UK: Rendezvous

In memory of John Wetton, this is his best known song with UK. Piano played by Eddie Jobson

[@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

[@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

[@randifishenfeld]

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.

[@oolongoolong789]

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

[@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 😍

[@Yuri-Anatolyevich]

Для меня это тоже гениальнейшая песня современности!

[@dollhaus1]

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

[@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...

[@timcozby]

Fantastic job on vocals and Eddie’s keys are terrific. Still miss John. What a world class bass player and singer.

[@frisiifreya4132]

But also, these musicians know their history Because after Waterloo England fell into another financial system, the fall of Waterloo was unexpected for the UK I love the lyrics together with the beautiful sad sounding piano

[@CarnorJast1138]

Fantastic voice. I am so bummed out right now. Lost another hero.....this sucks.

[@dennisg6599]

I know...a really sad day. What a voice. :(

[@cynthiafradelizi4288]

God knows ' how much I love John Wetton. The cruise without him killed me. He will never be forgotten. CF.

[@markc6557]

There are no words. The music will remain forever:(

[@patatjejoppie477]

is it you Marc

[@christopherh9897]

I discovered this song about a month ago. Cannot stop playing it. Get misty every time. Such ethereal singing and piano. Music of the spheres no doubt.

[@babamaall2560]

What a beautiful version.

[@jeanlucchapelon]

Magnifique Eddie Jobson :Quelle facilité !! On ne peut oublier La voix de John Wetton … RIP🥲

[@user-ws2fu7du7o]

Genialne!John to śpiewa w niebie!Jest tylko takich ballad tej rangi np.Kites,list in The Lost World,Sympaty Rare Bird i niewiele innych Chwytają za serce!❤

[@DavidBurrows]

First time I heard John Wetton's voice was this song from Night After Night. All I can say is, Thank you, John Wetton. Rest well.

[@oceanwatchesclaudejolly1742]

I miss him what a voice R I P John Wetton beautiful piano from Eddie Jobson

[@bobtway72]

The UK live album - I listened to that - and looked at the cover - about 1 million times in the late 70s as a teen. Wow. Just Wow.

[@tulipan57]

One of my all time favorits. So sad he is gone......

[@mikespink1965]

RIP John Wetton. Too many times people get described as legends, you sir, are one. I've been listening to your skills since 1982. Today is a VERY sad day for me and millions of fans.

[@chrisjenkins1189]

Mike Spink lovely words Mike. He will be missed very much. He was a true legend.

[@icyou4344]

He has been a consistently excellent musician and singer. He's led me through decades with gorgeous music. Legendary man!

[@chrisjenkins1189]

Mike Spink lovely lovely words - John would be smiling up in heaven reading those words. Thank you :)

gracias John wetton por compartir tu extraordinaria voz conmigo, tu música me trae inolvidables recuerdos de mi juventud, de las novias, los amigos que ya varios se fueron, gracias por todo, hoy tengo casi sesenta anos pero al escuchar tu música me sigo sintiendo joven como antaño

[@TheJacoboost]

Yet an other Great Musician in Heaven :-(

[@mariopl2981]

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

[@lazycalm41]

John's voice is as beautiful as ever here and Jobson's stellar keyboard playing too. One of UK's finest works . R.I.P. John. Prog will not be the same without you !

[@AlexanderBerriosmusic]

[@JamieBarrettMusic]

Huge U.K. fan here! I love all three albums, but probably Danger Money the most! This is my favorite song, with "In The Dead Of Night" being a close 2nd! Thank you very much for posting! This is awesome! R.I.P., John Wetton...

[@lorettabibby1940]

Asia ✌️ I Remember Discovering this band, around the late 70s early 80s. What An Amazing 'Discovery' Listening to their Songs, the words and 'Meanings' Very Special. 14102021. 'Humanity'.

[@josephnaja]

I can't read anymore comments, I've seen them all live, this is what we grew up listening to as kids 🌴🌴 Real Music 🎶

[@carlosnavarro9863]

La inconfundible voz de un grande. Gracias John por lo mucho que diste a la musica.

[@valeristrelch3572]

Пречудово! Справжня насолода! Вічне !!!! RIP John!

[@andrewbrown9348]

John wetton is and one of the best musicians and composers ever.

