This is an amazing band. Vai has made this his own and Carey is so laid back on the groove. Adrian and Tony haven't lost a thing. We are so totally blessed to be alive right now.
@marc54678 between Zappa and Fripp...they spawn the greatest show on Earth. Danny is just a continuance of a legacy that has been such a huge influence on my 47 years of playing.
It's one of those rarest of things; completely original art that just seems to have come from nowhere. Those three albums represent an entirely self-contained genre.
@@mightymartianca well…it started with Brian Eno and Fripps recording No Pussyfooting…1973……a new language in music….then Eno’s Another Green World where they both added to that language…then The League of Gentlemen….Fripp and his Keyboardist Barry Andrew’s from XTC…they started the weaving of guitar and keyboards that later in Crimson was 2 guitars…in fact..I saw The League of Gentleman at the Cleveland Agora….and the opening act was a band called GaGa…and their guitarist singer was Adrian Belew…this was 1980….Discipline was 1981…so really…it was a pretty long journey….it never comes out of nowhere…there is a lot of hard work put into it over years to give you that impression.
Was sitting second row at this show. Unbelievable. Steve Vai and Danny Carey added so much and my god, Adrian Belew’s voice hasn’t changed a bit in 40 years!
Vai played the Fripp solo note for note and it was as good as the original recording. That stuff after Belew’s solo was incredible! If this is what they do in a few weeks of rehearsal and come out the gate with, what a tour it’s going to be.
The King Crimson rabbit hole is wide, broad and deep, deeply beautiful and deeply disturbing. Enter at your own risk but enter you must. Somewhere buried in their discography your favorite music waits for you
I had never heard of Primus before I saw them open for Rush in the 80's. I told my friend they sounded like a cross of King Crimson and Wall of Voodoo.
I've seen Crimson several times, I love the music and was dying to see this tour, then checked the ticket prices. I'll see ya when you tour heaven boys, this old man isn't wealthy.
I wanna go cause it's probably the final time these dudes will be alive. It's like 110 usd where I'm at on Wednesday for the worst seats. I really wanna go but I spent 100+ bucks today that I shouldn't have lol
"Elephant Talk" and "Indiscipline" are two songs that I thought I'd burned out on, but the energy Vai and Carey bring is awesome..and Belew and Levin clearly are splashing around in the Fountain of Youth having a blast (despite probably some stress in the set at trying to remember all the parts and lyrics). Killer band-I can't imagine how amazing it will be once they've eased into a groove after a few shows.
I was at this show - first one, a little rough around the edges at first, but they found their groove! I appreciated how Vai *both* played some stuff as close to Fripp's style as possible, and some he Vai-ified, even within the same solo. This particular track, the first solo (a Fripper) he played exactly like Fripp. In fact, Vai sounded more like Fripp than Belew sounded like Belew in his solo!! And then a new Vai solo added. Pretty darned cool!
This is freaking awesome! Crimson especially 80s are my hero, and I love tool as well. Vai is also a memorable person for me. When I was in elementary school, my father would play “I would love to”. It was like the door to another world. Now I play the bass (not guitar…), but it is absolutely their influence!!! Big thanks from jp 🇯🇵
Yeah!!! Can't wait for Sept. 26th, Fort Lauderdale! Saw the eighties' KC twice on The Pier on the west side of Manhattan. These clips are great. Thanks for whetting my appetite.
Seeing them in October and Never been more excited to see a show in Decades. Saw this tour in '83 and Vai and Danny seemed to Have NAILED Fripp and Bruford's parts. PS. Awesome Vid and sound.
Saw the original lineup live on The Pier in NYC, 1984. This is great that Adrian and Tony are doing this and this lineup has been put together. I hope everything goes well on the tour.
for once, for *once*, I am glad someone took their iphone to a gig, & also held it the right way up. hope these guys come to the UK soon. KC without fripp is so relaxing!
Cool! Very good audio and video quality here dude! Much appreciated! Seeing them in late November in VanCity. Can't wait! Thanks for this excellent video!
Couldn't force myself to buy one back in the late 90ies when they were everywhere, because of the shape, went for the Jem instead 😂😂😂 and then a few others. Now I dont have a place for another one or the Missus would kick me out
Seeing Steve Vai play King Crimson is so surreal.
It fits so well though!!
Such a versatile musician
And give the tour a few weeks...
Vai is a genius, the perfect part that Crimson needs.
@@PeterSokol-bl5vz ... said nobody at all, ever...
This is awesome. What a band. Plus two of Zappa’s best guitar players!
exactly 👍
Tony and Danny are no slouches either!
I love seeing Danny Carey play something outside of Tool.
Plays Bruford as well as Bruford 🎯
@@icemike874 And that's saying something!
It'd be cool to see more collabs from him!
Like Portnoy's output away from DT, for a few years there!
I don't really care for Tool much, but I really enjoy his drumming...so I agree.
He play in Volto! album Incitare. ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_mEgZCb1gzjicvHTQBp4ep4VcDezasPqxE&si=mDUaQPy3XhTKygw3
I'm 67. I want to be like Tony Levin when I grow up. He is 78! Looking lean and mean behind the Stick!
He defies the laws of aging physics!
This is an amazing band. Vai has made this his own and Carey is so laid back on the groove. Adrian and Tony haven't lost a thing. We are so totally blessed to be alive right now.
Probably the best ever.

