Holy crap! That drummer is an animal behind that kit! Heckuva talent - and had to be to keep up with Misters Jobson & Wetton. Kudos to the incredible guitarist as well. R.I.P. John, you are and always will be sorely missed.
I honestly thought I was alone but I discovered this band in 1979 or 80.When this came on the air it became my favorite prog songs.I got to see Jobson with Tull and then this line up in 2011.
@@kennsmith I will never forget the day I heard this album for the first time on the radio, back in Poland, (behind the Iron Curtain, during Communism dicatatorship years)... Later I managed to obtain this album (vinyl) on the black market, and bunch of other "gems". Life was never the same again... Best years. Best music ever, best albums - UK, Danger Money, Kansas- Monolith, Jethro Tull "A", Alan Parsons Project -all their concept albums, Gino Vannelli - A Pauper In Paradise, Brother To Brother, Chick Corea - Leprechaun, The Mad Hatter, My Spanish Heart, Romantic Warrior etc. Genesis all albums, Bill Bruford Earthworks, Zinc- The Green Album, Mahavishnu Orchestra albums, Pat Metheny Group, Weather Report, Yes - Going For the One... Best music. No corporate crap, no heartless and soulless junk, that flooded the market in the last 2 decades... Feel pity for the young generation, if they don't happen to have a proper guidance around in their lifes.
@@KrystofDreamJourney Was lucky to have seen some of these artists and luckier still to be in this time when Progressive Rock and Fusion Jazz were at their peak. What many call Prog Rock is mostly noodling without content. Here from The Blacklight Orchestra. Great band.
Heard the debut album when it was still new in the record stores (1978). I thought there would be entire waves of music this sophisticated and beautiful to follow, that a band this good was just getting started with no end beyond the horizon, and sky's the limit for new artists driven by such inspiration. Little did I know how wrong I could be. Still feel blessed to have lived in a world that once knew greatness, before it was abandoned for this landfill stench that passes for culture today.
@shawnmerrell8871 Couldn't agree more. I was there too in 1978. Fluff Freeman played it on the Saturday rock show. Sadly those days have gone and will never return. Great memories though.
My first Rock Concert was UK, with the Wetton, Jobson, Bozzio alignment. For me it is still something so sad not many people understand the greatness of that band. I would have love to see the original cluster of star, with Bruford and Holdsworth.
I saw the first band in Poughkeepsie NY...The Last Chance My whole body was crackling w excitement having been HUGE fan of 70's King Crimson Never forget it Holdsworth solo on Dead of Night still one of my favorite,, Wetton had so much soul brought the MOOD !!!!
@@josephdunn4910 I hear that. I grew up on KC... saw them four different times during Discipline days.. Below, Fripp, Levin, Burford. That line-up was the shit.
I think Marco encapsulates both Bruford and Bozzio perfectly (let's not forget that Terry was also a UK member)... amazing performance from all 4! wow!
11+ Wow. Never thought I would see this performed again by Wetton & Jobson. Wetton's voice just great, showing no signs of aging and bass rock solid as always. And Jobson playing his own masterful keyboard and violin compositions to perfection (all without a real CS80 hehheh)... Alex and Marco nailed all elements effortlessly. Giant treat. Insanely awesome!
What a group that UK was! They had a lot great tunes and songs! It's to bad that we still don't have bands like this still around! Now we have music that doesn't even sound like music anymore! What a shame! 😑😕
Not only we have lost John Wetton but last week Allan Holdsworth passed away in Los Angeles.Each year since Chris Squire died, keeps knocking down the true Prog Giants of glories past. It is sad because we are not getting any younger, RIP Allan. Eddie Jobson + Marc Bonilla are playing next week in Quebec City a tribute mini-tour called Fallen Angels, I won't miss it!
I like this very much, it's killer progrock in my view. Maybe it is me not having heard enough different progrock drummers in my life time to compare it with, but this fellow Minnemann does his job very well in my opinion. It rocks big time! And I am particularly fond of the very rich and luscious sound of Eddie Jobson's very modest keyboard setup.
