Fripp is watching like saying "if you messed up once, you're FIRED"
Fripp in the corner looks like a cyborg that's been turned off during the drum solo, seriously, he doesn't move at all. Solo's over, someone switch him back on.
I suspect Fripp might be a cyborg. Oh, & not to split hairs, but this is Crimson, so I suppose some exactitude is forgivable. This can't technically be called a solo...
Johnny Zendo HE IS A CYBORG.
MerkinMuffly Fidèle a lui même. Il a toujours la même attitude durant un spectacle.
+MerkinMuffly I saw him moving at 1:00, he probably had to calibrate some of his mechanisms.
+Darth Fader Oh please.......
RIP Bill Rieflin. He will be sadly missed. What an exceptional and talented musician.
yes. he is an inspiration for me when when I sit behind my kit and say to myself. how would Bill play this? sad hes gone but we got this!
Three of a Perfect Pair
MawcDrums AAAAAAAA
Lol
What a lovely surprise in my RUclips feed today. It's December 2022. Still a golden moment. RIP Bill R...
Remembering Bill Rieflin RIP
Surely he is drumming in another place....
King Crimson have always had incredible drummers. Michael Giles was amazing, so was Bruford, and of course the genius we know as Gavin Harrison. Crimson has stayed classy all this time - what a great legacy they will leave behind.
Everyone forgets about McCulloch on lizard
@@auri8810 And Ian Wallace.
@@auri8810 The drumming on Lizard is some of the best i've ever heard
I saw KC live in the front row in Philly on 9/7/21. Right in front of Gavin. UNREAL!!!!!!!
@@vickiangelucci6745 I saw the show right after in D.C. and he's cute to boot 😉
Pat Mastelotto is one of the best drummers/percussionists of all time! His playing is so flavorful and his use of percussive effects elevate King Crimson to a whole new level. Keep it up guys!
Yeah. Stratospheric.
I agree.
And his precise and perfectly metronomic sense of groove is certainly insane...
he is the jamie muir of post 70s crimson
I agree he's a good drummer but still far from Bruford
I really think it should be heard live to be fully appreciated.
I totally agree, mate
Wow, so intricate and so beautiful, such fine artistry, drum orchestration.
This is a wonderful percussion composition! Vey subtle and well put together, no one is doing the same thing, each is making their own contribution to the texture. I really like it!
Bill switches from underhand to overhand at around 1:14 that is as flashy as you will ever see Mr. Rieflin.
look at how damn zen fripp is
He actually smiled and looked at us in San Francisco Dec 2014. Phenominal show does not capture the brilliance.
This was my very first introduction to King Crimson. I discovered them during a 2016 concert, which they begun with these Hell Hounds of Krim. What a perfect way to start a live performance, it instantly captivated me ! Amazing drum trio.
also, 3:32 Tony Levin sniffing his water bottle towards the end made me chuckle, I do that all of the time, make sure it's mine and make sure nothing smells funky..
+MawcDrums I saw that.... I guess nothing was funky.
Tony Levin will be the one providing the funk around here, thank you very much
They play so effortlessly...awesome!
You guys do recognise that each single drummer has their own style and thus it's a harmony of sorts.
No. Within the context of KC, Bill Reiflin is as useless as tits on a boar.
@@eldoabrahamson Anyway, this drum number would be completely different with two drummers instead of three. That's for sure.
I fucking love Gavin.
Saw Gavin front row with KC in Philly last night!!!! I was schooled...
@@vickiangelucci6745 Damn. I live right near Philly. If I wasn't working I could've been there too!
I can't stop watching this. Two weeks from tonight. I can not wait!
Doubt any other band could pull something like this off.
I've seen Bowie go with 3 drummers, but that was to just add weight, not more complex stuff like this.
Bowie played with Fripp a while back. Where dyou think he got the idea
Suppose no other band would ever use these "Hellhounds of Krim" as the opening number of a show. KC does.
Frank Zappa, the opening drum/percussion riff to Montana. Find the live recording where let's them do it half-time. But yeah, this is very cool.