[@RELIC3862]

So friggin awesome.

[@suewitzenhausen5861]

Beautiful song and excellent vocals John Wetton. The keyboard player was amazing as well. Thanks for posting this beautiful song which I never heard before. Loved it.

[@icyou4344]

Sue Witzenhausen Eddie Jobson is a legend. Paired with JW, they are magic.

[@emersonjobsonkeys3145]

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

[@HenkvanMierlo]

EmersonJobsonKeys completely agree, the man is a genius.

[@sherryfentiman3998]

My favorite Band in the 70s

[@jdhrap]

Eddie Jobson simply sick talent!

[@franciscoantonioconte9631]

Este tema me ha acompañado toda mi vida, ahora sé porque la buena música perdura en el tiempo...!!!...gracias a éstos músicos que nunca mueren porque existen en nuestro corazón, alma y conciencia...GRACIASSSSSSS

[@johngoverts4166]

Wow. Wow wow wow. As the fortunate owner of the UK albums (vinyl) this is music that I frequently listen to. This live version, however, gives me even more goose bumps.

[@gileslawrence1168]

Went through Waterloo train station last weekend, and found myself singing this very song.... 😔 RIP John Wetton - the voice of an angel.

[@aneyeforsound]

Such a beautiful song, such a brilliant performance. The voice of John Wetton .... I don't have words

[@3121958bvl]

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

[@katemurphy1915]

Losing these guys is killing me!!!! I am getting upset that every time I look again and someone else has passed away!

[@johnnyverger]

John has left us much to soon, a great musician, R.I.P dear friend!

[@josephkelechian5311]

we always love you.❤❤❤❤

[@kevindonnelly9163]

Greatest song ever.. Live version does it justice!

[@MegaCirse]

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 🕊

[@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

[@Davai007]

Thank you for posting this a brillant song

[@HenkvanMierlo]

Davai007 you're welcome :-)

[@ugapelusa]

@@HenkvanMierlo Thanks Sooo Much, Henk.

[@pedsed]

I always wondered if the songs could be done live. now I know they can. Beautiful!

[@CiaranMeagher]

Rest in Peace, John.

[@dd-hg8uy]

Espero que no este descansando en paz. Sino que se haya buscado una lyra o algun instrumento similar y este endulzando los oidos de los habitantes del cielo.

[@orestohluk154]

still sweet ear candy in 2021...RIP John ....you are so missed , thanks for all the gifts you gave us , peace to you

[@jasondelmaitre2838]

Great parting video. You rocked my world for so many years John. Hope you're in a better place now.

[@orlandoromerocristi4767]

emocionante oir esta gran musica,siempre en el corazon John !!!

[@kaveman1021]

Beautiful rendition.

[@jdmresearch]

Like his voice, but his bass guitar was astonishing. His playing during the KC 72-74 incarnation was out of this world. Anyways, I really like this song, too. RIP.

[@analystzorncasteel3047]

Ok .... Heard this song, for years ... Finally figured out what it's about. Wetton was one clever songwriter.

[@icyou4344]

Zorn Casteel He would tease anyone who asked about the song. It's a ghost story.

[@taunoctua245]

I just discovered Danger Money. Wow! what a great album! Thanks John RIP

[@HenkvanMierlo]

The whole UK period is fantastic. I consider this song the most well known, but others, like 'The only thing she needs' are better imho.

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Albums or songs I should keep my ears open for? New to Mr. Wetton.

[@tomaszkruk5839]

How can I put 'like' more than once - this is so touching.

[@martinlaporte2112]

Such a fantastic and beautiful song. John's singing is magical and Eddie's playing is superb.

[@youngchool]

RIP, John... You left a big big hole in my heart. I am glad I could see you and Eddie during the UK reunion tours (San Francisco). Thank you so much.

[@pobinr]

Keyboard part could be a Bach prelude. Wonderful atmospheric music

[@TheMoonchild1969]

He sings about his beloved London with such emotion...beautiful and daunting song.🌹✌

[@garyjackson5249]

Such beauty that will never die. John Wetton was an idol of mine. I will miss his always perfect vocals. Eddie Jobson is the best keyboardist ever in my humble opinion. Such beautiful playing transports me to wherever he sends me. RIP John Wetton. Eddie Jobson has lost his greatest partner in music.