The UK studio album this music is from was a huge favorite of mine and my friends & band mates in high school. This performance is EXCELLENT… I can't imagine it would have sounded any better with Bill Bruford & Alan Holdsworth… these guys Alex & Marco did a fine job indeed. As for Eddie's modest keyboard setup… don't be fooled. He's using (2) 77-key Infinite Response keyboard controllers (w/ Poly-Aftertouch) connected to (2) Apple MacBook Pros running "MainStage" each loaded with multiple software (AU) instruments. I have to say, whom ever did the sampling & programming to accurately reproduce the sounds of the Yamaha CS-80 analog synth (Eddie's dominate instrument during the UK years… weighs ~225lbs. and fetches $8,500 - $20,000 used these days) did an AMAZING job!
Thank you for giving an insight to Jobson's keyboard setup. At first I did not make up from the video that his instruments are actually midi-controllers, connected to Macbooks heavily loaded with software and plugins. Now that I know it's totally making sense. Jobson is so good!!
That 1st U.K. Album is a Masterpiece, true Greatness. I was 16 in 78' didn't know of U.K. until I heard Danger Money in 79' Rendezvous 6:02 & Carrying No Cross are my favorites from that Album. Finally heard the Eponymous Album in 83' & was entirely blown away, so different, so good, so very good, this was a Supergroup. By this time I was already into Asia big time, so I'd already heard U.K. Danger Money, & had to seek out more U.K. music in their catalog, I also own Night after Night the Live album of course. That 1st Asia album is another album I still love too!!! I think a lot my love for these 3 albums is John, his beautiful barritone voice, his falsetto, mellow & smooth, his tone is irreplaceable. I know what it is about his voice, I figured it out years ago, it was always the emotion in his voice, there was always a certain sadness, melancholy, maybe it's inheritant, but it's there. Listen to Soul Survivor, Without You, Wildest Dreams, Only Time Will Tell, Rendevous 6:02, Mental Medication, Nevermore, Carrying No Cross, Voice of America, Starless, & any other music he's done, it's in his voice. I'm a vocalist myself, so am drawn to the Great Ones, when John passed, it really really hurt. That day brought me to tears, there are so many unique singers, but into my 60's, were losing them. My favorites are Robert Plant, John Wetton, Greg Lake, Phil Collins, Lou Gramm, John Anderson, Derek St. Holmes, Sammy Hagar, Todd Rundgren, Myles Goodwyn, Geddy Lee, Richard Page, Brad Delp, Olivia Newton John, Rob Halford, Travis Bracht, Maynard James Keenan, Peter Gabriel, Don Henley, Steve Perry, "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Steve Walsh, Roger Waters, Eric Martin, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, Phil Moog, Ian Anderson, Fish, David Lee Roth in the Van Halen years a Monster, all those Van Halen albums, are so boozy & raw & kickass, Elton John in his early years, oh man was he good, Freddie Mercury, Dennis De Young, Tommy Shaw, Scott Weiland, Layne Stayley, Chris Cornell, Bon Scott, Mike Patton, George Michael, Kevin Gilbert, Brian Van Der Ark, Ed Rolland, Bono, David Bowie, Paul Young, Burton Cummings, Dan McCafferty, Eddie Vedder, Seal, Richard Patrick, Duncan Shiek, Trevor Rabin, Mike Reno, Rik Emmett, Serj Tankien, David Draiman, Pat Benatar, Chrissie Hynde, Christine Mc Vie, Chester Bennington, Paula Cole, Dan Folgerberg, Ann Wilson, Kenny Loggins, Stevie Nicks, John Denver, Claus Meine, Jeff Lynne, Robin Zander, Sebastian Bach, Tom Kiefer, K.D. Lang, Jewel, Alanis Morrisette, Sting, Phil Lynott, Christopher Hall, John Bush, Sarah McClaughlan, Joe Elliott, Geoff Tate, Paul Rogers, Brent Smith, Stevie Wonder, Daryl Hall, Michael Sadler, Billy Squier, Al Green, Lisa Loeb, Carole King, Lionel Ritchie, Jon Foreman, Jack Blades, Ian Gillian, David Coverdale, James Andrew Michael, Jack Russell, Ian Anderson, Michael Hutchance, Mick