Saw the show last night at The Hackney Empire.
Stunning.
just shows why these 3 play with Crimson. It takes a very special technical drummer to play all the polyrhythms and unusual time signatures in their music. They played several times as a 6 piece. 2 drums, (Pat and Bill) 2 guitares and 2 bases.
Loved Loved this tour in san francisco dec 2014. 2 years. Been a fan since the 70s. Seeing them propelled my life in a new direction. It happens when I get my mind blown. Yeah. Worth the time it took to appreciate this esoteric stuff. Fripp actually was smiling!
Fripp actually was smiling!
Errr..... yeah, right, course he was.............not! probably indigestion.
Gets us all as we get older. lol
Philip Hodkinson I thought that at first! Then I noticed he was looking out at us with upturned corners of his mouth. The Warfield is a historic rock venue going back to the 60s, built in '22. Steve Hackett's concert made the place vibrate with strong bass.
Steve Hacket is the man. Brilliant in every way. At 72 I watched all these guys come up. Bumped into Rob Fripp at home in UK a year back. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife Toyah Wilcox. UK 80's singer
Philip Hodkinson You might appreciate this Robert Fripp story. My good friend did computer graphics for the movie "Titanic". He was at the wrap party. As in all my friend's stories, "There was a pretty girl". She came over to talk to him. She was unnerved. She said she had just met a man she pointed out. My friend told her he was a famous rock guitarist, Robert Fripp. She said he had come over to talk to her. Fripp repeated word for word, both sides of a 3 minute conversation he had watched her have from across the room. She said he freaked her out, and she quickkly ended the conversation and found my friend to talk to. Brilliance wasted on the pretty girl and/or Fripp didn't have much game.
As great as Bruford was (is!), anyone who thinks he could do what these three are capable of collectively should think again. Look back to the Thrak era when there were two drummers. I believe RF called it "double band". One of those drummers was Pat Mastelotto, the other...Bill Bruford. The combination on stage was magical. Bruford all wrists and subtlety and Mastelotto all shoulders and mayhem. Outstanding then and it will undoubtedly be even better when I see them in November. Long live King Crimson.
How was it?
Didn't RF call the Thrak era, the 'Double Trio' ?
Kinda missing the point - it's not a competition.
Not to forget Jamie Muir and Phil Collins
I saw this drum solo live last week in Madison, WI. Absolutely amazing...
I checked this out because I liked the song Bloom by Radiohead so then I searched for "3 drummers"
Great stuff! I heard of King Crimson years ago but never checked them out now I will.For some reason now I feel multiple drummers is great and I want more.
King Crimson is like a Fine Wine, they get Better with age!!!!
I saw them in 1982 and last year, Fripp is not about Commercialism, Only Quality & Member Equality...And then Some!!!
Like many of you fans, I've been hearing about the R. Fripp excentricities for years. Honestly, is it that important?? The guy has his specific ways of working and being. So, what of it? If he didn't exist then none of us would have this music. I own about 30 KC and solo artist CDs. MY musicalal interests would have been much less nourished had it not been for what he did. The gosip may be interesting but is it nourishing?
I am grateful for what has been traded-his hard work for my money and appreciation.
i don't know the gossip and I don't want to. He's a genius.
351cleavland - I agree with your outlook, and also with Jörmungandr: Mr. Fripp seems far less eccentric to me than he apparently does to others… I’m even related to people more eccentric-seeming! He may be a little exacting, but again: I’ve worked with many artists, across a few media, and in many capacities over the years, and Mr. Fripp’s particularities seem far less pronounced - from what I hear of them - than the particularities of many less talented and less successful artists! He strikes me as good-natured, reflective, and generous - with a very silly sense of humor! He’s toured with musicians by bus most of his life, he certainly understands how to get along. So thanks to both of you for speaking up!! 🙂
Brilliant! Can't wait to see more updates! The only thing I can think of off hand, as far as archive material goes, would be Discipline Live in Tokyo 1984 which was excised from the Neal and Jack and Me DVD, and not available to see. I'm sure it's a real face-melter, though! Keep up the good work! Prog on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King Crimson is clever music for clever people. KC is always new and always smart full of emotions!
