Greg Lake had such a distinctive voice. Epic Epitaph!!!
King Crimson! Great surprise to see a reaction of them. Loved listening to them in 1972 when I first came across them. I think they began in 1969. Greg Lake, on bass, went on later to be a founder of Emerson Lake and Palmer. His DNA is all over this song.
Jimi Hendrix saw King Crimson in 1969 in London and said it was the greatest group he had ever heard.
He said this about a lot of groups. I’ve heard at least three different guitarists mentioned as “his favorite”. I think he was rather generous with praise. Also, it was such a fertile period in music and he was right in the middle of it. Substances might have also played a role. Not to take away anything from KC, just wanted to mention that.
@@jwardbass4452 bruh there was lowkey no point in saying this no hate, just cracked me up that you said this
A thousand years from now, music lovers will be talking about this song. Epic masterpiece is understatement
Saw them live in Long Beach, CA in 1972. I was 20 years old then, I am 71 now. Still love this music!
The strings that you heard were produced by a Mellotron. That was a keyboard instrument that produced orchestral sounds.
King Crimson was one of the very few groups to take it on the road as it was notoriously difficult to keep in tune.
Among the greatest LPs ever recorded!
In the winter of 1969 I bought tickets to a concert. King Crimson was the "warm up" band. To this day I can't tell you who was the top billed band I actually bought the tickets to see. That's how blown away I was at seeing KC for the first time!
RIP Greg Lake - his vocals were always superb!
I feel that Greg Lake had the finest voice in Rock Music…and he was a great writer, acoustic guitarist and bassist too.
Had the opportunity to see King Crimson about five years ago now, and it was one of the major live music experiences of my life. I have been to about 500 concerts since 1975, and the Crimson show was a complete audio overload of my senses. I had seen Robert Fripp a couple of other times, with The California Guitar Trio and the King Crimson show was NOTHING like that. Intensity ruled the evening, and did not let up until the end. Amazing.
Be sure to also check out the aboriginal version, linked below. Both are great. The timing is different, subtly.
These are the gods of prog.
Great! You really got the spirit of Epitaph by King Crimson right on the spot. Thank you very much - and keep up your good work.
Please listen to the ORIGINAL from the Court of the Crimson King album-
this one is not worse, maybe better
@@egorovvladimir7304go listen to the original, then realize the mistake you have made
@@Dragon_named I've known it for 30 years
The timing is messed up somehow in this. Vocal is repeatedly getting ahead of the beat
Yes, extraordinary album!
Wow, aside from some fellow stoners listening to this in the 70's, I've never seen anyone react to this song. Way to step out of the box my friend. This, by itself would have got a Sub. From me...... But you already have it. Keep em coming.
Excellent, no one reacts to this amazing song from arguably the first Prog Rock Album. Great tune and lyrics that haunt, that entire album is worth a review, tremendous stuff from Robert Fripp, Greg Lake and co. It does not get much better than this. I had this album in 1969, it helped change music for me and for the better. Unreal year for music, try the title track, you will love it. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Wrong version
Id argue The Moody Blues album 'days of future passed' two years earlier was closer to the first
This song is very powerful.
This is a rabbit hole. This album it came off is epic. As are several of their albums up until the early 80s. Hope you do many more Crimson reviews
Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Karn Evil 9 from Brain Salad Surgery is a musical and lyrical tour de force. It goes for half an hour and is in three parts, I think you'd enjoy it. Greg Lake on vocals, obviously.
While this is a good version,the original from the album Court of the crimson king is fuller and the use of the mellotron more intense and makes the song even sadder.There are also some background guitar parts inthe original that are left out of this version. IMO The album version is a better version .Hope you give it a listen and compare the two.
Great reaction ! I think I was 16 when I got this album. It was a must have. "the fate of all mankind, I fear, is in the hands of fools" now more relevant than ever.
YES !! Thank you so much ! Amazing Song , DEEP ...
Amazing song, loved your reaction to Thanks, This sounded like a demo version or something? Try the original from "In the Court of the Crimson King" album, it's even better.
Thought the same thing
Great reaction. Love your comments on this song. It's one of my favorite songs. Thanks for posting this.
'The fate of all mankind, I see, is in the hands of fools' refers to Nixon and Brezhnev, I think, who had their hands on the nuclear button. So the knowledge that is a deadly weight, is the nuclear physics that made the atomic bomb a possibility. That would be my interpretation at least. Nowadays, you can still make it relevant to the current age, with the knowledge without rules being social media. And there are still a lot of fools in power, or trying to get back in power, all over the world.