Hucknell, Billy Thorpe, Jim Croce, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, David Gates, Stephen Stills, J. Lynn Johnston, Bonnie Raitt, Jon Zamora, Greg Graffin Corey Taylor, Devin Townsend, Benjamin Orr, Johannes Eckerstrom, Roger Daltrey, Tim Mc Illrath, Caleb Shomo, Brent Bourgeois, Gary Cherone, his stuff with Extreme was awesome, Ben Huggins of The Galactic Cowboys very overlooked vocalist, that 1st album is stellar. Adrian Patrick, M. Shadows, Aaron Lewis, Rod Stewart. These have just, meant a lot to me recently, & through 50+ years now, for varying reasons, I think they're all great. They all stand out vocally, they subtle, beautiful, melodic, dynamic, powerful, emotional, aggressive, heartfelt, in a word memorable. In closing John Wetton is unforgettable, he is truly, truly just one the greatest that ever lived, I'm glad I got to experience him & his music, & his immeasurable talent. R.I.P. John ❤❤❤ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Amazing! Alex completely does Holdsworth honor with his playing and Marco notches up Buford's original-yet-excellent performance. Jobson and Wetton are stellar as usual. RIP, John.
RIP Allan, for one thing. For another, it's sorta amusing when you consider that Holdsworth's biggest issue with his U.K. stint was that he _hated_ having to reproduce the same/similar solos night after night.
That first UK album was magic in a bottle. Nothing like it since then. The second album, was good, but the first one - untouchable! I wish I could have seen them live, and even this performance. The young guns supporting them are excellent. I wish Asia could have been more like this...
The first words out of my mouth when this finished was, "wow". What a stellar performance. John's voice is as good as ever. The drummer certainly filled in well for Terry Bozzio.
Terry is not the original drummer on Dead of the Night. That is Bill Bruford. The roto Tom fills are Bill's trademark. Marco , filled Bill's shoes great on this one. Amazing drummer!!
I had the wonderful honor and pleasure of seeing Jobson, Wetton, Bruford, and Holdsworth preform live at the Seattle Paramount Theater during the original UK band tour of 1978 for the album this song was on. Jobson and Wetton sound just as good as they did back then, and Alex Machacek and Marco Minnermann (whose book and cd on Extreme Interdependence Drumming I own a copy of) have both done an amazing job at reproducing what was done on the UK record. As a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger, I have to say it is a glorious feeling to be able to play a composition not-for-note, time and time again, as originally recorded, and find it just as enjoyable as ever. Fantastic job fellows, glad to hear and see you still have it going on...
An immortal composition, impeccably performed by beautiful & accomplished musicians! I loved it when it appeared on vynil more than 30 years ago, and I still love it now.
Absolutely incredible !! R.I.P. John. Such a gift taken way too soon. I first saw UK as the opening act for Jethro Tull at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1979. I was blown away and never listened to music the same way again. They put Tull to shame that night.
Looks like Marco Minniman got to play with some of the people he was meant for. I totally enjoyed these great pieces! Thanks Eddie , John , and Maaaaaarco!!!
Chris Jenkins Yes. We live on a wrong planet, my Friend. THIS should be a mainstream ! Followed and enjoyed by the whole entire humanity. Meanwhile only a fraction of us have necessary chops to digest Greatness, I guess. Perhaps in 30 generations, after we reach some higher evolutionary level. RIP John, RIP Alan and other great ones, that contributed to development of entire prog rock genre...
The resurrection of UK in the year 2011; simply a miracle. I saw and heard them live on the Cruise of the edge 2013. Jobson, Wetton, Machacek and Terry Bozzio. Tremendous.