I've seen them in Milan two days ago. I was in heaven. Not even joking, the concert was too good to be true.
Their concert in San Francisco Dec 2014 was nirvana. Pure bliss. One of the great cosmic myteries. Mind blowing. Which is great! I miss them!
Nice. No showing off. Just makin' it WORK. Great to see three drummers who get what drumming is really all about. THE MUSIC!
Oh HELL yes! Can not WAIT to see this live. Already got my tix. And the Bari sax tells me they may play some things we haven't heard in four decades. And I could (make that most likely) be off base, but I've got a sneaking suspicion there might be a surprise guest or two, depending on the locale. That aside, this is going to be absolutely crushing!
Fantastic. Very inspiring!!
More and more I am loving the new KC lineup. I was lukewarm about 2001 - 2003, even tho that's when I finally saw them live. But this combo with the drummers, Jacko, Levin and Mel Collins is really growing on me.
Guys I know Bill Bruford was excellent, but its cheeky to suggest that it takes three people to play what he did, this is just a composition after all. Gavin Harrison is absolutely monstrous on drums.
Awesome! Thanks for posting it.
Please come to USA I will probably never in the rest of my life have a chance to see KC
RIP Bill! Thanks for everything!
we´ll miss you, Bill :-(
...And this is why they are one of the top Prog bands
The best new Old Band ever!
Whaddya mean "one of"
KC created prog..
Superb, syncopation, timing & individual styles. Looking forward to seeing the show in August!
I wonder if this newest configuration of Crimson is likely to result in a new studio album?
esperemos que si, sería fantástico :D
ruben godoy
agreed. one can only hope.
Not supposed to, but even Fripp cannot argue with the Muse. Fingers crossed.
That said, the Crim Beast is a live beast and I'm sure they'll record the gigs.
Long live #KC8 #KC2014
Mark Colman Lo mas probable es que hagan un DVD de sus tour, y ojala graben un nuevo disco! todos estamos esperando lo mejor de KC
Mark Colman
Well, this band recorded Scarcity Of Miracles, without two of the drummers. I'm sure that is a starting point for this incarnation
.
Wow! Fripp moved at 01:55... and started grooving at 03:15.
Pretty cool! I look forward to hearing what the band sounds like. Best wishes to all of you guys!
Thank you
Just came back from the concert in Chicago! Most of the set list are from their 72 - 75 period and debut. I just want to say: if you have chance to see them in this tour, DO NOT MISS IT!!!
Oh, man. I only just found out about Bill Rieflin. Happy trails, fare thee well, and RIP.
Son of B'Boom. VERY tasteful! Three drummers and no extraneous noise. Seattle is going to be very interesting. It'll be cool if they make available for download the 2014 concert series. Yo! DGM! More videos, please. This one is great!
I can't take it anymore., this is toooo good
That's why I call it mind blowing. And I like that!
Hey, I saw that dude in the middle on drums in REM!!! 2008, I feel proud I know this!
That dude was also a charter member of the Industrial band Ministry.
lextual That dude is a cool dude
lextual I had NO idea about that until I read your remark - turns out he worked with them up 'till Filth Pig (at which point they parted ways). AND, among other things, he's recorded with Swans for years...man, that's some pedigree.
Does this setup reflect the eventual performance staging, I wonder? If so, I love the idea of having the drummers in front.
This is why I love Crimson
outstanding!
I'm gaining a new respect for rieflin right now
He did play for Ministry while they were relevant.
Why???
Would like to hear ALAN WHITE in the RELAYER days play with these guys today. What a treat. C . P as well.
De otra Galaxia!!!👏👏👏🎼🎸🎹🥁
If you didn't have a goosbump experience upon hearing this beautiful drummers journey you're not worthy of human experience
I can't wait until Rochester !!!! SO STOKED !!!
Awesome!!!
Great stuff. Gavin the king of progressive drummers.
No.
Yes
@@IshmamAhmed No. Gavin is a musical beast. He's one of the few "busy" drummers I can stand but if there is a "king" it has to be bruford.
