Bruford this song saved my life. I went through very hard times last year and I didn't see a way out of my problem, however, the lyrics of this song gave me a great boost to get out of there. For that I will be eternally grateful with you. Also, I really love the melody, I still can't get it out of my head because it's beautiful: every note, every second, well it's a really magical song, what a wonder is this life!
I had almost forgotten about this young and beautiful lady, and very talented singer Annette Peacock... Hmm... for nearly 45 years I didn't listen to anything related to UK .. I have followed closely Allan Holdsworth's career since the mid 80s until 2017 ( RIP Allan and John Wetton ) but I was completely unaware of this lineup with Bruford , Berlin , Peacock , Holdsworth, Stewart... Thanks to YT I have discovered this remarkable band and this excellent music, I can't believe that I was mostly unaware of all this for so long despite always looking for new stuff but so happy I discovered those tunes played by very famous musicians ... Perhaps it's a good thing in some respects since I would probably have had a huge crush for Annette P.... What a beauty... 🥰🥰
What it is....is ! This is.... what it is! I was so obsessed with this album. All my school buddies were listening to the Who or Led Zepplin, I was cranking this tape out very loudly out of my Datsun automobile, in my school parking lot quite frequently! I have become the musician thanks to Mr. Bruford. I sure hope Bill Bruford understands how much we appreciate his music, his drumming independence skills, his musicality! Peace from Detroit MI.
Wudup from Ann Arbor MI, a huge fusion, prog, and jazz/rock fan. Originally a hip hop fan. Since COVID I have collected tons of vinyls and fallen in love with bill bruford. Much love!
I love this song so much. Annette is a gem and deserves so much respect. The whole band is pushing boundaries. Thanks for creating music which has true depth and value.
This entire concert, though brief (around 40 minutes) is pure gold. Completely amazing musicianship, cohesion, solos, grooves and songwriting. I watched the dvd a few times years ago and will have to get hold of a copy of it - real magic! Oh yes, Annette is great too - even better and more chilling in the next song "Back to the Beginning"!
Ce sont des alchimistes et c est pour toujours mon groupe préféré ... Et t pourtant j en connais tellement et j ai vu beaucoup de concert ...tiens Jeff Beck aussi 🤣...Annette je l avais vu en concert en France et j avais 800 km pour la voir mais j avais été un peu decu. ..mais à cette époque elle avait un tel charisme et cette voix incroyable ...sur youtube on peut entendre certains extraits du concert qu elle avait donné au Bataclan et c était vraiment dément ...mais là avec ce groupe c est vraiment un des sommets de la musique moderne ...pour moi le groupe de brufford on été des innovateurs en faisant cette musique contemporaine et qui ne vieillis pas et c est la que l on se rend compte que c est devenu une musique éternelle
@@jhonnydrucker4519 Annette is also a lovely person who I have known since 1985. I saw several of her gigs in the UK but never with Bruford. I did see Bruford with Holdsworth once and in 1980 with John Clarke. They were an amazing band for sure. Holdsworth , Bruford and Annette remain 3 of my favourite musicians, truly inspirational.
Here we are in this precisely now. What a wonder is this life! Absolutely! 43 years since I first heard these fantastic musicians and I’m still filled with awe.
This beautiful song has been with me since 1984 when I was luck enough to have a roommate in school that had a couple of Bruford records. I spent that summer listening to this record and reading Doug Hofstadter's GEB, trying to somehow integrate Discrete Event Simulation and whatever we called back then "AI", and also met my wife. Best summer ever. Everything clicked.
I was crew on a flight leaving Montego Bay Jamaica around 20 years ago. All the passengers were boarded and the aircraft door was closed. The gate agent pounded on the door. When I opened it, she was standing there with Bryan Adams. She said that she had informed Mr Adams that his first class seat had been released and was now full. He was very gracious and said “It’s okay, I’m small, I don’t mind sitting in coach.” Every eye was on him as he walked back to his coach seat. After take off, a young teenager asked me if it would be okay to ask for an autograph. I told her that I would ask and he invited her over for a chat. I remember that she had a cassette of one of his albums which he signed. She was overjoyed. Really thrilled. Mr Adams was so down to earth and humble. My guess is that young lady no longer has a cassette player, but still has the signed cassette.
Les plus grands musiciens pour le plus grand groupe ça fait 40 ans que je l écoute et je ne m'en lasse pas ...une pure alchimie ...dans le vrai sens du terme et Annette cette extraordinaire chanteuse très peux connu qui est magique .....a ce niveau je ne sais même plus si c est de la musique on est plutôt sur des territoires inconnus ...une autre dimension du sens et du non sens
