Jansen Barbieri Karn- Sleepers Awake.

RIP Mick Karn (1958-2011)

[@DanielHeikalo]

I always play Mick to my bass students, and they are floored. Instantly recognizable in a world filled with imitators. I wish he was still with us. Brilliant player AND composer.

[@jonyoung6253]

That's the epitome of jam band . Fabulous.

[@paulkazjack]

They're all so cool and relaxed while thumping out this insane masterpiece.

[@smarty6090]

This sends shivers up my spine. It's like nothing else. You are missed Mick.

[@micaeljohannesson7957]

This is fantastic! Makes my day! Jansen, Barbieri, Karn together is magic! Steven Wilson really ads. I miss Mick Karn! No one played the bass like him.

[@faithhealer3154]

No one...

[@deancurtis4376]

I have been a fan of Japan since early 1980 & their subsequent projects;solo & otherwise,since. Does anyone else have a shudder down their spine at Barbieri's keyboard performance from 6.43 onwards ? What a fantastically talented bunch of musicians,one & all.

[@vinvanveen]

Fantastic musicianship!. Wow, speechless. R.I.P. Mick Karn.

[@brad42948]

JBK... totally stunning.

[@MV-ge4kv]

Four fine musicians. Epic track! Miss you Mick..

[@makikat]

Wonderful. Miss you Mick.

[@gordon7462]

Pro rock shit.

[@batteryacid1]

This video radiates way too much beauty

[@thaiceltic]

I just love steven's long hair!

[@blixaland]

Happy birthday Mick ❤🌹 60 this year

[@SKYSAW59]

Insane amount of pure talent! My all time fav. drummers.. Paul Thompson Steve Jansen Stuart Elliot.

[@andre.slmartins]

As a HUGE PT and SW fan, including the delirium years, from about 2004. I can't believe I'm discovering this today, and it just made my year! Feels like I'm falling through a void of Old School PT and tripping 😊

[@Thewestslope]

Agreed. I discovered this earlier this year, late 2022 and cannot believe how good it is. Would love to see a Steven Wilson remix and new release of this JBK material.

[@faithhealer3154]

Extraordinary exeptional and Unique...there´s nothing like this in our World!!

[@rudo747]

they are all fantastic musicians ,all credit to them each and every one

[@cmonmappleys]

This is spot on

[@wooferfriendly]

MICK KARN - SO UNIQUE -

[@trcysttt]

Such a sublime trio. Verily, their influence on modern music may be as incalculable as it is invaluable. (How can one not love and admire these guys?) Thanks for sharing! Missing Mick, indeed. peace

[@tomcld]

what an amazing act steven need to grow this hair again :P R.I.P Mick Karn

[@furnishgale]

another great performance. eternal karn. big jansen; not only brother of.......

[@megasoid]

Just damn.

[@Amsterdamagesoup]

Epic Karn

[@FatRakoon]

Got first properly intruduced to J&B on a Future Music CD with this very song. Many moons later, Porcupine Tree. These are what is missing in todays music... Its called "talent" kids. Look it up.

[@dereckvon]

This is a real treat! Thanks for sharing.

[@RinaTTinside]

Duran Duran lost their #1 position to Japan... I love them then and solo. Mick is my fave. He's so pretty and talented and unique

[@cmonmappleys]

Superb

Mukunda this was from Abstract Day, 1997.

[@RinaTTinside]

@alexcubata of course Duran Duran did not officially lose anything to Japan. Can they even be compared? Fact is (in an interview with John) Japan was inspiration for Duran Duran. It is by my opinion that Japan is more awesome than DD, thought they remain cool as they were! Huzzah, Mick is so pretty! for those of you who are interested: join us: Team Mick Karn on Facebook.

[@alexcubata]

An amazing performance from those great musicians...Such a rich music :)

[@Manli1208]

Thanks for posting this. I always wonder how people get all this wonderful stuff to post on youtube. After Japan split I did not really follow the individual band members, and what they were doing. Now I know I've missed much. R.I.P. Mick

[@MisAnnThorpe]

You certain did! I hope you've managed to catch up in the 5 years since you posted your comment?!