Now, that's what I call music! When their first album came out, I bought it immediately, and when I heard it it was like Wow! It was sort of a continuity of King Crimson to me, with John Wetton on bass and vocals and Bill Bruford on drums, who both played with Crimson before on 4 albums. And the late Allan Holdsworth on guitars and the genious of Eddie Jobson on keyborads and violin. Graet band. Thanks for uploading this. If you have more of this concert, please feel free to share, you can be sure it will please us all.
Damn, I am so glad I was able to see them and UK. Still great music. This reminds me of UK as a trio with Terry Bozio. Saw UK's first tour at the El Mocombo in Toronto. Me and my buddy were coming back from the mens, down a stairway and a guy put his hand up and said hold up. We were standing on the stairway next to the band, wow! When the band came out and jogged up to the stage, our friends saw us run out with them waving haha what a gas! Band was great, what a show, what a memory🙏
Congrats on Eddie. Amazing masterful musician. Best keyboardist right there with the late Keith Emerson. Also, a brilliant violinist, and the great founding member of UK. Thank you for your great music.
All my UK faves and several classic KC tunes. With J. Wetton no less. I think all 4 musicians do a superb job. Thank god these guys recorded a video of this show.
Spectacular.Saw the original tour with Holdworth and Bruford and this is as equally great ,Marco and Alex holdup their end of the deal. It is truly a prog rocksupergroup! I bet Marco loved every time slice of this performance!
Had the bizarre blessing of pure luck when I was 16 to see them perform this live at the Palladium in NY. Opening for Styx believe it or not. Nothing quite like these guys.
This was 4 years after I saw Wetton on the Asia reunion tour. It was gratifying, as it is here, to see that he recovered from his personal problems and put on solid performances. Very much missed.
WOW!! The absolute "Definition" of Progressive Rock!! If you don't like this...there's no hope for you!! I saw these guys, (well some of them) at Nearfest 2 years ago...AMAZING!! Mr. Wetton sounds better than EVER!!! Got this DVD!! Love It!! I do hope they'll record a new studio CD sometime in the near future!! PLEASE!!!
In 1978, my brother Ricky, some friends and I were fortunate enough to see the original UK lineup play their debut album in it’s entirety at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. It was pure bliss!!! 🎸🥁🎻🎹
It's in the creation of great music where greatness lies ..... mimicking & embellishing has it's place too, which leads to the possibly for us enjoying this incredible musical journey. Can't wait for the remastered BluRay
Just watched yesterday (22/04) in London Eie Jobson & Marc Bonilla playing tribute to John and Keith. Awsome evening - lots of stories about both late giants, lots of great music and all memories came back. R.I.P. John and Keith - you will be always remembered
I'll be always a fan of your music, Eddie and John. I'm waiting for the next studio album after the surprising Radiation. Have a good inspiration. -L.-
Well Done. In 79 we had John visit our Nautilus studio and had learned it for fun, started it and .... he stepped up to sing it. I played all his bass parts on keyboards and grand piano. Great memory. Wonderful voice and great person !
After 9 years by my first comment, after 2 concerts of Marco Minnerman, ii can say that he is my prefered drummer ! Concerning the guitaman, i saw him with Carl Palmer..playing all Tarkus with guitar in a monster way! Last but not least...this suite is immortal and UK has been best hard-prog band ever...RIP John.....
the multi instrumentalist Eddie Jobson and the legendary John Wetton together..doesn’t get any better than that !
Oh my God!!!! How good was the music in the 70's and 80's !!! A masterpiece !!! Prog music forever ....RIP Mr John Wetton 😢
Now we get crap
Wetton is the perfect voice . The musicianship of all is unparalleled. This kid nailed Holdsworth. That's impressive.
As a former pro jazz guitarist, I can't IMAGINE transcribing and nailing Holdsworth like that. It's beyond my comprehension.
