I was there! Concert Extra! Some pieces of Massacre sounds like SBB from the early of 70’s, especially from the first album . Recorded 30 years earlier!
Roskilde Festival had a Laswellapalooza in 2003, with a Laswell band playing each day. When Massacre were set to play the smallish "Arena" stage (tent), quite a few younger, Metallista-looking people started to show up in the ½-hour before start time. It became fairly obvious that these kids were hoping to see the Florida metal band of the same name... After they left, within the first couple of minutes, there were maybe a couple of hundred of us left.
Un tel iconoclasme, une telle grandeur, un tel improbable paysage cosmique plein de ténèbres, de lumière, de peur et d’émerveillement et surtout de mystère, avec des déflagrations qui vous plongent dans une transe suivie de changements soudains qui vous réveillent, les yeux écarquillés et les sourcils frissonnants. J'écoute cela de temps en temps depuis des lustres et j'entends encore de nouvelles subtilités 🔥
Quelle journée admirable ! J’ai passé toute la matinée étendu sur l’herbe, devant ma maison, sous l’énorme platane qui la couvre, l’abrite et l’ombrage tout entière. J’aime ce pays, et j’aime y vivre parce que j’y ai mes racines, ces profondes et délicates racines, qui attachent un homme à la terre où sont nés et morts ses aïeux, qui l’attachent à ce qu’on pense et à ce qu’on mange, aux usages comme aux nourritures, aux locutions locales, aux intonations des paysans, aux odeurs du sol, des villages et de l’air lui-même ! (Maupassant / Le Horla)
To me this is the music of Heaven - God's house band - (if there is such a place, presided over by such a Verb) - playful, provocative, challenging, disturbing, sublime...
When I bought my first Massacre Record "killing time" in 1986 I wrote onto the cover: "Endlich alt genug für diese Scheibe" (finally old enaugh for this record... :)
If you like Frith's playing, you'll dig Bill Horist as well. Frith is probably his biggest influence, but he's no imitator... he takes the ideas in another direction.
As much as I enjoy King Crimson and the work of Robert Fripp, Henry Cow and the work of Fred Frith moves way beyond the former in complexity, beauty, fearsomeness and instrumental prowess. To not get this, to me, means your brain is stuck in a 21st Century Conventional Song Structure Feedback Loop. Remember when Fripp was railing against the big dinosaur bands, including his own? Frith took it to heart, never did one, never needed to. It's kind of like the difference between Louie Armstrong and John Coltrane. And did I mention that Frith is flat-out, the way superior guitar player?
Personally, I prefer Fripp and King Crimson's discipline and more aggressive and structured approach, while really enjoying the shit out of Frith's playing in this video. They have and had different goals and aesthetics (just like Armstrong and Coltrane for that matter), and both realized them brilliantly. So to argue over which was was better strikes me as juvenile.
What in the Hell do King Crimson and Henry Cow have in common? How about if I said......As much as I enjoy Scott Henderson and Tribel Tech, I prefer Jimi Hendrix, both with the Experience and Band of Gypsys. Yeah, a tough call I know - they are so similar. Just like even though Ritchie Blackmore is a technically better player, I prefer Jack Black because he's a nicer guy. If Blackmore wasn't such a colossal asshole, then...it'd be a tough choice. I like John Zorn better than Korn...for sure.
@@Bix12Ok shut up already What they have in common is that they both do progressive music, with different approaches to it ofc, and he is just comparing the two approaches. So what is your problem? things dont have to be completely fucking identical to compare them. And Fripp did try to do experimental music with similiar structures to this in his solo career
God, thank you, rstuvwx y ! ! ! They play NOTHING alike! This phenomenon amounts to nothing more than people with concrete ears dropping a name and hoping to impress. They impress me alright...perhaps not quite in the way they intended, though.
"I like my art-rock messy, like early Mahavishnu" - eh? If you still remember what you meant, please could you explain? I don't at all understand the description of early Mahavishnu as 'messy',
A bit difficult to get over how crappy the sound is. First tried to listen on my 'phone and thought it had gone wrong. Frith's guitar seems consistently low in the mix. When Hayward plays the melodica occasionally it's much louder!
I saw Fred Frith as a solo many years ago. I didn't know he could play this good. I'm impressed.
What a lineup! Three of my favorite musicians. Charles Hayward is a total madman! I’ve got to see him several times. This Heat is the best.
Add zeena parkins & elliot sharpe
Cosey Fanni Tutti howe gelb john zorn maybe David wojnarvich
the biggest country rock hits! -cuts back to frith playing his guitar with a drumstick under the strings
I was there! Concert Extra!

Yes, the bassist from Naked City is also THIS GUY! FF has had one hell of a musical journey from Henry Cow to now…
Byłem tam!Zajebisty koncert!
Everyday I'm more surprised about youtube... Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for posting this most amazing band who had their start some 35 (!) years ago. You simply HAVE to love Fred playing his 335 with a paint brush!!

great. very live wire stuff, thanks for posting.
Miło sobie przypomnieć po latach. To był fantastyczny koncert!
If you've ever seen the documentary w him and Evelyn Glennie it's truly fascinating. Firth is a unique voice in the music world.
touch the sound is a great documentary. love frith's cheeky humor and storytelling in his brief appearance
Absolutely mindblowing 💥
Fantastic! I have seen all of them live, but never together. Great musicians!
Absolutely awesome soundscape!
Saw them at InRoads gallery in SoHO-NYC in '80. Maher on drums. Same stuff. Long may they rock!
Great music; thanks for posting. Also love the incongruous commercial interlude at around 30:23.
F..King Great...thanks for sharing alexsh! .)
always fantastic......

Thank you. Giving him a try and enjoying it. Try Janet Feder if you haven't already. She collaborated with Mr. Frith.
found him through Secret Chiefs 3. He's featured on a track called Ubik
still love it!!
Search Sonny Sharrock Last Exit
Saw them @Creteil// sons d'hiver // 13 02 2015... Fucking good band!! ENORMOUS!!!!!!!!!!
Frith and Fripp are compadres / mindbrothers.. but not comparable with each others..
Exactly, well said
as much as I know they pretty much hate each other
Fripp and Frith aren't haters, they're lovers. Their paths just haven't crossed.
Total fan :)
This was great, thanks!

Quit comparing Frith with Fripp. They're just guitarists with similar last names! Shut up!
Right, man. It does not make sense, du compare Santana withMcLaughlin etc. They all got their own style - and I love them all: because of the music!
They're not even remotely comparable in my opinion.
Never mind the bollocks bruh
God, thank you, rstuvwx y ! ! !

What about Frisell?
NICE.
I like my art-rock messy, like early Mahavishnu. And new bands in the stoner-prog genre like Jerusalem Witch.

Best power trio rockin' out since Townsend, Entwistle and Moon.
14:37 love spontaneity like this
Refreshingly bizarre and different.

One word: professors!
Is this a shred video ?
Le fichier est pourri (pub au milieu, sautes de niveau de son). Dommage !
King Crimson is completely constipated by comparison. Might as well be Burl Ives.
is this Rush?
kind of puts Rush and Cream&King Crimson 74'(- David Cross,-Eddie Jobson) in a lame place, huh ?! lol! No, Music has no competition !
Fucking legends
4:52
