Incredible that such a nice human performance gets 100, 1000 times less thumbs up than silly kittens reacting on lights or shadow, feathers and toys. This deserves millions and millions of appreciating nods !
That's because this music is cerebral, it engulfs the mind. Liking a kitten video is a low-effort, low-IQ thing... easy to do, costs nothings.... Quality and quantity tend to be mutually exclusive.
I've been an IQ fan since 1983. I miss this line up for years, now.... November 20, 2023 I finally saw IQ for the first time, June, 1999 at Foy Hall , University of Moravian college, Bethlehem, N.J. as part of the excellent 12 year series of NEARFEST ( North East Art Rock FESTival) 1999-2012 ( no festival 2011).
Isn't Mike Holmes a stunning guitarist? Makes the endless complexity of IQ look so effortless. He's obviously a big Hackett fan, but it's not a copyist thing at all. He has a deftness and accuracy rarely seen in any form of music 😊
The smoothness of that transition from Peter to Mike's guitar solo at 04:12 is just incredible. It even stands more out here live than in the studio version. Great band and so many great songs!
I have seen this band four times and each time it was a transcendental experience. They take you on a musical journey, uplifting, occasionally reminding us that they are a Prog band, but always with a breathtaking ending to the journey.
Wunderschöne Melodien episch instrumentalisieren...können heute wohl nur noch sehr wenige. Welch ein genialer Song...zwischendurch beginnt man leicht zu fliegen ;-)
For all the dreamers,best music ever. The voice of Peter is today as good as in the beginnings. Hope,they create music till my end. Enjoy every titel,they made. Thanx for all the " Gänsehautmoments" in my life.
Of the thousands and thousands of songs I've heard and enjoyed in my lifetime, I believe this ranks as my number 1. It's just absolutely positively brilliant. I had the luck of a lifetime to have witnessed a live performance in 2009 in Pennsylvania when IQ played in concert. I'll never forget the way it sounded, as long as I shall live.
Subterrania is one highlight from a career full of them. The Narrow Margin is the perfect ending and an emotional rollercoaster of incredible depth. Buy the album. Play it again and again from beginning to end...
It's amazing that Peter Nichols voice has held up so remarkably since this show in '99. I saw IQ in 2012 at RoSFest. It was better than outstanding! I'd never heard of them before I saw them on the bill, then seeing them live. They've certainly been in my five ever since!
In my 40+ years as a prog fan, I've seen every major band live at least once. These guys are as good as anyone; only Camel, Gentle Giant and Horslips can compete with them for me. Their musicianship is breathtaking and they write stunning music. I was hoping to see them play all of Subterranea live in Bury on Sat 10th Nov (the last time they will ever do so) but thought I was away. When I found out I wasn't, it had sold out and I'm gutted. See them live at least once in your life!
The best thing for walking long distances, forever, on own feet or on skis. The maximum speed is on the 10-th minute, starts on 8:54 till 9:55, and when John and Mike play beside each other, between 13:38 and 15:23. Another such is Deep Purple - Child In Time, for smaller distances.
Always thought it was pretty clever of them to craft that section towards the end (13:38-15:30), where they vamp the 14/16 + 12/16 + 14/16 + 14/16 riff. The combination of Martin repeating the motif up a minor 3rd every time this 4 bar pattern repeats, along with the notes of the bass-line, results in a series of modulations of the overall key signature, which, at a certain point, actually ends up being lowered by a half-step (a common trick in the iQ catalog) before working its way back up to C# Mixolydian. What an interesting juxtaposition of 2 independently modulating parts! Then, finally at the end of this section, we have the last 2 chords (Bb & G#) replaced with an Ab(add9)/Bb & a G, before resolving on a C that paves way for the return of the album's signature progression (C, Am, G, F). Fantastic!
Not much of a theoretical musician here, but can one say that this section is in 27/8 time? Or it doesn't really work that way? This is probably my favorite instrumental passage by IQ, tied with the one in It All Stops Here.
Да чего ж потрясающая композиция! Welcome IQ in Russia! Только ради неё одной сходил бы на концерт. А здесь всё так потрясающе сделано - голос у Питера более выразительный, чем на альбоме. А инструменталисты все такие аккуратненькие - в одинаковых белых рубашках, скромные, но потрясающие профессионалы! На 8:53 Майк делает жест рукой - приготовьтесь мол, щас будет супердрайв! Под эту драйвовую часть хочется залихватски мчать по хайвею на мотоцикле, или хотя бы на велике по велотреку. Кстати, это одна из моих любимых вещей при передвижении на большие расстояния, в том числе и при катании на велосипеде. И скорость передвижения прямо пропорциональна темпу музыки.
Thankyou so much for this video, i know you posted it 3 years ago but I have just come across it now!!!!! I love IQ, seen them 4 times now, and they just get better and better, and this track is one I especially love (next to Harvest of Souls) Thanks again!
I am a German. I can´t read and write english wrong! I am glad, that someone wrote back and understands me. This is the good thing of the net. IQ one of my favourites. I have buy 6 CD from my own Money. Go to record store and something else!
It's so amazing song! Welcome IQ in Russia! Just for it one I should go to their concert. Peter's voice is here more expressive than on the album. All of these instrumentalists are dressed in identical white shirts, they're modest but great professionals! At 8:53, Mike makes a gesture with his hand - be ready, right now we'll do a superdrive! Under this drive part I want to ride on the highway on a motorcycle, or at least on a bike on the cycle track. By the way, this is one of my favorite things when traveling long distances, including when I ride a bicycle. And the speed of movement is directly proportional to the tempo of the music.
IQ is the best neo-progressive group I heard. Why it's unknown in Russia? In my current life I won't be a musician, it's precisely. But if I would play in a band in my next life my band will play such music as IQ.

