Saw GL in Liverpool with the captain, so I'm glad to see this excellent review of one of my favourite albums.

Фрипп воистину великий музыкант ❤❤❤

A beautiful hearted man and prog rock group leader!!

Abraços do Rio Grande do Sul!

Que achado!!!!

My life has never been the same after Finding " Chameleon In The Shadow Of The Night!" Obsessed with that album.

I wholeheartedly agree with Tony’s assessment when it comes to their sudden tempo shifts. I’d previously heard fusion bands like the Wayne Krantz trio do such things but SGM does it in a way that’s simultaneously shocking, satisfying and completely organic, to borrow a word from Tony. The other thing that I’ve always loved about them is their production value. Lots of smaller bands rely on “lofi this” and “garage that” (there’s nothing wrong with that) but SGM has always had *prestine* production on their records. You can tell that they all have really good ears.

They DID get back together. Just saw them in Colorado.

So awesome

Hey Tony. Sleepytime back together and on tour. I saw them in Seattle on the 3rd. Great as always. The crowd was so excited to see them again. Hope you catch them on this tour.

Real artists recognize real artists.

Спасибо! Очень интересное видео!

They're back together

They've reunited!

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are back! They raised over $120k to go on tour, make a new album and finish their movie. I was hoping to see them open for King Crimson someday.

This man's assessment of The Shaggs , and music in general , is one of the best I have ever heard !!!

Attention everyone. It’s official. They’re back. Google that shit!! Yay!!! SGM is back!!

I totally agree. That first recording will forever be my favorite version. The text spoken at the very end, “Impossible you say.” is just heartbreaking.

I've always been such a fan of John's music since Silent Way, but his description of the effect on him of Miles music is really something. ... John recording of the music of Bill Evans ia just brilliant and it reflects how deep and that river flows.

GIANT❤

I love John. He sounds a lot French these days!

Terrible sounds mix. Ruins the whole thing. Plus, I must say I’m disappointed by McLaughlin’s simplistic talk.

Great choice, I also love Jeff Beck's version (RIP)🎸🎸

Это - шедевр.

If you're not already familiar and enjoy the sounds of this track, I'd urge you to also look into their previous work as Idiot Flesh and later work as Free Salamander Exhibit. Dan, Carla and nils also contributed to Charming Hostesses album Eat, which is wonderful.

Wow! I've never seen this and am floored. I had the pleasure of chatting with Dan Rathbun after a Free Salamander Exhibit show in Memphis and he mentioned Tony in our discussion. This is so awesome and I'm sure Dan is proud. He's such an amazing bassist and counterpart to all of the antics that he and nils have made over the decades.

That album stands for itself.

He answer it wonderfully.

I think i may have seen him standing in line at a STGM show in LA years ago

This is great! Thank you for sharing it.

Brilliant Band, Wonderful description...

in the last photo its billy cobham. not tony williams. that is an awful mistake.

I’m a huge fan of both jazz and pop music. Although I know where John is coming from in terms of the sophistication of the improvisation both harmonically and rhythmically of jazz in all its forms. Although I also love a simple pop song and even a two chord punk track

It's harder to write a classic enduring pop song than learn jazz cliches. Not that John is too clichéd. He does compose

I always feel smarter when Hammill is in the room.

Hugh was a dear friend for many years, thank you so much for this tribute.

Yes, Peter was the best to come out of that era. And had a wonderfully expressive voice, too.

Does anyone happen to know what song is playing in the background at 00:38

I miss him so much, that's my picture of him at Manny's. Did anybody ever find out what happened to the film they were doing that track was from?

Greatly pinpointed with elegance, as always.

" What is art" ? I never had any so-called art teacher or lecturer even attempt to give a definition .

Classy Dude…

I was taught that music is organized sound. I think that is a pretty succinct definition.

And that was the great Phil Ramone in a shot in that clip!

I Actual saw them on the pier in NYC in 82!

I love this song, it's also in my cd!

Peter ahora te falta una del flaco Spinetta ...

The definition of progress is that SGM has gone light years beyond KC. Levin's sad attempt to cover them is proof. Which is not to dis KC. Nothing like them round about the third album (Lizard) when I saw them live at the Eastown in Detroit, what , like 1971-72? There might not be a SGM if not for KC.

Before Sgt. Pepper "a normal pop band"????? What about Rubber Soul, what about Revolver??? Gee....... get your things sorted.

SGM take cues from Dadaism, Einstürzende Neubauten and things that piss in the face of musical virtuosity. But because most of them are classically trained, you can hear a band that learned the same rules they masterfully destroy, to leave someone like Tony very inspired. Saw em live and it was glorious! Idiot Flesh is great pre SGM band with a few core members to check out. And consider some of it predates Mr. Bungle's first commercial release!
