Lovely version of a classic song. Innovative and thoughtful. The restraint shown in the version at times curiously emphasises its power. I’m sure the great John Wetton would have loved this playing 👏👏👏
David Cross Band: David Cross violin, keyboards. Jinian Wilde vocal. Paul Clarke guitar. David Jackson saxophone. Mick Paul bass, vocal. Craig Blundell drums.
Un excelete tema, clarisimo que mucho más pesado y mejór con K-C. Pero una buena verción liviana con un excelente Jackson y un Cross que no deja nada que desear.....El resto muy pero muy liviano...........De todos modos es un tamaso que genera muchisimo. Gracias por compartirlo!!!
What would be stunning is if Fripp/ Cross/ Bruford got together for a jam session. No pre-planning, just doing what they did best. The improvisations of all Crim lineups after cross are sorely lacking... atleast for/ to me
It's the first time we can compare Mel Collins and David Jaxon on the same piece of music...unfortunately there is not much space for Jaxon on the song....The violin takes it all or almost...and Unfortunately Starless doesn't have the same power with violin compare to saxophones....The other problem is it is very hard to combine violin and saxophone on such a piece or even on a band...there is always one that suffers or dieappeaear...In a solo format like Peter Hammill tried it adding sax and violin to his guitar it is a very though space. Hammill did a couple of tour (very rare with that base and haven't made any more after, he replaced the sax in the trio by a bass)...So either you give room at the end to the violin or the sax or you forget one of them (which is the case here). Unfortunately for the song the choice of violin weakens it . I wonder if alternating more would be possible..of course we need the disparition of egos(lol)
Yes, other bands can play KC pieces, but they are not the same. The guitar is lost in the mix in places where it was out front in the original. And violin takes the guitar solo, which is ok, since it is David Cross's band.
But, these days, as to KC performing Larks' Tongues in Aspic (parts 1 and 2) and Talking Drum, among others, the violin is lost in favor of guitar and Chapman stick.

Prodigieuse et féérique version qui transfigure avec humour et délicatesse, l'original 🤗J'ai tellement adoré David Jackson, le gladiateur de VDGG🤠
This is definitely one of my favourite renditions of this song, truly incredible
imo....David Jackson with David Cross is like musical manna from heaven,baby!!
Van Der graaf was touring Trio. Amazing stuff.
I cant wait to see him here in Buenos Aires in December
Is that David Jackson? Holy shit!
I would love to see David rejoin king crimson
King Crimson broke up you boob.
That the Creator is a long life with health to these men. Even if they do not believe
Gracias por subir esto!!
Wish Mr. Cross could play "The Night Watch" with Mr. Jackson!
This is amazing , please come to the states
David Cross's album 'Exiles' is the best King Crimson album since Red
Cross also did a great improvisations album w Peter Banks..... fripp's ol' roommate

Mojo Breezer Thanks. Best song ever in my opinion 😆

La voz no cuadra, el vocalista no esta a la altura del tema, parece cantante de pop y no de rock, los demás integrantes sensacionales.
@@corpconocerpero Viejo! Comparado con wetton.... rides mucho. Después vas a decir que si bill bruford
You guys know that they're not playing Exiles but another excellent KC tune, Starless!

Wow David Jackson of vdgg
Try their new box set. Lots of trio concerts... fantastic, like 10 discs

I mean the original live version of Starless was a violin/keyboard solo and an intro on violin from Cross.
Per caso,l'ex sassofonista dei Van der Graf Generator?
Si, corretto 🤓
Y FRIPP tocó con Van der Graaf Generator.....Es na lastima que no haya tocado Jackson con King Crimson.
Not Mel Collins; Mel is too straight LOL
Jaxon.
Very Floydy