Thanks to this composition I always listen to the whole album IQ "Subterranea" with starting "High Waters" and "The Narrow Margin", when I go skiing in the forest in my neighborhood.
Esta es una de las mas Hermosas Suites que se han realizado en el Rock Progresivo Sinfónico¡¡, su feeling, y su bucolismo es un Viajeee¡¡

November 20, 2023
I finally saw IQ for the first time,
June, 1999 at Foy Hall , University of Moravian college, Bethlehem, N.J. as part of the excellent 12 year series of NEARFEST
( North East Art Rock FESTival)
1999-2012 ( no festival 2011).
Subterranea is one of the shining lights in a brilliant catalogue of music and this is its crowning glory.
The most under estimated band of the world.
Real Skillers they are !!
Zeitlos schön. Großartige Künstler. John on bass Martin on keys, Cookie on drums and Peters amazing voice❤🎉👍🎹🎤🎼🎸
This band definitely deserves to play in huge venues. Beautiful music !
This is surely one of the best songs ever written by IQ, if not the best !
Isn't Mike Holmes a stunning guitarist? Makes the endless complexity of IQ look so effortless. He's obviously a big Hackett fan, but it's not a copyist thing at all. He has a deftness and accuracy rarely seen in any form of music 😊

Thank you Pete, Mike, Martin, John and Paul for helping me lose extra kilograms!
Seeing IQ for the first time now in March in Sweden. Can't wait, and I hope they play this beatiful gem of a song
Wunderschöne Melodien episch instrumentalisieren...können heute wohl nur noch sehr wenige. Welch ein genialer Song...zwischendurch beginnt man leicht zu fliegen ;-)
Sehe ich genauso. Schade das Orford (keys) nicht mehr dabei ist.
For all the dreamers,best music ever. The voice of Peter is today as good as in the beginnings. Hope,they create music till my end. Enjoy every titel,they made. Thanx for all the " Gänsehautmoments" in my life.

