- Jansen Barbieri Karn (with Steven Wilson and Theo Travis) from the Abstract Day set. There's a bunch of copies of this on youtube, but tend to be bad quality and/or with sound hopelessly out of sync. Fixed the sound as much as possible and jacked the upscaling so the bitrate would be decent.
0:00 - Sleeper Awake
07:58 - Plaster The Magic Tongue
13:33 - Long Tales Tall Shadows
18:30 - Beginning to Melt

OK Richard
BEEN on it since the start Richard is Undervalued big time
Mick Karn, The greatest ever, what a massive loss to the world.
Mick Karn was not from this Earth. I remain always breathless at seeing his bass playing touch. Eternal respect.
3 members from Japan and Steven Wilson. SO GOOD.
I always enjoy watching Mick Karn perform. What a talent.
perform, not sing...
Totally! very inspiring!
@@sandygrungerson1177I liked his singing on "Titles"
@@rachelar huh, ill check it out.... i was being smwt facetious, no one sings all that great live
Mr Natural,!
Jansen's always been one of my favourite drummers. Hugely under-appreciated, IMO.
Agree...so tight,has an interesting sound when writing, generally underrated
My also
And a huge influence according to Gavin Harrison.
Most definitely. I’ve been hooked on his grooves since I first heard Oil on Canvas in ‘86-been a big fan ever since. His beat on Taking the Veil is sublime.
I agree, he comes from another place entirely. And he looks so cocksure and sexy on the back photo of Tin Drum.
A feast for the ears Mick is phenomenal. His passing is a great loss🥲
Mick Karn sadly missed.
Yes, Gareth - I was shocked to read this. I (ignorantly) had no idea.
very much so
...and Marcel Jacob, and Bob Birch AAAANNNNDDD Sean Malone!!
Richard Barbieri just KILLIN IT! What a great band!!
What a band of superlative musicians! And impressive to see a baby Steven Wilson and of course, R.I.P., Mick Karn, one of the very best. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the posting this, Mick Karn is/was possibly the best player of bass guitar in the modern era. 💖
One of the most underrated bands ever... true craftsmen.
Steven you beautiful bastard. Great guitar tones
Japan's members except David Sylvian and always their caracteristic sound with the Porcupinetree's leader.
Great and very interesting, thanks
Really appreciate you doing this, I was the backline tech on this gig and the radio session they did, I've never seen this as I was sat just off stage left focused on Steve Jansen.
Now that’s a memory to have 👏
Stunning if only Japan had continued perhaps Steve Wilson would of joined as a guitarist during the 90s in my dreams obviously mick passed away so talented
These guys make it look effortless-- even Steve Jansen as he pounds the drum heads-- and that's one of the aspects of this band that is so very cool. The music is superb.
Met Theo when he played with Soft Machine amazingly talented fella.
M karn was ahead of his time. RIP buddy
Super talented musicians! Steve Jansen is such a great drummer....
Thanks for posting am a big fan of Japan and these guys are just brilliant musicians they done a track with Midge Ure called Cry which was outstanding.Mick Khan is a bass god that’s for sure RIP.
I love it..peace for mick...thank you for this wonderful sound
Really amazing music. Mick Karn is from another planet ❤️💯
It's fabulous , mysterious , hunting , beautiful ,unique , psychedelic !!!!
Best music, whilst high in an uncharted forest, to hunt to. :]
I would pay top dollar to see this live RIP Mick!!
Mick, forever.
Still a great groove in 2021.
Still a great groove in 2023.
I was lucky enough to catch this tour at the London Astoria 2 on 12th April 97, fantastic night
Thank you for posting these great artists and composers.
Best bass player and drummer/percussionist of all times.
Blimey! That was epic! To my eternal shame I had no idea these guys put this together... Fan now.. RIP Mick K....
Really interesting to see and hear this stuff, thanks for posting. What a singular player Mick was RIP.
Brilliant job!…Thank you Lukasz for your work/efforts to bring this amazing performance to the World. 🥰
Love, absolutly love beginning to melt.
Brilliant. They are almost drifting in to the arena of prog rock (except so much better). Mick looks so different with eyebrows. God speed, Mick.
A bit too close to prog. Could do with less guitar
28:02 Mick waved at somebody, how sweet 🤗
wow this such a great upload. I think Mick had such a great tone , and perfect restraint and syncopation i have been listening to Japan catalog last week love it please keep it posted up.
TIN DRUM
Thank you for your work on the video. The quality is great, especially the audio. Well done!
NOTABLE!! Primera vez que veo a esta mega banda!! Qué musicazos!! Tremendo Mick Karn! Cómo suena ese bajo por Dios!! Gracias por compartir!!
Easily my favourite drummer of all time
Thanks for your work. These artists deserve better than a dump from an overused VHS :)
Wilson should re-mix some of their studio material. Hint, hint.
A Wilson remaster would be fine. A Bill Laswell rework would be divine!