[@andyfin990]

I saw Japan 5 times in the 80s loved them, lost interest when they split, just found this now in 2020, Amazing ..

[@ayalacontraluz]

excellent composition

[@Jimmy-1867]

got my first tablet 54 now Japan Mick rip great band

[@HWKUK]

Amazing

[@FerranK68]

[@redarmr]

EPIC KARN. Thanks for posting.

[@DrHeckill]

ありがとうございました

[@vinvanveen]

@citic101 It's on the 1995 Jansen/Barbieri album, "Stone to Flesh".

[@user-ie7ct8wh4h]

MICK ありがとう

[@Maxiclaudi]

Modesto, thanx a million, this is one of your best posts! Muchas gracias hombre!

[@rwsteppenwolf]

Steven Wilson, from Porcupine Tree. He has many bands, you should listen to Storm Corrosion too.

[@citic101]

thanks this is an album i should buy this sounds great

[@vinvanveen]

@mirzamarco I'm guessing that he's triggering a pattern on the drum machine, yes. That's part of his sound, combining real drums with drum loops.

[@5719mattymatt]

Brilliant, thank you for putting this on youtube x

[@zekkampung2235]

This is a great song, there are still the sounds of Japan in it but after the split, this will do.

[@gjhgjhgjhgvhgvhgvhgv4877]

Song?...it’s really just a jam with some repeated structures.

[@gjhgjhgjhgvhgvhgvhgv4877]

Japan had structure ...

[@shaddersshadwell4941]

Gjhgjhgjhg Vhgvhgvhgv People like it. No need to be technical. You’re impressing nobody

[@suitandtieguy]

this is incredible. thank you for posting.

[@lamiaponlo092]

Thanx Pafemo... Regards!!!

[@saint1674]

epic!

[@citic101]

this album is 16GBP on amazon !!!!

[@cyrilpipan8747]

Steven Wilson. He has a band with Barbieri called Porcupine Tree and has worked with many legends over the years including Robert Fripp and Alex Lifeson. Definitely check him out, he's releasing a new solo album the 25th of February. /watch?v=n8sLcvWG1M4

[@marekbarilla848]

In all respect to Japan (and Mick, R.I.P.) whose I´m a big fan I wouldn´t agree with such a little hot-headed comment..consider DD doesn´t mean only well-known big hits or similar crap (devastating big-labels-influence is here evident)..such a kind of view would be very unfair and limited..Taken without prejudice DD does mean lots of hidden gems - sophisticated songs, great b-sides, interesting live-versions, Arcadia project, Medazzaland etc. This is what DD musically really means!

[@undeux355]

ん、コレはかっこいいぞ！！

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

undeux355 ので、あなたは！

[@Pleianov0000]

I always hum this as "Sylvian mood"

[@alexcubata]

@RinaTTinside Really? When was that? Sounds incredibly amazing

[@lamiaponlo092]

Is Steven Wilson?????

[@alexcubata]

@wraithy65 How old is your lucky son? Good to know this music

[@roberttheil8447]

Does anybody know where/when this was recorded?

[@taga555ful]

+Robert Theil you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLKhWVna7iSo5I

[@citic101]

[@adityaaytida1988]

Is this performace available on DVD by any chance?

[@faithhealer3154]

Jansen / Barbieri ‎- Lumen

[@KeithRowley]

Awesome jam! Who is the guitarist?

[@blixaland]

Keith Rowley Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree and no-man

[@JG-kl5tt]

@@blixaland Rowley 😭😭

[@colinwilson3269]

Sounds like Gong!

[@paulboizot]

And the guitarist's hair is long enough for Gong too! :-) I don't think the bass sounds like Gong though.

[@cmonmappleys]

Bit of hillage in there

[@pietervandoorn4778]

Karn evil one 1st impression!

[@suzannebell4561]

Explain please.

[@gjhgjhgjhgvhgvhgvhgv4877]

He des look a bit demonic here...

[@evanjazzista]

It looks like Steve Jansen is not actually playing the drum part, as witnessed at 1:02 and 1:11. Such a pity. Is that a drumloop or what?
