[@Hot_Ratatouille]

The story about how David Bowie poached Belew for his own band and how Frank reacted is one of my favorite rock incidents.

[@hackupboulders]

Tell the story Anthony.

[@Hot_Ratatouille]

@@hackupboulders Okay. Well Bowie was living and recording in Berlin and just finished his new album that had our friend Fripp playing lead guitar on it. But Fripp wasn't available for the tour. So Bowie's collaborator at the time, Brian Eno, suggested that Bowie check out the new guitarist in Zappa's band who was coming to town. Bowie and Eno went to the show and loved what he heard in Belew. According to Belew, Bowie came back stage while Zappa was soloing on stage and the rest of the band was on break and offered Belew the job. They discussed things further in secret at a Berlin restuarant after the show. While they were dining, Zappa and the band came in and sat right at the next table! So the whole time, Belew said every time Bowie tried to reason with and talk to Zappa, all he did was respond with "Fuck you, Captain Tom". "But Frank..." "Fuck you, Captain Tom." That was the whole conversation. Belew said despite that, he remained good friends with Zappa right until he died in 93.

[@hackupboulders]

@@Hot_Ratatouille Fantastic, never heard it before! I'm a HUGE fan of Zappa's music but cringe at some of his personal philosophies. Great story, where did Belew tell it?

[@mcouzijn]

At 16, I had a weekend job working in a supermarket. With the money I earned I attempted to expand my musical horizon. So occasionally, I would buy albums by bands I didn't know, but had read an appealing 5-star review of. The Dutch magazine 'Muziek Express' published such review of a band called 'King Crimson' who released this shiny red album called 'Discipline'. I went out and bought it (ten bucks) and could not believe my ears. I knew Bill Bruford of his "YES" days, and had always loved his playing. But this was a few steps up. Loved Belew's guitar work, loved Fripp's obnoxiousness, loved Levin's stick sound, what was there to NOT love? One week later I was rewarded, when I took a cassette tape of 'Discipline' to my school, and played it LOUD on Friday afternoon in the school's cantina (yes, it was that kind of school, early 1980's you know) and saw The Most Beautiful Girl of my class get up and dance to 'Elephant Talk' before my very eyes. SO beautifully, the moment almost made me cry.

I remember when I first heard his singing, before I even knew much about him, or that he played with Bowie or Talking Heads, I felt the similarities. Great artist all around, though.

In a nutshell, the musicians of King Crimson are geniuses. Just as Kraftwerk helped invent and shape electronic music, King Crimson opened up a new dimension in rock music: Head-funk, complex, multi-layered, non-conformist and yet rousing and passionate.

[@itkojecockot]

KC is one of the VERY FEW classic 70's prog bands, that not only "survived" the 80's, but even made some game-changing records...... it only shows it can be done...... you just have to resist the temptation of selling out and adapt your artistry to the new era/production...... if you're talented enough, it doesn't matter what music era you participate in

[@pabloco3257]

I agree, yet I think if they did, as you say, it was because they reinvented themselves as time went by. I mean, your comment can be understood as if they kept making the same 70's prog rock music in the 80's, and as they were very talented musicians they succeeded cause of that.

I once saw King Crimson by chance at Dour Festival in Belgium in 2001. I was there to see the Melvins and remember standing in a field, frozen and mesmerized for more than an hour watching King Crimson. Since then I stored KC in my mind as great musicians, but it took me another 20 years to finally really start listening to their music. I think it's a mature sound perhaps and some of the soundscapes can be a barrier for casual listeners. Today, those same endless soundscapes and all these live performances aren't a barrier but a treasure trove that I can listen to again and again and hear something new. I use it as background for my creative writing. Some of their songs, like starless, epitaph, etc are absolute masterpieces. They are so catchy but also raw at the same time, and utterly unique. I used to love listening to Pink Floyd, but after a short while, you know all their songs inside out and the structure feels repetitive. It doesn't stimulate my brain which needs surprise. Epitaph, if I am not mistaken, was released in 1969? That is crazy. It sounds so much better than anything produced by bands like Led Zeppelin (yawn), Pink Floyd, or Black Sabbath. I love the vocals too. I have come to the conviction that KC is the best music band of all time, and they've been doing this for more than half a century. Ask anyone on the street and they will hum stairway to heaven, dark side of the moon, but will likely never have heard of KC, which just makes the whole listening experience more private and special. For someone bored of popular music, I am glad I have rediscovered KC. This could become my soundtrack for the next decade. PS. I am guessing Thom Yorke studied Adrian Belew. His performance here is captivating. I need to start discovering all the KC formations over the years.

I saw them (for the first time) on this tour - in 84 I was only familiar with "In the Court..." as it was my father's album. They opened their show in Detroit with "Red" - good times!

[@markusdaxamouli5196]

Fripp is a tripp, he just gets better with age..and more trippy.

[@steveviper1913]

I was introduced to King Crimson by an old girlfriend with "In The Court" and loved it as I was already a fan of ELP and Greg Lakes vocals. When this line-up came along with "Discipline" I was hooked by this period with Belew and the following "Beat" and "Three of a Perfect Pair" albums. Incredible!

