This video is an edited extract from the latest Stormy Mundy Selection, as featured on dgmlive.com www.dgmlive.co...
Alex Mundy provides a fascinating tour of the insides of another piece of King Crimson repertoire. On this occasion it’s The Sheltering Sky that is stripped back. Shorn of Bruford’s African slit drum and Adrian’s vocal loops, this alternative mix focuses on the strange textures conjured by the Roland guitar synthesiser. In June 1986, Robert spoke to Guitar Player magazine’s Tom Mullen, who had asked Fripp about using what was then a new instrument and the need to develop a specific repertoire and new ways of working with the instrument. “I suppose a good example of how Adrian Belew and I used the Roland GR-300 with King Crimson is "The Sheltering Sky." Although it’s available on the Discipline album, it was infinitely better live. When we were in Japan, Roland met with Adrian and told him that we were using their guitar synthesizers in a way that they had never anticipated. I think they expected, if you like, beginner guitarists or less proficient guitarists to play fairly simple things that sounded relatively amazing. Whereas we took them really as new instruments and tried coming up with something that was quite novel.”

Ahhh... Bill Bruford's playing the Rest Note much like he did on "Trio" back in 74
I 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.
Im glad, because King Crimson is still alive!
Long live the King!
Thats the style I like!
I love the live version from The Noise Live at Frejus video 1982. One of the most rocking songs I've ever heard. I listen to it over and over again. King Crimson is so amazing that you hear something different every time.
Live @ Frefus 1982 is one of the best show in France in 80' for shure!! ;)
Wonderful music and stormy monday here in Detroit ☁🌨🌨🌩🌩🌨🌨☁
One of my most favorite songs EVER.
Trio perfeito

Can't wait to see Beat in October!
Pure Fire 🔥❤🔥
This piece takes a special place in my heart 💫
The music of dreams!
Still today, now this is facinating, amazing, shocking, I can flly throuh universe... just shut my eyes and listen to sheltering sky❤
Excellent track - so moody!
Beautiful piece! Love for this band
Without the percussion, it sounds more like a Robert Fripp Soundscape than King Crimson.
I put this line up almost at level of line up that did USA Live, I did by this versions releases on cassette when released.. Life was simpler back then.
Aguante king crimson amigo !
Love from Argentina bro
Such stupendous guitar tones. No keyboards needed.
Brutally awesome, thank you ❤
Muchas veces oigo este tema tomando la línea de percusión de Bruford como solista. Es impresionante.
ONE OF THE BEST, NO DOUBT, PERFECTION
RIP Erik Fredriksen, he would have loved that you are back together
Thank you for uploading this. Good job! The acoustics are excellent. I was losing all faith with the sound of some people's bitrate and this sound is like honey'd potion poured RIGHT. UNDER. YOUR TONGUE. Bliss
Great track.
It’s a shame i’m 16 years old,i never had the opportunity to see them in a concert. The only time they came to my country (brazil) I didn’t know KC and I was very young, a single chance to see them is all i need
Ceci est le brillant reflet d'une époque, c'est un astéroïde puissant qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde prodigieuse chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme la féérie et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. L'architecture musicale de KC est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière 💥
Seen fripp play some tunes BigChill festival Herefordshire 2005 the best tripping music in the planet
Great thanks💕
Very nice
On middle of class but this reachs to make better my day
I suppose I’d never really considered whether guitar synthesizers were a key to achieving the tones and textures of this piece … it’s one of my favorites, and I’ve mostly chased after its sounds (in my own quite amateurish pieces) ideally by manipulating my unpotted neck and bridge humbuckers with the tone and volume controls on a mahogany guitar (usually an SG, when I could find/afford one) and adding a little spring reverb *if needed* (it usually is not, I’m not a reverb fan) but otherwise just adding a few guitar pedals here and there, an octave pedal, drive, fuzz … and in less-than-ideal circumstances, just using whatever’s available - a Mustang through a home stereo/hi-fi amp!! - but still chasing after those tones. In hindsight, I guess some of my pedals were digital, and an octave pedal certainly counts as synthesis. I dunno, I guess I’d never considered whether “The Sheltering Sky” resulted from heavy synthesizer input, so my mind’s a little blown.
I'm 42 years old and this is the first time I've ever listened to this band!!! What the fuck was i doing for the first 42?!!!! Incredible, unique, eclectic and psychedelic music.
It's just good that you found them. Some go their whole lives without hearing a single note.
My dearest friend was in Palliative care. This walked him through his final days
This is sooooooo good. But I miss the percussion ❤
Interesting sonic display
whoever did the thumbnail had no idea what to do, so they took a screenshot of the video and made that the thumbnail
Dear @Local_PepsiOfficial, that's correct, did you like the song though? Best Stormy.
@@kingcrimson hahaha, great song, don't mind the thumbnail or comments
@@kingcrimson yeah, absolutely great song
Holy shit It's@@kingcrimsonthemselves replying to a comment
That doesn't happen often
@@kingcrimson nah you need a super close-up of Robert doing a contorted face and massive text that says "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS SKY SHELTERED!", and if there's room throw in a photo of Toyah in something skimpy, that'll get ya clicks.
Percussionless version
King Crimson was the Beginning and it will be the End.
In between runs a very long Mix-Tape with a lot of Music from all Sides and all Regions, for years.
But the two Poles, they are KC and RF.
King Crimson is King
why is it so short
Dear @pucciraskolnikov7266, the full version is on the DGMLive site, this is just a taster. Best Stormy

Alasbuenas Otia Creo que este chico Vale....y.. APASALOBIEN TÔS

Remember the KC arena tour..;/
Is that Kerry King?
well...as BB is my fav member of KC and this is my favorite KC tune, I am neutralized lol. I so I will absorb.
well, thia shows how perfect BB's additions are. although live - sigh - he leaves half the notes of his beat out so he can walk around and hold the slit drum with other hand.
Without Bruford, the music is diminished.
Play Cleveland at Music Hall before they tear it down for a parking structure
put ITCOTCK back on Deezer

Some people like Oasis better than these guys?
Better album version
we re making out of italian mafia with this one