Absolutely
Both Zappa alumni.
@marc54678 between Zappa and Fripp...they spawn the greatest show on Earth. Danny is just a continuance of a legacy that has been such a huge influence on my 47 years of playing.
It’s 40 years old…and they are still more modern and fresh than anything out there today.
THIS THIS THIS

There's a lot of fresh music out there if you look for it
@@floydhopkins7901 not anything like this…..and what is fresh today is just crap.

A MOTHERFUCKING TRIUMPH

Belew's singing always makes me laugh of joy. Great all stars team!
Wow I didn't really explore this band and didn't realize what a huge influence they must have had on Primus.
Good point.
they did les claypool is a huge tony levin fan and this intro riff from elephant talk was basically the predecessor to jerry was a racecar driver

I had never heard of Primus before I saw them open for Rush in the 80's. I told my friend they sounded like a cross of King Crimson and Wall of Voodoo.
Even back in the 90s Les said King Crimson and The Police's Zenyatta Mendatta album were big influences.
Vai in a KC band playing Fripp's parts, AND doing it Fantastically, is Pure AWESOME!!!!!!!
This is sooo good, plus, I needed this. Europe please XXX
so that's what steve was talking about in the rick beato interview of how he'd do some of fripp's parts with his own interpretation. :) JFC well done
The best thing to happen in music for years. Thanks for uploading
Incredible. I haven’t been this excited for a show in years. 3 weeks and counting!
seeing this on October 23rd.
Went to the San Jose show and was blown away
I'm going Nov 25 at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver (home of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra). It is a great venue for an incredible show!!
There must be a live album! This is golden!
Danny purchased Bill's old Dragon Drums. Very cool to see them in use again!
Yesssssss 🔥 Vai nailed that!!! Across the board excellence. Can’t wait for the show in October!
Napa tonight baby!😊
This is so good. Steve should have been sitting in a chair, though. That would have been pretty funny.
for sure. didn't he just get shoulder surgery as well it would have been totes apropes
Yeah then need set up music stand with transcribed solos. Back to Zappa days.
And with those little noodlings on the Chapman Stick, kids, Mr. Levin opened a new Crimson chapter.
I've seen Crimson several times, I love the music and was dying to see this tour, then checked the ticket prices. I'll see ya when you tour heaven boys, this old man isn't wealthy.
+1
I wanna go cause it's probably the final time these dudes will be alive. It's like 110 usd where I'm at on Wednesday for the worst seats. I really wanna go but I spent 100+ bucks today that I shouldn't have lol
An all star version of an all star supergroup. 50% Zappa influence as well which is always a plus
Absolutely amazing. We are so fortunate! Steve, holy fuck
"Elephant Talk" and "Indiscipline" are two songs that I thought I'd burned out on, but the energy Vai and Carey bring is awesome..and Belew and Levin clearly are splashing around in the Fountain of Youth having a blast (despite probably some stress in the set at trying to remember all the parts and lyrics). Killer band-I can't imagine how amazing it will be once they've eased into a groove after a few shows.
You called it. The performances are killer now.
I love how I saw Danny in the crowd at a king crimson show in LA, and a few years later, he's playing crimson with this beast of a band!
I was at this show - first one, a little rough around the edges at first, but they found their groove! I appreciated how Vai *both* played some stuff as close to Fripp's style as possible, and some he Vai-ified, even within the same solo.

