Such an extremely creative composition of unique and skilled musicians is far too rare! As a drummer I'm very inspired by Bill Bruford, but also this whole amazing band is really inspiring.
One of my all time favourite songs ever made. While not strictly sounding like a King Crimson song, you can tell from the feeling you get listening to it that the most talented musicians of all time created this masterpiece. Thanks Bill
Phenomenal sound wonderful vocals 🙌 i really loved the Beat, discipline and Three of a perfect pair era brings back great memories I'll never forget seeing Three of a perfect pair tour in the Queen Elizabeth Theater Vancouver BC 👌👏
This incarnation of KC and tours left such an impression on me. I remember sitting in the audience realizing for myself how transcendent it was. This song is so special for many reasons. It gave me hope for the future back then. While I’m older and I suppose more jaded than I was then, I also can’t deny how hopeless the world is today. Thanks Bill for this bit of the past and love the description. As a guitar player learning about the art of rhythm, percussion and drums is always appreciated.
Yeah, the question of when to play and why isn't asked nearly enough. When Neil Peart released his first video in the 90s, a couple of my drummer friends said "the drumming's great, but there's too much talking!" I was taken aback by this, because I thought the talky bits were what made the video so good! Showing what was played and how it was played is useless without discussing *why* it was played.
Bill - always a fan of your time on the throne in whatever musical masterwork you participated. What I find amazing is that when I was a lad (mid 20s) I heard Adrien play Heartbeat on his solo album Young Lions and I was just gobsmacked. I was entranced at the guitar voicing, rhythms and composition. It was only a few years ago that I discovered that he recorded this with King Crimson previous.
I don't know why but that moment when Bill starts playing the snare drum is ALWAYS a tone running through my body and tickles my soul....!! there are thousands of drummers using the supraphonic (including myself), but its HIS tone.....
This song always reminds me of a girl I met in fell in love with in 1982. We lost contact over the years (live many states away) but reconnected in 2020. We still keep in touch but just like this song, it’s incomplete. 😢
Definitely on film. The colors are a giveaway. If this was from videotape it would look grainy because of the lighting (or rather the lack of it) and have disturbance bands all over it.
Def film and 35mm to boot... Looks like a 3 camera shoot, Long Master Static shot, Roving Side medium shot and Roving Close-up. I fought video for so long but couldn't compete cost wise. ...We learned how to shoot video and make it look as close to film as possible using great lighting, matte boz and Tiffen filters... All the tricks but what u see is is what u get with video/digital....film you best know what you're doing.

As usual Bill's exceptional with King Crimson. Nothing but!

Bill's applied dialog in the description is a timeless lesson that is always apt to nearly all situations one will ever encounter.
His description add a whole new depth on the insight on what he was and is thinking. It’s the greatest thing the internet has to offer.

My favourite song on Beat without question

This is the best era of the KC for me. Also love this song, but like the version recorded in the AB's solo album a lot better.
I love this song. Even now it seems like an object that fell to earth like a shooting star - strange, wonderful and ancient.
Great comment!
Beautiful song!
Das beste song King Crimson , klaszysz progresiw rock 👍 .

Sublime...💓

Such masters in each instrument playing a wonderful song!
Un tema genial ,la cadencia de Crimson es inigualable !!🤩
Great memories...... Great band.
Great commentary on the drum part; I never thought too much about the drums in this song before.
Légendes ces musiciens là ! Superbe !
Looks like you are playing an early version of 'The Beast'! You are absolutely one of my favorite drummers of all time! E. Doc Smith agrees.

Saw kc on the thrak tour
Thank you for the advice in the description!
I've played this song along with other songs from this era of KC, and this song always makes the girls want to slow dance.
Great video.
Keith Moon passed away in ‘78 while KC was on hiatus, by the early ‘80’s BB was & is the greatest living rock drummer.
Is that film?? Everyone was using videotape but that sure looks like film to me. Interesting....
Definitely on film. The colors are a giveaway. If this was from videotape it would look grainy because of the lighting (or rather the lack of it) and have disturbance bands all over it.

As always, your comments entertain and enlighten (and I'm not a drummer by any stretch).
Geeez this song is from 1982??! I thought it was from the 90’s!
👍👍👍
😊 ✨
If Asia had covered this, it would have been a worldwide hit.
(:
You might be on to something, John Wetton on vocals?
John Wetton was who I thought of first.
(:
Give AI a few years
I kinda doubt it would be a hit now.
(:
1:10 look at Fripp's reaction when he gets photographed
What look? He hardly looked over
