@@MichielBorstlapOfficial I’m listening to your album Pace with my wife. We’re really enjoying it. Very beautiful! You’ve composed some really chill music. I love classical and jazz. I listen to classical to help me relax.
Bill is such a unique maniac! Been a fan of his since the first YES album! What always goes unsaid is his unique drum tunings and his choice of cymbals. I've always been in awe of his 'ear'!
so very true about Bill's drum tunings! everyone knows about his super-crisp snare drum, but his beautiful, singing, ringing tom tunings really do never get enough praise, going back at least to King Crimson's "Starless and Bible Black" LP.
Bill inspired me so much in my drumming style. He is still my undisputed idol...the best of the rest. He is always challenging himself....no simplicity for him....no wonder he retired..he's done it all!
Many years ago, I saw an ad for a club show in my area: "An Evening of Acoustic Music with Patrick Moraz and Bill Bruford". What a glorious evening of music that was.
Love this DVD! As a drummer and pianist, I grew up following Bill's playing since the Yes album. But, one of my favorite live concerts was seeing the first Earthworks tour in Chicago in July 1987. The songwriting, musicality and instrumentation from this album still inspire me to this day. Then I saw Michiel Borstlap during a Dutch Jazz tour in Japan around 2002, along with Jesse Van Ruller, Eric Vloeimans, Benjamin Herman, and others. Absolutely astounding. When this Borstlap/Bruford duo DVD was released, I didn't hesitate to buy it. Bill, thank you for all your inspiration over the years.
I remember seeing Bill with Patrick Moraz back in the 80’s touring together. They played small clubs and was very intimate. Saw them in Philly and New York.
extremely jealous of you Wren. Back when Moraz and Bruford came out with their Music for Piano and Drums, I was so heavy into finding/collecting this kind of stuff...right after my favorite iteration of KC (with Belew and Bruford), it just made you hunger for this style of extreme musicianship, SO VERY creative. Would have given my left eye to see him and Moraz live...wow and cool.
Just beautiful! The interplay between the two musicians is downright sublime. And I never cease to marvel at the things Dr. Bruford can do with that innovative drum layout. I've always called it the "tabletop kit," since all the drums are set up flat and all at the same height. The soaring music triumphs over the frustrating video production.
Darn, but he makes it looks so easy. Contrast his lowered set to the deceased B. J. Wilson, who was affectionately called “the octopus in a bathtub”. Love them both.
First time I saw Bill live was June 1974 at the Shrine. It was the last gig that version of Crimson played in Los Angeles. I'd loved his playing since I'd first heard The Yes Album in 1971. There are only a handful of drummers that are SO individual, you know them the second you hear them: Buddy Rich, Ginger, Elvin and Bill. BB is truly one of my favorite musicians of all time.
Love B-Bru more and more with every passing year. (50+ years now)... so much to learn, so much to love! Greatest drummer ever of whatever it is he defines as his niche...
Brilliant! Yes , was a different band when Bill left. I prefer his jazz technique over Alan Whites rock technique. It fit their style better at that time . They were a prog band and his influence fitted them better. Just my opinion. Alan White RIP.😊
Since it seems Bill doesn't peruse the comments; I'd call that song Stalemate...A fan since the 70's with YES, the Late 70's with U.K ( saw him free at penn's landing), the 80's with Crimso, the 90's with earth Works.... The song was just a jam between a keyboardist and drummer...Welcome to Jazz 101...
I enjoyed watching the interplay and creativity. I see what you mean about missed opportunities. When the triplicity rhythm kicked in but nothing came of it so time to move on. Nice
That was improvised. Bill was unaware there were to be speech inserts, for example. There is quite a detailed personal description from Bill under the video. Admin
*** The TEXT ME ON TELEGRAM reply appears to be a Scam. Appears everyone got this reply. Do not think it came from Mr. Bruford. If not it is a shame***
one of the few drummers who understood the drumset as a melodic instrument. he, a master, 'mathematize' his playing. genius!
Billlllllllll my friend, my master …thank you, and with love
Your playing is great, you complimented one another.
@@danielcombs3207 thank you!

Something complete different as wat you played in Mahoganny Hall Edam, Michiel, we met Thérèse 2 times😊
I saw Bill Bruford play with YES one day so satisfied I saw him play.
Bill is a genius. It’s that simple.
Love his signature snare sound,,digging the song,,,,I remember being at Bru Moraz show sitting right next to them
The symmetrical set-up makes a lot of sense; any drummer and any style ✌️😎👍
My greatest inspiration is Bill, what a phenomenal drummer. I think he's reached 100% tornado
Bruford is amazing, flawless technique. The next drummer that comes to my mind after him is Dave Weckl.

As a drummer myself, I truly envy the number of amazing keyboardists Bill has had the pleasure to play with over his career!!!

We love you, Bill!
Passt gut in die heutige Zeit.

