King Crimson - Waiting Man (The Noise - Live At Fréjus 1982)

Full Playlist here: shorturl.at/dhtU3
The reformed King Crimson of 1981 emerged as a completely distinct entity from its late '60s/early '70s incarnation. Notably, Adrian Belew (vocals/guitar) and Tony Levin (bass) joined the ranks alongside previous members Bill Bruford (drums) and the leader/founder Robert Fripp (guitar). While the band retained its musical unpredictability, their fresh sound and approach deviated significantly from their original progressive direction. With two albums released under this new lineup (1981's Discipline and Beat), King Crimson embarked on a tour that led to the creation of their first home video, 'The Noise: Live at Fréjus.' Initially recorded in August of '82 at the Arena in France, this video remained largely unseen until its reissue by DGM in 1997. However, it serves as an exceptional visual testament to the '80s-era King Crimson. Now available both as a full concert and as individual clips exclusively on the official King Crimson KZbin channel.
Guitar / vocals: Adrian Belew

Bro this is far better even than the original recording

[@igorrodrigues97.]

the long intro got it, the sound of stick is so damn good

[@kreftmaker]

Pretty much all of their 80s songs sound a lot better live

[@3deltaanglemusic]

@@kreftmaker kc prioritizes live so thats why all their live songs are always better. its like you enhance what the studio version could've offered

[@eleonoradini2371]

I love the Fripp Belew Levin Bruford formation, and I am not the only one...

Vi esa formación en octubre de 1981 en The Venue, Londres. Los mejores!!!!

[@BassByTheBay]

For me, the image of Levin playing the stick will forever be one of the coolest images in popular music history.

[@mattmacneil3424]

Belew is sooo damn multitalented. That man was just born to make music.

[@luizminhotodemello1074]

Good morning, it's amazing how good music never leaves us, they are professionals who love what they do, and we are the people waiting.!!!!!! Obrigado.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷!!!!!!!

[@stoneysdead689]

This is the iteration of Crimson that I love- they remade themselves over and over but imo- this was the pinnacle. I believe this is the seed that later grew into Tool- they had to have been inspired by these guys. The off timing, the syncopation, the polyrhythms- I keep expecting to hear Maynard singing. If you take away the distortion and tune them up to standard- think about it, they sound a lot alike.

[@acelesku7071]

No they dont. KC uses jazz standards, also classical. Tool is more progmetal band with odd time signatures. Primus have more in common with KC

[@stoneysdead689]

​@@acelesku7071 Maynard has come out since I wrote this and talked specifically about how KC were a huge influence so- thanks for playing but, you lose smart ass. Primus? that's hilarious.

[@valeranightblood7169]

Les Claypool has covered KC before. So yeah. @@stoneysdead689

[@j.r.1030]

Agreed. Far and away their best era.

[@rulostulos4891]

There is an interview of Danny Carey where in a moment he explain how in his young age he get drastically influenced by KC when he first-time hear Discipline. Also i think you can see a lot more of similarities in between the last works from KC and Tool for example "Electric" and "Chocolate Chip Trip"

[@BoolFalse]

high-class musicians

[@arthurbristol1611]

When something this spectacular happens, you have to stand and smile, drink it in, and be grateful. At least, that's what I do 😉

[@j.r.1030]

This is the only live take i think that crushes the studio version. Which says a lot, considering how good the studio version is...

[@kylebentley7512]

Yeah the studio version just feels like a condensed version of the song.

[@SplendidCoffee0]

This version has so much soul to it. It feels like they’re about to ascend off of the stage.

[@rogerp6903]

My favourite music.

[@machinetaker]

I know I’ll get killed for this but …I’ve been a KC fan from day one and I say without hesitation: I couldn’t wait for Belew to leave the otherwise brilliant lineup. No gripe about his guitar work but his voice goes thru me.

[@gingerdoll]

Then they'll have to kill both of us. Greg Lake was my favorite voice with KC, and I really loved John Wetton too. I've got a lot of respect for Adrian Belew, and I think he's mind-bogglingly talented, but I do find that I will avoid a lot of King Crimson stuff just because of his voice a lot of the time. This performance though, voice aside, I really enjoy it. It's something magical.

Adrian Belew sounds like Todd Rundgren at times.

[@zeplova87]

Agreed. And sometimes David Byrne, no?

[@almashaaad2084]

Why tho? Didn't notice that before...

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

​@@almashaaad2084listen to Belew sing City of Tiny Lights with Zappa from the 77 Palladium show. Not sure who he sounds like there but its phenomenal. Cheers

[@gingerdoll]

David Byrne for me...although I wonder if it's Byrne that sounds like him at times.

[@urex1717]

I was always a huge fan of Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd and all the obvious rock bands. One of my buddies tried to turn my on to King Crimson way back in the day and I just didn't get it. Here I am still trying to get it and sorry, but I don't. God bless you folk who embrace what I consider to be repetitive nonsense because I really do think that folk should be encouraged to like what they like but I will be damned if I can ever wrap my brain around KC.

[@AnArchyRulzz]

So basically you enjoy the more commercial bands in the progressive rock genre, that's okay. KC definitely are a prog band that tries to push the boundaries of progressive and not everyone is going to like its experimental nature

[@laut0]

calling KC repetitive is complete nonsense lol, you could've used any other adjective, but repetitive? cmon man

[@IRTradFan]

KC is definitely a musicians' band. If you can hear what Bruford and Levin are doing underneath Fripp and Belew, it's just amazing what everyone is doing.

[@urex1717]

Yeah, and some of the stuff that jazz quartets are doing is unbelievable. The problem for some of us mere mortals is that it doesn't register. God bless you that you get it and god bless country music fans and elevator music fans and et al.@@IRTradFan

[@late_octoberish]

They were just full of surprises from one ext. impressive improvisations and to that prog build up through out the song with all of those "simple cores & notes", searching sometimes as if still fine tunning before the show, practicing, ect.(thats the repeating, maybe, I guess urex1717 hears, I do of course but worth the time). Yeah, for me ; if I could just commented, put it simple.
