Must have more King Crimson



If you haven’t checked out the YouTube channel the midnight special, you are missing out. Live performances by a wide range of artists, with very high quality video and actual live performances. A fantastic resource.

Bonus points if you're stoned out of your gourd when you listen to this one. It takes you places.

Kevin Barnes’ greatest work

Channeling my inner Dr. Demento.

Sorry I'd rather hear Ann Wilson sing Immigrant Song.

Bruford's drumming with Yes twists my head in knots. The best way for me to play it was to basically disassociate myself from the music and hope everything else was on time. With Yes it was, because Squire on bass was a freaking legend.

This is levels above that. Musicians playing their own songs......at least to my ears. I love Bruford with Yes, but never got into King Crimson because it was all too chaotic for me.

How about this one. Nancy Wilson absolutely kills the high harmonies. Both sisters are/were tremedously talented. It brings a tear to my eye how beautifully they sing together.

Exactly. Those ladies are not easily equated to today

To bring it full-circle, this is me playing Immigrant Song. It's actually pretty easy on drums if you have a decent bass drum foot.

The Psychedelic Furs and Public Image Ltd. In the mid 80’s, middle school to high school, these two bands were usually the tapes in my Walkman when I was going to sleep.

This was epic and is still fantastic. The talent from all of them is superb.

Like the band or not, this a great jam. Played in Calgary, I think.

One of the most uncomfortable songs I have ever listened to. I feel like almost everyone who grows into adulthood knows this exact feeling and it is very hard to describe so well.

In the unlit room with my head in my hands
The walls between us now seem unscalable
I cannot control anything
There are weapons down beside your bed
And every night I count them all

Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it
After everything that we've been through
I don't believe it
Take a look around here
I don't believe it
I look into my own sweet heart
I don't believe it

Oh how they talk about us when we're far away
Behind their frigid eyes they know more than they ever say
They only tell you the truth when they get drunk enough
It's a town of cornered animals, teeth bared
out of control
Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it
After everything that we've been through
I don't believe it
Take a look around here
I don't believe it
I look into my own sweet heart
I don't believe it

And every night I clench my teeth and fail to get to sleep
I cannot bear the stillness drawn across the surface of the world
I have never learned to throw the first punch
Perhaps the more you know the more you get scared
In the end you left on your mission to find a reason for all this pain
And how I wish I'd gone with you over and over and over again