@@stanleyscott9786 Had to look up Bill Laswell. Glad I did. 👍
@@Thewestslopeyeah he should do something useful he's good at
Amazing jam. I know nothing about Japan and these incredible musicians from that band. That needs to change!
Japan were awesome well ahead of they're time ! I had the privelage of them in my life in my late teens early 20s till they split in 83😫. Enjoy you're in for a real treat 👌👍🎸
Thanks so much. Much improved audio and sooooo good to have it in sync.
The best guys without the other.
Amazing musicianship. A old diamond.
JBK are and always will be my favorite band of all time, thats progrock that is still progressive, as is the solo output of its members.
Thank you (and well done on the syncing!) Love Karn's cheeky little wave toward the end of the fourth song… very sadly missed.
Jansen & Karn !!!!
One word, brilliant !!
Amazing.
Never heard this before. Really good!
Wow, thank you so much for this cleaned-up version!!
you're welcome! Am slightly surprised it became a bit popular.
@@ZeeKat, the video is incredibly well-loved among Japan/JBK fans. Over the years, I've watched it over and over and over again. And now I can watch a clean version over and over again!!! I will share it on Facebook. I'm not in any Japan/JBK-related FB groups anymore, but I still have plenty of friends whom I've met through those groups. I'm sure they will spread the word ;)
In musical history, who will be remembered as the most talented musician on this stage?
Definitely that one lanky guy with the long blonde hair! 😂
I can't believe have known PT for over 10 years now, and never came across this. Beginning to melt is just incredible, and the quality is amazing too. Thanks so much for the upload !
Also how young Barbieri and Wilson look here
11th edition of Steven Wilson's Complete Discography has over 900 pages. It's a lifetime's worth of discovering SW was playing something, somewhere on somebody elses album and barely anybody knew :)
@@ZeeKat amazing way of putting it. You are 100% right and that’s what music is all about. Thanks again for the post !
@@ZeeKat 30 minutes ago I thought you were making a nice joke. Now I know you weren't. I am utterly shocked...
@@uralb he's been busy the last forty years or so
And again Steven Wilson on guitar.
What fantastic artitist! it rarely happens that some people experience success with one group and then start playing something completely different
Richards Synth rig !! Wow 🤩
easy to recognize his beloved Prophet5, but I wonder what are the thingies behind him
The small white modular - is it an EML Electrocomp?
@@ZeeKat Yes, that big board? with the drumsticks on it. Never seen it.
Just brilliant.
Thanks for posting this! I missed my one chance to see them live.
Micks' bass starting at 1:13 gives me the chills ! Haunting sound
Own 3 Barbieri solo albums but this is the first time I listen to this. I like it! Plus I always liked Steven Wilson on lead guitar.
Karn is just fabulous on bass. How did I miss this?
Too bad that JBK with Wilson and Travis did not put out several studio albums. Wilson on guitar fits really well with JBK.
I have no idea what the dynamic was like between Jansen and Wilson but imagine if the two of them had co-produced JBK studio albums.....
Some reason in "Sleepers Awake," the sections at 3:03, 4:36, 5:55, and 6:42 just are really strong. Can't place my finger on it, but this live version has a lot more depth to it than the studio version. It also does well highlighting how tight Karn and Jansen were.
The guitar at the beginning of Long Tales Tall Shadows always reminds me of the guitar in Dominion (Mother Russia) by The Sisters of Mercy.
Too much talent here 👌🏻
Che talenti semplicemente meravigliosi
Many thanks for posting this, great artists and a great performance!
Thanx for this man!
You're welcome! Those guys made some brilliantly weird music.
I say thank you too!
Saw them perform live at the London Astoria the year before. Steven Wilson was in the audience ((with the remaining members of Porcupine Tree I presumed).
Always underrated in whatever they did as a collective or solo, wish I’d seen this before, thanks for posting x
so good
Lovely. Thank you.
Am building a fret-less Bass,with a through neck from oak/ purple-heart.Out of respect of this MAN.
Sublime.
Wow! This is choice stuff!
This music should be in UNESCO !!!
VERY GOOD...........................................................................................................
Love this.
THANK YOU 🙏
The máster Mick Karn on fretless bass and his unique aproach the instrment
The eyes are over you mike and gife you e warm smile from me.
Fascinating how Karn (almost) never looks at his bass neck...
not much to see on the fretless neck most of the time, I guess
I love him but his intonation is out in places throughout this.
I wonder if much of that is intentional, the dissonance is cool at times.
I'd actually argue for a third perspective: the intonation is unimportant. Whether or not it was intentional doesn't really matter.
@@ZeeKatIts a well known fact that Mick never tuned his bass either !
Superb!
Luscious!
This is great. Too bad there aren't more JBK and Mick Karn live videos available in high quality. There are a few, but the quality is very poor.