The most profound lyric. I memorized it by heart many years ago and repeat it to myself very often. The beginning is a statement of existential truths. The advice enumerated in the second half will keep sane.
I'm the same. I really like her contributions to the Bruford catalog. And it took some real confidence to get up there and perform with them live and it's also no small feat to always come in at the right times!
The funny thing about musical mistakes is that so long as you proceed as if the mistake were not a mistake but a deliberate choice, the listener can never tell you made a mistake at all. I did notice the train wreck you mention, but Annette Peacock strutted right over it as if it wasn't there. I've never heard her perform before and I was most impressed. This is a very healing piece of music, with great playing from everyone involved. Whether the drummer should have "rattled around" less is a matter of personal taste, but it's undeniably great rattling.
Lots of people in the comments for this and the "Back To The Beginning" video rag on Annette Peacock - I think what she does is perfect for this material personally, but it's also worth noting that she knew exactly when to come in and with this material that's not trivial!
First live gig????? My goodness. I'm a pro drummer and the level of musicianship here is quite frankly on another level. You make the world a better place. May Allan RIP. Gone way too soon.
This is a gem ! Thank you for showing us these wonders of your musical career, Dr. Brufford! I hope you spent a birthday as you deserve! 🍾Without a doubt, you are the best in the history of music.
Brilliant - this is SO lovely. Poetry set to … not jazz exactly, not rock either, not ANY box, it’s direct expression, real music, played by terrific, daring, utterly unique musicians and poet/songstress/artist…she’s even doing a little ‘performance art’ touch with her moves, glances, demeanor, calm presence-I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time, Mr. Bruford, NEVER heard this before, love it-thank you! [not sure why it’s credited as ‘Needn’t End in Tears’ but maybe that’s “artificial intelligence’ working it’s stupidity?]
It's a great accomplishment to have pulled this off in front of a bunch of immature, impatient sweaty college kids on a Saturday night. This a testament to the unique musical art that Bill was making at the time.
Rattle on! Am so glad I bid adios - if only for seven and a half minutes - to the past of the wonderful studio version. (It took a minute to do so.) A.P.'s words would be pure pretension from just about anyone else. Love it and loved it live. Thanks again for sharing.
Great stuff. This Rock Goes to College is a real gem. I was fortunate enough to see the Gradually Going Tornado line up in Liverpool Uni (supported by Brand X). Great gig. Great band.
Interesting cut. Always have been a Holdsworth fan. Bruford as well, especially with Yes. Never heard the lady. Sounds unique. Very late 70’s/ early 80’s.
By the way "Goodbye to the Past" translates into Spanish as "Adios al Pasado" in every Spanish speaking country on earth. Probably a little late to change the title but true.
Grandissima e peculiare voce. Grande Bruford, il batterista migliore del '900. Qualcuno mi dice come fa Bruford a produrre quel suono secco del rullante? Colpisce anche il bordo oltre la pelle? Grazie
Acredito que o som que ele obtinha na caixa (tarol) da bateria relacionava-se à marca e modelo do equipamento. Bruford preferia, nas primeiras décadas, baterias Tama (Tama Drums), imagino que ele era um endorse da marca. Além disso, devia usar uma afinação mais alta (mais apertada) na caixa para obter o som seco e característico.
i do not understand berlins tone. I had same tone from having to small and underpowered an amp which then distorted at band levels. I mean as an occasional effect, sure. but as his bruford live default?
IMO Jaco Pastorius did not "eclipse Jeff Berlin's fast rising star" - Jeff played with the very best and was given an instructional bass column in the coveted Guitar Player Magazine and Bass Player Magazine. plus, he kept his head on straight.
God, Bill, you're bad as me, what with all the apologizing for things nobody would notice had you not brought it up. LOL. But that's okay, better than okay. I'm very relieved to find that I'm not the only one that obsesses about details. You have a lot more company for that on your level. Here in the mud with the hoi polloi it's much less common. Jeff Berlin's influence was not inconsequential. I, for one, stole a few of his licks to play on guitar. He was amazing, no doubt. And Allan was my favorite guitarist. And you were mine and my bass player's favorite drummer. The conversations we used to have about your snare drum. . . . A keyboard player in a rival band was a huge fan of the band and Dave. He could play all your stuff.
Bono Estente, Channel 9 wants to state a little correction: pzez ze ze ze pze, it its not "Adios A La Pasada" but "ADIOS AL PASADO". Butros butros Galli.