They should become a permanent band and write new things together. They play so naturally together one would think they always had been.
Have tickets for Toronto - I may not sleep until then! BrianMillerConcerts....may the good Lord take a liking to you for posting this!!!!
Adrian’s signature red pants! I remember them from the early 80’s. (Presumably these are new!)
Thank you Danny Carey and Steve Vai for lending a helping hand.
Two of A Perfect Match.
Just a thought....
Adrian Belew, Steven Vai, and Robert Fripp together in King Crimson.....
OMG, I THINK I'VE GOT A HARD ON!!!
Steve Vai looking like SRV and playing Robert Fripp guitar parts....Love It!
Just miss 2 CELLOS mock him in Crossroads movie scene
What these men do to and get out of their instruments is beyond amazing. ♥️
That groove was pure melt
This is phenomenal, I'm unreasonably hyped for the show! Really happy to see Vai making this his own
This is freaking awesome!
Crimson especially 80s are my hero, and I love tool as well.
Vai is also a memorable person for me. When I was in elementary school, my father would play “I would love to”. It was like the door to another world. Now I play the bass (not guitar…), but it is absolutely their influence!!!
Big thanks from jp 🇯🇵
I'm still mind-boggled Fripp's suggestion was "Beat" instead of "Indiscipline".
I suppose they both have a certain irony, but Indiscipline is definitely a great name for a rock band, as Dave Barry would say
Yeah!!! Can't wait for Sept. 26th, Fort Lauderdale! Saw the eighties' KC twice on The Pier on the west side of Manhattan. These clips are great. Thanks for whetting my appetite.
I'll be at that show. Coming up from Miami. I've been looking forward to this for months.
Thanks for taking the time to upload this! 🤘
Great performance! Danny's killing it. 🔥02:41 Steve having a good time 😂
Made the back of my hair stand up!!!
Seeing them in October and Never been more excited to see a show in Decades. Saw this tour in '83 and Vai and Danny seemed to Have NAILED Fripp and Bruford's parts.
PS. Awesome Vid and sound.
I couldn't afford the live show. So I've been waiting for the videos to start appearing. Thanks!
same here, sold out quick and ticket prices are ridiculous.
Saw the original lineup live on The Pier in NYC, 1984. This is great that Adrian and Tony are doing this and this lineup has been put together. I hope everything goes well on the tour.
I love that danny got that Gig.. this must be a dream come true for him! ❤
The whole venue was bonkers happy by this point. What a special night.
The pro shot versions of these gigs are going to be Godly.
Thanks a lot for this.. I'll be seeing this show in 2 weeks from today and I am so excited!
They are having fun, no doubt about it!
...my favorite Steve Vai since FLEX-ABLE!
Steve Vai looks like he's having a blast!! Absolutely ssssssssmokin'!!!!
for once, for *once*, I am glad someone took their iphone to a gig, & also held it the right way up. hope these guys come to the UK soon. KC without fripp is so relaxing!
Thank you! this is lovely! can hardly wait for our town!!
Great band. Long may the mighty Crim live.
Cool! Very good audio and video quality here dude! Much appreciated! Seeing them in late November in VanCity. Can't wait! Thanks for this excellent video!
King Diamond still kicks ass after all these years! To falsetto like this at his age is extraordinary. Thanks for posting.
Awesome of you to post this, and the audio and camerawork is great. Can’t wait for Boston next month!
I am so excited to see them this Saturday in Milwaukee! Last time was in 2000....now with a twist with Steve Vai and Danny Carey. Ecstatic!!!
May the universe bless you for posting this. Thank you so much
Good god this is so great. Thanks for posting! Holy cow the quality is 👌🏻
Still sounding fantastic, saw you at Frejus many years ago with Roxy Music 🎶 👌
This is good!! Immediately started staring into space
They absolutely nailed it. Wow
So awesome. Thanks for sharing.
VAI, the man, the legend, nobody could pull this off so perfect, hell man he is better than ever
2:46 finally I see the lunaticish head move I always do at that part of the melody - love it!
Looking forward to the show in PA! I won my Tix! 😁
Impressive. 😮
One of my favorite KC track 👏
Can't wait for NYC.........
I can hardly wait!!!! Going to the Hampton Beach, NH show!
What an Insane Tour. They just got better and better.
Wow, that was super. Vai and Carey totally nailed it in their own way.
That brought a smile to my face that nearly split it in half.
I can only hope for some sorta official live video of the show in it's entirety but thanks to all yall who did catch some it and posted it.
Bummed to miss this. Extraordinary.
Impressive!!!!!
Just amazing!
Oh yeah!!!!!
sounds great!
Holy Shite. Thank You.
Grandes, genios.
Tony Levin is almost 80. I just want to be standing upright and still know who I am at that point, if I even get that far. Absolutely incredible.
WOW that is exciting!! thanks so much for posting, it brings me back
Esto es alucinante 🤯
Simply Awesome! 👍👍🤘🤘👌👏
Thank god real music still exists with real players
damnit i couldn't resist. smiled the whole way through. thanks.
Fantastic, I love it. Is it me, or do I hear the place where Primus sourced their virtuoso eccentric sound from?
Glad to see Belew still using a Parker guitar. They are great axes 🤘🏾
Couldn't force myself to buy one back in the late 90ies when they were everywhere, because of the shape, went for the Jem instead 😂😂😂 and then a few others. Now I dont have a place for another one or the Missus would kick me out
What an absolute pleasure to see this!
Belew hasn’t lost a step
Steve became a sidekick again... Amazing!
Covered Indiscipline in the early 80's in a trio. No one had any idea what we were doing but it invariably won the audiences over!
Oh mfkng... sounds fkn awesome!
Unbelievable!
This is a gift from the rock gods
Hermoso!!!!
holy fuck, i need to go see them
It's good to see the King
I hadn’t realize how much King Crimson music needed Vai.