Brilliant
DIVINE
The best band of all time
Probably not the best song to choose but whenever i listened to JBK at times they gave off an almost ethereal sound when playing & its difficult at times to try & not go for a preference of individual acts or those who are more into experimental/proggressive & collaborative acts that join together to make a complete & whole song , which is done by each members contribution to choose to & allow music to go in a specific direction...
With Micks Solo work , along with The Dolphin Brothers/Davids solo work & everything that these musicians did that was completely off the grain or rails that apart from Rob's unfortunate sacking/let go Et al each & everyone of them contributed to music in a way that it might take too many decades or more for others to truly hear where all of these men were going within the confines of their work..
Though i should really change confines as this group of men were the exact opposite & thankfully they all played music in a time that was always open to any style/sound & genre & was one of the biggest industries that made Hollywood seem like a child asking for permission to go to an ice cream van for some ice cream , no diubt the latter could have a much better analogy but at the moment im too tired to care & those of a higher thinking should know what i meant , ot did they... lol
Basically the Music Industry was as IF not mote brutal than the Hollywood Years of Studios calling the shots until up to the start of thr 70s , as the Studio System of operating was not far from bring officially described as dead but movies were still being made by these new young gun directors that didnt want to be controlled & manipulated though ill admit tgere were still elements of studio affect thst still tried to keep these maverick directors under their control but thid was just can old archaic industry that was not now being run like that anymore , but yrs of course actors were tied to contracts just as they are today but IF you thought the Movie Industry was brutal then youd never been on the end on a Music Industry that treated solo acts & bands almost akin to Gladiators going to fight & hope they survived for another day...
The Music Industry makes the Movie Industry seem like childs play & it would cut any solo act or band off & out IF it was treating theses acts as IF they were tumours that had to be cut out to stop their infection from spreading...
But even the Music Industry had to take a back seat & see IF it experienced what such progressive act's could deliver & thankfully there were those who nurtured such solo acts & bands but lets not get all blushing about these people who made big decisions as For every action , there is an equal & opposite reaction & boy did the Mudic Industry bathe in the blood of those who they were happy to take credit fo things they shouldn't have & wrapped up all too quick to sign acts & bands so eager to become rich & famous that they didnt think to read the fine print but i will admit that somrone must have been in the corner of every member of Japan...
Though as i've said unlike Rob Dean who was gone just as they were getting further & furthet ahead by bringing in even mote new fans & though any fan's at the time of " Japan " split, should have known these men had already had back up plans but even I look back a wonder how such a collective group of men create songs & instrumentals that even Presenters that introduced them before they played Live said " they were perplexed " yet same Presenter was in the same age group shows us how even those with a solo acts or bands were still too ahead of their time for those the music could be directed towards but its that old saying of leading a horse to water but you cant make it drink...
I would say that at a certain age Most IF Not All Fan's were on the same wave length of the bands they followed but there were some that took a lot more of a leap of faith to see where these cat's where going & no doubt their Manager & Record Companies made a great profit from such acts , we knew it wasn't fair , but for men like Richard/Mick/Steven & David had the foresight to back each one of them & told them to go & do what you do best & with a rare phenomenon that saw these people who make all the decisions at least gave each & evetyone of them a chance to succeed or fail & know from the exact point that the genesis of such a band like " Japan " still got a Record Deal/Manager & a shot of bringing something completely different from what any other band has brought before until this day & for whatever bad points these people had I still say Thank You for allowing " Japan " & all its various side projects get the chance to be heard & not just heard but at time giving them more artistic freedom that most music fan's took for granted...
But again you only survive in an industry like the Music Industry as long as you have a fan base that willing to keep buying & listening to their music & this should never be taken for granted , were as now , that such talent couldn't just be picked out from a group of people a Music produced TV Show rarely anyone I know watches as its so cringeworthy from start to finish that its sad to see the world has been reduced to such low level tactics to TRY & FIND TRUE TALENT when it used to be in an innumerable & sheer abundance over talent that flowed out from the Music Industry every single day but not now but we at still have their music to listen to & use as a point of access or access point to play & hopefully as I see on UA-cam that's the true talent can at least be found there but it's trying to create a platform that will see others want to go & pay to see such acts...
Yes we have various Music Festivals & though great they're not there to nurture & back a solo act or band & IF we can somehow turn this around then Music might become as hugely popular as it was for all those many decades...
.....
Grazie Luka
wow this is brilliant clearly Japan was not just Davis Silvian what a great concert
Mick Karn what a great bass player. Gone too soon
thanks for unlocking memories
just such a shame they couldn't have made it work with Sylvian in the 90s beyond the Raintree Crow maybe allowing themselves considering their love of electronica to be influenced by acid house .
PARABÉNS.. great video... mike karn
Lo que tocaban aún no sé a inventado creando música para el futuro de la propia música
Sublime sounds...Mick etc the best!
A Freeking J😊em,They could take on the `Dream any-day...and State Azure ,dam sure of it.And in 360 deg Sound
❤❤❤❤❤❤
cool
all of their solo outputs.