[@johenaost4]

Adrian’s magic way of playing ❤️❤️

[@aldoushuxley8239]

One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@rickszabo4312]

Stuck you tube on random, started wiring in some electrical plugs, wasn't paying attention to the TV and I swear I was listening to a Talking Heads concert, loved it, as an old Canadian, I never really listened to these guys.

[@adriel68]

You’re in for a wiiiild ride.

[@shinzoisnotliving]

Give a try! They are an incredible band

[@pederriki7819]

its so nice to see the four of them smiling and simply having fun jamming with each other

[@paobat]

Fripp seemed really amused and enjoying his playing with this band. I think it was one of the most creative KC incarnations. The present one seems to me a sort of cover band of itself

[@novisun]

The way that Belew, Fripp and Bruford's themes interact and weave around each other from 6:30ish to 9:25 is heaven on earth.

[@fahimfaysal7934]

don't let it be removed, this music only can come out for pure art, for not mass entertainment.

[@shlarry3184]

Wow with Belew and Bruford, I adore

[@jimbinho175]

Saw KC by chance in 2000, blew me away. The last year I think I played this concert daily while I do my creative work. What an amazing lineup and show. I am in awe of Belew. I love everything he does.

[@theresa42213]

Ahhh Bill just blows my mind with his flawless technique! l dont think l've heard another drummer play such cool beats! He's tricky and he's all wrist! The guy probably has _no_ rotator cuff problems! Been my favourite drummer all me life! Apparently he's ''Dr'' Bill Bruford now!? Ha! He'll always just be ''Bruf'' to me! Seen him live three times.

[@kappe53]

I'm absolutly right with u. But dont forgett Gavin Harrison,i think there are both the Number 1.

[@donald2117]

I was fortunate to see all three tours with this lineup. In between Bill did a tour with Patrick Moraz, Music For Piano and Drums was the album they were promoting. It was a small venue in Philly. We were some of the first in the door. I grabbed a bar stool and placed it in front of Bill. The guy was amazing. I remember Patrick's keyboard stopped working in the middle of one song. Bill kept on playing the entire time. He was switching drums sounds from the Simmons control panel, improvising until they got the keyboards to work again.

Yes, quite the revelation! Sexy beast.

[@peterzarrella3299]

my favorite of all the King Crimson members over the years. all of the different versions had so many great players, singers and stars, but this version of "the band" shines the brightest for me.

[@Yanto-Bardic]

Bruford and Levin probably the best rhythm unit since Sly & Robbie.

I have never seen Fripp so animated - unbelievable

[@franzmajcyn3836]

I am so lucky and proud to have seen all the incarnations of Crimson except the first. This version my favorite could strip paint off the walls and the sound was sooo good.

[@motnosniv]

This is my favorite lineup of KC. Elephant Talk, Matte Kudasai, Indiscipline and Thela Hun Ginjeet are just wonderful.

[@NaviafromtheSDR]

17:12 You can see how Mr. Fripp is always training his ability to focus

[@rainerrobles7455]

And what better piece to train than the moto perpetuo from "Fracture"?

[@octofish]

Taped a very abbreviated show I believe from MTV or USA about a year after the tour. I saw the tour at the Chicago stop. Later, I purchased a VHS, which still was abbreviated. Even later, I found this entire thing on a DVD. Good times. Even met Bill and Adrian that year.

[@llibzlov]

I never missed a concert during this lineup. Had to have been some of the most precise and epic quality shows with talent that is beyond belief!

The pinnacle of King Crimson. Thanks for the upload and sharing.

The groove on “Sleepless” at 1:08:00 is one for the ages. Maestro Tony Levin plays it with his “funky fingers” in the BEAT tour, 2024. The man is an absolute legend.

[@sedwizop5701]

Best lineup they ever had saw them 3 times with this lineup

[@reinerhohn9406]

It's ever so amazing how Adrian can sing like that while playing this extraordinary guitar

I saw this tour at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. It may have been the best show I have ever seen.

Sin demeritar a Greg Lake, qué agrupación esta de los Reyes Carmesí: Tony Levin, Bill Bruford, Robert Fripp y Adrian Belew, ¡¡¡ufff!!! Qué concierto, qué temas. Simplemente espectacular.

[@lornestein7248]

Thanks for posting this! - I saw this tour in Toronto - 07/07/84 - Watching this show again means so much to me!

[@katherinehunter9526]

I was there that night too. At the band shell at the CNE. After that show I jumped on a bus and went to Quebec to see them the next night at a ski hill, Camp Fortune. I must say the second night they were more relaxed and some how better, playing longer! The crowd was wild and more intune to them too. Interesting experience! It was phenomenal to get to have that opportunity to see them back to back like that. The best two concerts I've ever seen, and I've been to several! ✌❤🇬🇧🎸🥁🎶👍🙏 🇨🇦🐈

[@mattmacneil3424]