I just can’t bring myself to think like that. Different humans, different music. And isn’t that the goal?
Possibly the best prog album ever. Bruford,Jobson,Holdsworth,Wetton nailed that album. It's perfect
Agree. It's my 'if I were stranded on an island' album.
Totalmente de acuerdo
Holdsworth y Wetton QEP
Ambos espectaculares,
Tuve la suerte de conocer al sr. Wetton en Chile toco junto a Martin Orford de IQ,
en Chile,
Un abrazo
And also one of the best recorded albums too.
True
Saw this lineup in concert, killer 🌴🌴
My god, Jobson is the consummate musician...His melodies are brilliant and his musicianship is transcendent!
Holy crap! That drummer is an animal behind that kit! Heckuva talent - and had to be to keep up with Misters Jobson & Wetton. Kudos to the incredible guitarist as well. R.I.P. John, you are and always will be sorely missed.
Drummer is technically VG but less is more
pretty sure the drummer did some work with satriani
Marco Minnemann. Played with Seven Wilson on 2 great albums and now plays with the aristocrats
40+ years later, I still love this....
Yep me too
Their album U.K. is one of the brightest moments in my life...Just love it!
Jonny Palmberg me too....
I honestly thought I was alone but I discovered this band in 1979 or 80.When this came on the air it became my favorite prog songs.I got to see Jobson with Tull and then this line up in 2011.
For me too! I still remember the day that I saw it in the shop's window!
@@kennsmith I will never forget the day I heard this album for the first time on the radio, back in Poland, (behind the Iron Curtain, during Communism dicatatorship years)... Later I managed to obtain this album (vinyl) on the black market, and bunch of other "gems". Life was never the same again... Best years. Best music ever, best albums - UK, Danger Money, Kansas- Monolith, Jethro Tull "A", Alan Parsons Project -all their concept albums, Gino Vannelli - A Pauper In Paradise, Brother To Brother, Chick Corea - Leprechaun, The Mad Hatter, My Spanish Heart, Romantic Warrior etc. Genesis all albums, Bill Bruford Earthworks, Zinc- The Green Album, Mahavishnu Orchestra albums, Pat Metheny Group, Weather Report, Yes - Going For the One...

without content. Here from The Blacklight Orchestra. Great band.
LOVE THE TWO YOUNG GUYS, THEY CERTAINLY PLAY WITH THAT PROG FIRE!
Alex Machacek and Marco Minnemann ... both doin' great ...
Just what progressive rock should be. Inspiring, edgy and deeply moving. Wetton and Jobson are true artists.
Giant bass, giant voice, giant loss.
:(
AMEN!!!
Big Crying‼️‼️‼️
Watch him sing Afterglow with Hackett. Tearjerker :-(,,,,
Aliensporebomb? I think I know that guy.
sounds just like in the studio version. outstanding
Yea it's fire
UK live. 😲Marco Minnemann appears to be everywhere. What a great performance of all!
RIP John Wetton! We can cherish the music you created, but you were absolutely irreplaceable person in prog rock world.
Heard the debut album when it was still new in the record stores (1978).

Old man shouting at clouds. Just enjoy music.

@shawnmerrell8871 Couldn't agree more. I was there too in 1978. Fluff Freeman played it on the Saturday rock show. Sadly those days have gone and will never return. Great memories though.
Only live rock concert I ever saw was U2. After Bruford and Holdsworth left and Bozio took over drums. They still were awesome!
Totalmente de acuerdo!! "UK" pasó como una ráfaga. Y.. en esos años se iniciaba la contracara del prog que es el punk !!!😂🎵👏
My first Rock Concert was UK, with the Wetton, Jobson, Bozzio alignment. For me it is still something so sad not many people understand the greatness of that band. I would have love to see the original cluster of star, with Bruford and Holdsworth.
I agree but fair play to these young guys they did a fantastic job
I saw the original cluster in NYC at the Palladium circa 76-78? I passed out in ecstacy.
