UK: Rendezvous

[@kerryrobinson9947]

This band was a supergroup. It deserved alot more attention than it got. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@joethompson2910]

One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever... when I was going to college I would wake and play this song over and over again to start my day back in the early 80’s RIP John

[@lavidacontinua]

intro en 7/8

[@rodgerlink6878]

I was fortunate to see UK in the late 70's They opened for Jethro Tull. John's voice was perfect

[@blackbeardsghost6588]

When I was a kid in high school, I would listen to the local college radio station every morning before leaving for school. One morning this song came on. I SCRAMBLED to turn on my tape deck and record it! I got most of it. I would play this song for DOZENS of musicians (I play keyboards) and people who were basically "music encyclopedias". Nobody had the slightest idea who it was, nor had anyone ever heard the song!!! For DECADES I searched for this song. Then one day I told my wife about a snippet of the lyrics. She HATES all music except old fashioned country music. However, she searched the internet and casually told me later in the week, "That song you've been searching for is called 'Rendevous 6:02' by a band called 'UK'". I didn't believe her, but upon looking it up . . . This is one of those songs that sticks with us for our entire lives. I sit in the dark and play it over and over. Thank you, John Wetton and UK - RIP!

[@maddannafizz]

Moving story 😊 in the UK we worshipped them in my group of friends and went to every gig we could. They illuminated my teen and later years . I am classically trained. Of course I loved them, the pinnacle of progressive rock bands, virtuoso 's 😍

My heart is broken. Such a loss of a beautiful soul and brilliant musician. I learned so much from him. That's how he lives on through us. Listen and learn.

[@richardbird8889]

This piece is just stunning and let's not leave out Eddie Jobson's superb accompaniment. So many of these wonderful musicians are leaving us - but they leave a superb legacy of real music which, sadly, our younger folk will miss unless we educate them! I know that sound pompous, but we are lucky to have had these guys from our time and still luckier that we have the means to preserve their work. God bless them.

[@richardbird8889]

So true. This piece plus Yes 'Turn of the Century'. Sublime

[@dollhaus1]

Tears can only explain my feelings when John sings this. It's beautiful.

[@oolongoolong789]

What a lovely performance of this song. Eddie Jobson's touch is marvellous and John Wetton in fine voice. RIP.

[@wildkingdom2012]

Can't believe I did a 2 week tour of Germany and Vienna opening for Saga (right around this time of year, 26 years ago. We opened the show (my band was called Britton) and Saga closed. In the middle was Mr Wetton and his acoustic guitar. I would stand off the stage at the side and watch him very time he came on. I used to have breakfast with him every morning. He was such a nice guy and a BRILLIANT musician. Godspeed, John Wetton. Time flies...

How about some props for Jobson? He is not just the piano player, he wrote the music for this song.

It's five o'clock Driving down Park Lane As London leaves The weekend again Through the dark citystreets And the clinging rain I take my car towards the Thames And Waterloo Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Is that a face I saw? No, just a trick of light It's getting clearer now We're moving out of sight It's cold and late And I can't miss that train I turn around, walk through the arch Of Waterloo Rendez-vous, 6: 02 Rendez-vous, 6: 02 I see that same wooded face It backens me from the gate Did you not know, my friend Two years ago, watch the end After the war Waterloo was no more But your ticket states There is one train It's leaving now There is a place Remember my face And Waterloo

[@tgirard123]

I was lucky enough to see them live way back when they opened for Jethro Tull at the Oakland Coliseum. It was without Holdsworth but Holy Shit. Alaska into Time to kill sounded just like the Live album but loud and powerful. Watching Terry Bozzio leap at those China Pang Cymbals was breath taking. I wanted to play every UK tune I could learn (I play keys). Steve Smith, the drummer for journey was there that night as well and commented that it was one of the best shows he had ever seen. His other one was seeing Bonzo with Zeppelin. UK was an amazing band to see back then

John Wetton. Uno de mis referentes musicales a lo largo de mi vida desde la época de King Crimson. Esta canción es inmortal. Me trae el recuerdo de cuando era joven y compré el segundo disco de UK, "Danger Money". También les recomiendo que escuchen el primer disco de UK, y el que se grabó Bill Bruford, "One of a Kind". Imprescindibles en la historia del jazz/rock progresivo por ser para mí unas obras únicas en la historia de este estilo musical. John Wetton: Descanse en paz

[@luizlucci2260]

Heard them first time not so long ago thanks to Spotify's suggestions. Got caught by that piece, it have a melancholic and disturbing tone, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Sortir une bonne chanson est à la fois une mort et une naissance. Les sons contenus dans celle-ci atteignent la fin de leur vie. Pourtant elle existe dans un état d'énergie potentielle permanente, tout comme la mémoire d'une âme décédée aura toujours le pouvoir de nous émouvoir 🕊

[@artrock5741]

One of Jobson's most excellent compositions, along with Carrying No Cross and In The Dead of Night. A most musical performance by two legends.

[@knightvalin]

I think that the version here, stripped down to just piano and voice is better than the album version, and not because I didn't like that one. There's a melancholy here that Wetton and Jobson bring to this that life and experience can only do. Wetton was 62 when this was recorded, and he brings those years to the melody and his phrasing and how he plays with the melody line. The slight rasp in his voice at some parts drives home the story he's telling about a character who is either dreaming of his fate, or is already dead and in denial about that. Eddie Jobson's playing is , of course, great. Listen to what his left hand is doing in the verses. Most keys players would simply block chord the bass parts. Not Eddie. He works bozzio's samba feel into the way he plays that part, and it fills holes. I really wish this version of UK, with Marco Minneman and Alex Machchek would have recorded some original material. They were more than guns for hire filling spots. They really ' got' the material, and they brought a ton of youthful enthusiasm which Wetton and Jobson played off of. We'll never know now.

[@FusionHowie]

Love this song, love UK , Love John Wetton. All our heros are passing ! We need to share this great type of music with people to keep Fusion music alive. Please Alan Holdsworth please stay healthy .....
