I think one of the many things that makes Bill Bruford so great is that he knows exactly what is necessary to complete a song, even if it requires not playing at all.
This is just pure gold, makes me feel in a time i didn’t existed. Is just an unknown delicious trance; I sure you will never hear a piece like this again with modern music 👽
"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless...."
@@fletcherbowman5456 thank you so much. This describes so well a thought I often have - and probably most humans who walked on Earth. It seems like a fabulous book, thanks again.
What an amazing live version! remember as if it were yesterday feeling deeply excited at 15 or 16 years old when I read in the magazine “Stereo Review” (a classic publication of the time specialized more in music devices and their technology but with a decent section of musical criticism) that King Crimson, one of my favorite bands of all time, with a new incarnation of personnel but including Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford, was about to release a new album after a long break. The anticipation and anxiety accompanied me for weeks and I regularly went to the “Hip 70” store (the only place in Mexico City where one could find imported progressive rock records at that time) to see if the album was already available. Nothing prepared me enough for the mastery, particularly in its instrumental virtuosity, innate to the now classic album “Discipline”, a title that Fripp even considered using for the new incarnation until he realized that ñ, integrated by himself and Bruford with Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, it did indeed sound somewhat like King Crimson. From that great work of the 1981 album comes this authentic instrumental diamond entitled “The Sheltering Sky”. One listens to it and immediately accesses its perfect notes and, without realizing it, is particularly immersed in the atmospheric aspect of the piece. At times the listener will perceive himself looking at a deep orange sky in an African sunset observing the movement of the clouds…or something similar (this sensation might be very personal but that is how I perceive it). Bruford's percussion, Levin's bass and Fripp and Belew's guitars in perfect harmony, accompanied by the revolutionary sounds of the "Roland GR-300 guitar synthesizer", an instrument that seems to merge the sounds of an electric guitar with those of a synthesizer, maintain a truly perfect harmonious “discipline”. A piece as minimalist and experimental as it is atmospheric and innovative to the max. An example of unusual creativity that is increasingly less present in contemporary music.
I’d been playing electric bass guitar for a few years, and I think this specific song - this specific performance of it, from a _Live at Frejus_ VHS cassette I’d borrowed, from a rental shop called Video Beats fortuitously across the street from my apartment - is what *drove* me to pick up the electric guitar instead. I couldn’t NOT play the guitar from that point on!! How often is one performance that transformative??
Tony's playing in King Crimson is amazing, but oh my! This performance in particular might just be his best in my opinion. He's what convinced me to want a Stick!
Creatividad musical genial, nos transporta a melodías y sonidos exoticos, la musica no tiene fin en su creatividad. King Crimson genial! "El cielo protector" o Sheltering sky, una de las mejores novelas escritas por Paul Bowles, el cineasta Bernardo Bertolucci se inspira en "Scheltering sky", para filmar "El último tango en Paris" Markon Brando y María Schneider y "Refugio para el amor" con John Malkovich y Bebra Wingers.
Robert Fripp - accountant by day, supremo guitarist by night.
One of the best live cuts ever.
I approve your 13 approvals!
"Who is Bill Bruford?" is the double jeopardy answer to "10 minutes on an African wooden slit drum can equal true percussive greatness." Legendary.
I think one of the many things that makes Bill Bruford so great is that he knows exactly what is necessary to complete a song, even if it requires not playing at all.

He does the drums, he does the percussion, he w00ps, what else can we ask for?

Brilliant, and a videographer that knows where to put the camera, just an amazing performance.
Absolutely
this sound is reminiscent of an exotic and mystical faraway place from which you had no idea but are already a part of.
Every time I play this clip I hear something I hadn't noticed before.
Especially on different speakers, headphones...
I miss Adrian and Robert together, they are magic!!!
Adrian in his sublime moment!
Pure class. No one else can pull this off
Magical, special Bill Bruford, absolutely, King Crimson is King

Mesmerizing.
This looks great !
Interesting percussive sounds coming from Tony Levin's Chapman Stick.
Awesomely awesome!!
A band decades before their time.
Para mi! El mejor instrumental de esa formación! Saludos desde Chile.
Sin lugar a dudas y creo que también de todo King Crimson. También sumo Discipline a la lista, literalmente es un caos ordenado
Way cool!!
Que hermoso instrumental
🎧▶🎶🪐✨
It really sounds just like the album version.
Самая интересная группа.
Loved the fact they always stayed with the instruments and didn’t going electronic.
❤
PQP!!!
I think Adrian was a Miami Vice fan.
This was before Miami Vice.
@@baronoflivonia.3512 really? So that means Don was a King Crimson fan
@@bottman6997 It means Michael Mann was a King Crimson fan.

That song is etherical.
素晴らしい曲です。☆☆☆☆☆ 💕
Magnifico

OTRA ERA EXTRAORDINARIA DEL ARTE!!
drive`me`crazy.but`i`m`rational..ok.
L' ingresso di Tony Levin: percussivo, profondissimo, quasi vocale. Tre in uno.
.....but`i`m`disciplinat.
It was sounding Good till Fripp came in.
and made it sound friptastic
