
And so, a very obvious influence on Danny Carey is revealed to me. That was amazing.
You don't get to see Bill keeping time with his hips often enough.
What a vocal performance
He still nails it today
Was there at 22 years old 🎉
You old fart... Lucky
Frppatronics on drums! One of my favorite pieces of music.
I believe they had a crown chakra opening with every performance.
DVD を所有して居ります。有難う御座居ました🎉
Brutal
Saw Bruford in 74 ' with the Yes
I thought it was going to "I'm waiting for the Man." Well had to stick around because I respect King Crimson. Also, I can see possible influence they had on Talking Heads.
This was a BAND!
The Absent Lovers Live in Montreal is another fantastic version. One to check out
Το ένστικτο και η υποκειμενική επιλογή είναι οι μοναδικοί εγγυητές της αξίας ενός έργου 😘
👍👍👍
😊 ✨
A must !
Bill !!!
Have you ever really seen anything like this?!!
Adrian and Tony are part of the BEAT band touring NOW! Playing King Crimson. It's not exactly the same as these guys, but it's good. Plenty of vids on UA-cam of that tour. Go see them!
Adrian doesn't get the credit he deserves for writing all the lyrics and vocal melodies for all the songs in his tenure with KC. Not even credited with this on the albums!
🖤🤘🏻
This was the true evolution of prog into the 80s. Not what Genesis or Yes, or any of the disappointing "supergroups" like Asia were doing.
What are you smoking and can I have some?
@@_ratherBursadboiDo some Belew-Bruford hip swaying and you'll see
@@_ratherBursadboiwhatever he's smoking, it shows him the truth.
King Crimson melhor banda prog deste planeta.
Got to agree…
He’s David Byrnes lost twin?
Thank G-d he didn’t trade in his Bruins sleeveless T-shirt for an over sized suit

Fucking killer

😄😅🤣😂
Fripp showing everybody up with the based bowtie.
Somebody was listening to The Talking Heads.
The singer/guitarist (Adrian Belew) was in Talking Heads just prior to this.
Check out Talking Heads Live in Rome 1980 (Crosseyed and Painless). Adrian Belew, the singer and guitarist here was in the Talking Heads.