King Crimson's been one of my top favorite musical groups since the 60's But, this sounds like half-time at a football game. Go deep Robert.
Merveilleux! c'est de l’énergie pure. Pati
One of a Perfect Three :)
Wiiiiiiiiiiiill happen!
Fantastic!
Thanks King Crimson 💙🎼🌺🎧🎼🎼💙
Great to see these drummers bridging the generation gap..... wished Bill's up there.
And now there's 4 FUCKIN DRUMMERS
Jeremy is a monster. Can't wait for him and Bill to be together!
Mlk Yes! Why not Ten? Sometimes Crimson does some stupid Prog shit like this.
Harrison alone can do everything that Bill did. Bill is great, but this is a super treat.
So I really do believe there is a god as King Crimson is coming to Vancouver island Canada for their first time!Saw them in 1981 and many times since.Very excited to see them again as they really one of a kind.
B' Boom Jr.
R.I.P. Bill
When are they coming back to the Warfield. I saw them in 2014. Fan since the 70s. I miss them!
King Crimson!!!!! So great
For all those of you who dare to make fun of Mr. Fripp, realize he's the boss watching his employees perform a section that they composed themselves and rehearsed a year in advance and he is observing (with his particular "eye") their progress. This video is a filmed rehearsal before they began the tour. Mr. Fripp is a recording machine who sits still and analyzes everything; perfecting, finding glitches, updating - maybe "cyborg-ish", but his musicality and technique do not deserve any criticism whatsoever. He is to be emulated for his approach and work ethic. That is why he is Robert Fripp and you are not. Flame away, I don't care.
If the players are all drummers, does that change a trio to a solo? :)
btw. This is awsomness.
Triolo????
fantastic.
Einfach Genial!!! Kommt Bitte nach Europa! Das wäre super in dieser Besetzung King Crimson noch einmal live zu erleben!
Please Come to Germany!
the second theme (:15) of the groove this is built around is the pattern used in Discipline. this is also much better live btw
Shades of the classic Larks's Tongues line-up with Jamie Muir on percussion. This could be very special indeed.
People here should listen to "Thirds Construction" by the composer John Cage, it has somewhat the same sound! Pretty amazing!
yey, the king is back
1:55 in sounded like a Jim Keltner soup. What an awesome blue colour he had on his set. Does anyone know which brand he's using? Definitely better than Drummers of Burundi, a record I bought in the Stone Age:-).
6 years ago, but he's using a Sonor.
Precision, precision!
killer.
Has Bruford come out of retirement to tour with KC again? I saw no news on his site.
RIP Bill Rieflin
So cool Gavin is there
come to chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin is amazing
+KRYSTIAN SUWAŁA Yeah, he's the accurate one. I wish they all had his groove PLUS placement.
Saw this lineup in SF last night. This rehearsal doesn't capture the dynamics and energy of the live performance, and certainly doesn't represent how the solo evolved over the tour. This is by comparison - flat.
Although there were times when the three did play the same part (and the sonic impact of that is impressive through a concert sound system) most of the time they were playing complimentary parts. In last night's performance Harrison played the main line including fills (and also had a true extended solo in which only he played), Mastelotto acted more as a percussionist than drummer adding accents on cymbals, and electronics. Of the three Rieflin at stage center didn't have much to add other than doubling lines - note though that during much of the concert he was playing the mellotron keyboard parts (when not handled by Fripp).
I'm a huge Bruford fan, but Mastelotto and Harrison had me grinning ear-to-ear more than once last night.
i love this, drum away.
Rest in peace Bill Rieflin
VERY COOL AND SO MUSICAL.
R.I.P. Bill Rieflin, bad day.
Gavin's big bass drum - BOOM!
It’s the Hell Hounds of Krim!
Grewaltig,. Leider daskonzert nicht gesehn!
RIP Bill.
I LIKE IT! )
Pat Mastelotto's drum set sounds HEAVY a.f.
R.I.P. Bill :(
Rip Bill Rieflin