I saw the first band in Poughkeepsie NY...The Last Chance My whole body was crackling w excitement having been HUGE fan of 70's King Crimson Never forget it Holdsworth solo on Dead of Night still one of my favorite,, Wetton had so much soul brought the MOOD !!!!
Like I did @ Penns Landing Philadelphia water front.
@@josephdunn4910 I hear that. I grew up on KC... saw them four different times during Discipline days..
Below, Fripp, Levin, Burford. That line-up was the shit.
ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING. WETTON AND THE BOYS SOUND LIKE THE DAYS OF OLD. I COULD LISTEN TO THIS STUFF ALL NIGHT.
Absolute magic. Eddie Jobson's contribution really shines. The time signatures make this piece so special.
Rest In Peace John ! You will never forget with your unique voice and bassplaying !
UK is still of one of my favourite prog bands !
I think Marco encapsulates both Bruford and Bozzio perfectly (let's not forget that Terry was also a UK member)... amazing performance from all 4! wow!
Eddie one of the most underrated misician of all time, great songs ❤
Wow what a treat. They broke the mold when they made that certain group of musicians - crimson, uk, yes, elp.
Mannn, saw them live years ago, opened up for Jean-Luc Ponty! One of the highlights of my early years!
Thanks UK.
11+ Wow. Never thought I would see this performed again by Wetton & Jobson. Wetton's voice just great, showing no signs of aging and bass rock solid as always.

What a shame! 😑😕
Wow Alex Machacek!! This guitarist is quite competent at nailing the Alan Holdsworth solo!!
Yea, that was right on the money!
“Quite competent”?? Bloody hell… Are you a teacher?
Jobson is happy, Holdsworth would approve (he wants guitarists to have their own sound).
I've come back to ZINC so many times over the years... don;t know why I didn't search Eddie Jobson before... BORN AGAIN!
Marco is a definitive cover for Bill B, that foot pedal hammering into the double base is exquisite!
playing it more like Bozio plays it live.
@@morbidmanmusic Yes!
although uk final performance was in 2015 this is the best by far with eddie jobson john wetton and uk bandmates. thanks!
lads! rip. jw. ✝
Wow, just wow. I’ve loved UK since the very beginning. And like fine wine, well, you know the rest
Once in a lifetime music! They played it all in one song!

Giant transient band with 2 magnificent studio Lps and a live. Still got the vinyls. RIP John, Allan.
after all those years i hear this song i still got goosepimples when i play it
Bright memory to you, John Wetton... Thanks for you music!
He actually played Holdsworth's solo !!!!!! Wow.
mrpentium yea, not too bad at all
....a great job he did !!!
RIP Allan, for one thing. For another, it's sorta amusing when you consider that Holdsworth's biggest issue with his U.K. stint was that he _hated_ having to reproduce the same/similar solos night after night.
True. A true artist in the finest sense
I would have preferred Alex to play your own solo
A Masterpiece.
Anthony Capps Yes, it is.

The first words out of my mouth when this finished was, "wow". What a stellar performance. John's voice is as good as ever. The drummer certainly filled in well for Terry Bozzio.
That drummer is not the least... it's Marco Minnemann!
The original drummer of this song was Bill Bruford. Marco is the man btw!
and the original is always the best! because he's the original, Buford was great, I saw the original UK in 78 one of the best live performances..
Apart form the fact that it was Bill Bruford who played with UK when they released this.
Terry is not the original drummer on Dead of the Night. That is Bill Bruford. The roto Tom fills are Bill's trademark. Marco , filled Bill's shoes great on this one. Amazing drummer!!
Das darf heute keiner mehr! …und die beiden ‚Neuen‘ spielen wie Götter persönlich.
These guys were in a league of their own….my absolutely favorite Keyboard player of all time….