Doctor Bill was one of the best musicians/drummer in the world. Thank you for these wonderful videos!!👏👏👏👏👏
You speak truth and wisdom, kind Sir!
EDIT: Oh...and thank YOU, Dr. Bill, for these wonderful videos!
Lifelong fan of Bruford... this is new to me, but WOW!!! Outstanding... what a meeting of spirits. Congratulations for bringing the 2 together!
This is just great!
This is one of my favorite performances of all time. Bill is my favorite drummer and the The keyboard player is a mad genius.
I remember seeing Bill with Patrick Moraz back in the 80’s touring together. They played small clubs and was very intimate. Saw them in Philly and New York.

Espectacular. Un grande abrazo desde Ecuador. Increíble trayectoria como músico, artista y estudioso del ritmo.
Simply wonderful!
Both of them plugged directly into the river of creation! What a pleasure to listen to.
Fantastic. Thank you Bill!!!
Great fusion. Thanks.
Holy Shit! You 2 sound so good together!

Maestro Bill !!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
quel plaisir d'entendre ce duo a l'écoute l'un et l'autre dans une improvisation dirigé tantôt par l'un , tantôt par l'autre , merci !
Splendido
Bill Bruford is 'this guitarists" favorite drummer
a truly creative musician
Wow, this is fantastic!!! Thanks Bill.
Awesome
I really love to tap the like button twice, 3, 4 times and more…
*****don't leave this video without watching (at the very least) from the 12:00 mark to the end...it really delivers !!!
Darn, but he makes it looks so easy. Contrast his lowered set to the deceased B. J. Wilson, who was affectionately called “the octopus in a bathtub”. Love them both.
I still own the live DVD of this show that I bought 20 years ago. One of my favorites! Thanks Bill.

Thank you foe this post. I wonder when this performance happened. Bill Bruford is teaching and now retired from performing..??? Love it.
This is so good! Borstlap is a wonderful musician. Bill is a fantastic drummer.
Love B-Bru more and more with every passing year. (50+ years now)... so much to learn, so much to love! Greatest drummer ever of whatever it is he defines as his niche...
Love this.. 👍🥁👍
Join and Bill took us all on a journey with this piece, loved it!
Master of Gods.
🌊🌊🌿🌿One of, if not thee most incredible structures of music I have "ever" heard🌿🌿🌊
It's one of a kind perform
Phenomenal and excellent drummer. I think he should be on king crimson tours
Bravo!!!!
Great stuff!
BRUFORD IS BEST !

Improvisational gold. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Makes me feel alive.
Brilliant! Yes , was a different band when Bill left. I prefer his jazz technique over Alan Whites rock technique. It fit their style better at that time . They were a prog band and his influence fitted them better. Just my opinion. Alan White RIP.😊
Thanks Bill awesome as always. GOD BLESS,,!!!
Reminds me of a Steve Gadd and Chic Corea jam circa 1978.
Great video.
Brilliant performance!
Love this, thank you!
Increíble e inspirador de un músico único y genial como Bill !!!
Fat double love like for this insane performance.
Божественный дуэт, пианист вполне на уровне Билла, а Билл, как всегда, великолепен
Wonderful 🎶 🎶
I think i will have to pull out my bass and join in.
Reminds me of the Patrick Moraz Bruford days...seen the show
This is SSSsooOOoOOoo good!
Thank you.

unsure what you mean...he kind of explains the situation in the "show more" section.
I enjoyed watching the interplay and creativity. I see what you mean about missed opportunities. When the triplicity rhythm kicked in but nothing came of it so time to move on. Nice
Chess, Mr B?
No, this is pure audio pawn.
Did you see what I did there...?🤭
That Borstlap fellow isn't bad either. So many juxtapositions in all facets, textures and colours.
Stratospheric music making.
❤️👍😁
Just thinking Bill probably would have loved to play with Keith Emerson at some point.
Eh ouais.....Bill Bruford !
The Drummer .
the modern EDM crowd should take some notes here.
BILL
Was that purely improvised, or was that fully charted out? Either way, that was nothing short of spectacular!
That was improvised. Bill was unaware there were to be speech inserts, for example. There is quite a detailed personal description from Bill under the video. Admin
@@BillBruford Not seeing it on the description. But it was, clearly, one of those perfect moments that was captured.
@@BillBruford @admin. I think the detailed description is missing? I’ve seen it on your other videos?
@@jimmyddddd No, it's there. Click on the word 'more'... Admin
@@BillBruford @admin. I see it. Thanks!
ES EL BATERIA EL QUE EMPUJA A TODOS. A MI ME GUSTA LA BATERIA PREMIER , SONIDO MAS AGUDO CHAO
Doutor dos tambores!
Being a drummer myself and a fan of prog rock . I don't know why but I didn't understand it
como suena esa mierdaa :D
More fun for the players than the audience? This has been a problem for a long time now. Where's interpretive dancer?
Que grande perda de tempo! Sem nenhum sentido essa batecao de tambor!🤣🤣
Keyboard doesn't match the drums.
Well, at least you tried. Back to the Spotify Top 40 for you...
@@alanthesheep6428 I wouldn't like that.🎹🌝
Wow, I was just thinking this is the best keys and drums playing together I've ever seen. Different perceptions I guess.