Was is it at Nearfest?
@@WilliamScharfno three rivers prog festival in 2009 in Pennsylvania. Wish there was a live CD or DVD floating around
Absolute masterpiece from start to beautiful finish IQ set the benchmark so high time and again
One of my all-time favorite songs in the history of music!
Subterrania is one highlight from a career full of them. The Narrow Margin is the perfect ending and an emotional rollercoaster of incredible depth. Buy the album. Play it again and again from beginning to end...
I was there, excellent concert and for me is this song the best song i ever heard
I was there too, great show, lasted for over 4 hours!
Goosebumps especially when this beautiful keyboardsolo is coming in13:33. IQ isGreat!!
Absolutely breath-taking at times, especially at about 15:29 into the song. Such depth of emotion welling up, like a volcano of sublime musical power!
Excellent!!!! What a BLESSING!!!

See them live at least once in your life!
This group is FANTASTIC !!!
Happy birthday, Peter!
So unglaublich unterschätzt, diese Band! Ein Kunstwerk!
Deep, magic, soul, trascendence, thanks IQ.
Profundo, mágico, alma, trascendente. Alejandro, España
This is one of the best symforock tracks ever.great.
Always amazing to see live! Love this tune as well. Nice work IQ
Fantastic, what a sound! Can hardly believe this is all entirely live.
Capolavoro, grandissima suite di chiusura di un capolavoro di disco
IQ is a great band! Thanks for your comment my friend ;)
IQ ist eine großartige Band! Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar mein Freund;)
Sublime music, IQ, I love you!
Love these music and this guys !
GREAT SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!
21 years ago...God I feel old. Brilliant Live band and the new album's pretty good too. If you get the chance, go see them live.
Saw them live many times, they are great!!
Filmed this in Quebec City in 2013...

I wish you to see them one day... :))
Das ist soooooooooooooo schön !!! Was ist nur aus der Musik geworden,nur noch Castingschrott !!!
Fast so schön wie 'Further away'.

I.Q Is sadly an underated prog rock band.
awesome music.

I was there.it was incredible... We saw the flower Kings a few nights later at 1776 in Verviers Belgium .It was a great trip.
Robert Marchionne Lucky man
Adoro
what a beautiful video and song!!
Prog Rock heaven.
Best version of this song. xD.
I saw them at Stairways, Birkenhead in 1984 or 1985. Their encore was White Punks On Dope by The Tubes.
Sensacional ♥️

super
They played Subterranea [full album] live 2 years ago in De Boerderij, The Netherlands, during their 30 year celebration. Happy my daugher and I were a part of it ;)
Brilliance
Peerless...no chance for the cream of the neo-prog crowd to match this. Shows how much they have matured as a live band, possibly beyond anyone else.
es todo una obra de arte
Subterranea -"The Lamb lies down on Broadway" of 90's :) Mebe even better?!
Better??? I don't think so!
Peter Nicholls is the greatest vocalist, better than everyone from progressive rock.
Maybe He is!
@prognuthead IQ is just great on this vid;))
Is there any fool like me who wants to pull up an IQ coverband in Rome?
Yeah if I was in Rome
@mroblongo
Thanks for the erased comment;)
I agree with you this is an amazing show!!!
More to come sub if you like;)
Why won't they come to Sweden!!!!!!
No idea why i deleted the first comment. Anyway... this is Nichols best vocal performance of this song. Middle section 5:30 - 8:40 :D
@habbonatica Me alegro que te guste mi amigo:))
Великая группа
Paul Cook! ;)
Awesome audio!!!, where was the concert ?
wtf: 22 jaar later en nog steeds niets aan kracht ingeboet. Zwaar ondergewaardeerde Progrock...maar ja dan blijft het wel lekker exclusief
Nerdy question: any hint for counting or the pattern of the accents from 2:29 to 2:56? Thanks!
?? What?
Big music fan, mostly of prog rock. This may be my all time favorite song. Just truly fantastic in every way. Thank you for posting