I had the wonderful honor and pleasure of seeing Jobson, Wetton, Bruford, and Holdsworth preform live at the Seattle Paramount Theater during the original UK band tour of 1978 for the album this song was on. Jobson and Wetton sound just as good as they did back then, and Alex Machacek and Marco Minnermann (whose book and cd on Extreme Interdependence Drumming I own a copy of) have both done an amazing job at reproducing what was done on the UK record. As a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger, I have to say it is a glorious feeling to be able to play a composition not-for-note, time and time again, as originally recorded, and find it just as enjoyable as ever. Fantastic job fellows, glad to hear and see you still have it going on...
An immortal composition, impeccably performed by beautiful & accomplished musicians! I loved it when it appeared on vynil more than 30 years ago, and I still love it now.
Absolutely incredible !! R.I.P. John. Such a gift taken way too soon. I first saw UK as the opening act for Jethro Tull at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1979. I was blown away and never listened to music the same way again. They put Tull to shame that night.
Any ensemble who pulls off this piece live on stage, as these guys do, deserves the FUCKING Nobel prize in music!!! That's just MHO! :-)
Oh yes
Crazy tempo
The drummer is out of his mind. He could pull off just about anything.
The Velvet Voice of Prog, RIP John the best of our generation and a tremendous bass player!
Holy moly what a performance! Jobson as well was in great shape
Imagine being there being able to witness it live. I'd have died happily after that.
WOW.. too early.. RIP John. Say Hi to Chris Squire, Greg Lake and Keith Emerson for us. JAMM ON
MAKE MY DAY We all miss all of them.
And now also say hi to Alan Holdsworth and many other heroes over there!!!
They have the greatest drummer of all time too. RIP Neil Peart.
I miss every of them
Add Mr Peart and that is an epic, heavenly ensemble.
The blue and green light show is absolutely spot on, fits perrectly with the music !
Looks like Marco Minniman got to play with some of the people he was meant for. I totally enjoyed these great pieces! Thanks Eddie , John , and Maaaaaarco!!!
Simply wonderful and often ignored music.
Glyn Williams so true mate
Chris Jenkins Yes. We live on a wrong planet, my Friend. THIS should be a mainstream ! Followed and enjoyed by the whole entire humanity. Meanwhile only a fraction of us have necessary chops to digest Greatness, I guess. Perhaps in 30 generations, after we reach some higher evolutionary level.
RIP John, RIP Alan and other great ones, that contributed to development of entire prog rock genre...
The resurrection of UK in the year 2011; simply a miracle. I saw and heard them live on the Cruise of the edge 2013. Jobson, Wetton, Machacek and Terry Bozzio. Tremendous.
R.I.P. John Wetton = Awesome Musician. Your Unique Voice and Music will live-on forever. - Michael Caz - NYC -
Now, that's what I call music! When their first album came out, I bought it immediately, and when I heard it it was like Wow! It was sort of a continuity of King Crimson to me, with John Wetton on bass and vocals and Bill Bruford on drums, who both played with Crimson before on 4 albums. And the late Allan Holdsworth on guitars and the genious of Eddie Jobson on keyborads and violin. Graet band. Thanks for uploading this. If you have more of this concert, please feel free to share, you can be sure it will please us all.
I have tears in my eyes listening, OMG, RIP JOHN WETTON...
Fantastic, great to see and hear Jobson and Wetton together again after so long.....
It was great moment, at tokyo gig.I enjoyed this night.R.I.P.
Breathtaking. Never got to see then, one of my favorite bands. Incredible
Amazing and so brilliant,superb
A real master. RIP John Wetton
Damn, I am so glad I was able to see them and UK. Still great music. This reminds me of UK as a trio with Terry Bozio. Saw UK's first tour at the El Mocombo in Toronto. Me and my buddy were coming back from the mens, down a stairway and a guy put his hand up and said hold up.
We were standing on the stairway next to the band, wow! When the band came out and jogged up to the stage, our friends saw us run out with them waving haha what a gas! Band was great, what a show, what a memory🙏
Omg . What a drummer
John you were the best so now RIP Eddie is no different he'll keep the torch burning
EDDIE JOBSON - 2019 inductee in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame !!! Brilliant.