Amen! When I was in college, and discovered this record, I couldn't believe this song existed. It gave me hope.
Music has the power to heal
Amen
What a wonderful anecdote but I'm sorry to hear you were in such a bad place. Always know that the moment, even the worst moment, passes.

Very dramatic. Love the interplay between Holdsworth's soaring guitar work and AP's vocals at the close of the song. A real treat.
One of many notable aspects of this spectacle is how effortless everyone seem to be while performing such an above median human skills job...
As fresh and exciting as it was forty two years ago!!! RIP Allan
Love that Annette Peacock.
Outstanding performance by the quintessential supergroup.. Annette Peacock really nails it.

I’m not entirely sure whether this story about Bryan Adams has anything to do with this video of Bill Bruford, but I liked it nonetheless. Thank you.
A musical masterpiece. All the members of this band are geniuses.
What a great music! Beautiful poem!
This album is burned into my mind from 40 years ago. It's amazing to see it performed. What a great band and such great songs.

Perfect, holdsworth, bruford. Lyrics spot on, love you all deeply
Fantastic. Reminds me of Lifetime.
What a great song - I haven't heard this before.
Never ever seen this before. I’m so moved. One of my favorite drummers playing with one of my favorite singers. Thanks for putting this up
Allan oh Allan... miss you!
Amazing song and performance. When I first heard Peacock’s I was not a fan. However, years of listening to these songs and I think she fits the song.
I'm the same. I really like her contributions to the Bruford catalog. And it took some real confidence to get up there and perform with them live and it's also no small feat to always come in at the right times!
Annette is soo good

Awaking and listen unique rock goes to college... Greeting from Brazil! Lendengs! Happy Birthday Bruford
Oh, I've missed the live première. Thanks, Mr. Bruford. Tears of joy and reflection at the end...
High School I got this album . Opened my ears and eyes to so much
Love this song...remind me when I was in highschool in mid 80's
Unbelievable!
That pause just bfore the end!
WHAT?

This is a gem ! Thank you for showing us these wonders of your musical career, Dr. Brufford! I hope you spent a birthday as you deserve! 🍾Without a doubt, you are the best in the history of music.
beautiful, thanks for the amazing material Bill 🙏 hope you had a great birthday 🙂 greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Best. Song. Ever.
This performance makes me tear up! Lovely tune
happy belated birthday!!! love this song, and this performance especially. the lyrics are a good reminder for me.
It's a great accomplishment to have pulled this off in front of a bunch of immature, impatient sweaty college kids on a Saturday night. This a testament to the unique musical art that Bill was making at the time.
You mean performing for a Rock n Roll audience? These are pro musicians you twit
Yo Vi éste mismo concierto en Atlanta, Georgia. 1978. En Agora Ballroom. Inolvidable.
Excellent performance
Maravilla de músicos y composición! Gracias porque esta es la música que corre por mis venas!
Jeff Berlin and Allan Holdsworth are on fire! Clearly, this was BB’s best band. (Except, of course, for all the others.)
lol, this and his last yess lineup and 1st crim and double trio ...yep...
@@davidryan7386 Double trio would mean six, you mong.
Great stuff Bill! .... as always.

Very cool! Love the message and delivery.
Great stuff. This Rock Goes to College is a real gem. I was fortunate enough to see the Gradually Going Tornado line up in Liverpool Uni (supported by Brand X). Great gig. Great band.
Sounds great Bill! All the best!
Purchased their first album after reading a review in a uk hifi mag when it first was released, went on to buy others after, but, why wouldn’t You!!!!
still love it!!
This is so great!
Mind blown.
A masterpiece.
“Adiós Al Pasado” is the correct traduction
Is this where Sonic Youth got their ideas.
Kim sounds a lot like this woman here.
Very cool and what a unique style, my first listen.
Amazing vand and performance.
Terrific stuff.
BTW, the correct translation of "Goodbye to the Past" to Spanish is "Adiós al Pasado".
MAGICIANS...on top of musicians.
Alright I was going to complain about the title but it's not necessary. Thank you.
Annette.....
It has a look and feel of '70s Rock. Wait, is it '70s Rock?
I wish you all the best!
At the time, this stuff would have been considered quite outré for rock music.
I'm just amazed to see Holdsworth holding a worthy-yet-conventional guitar!
Interesting cut. Always have been a Holdsworth fan. Bruford as well, especially with Yes. Never heard the lady. Sounds unique. Very late 70’s/ early 80’s.
She did some very outside stuff with pianist Paul Bley, too.
Great video.
Shucks. Part of my youth, treasurable.
By the way "Goodbye to the Past" translates into Spanish as "Adios al Pasado" in every Spanish speaking country on earth. Probably a little late to change the title but true.
Read the description. He mentioned it!
Jaw dropping genius here.

This is more punk than The Pistols could ever dream to be.
Apparently, some people like to just say things, without really thinking what the words mean when placed together.
Beatiful song! But...I wonder why "Adios a la pasada" and no "Adiós al pasado" (the correct translation for "Goodbye to the past")...
Mr Bruford offered an apology for any incorrect Spanish usage-read his video description-direct from the composer.