Congrats on Eddie. Amazing masterful musician. Best keyboardist right there with the late Keith Emerson. Also, a brilliant violinist, and the great founding member of UK. Thank you for your great music.
And the composer of 80% of UK's music
RIP John, glad I got to see you live
All my UK faves and several classic KC tunes. With J. Wetton no less. I think all 4 musicians do a superb job. Thank god these guys recorded a video of this show.
Spectacular.Saw the original tour with Holdworth and Bruford and this is as equally great ,Marco and Alex holdup their end of the deal. It is truly a prog rocksupergroup! I bet Marco loved every time slice of this performance!
Had the bizarre blessing of pure luck when I was 16 to see them perform this live at the Palladium in NY. Opening for Styx believe it or not. Nothing quite like these guys.
I was 14 years old when I seen them at the Santa Monica civic adatorieiam
GOD BLESS JOHN W. HIS VOICE WAS ONE OF A KIND.
Best Overture in Rock History.
Alex and Marco are lucky to have played with these greatest musical God's
actually, I almost went to tears but then reminded myself that I'm a man and men don't cry.
This was 4 years after I saw Wetton on the Asia reunion tour. It was gratifying, as it is here, to see that he recovered from his personal problems and put on solid performances. Very much missed.
They’re all genius note by note 🎼🎹🎼
WOW!! The absolute "Definition" of Progressive Rock!! If you don't like this...there's no hope for you!! I saw these guys, (well some of them) at Nearfest 2 years ago...AMAZING!! Mr. Wetton sounds better than EVER!!! Got this DVD!! Love It!! I do hope they'll record a new studio CD sometime in the near future!! PLEASE!!!
Saw them three times live in Boston, god they were good!
In 1978, my brother Ricky, some friends and I were fortunate enough to see the original UK lineup play their debut album in it’s entirety at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. It was pure bliss!!! 🎸🥁🎻🎹
Miss you terribly already John Wetton. RIP!!!!
Enjoy the cosmos, John. Your legacy lives.
My absolute respect and admiration for Mr. John Wetton.
I have no idea how many times i have listend to this.... just amazing.. what a great musician and singer Wetton was.
Saw Uk live in Paris long time ago with Bozzio on drums...what an outstanding concert , huge memories. still love this music.❤️
It's in the creation of great music where greatness lies ..... mimicking & embellishing has it's place too, which leads to the possibly for us enjoying this incredible musical journey. Can't wait for the remastered BluRay
Just watched yesterday (22/04) in London Eie Jobson & Marc Bonilla playing tribute to John and Keith. Awsome evening - lots of stories about both late giants, lots of great music and all memories came back. R.I.P. John and Keith - you will be always remembered
I'll be always a fan of your music, Eddie and John. I'm waiting for the next studio album after the surprising Radiation. Have a good inspiration.
-L.-
Well Done. In 79 we had John visit our Nautilus studio and had learned it for fun, started it and .... he stepped up to sing it. I played all his bass parts on
keyboards and grand piano. Great memory. Wonderful voice and great person !
Haha! Marco Minnemann is great!! Cant understand how JW keeps his focus! This is showtime!!!
RiP John, from Bielsko-Biała, Poland :(
I was a junior in college-belonged to the radio station club-we all went apeshit over this cutting edge prog super song!
After 9 years by my first comment, after 2 concerts of Marco Minnerman, ii can say that he is my prefered drummer ! Concerning the guitaman, i saw him with Carl Palmer..playing all Tarkus with guitar in a monster way! Last but not least...this suite is immortal and UK has been best hard-prog band ever...RIP John.....
Amazing band...I wore this album out a couple times.
frikkin' Marco!!!
Great musicians like JOHN WETTON , GREGG LAKE or KEN HENSLEY should never die ...They cannot be replaced, that is why ...
I love this soooo much!! Great band, great albums.