Yes. 😰 This song is still relevant. King Crimson scared me when they were new. Especially "Twentyfirst Century Schizoid Man". 😱 I'm 72now and they still scare me! At least I'm not into acid since 1969.... 🤔🤷🙄😆😆😆💋💖🌵👵🐺🖖
PROG!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting version of a classic song. The bandleader Robert Fripp loves putting out different versions of the band's songs. It really sounds to me like different keyboard and percussion work was done here. Still a Great and heartbraking song. This song was released in 1969 during the height of the Vietnam War and the Cold War. The tone suggests the skepticism of the era towards lesders who many felt had mislead the public about the Vietnam War and the danger of Nuclear Annihilation.
Veramente un grande commento il tuo!!! Dalla interpretazione del testo alla critica musicale denoti una grande competenza e sensibilità! 👋👋👋
A 50 yr KC follower here.
Robert Fripp led multiple ensembles….that kicked down doors in so many genres….
And he never played the hedonistic rock star…
The only ones…..
I lost a very great love once. This became my anthem for a time. 45 years later it still shakes me.
WOW! This song is just as pertinent today as the day it was so eloquently written! It's a sad song, but I want the whole planet to pay attention to it.
This version is the original version's ghost. Original version (th-cam.com/video/vXrpFxHfppI/w-d-xo.html).
And the original is better, more ‘heady’ too. Longer fadeout with much more pronounced mellotron.
I like this version, but it lacks the overall power of the court of the crimson king version , which i find much more haunting.
You owe it to yourself to hear this version as it was on the album!
@@36karpatoruski Greg's emphasis and timing on this version seem off kilter and the drums are a shadow of the original version. You are spot on about the mellotron, this version overall seems like it's a rehearsal.
Great reaction to a deep cut.
I love this song, and listen to it when I'm feeling especially nihilistic.
When I hear it in any other mood, it immediately reminds me of our current circumstances, how f@
Excellent synopsis by the way…much more knowledgeable and deeply interpretive than others that purport to “react”. “Great job” (from a 71 year old who experienced this music in his youth).
Prophetic Lyrics
A trick of the tail (Genesis), Selling england by the pound (Genesis) very good albums!
It's been too long since I've listened to this song - thank you.
Watching the accompanying video I felt that King Crimson was echoing the sentiments of WWI poets (such as Wilfred Sassoon). Bleakness made beautiful.
the mellotron gave the violin and orchestration sounds.
Good choice! Best regards from Belgrade 🍻
The sax is HEART WRENCHING...🎉
There were 4 of us in my car , 4 sets of headphones just driving around being 60’s teenagers. We had to pull over, we were all overcome from what was destined to surely be the fate of mankind. Will we never learn . We looked at each other knowing our numbers were due.
Love this lyrically songs that strikes me like a funny or horrible poem 😊
Such an great group and really didn't have a huge following....so underrated......It's story telling, poetry.
First album. You need to check out their entire catalog, in order, album by album.
You will truly be blown away.
Great response. Much better than most.
Great song. My cousin had it played at his funeral last year, but he made the decision back in the 70.
But can somebody tell me what version this is. It's not the one as from the record. It's not the same feeling as on the original. The drums on this one is so boring, just playing like a machine.
Back in the days we had this on a cassette tape and played it as we was watching stars, talking UFO and life in the Universe far out in the forest on a little hill. Much memories for me with this song.
Your insight and analysis is a thing of beauty amazing reaction amazing song.
This first album set the template for prog Rick to come. Except Moonchild.
Stunningly magnificent album in its entirety.
You will love Magma, performing "De Futura" live.
a perfect piece of music and eternal lyrics
dude, your break down nailed the vision I believe Robert Fripp intended, as we were still in the "Cold War" era and Nam justt thrown in for practice...rock on JMBoy !! perhaps a ELP video is in your future...
I don't know if I can say it's my favorite song.Well maybe yeah I don't know . Gosh it's great
Enjoyed your observations
Great reaction! This is an alternate mix. I've never heard this version... still powerful and haunting, but there are production issues that aren't evident on the finished, album version. The whole album is excellent, by the way. But Epitaph is probably the strongest track. Love it.
Good old King Crimson..just as overwrought as I remember...
I don't think Peter Sinfield gets enough credit for those excellent, haunting lyrics.
im a streat fool. yet in my time. good choice in times gallery. make my time in years worth it. jmboy tv.
In the late 60's the cold war had many of my generation expecting nuclear war soon. The instruments of death were ICBM nuclear missiles. In that context this song became a dystopian anthem. The title track from the album is just as good but without the doom and gloom.
Great Reaction
Great reaction and synopsis JMBoy! 👍
Müthiş pat a mükemmel ses Grek lake huzur içinde uyu
KC was the pillar of progressive rock. This was the base. I hear a bit of the Moody Blues and Doors on this album. I've forgotten which Russian impressionist got a nod, but I remember listing to that piece at least once and heard the connection. Ultimately, any band that's influenced by KC must sound a bit like them.
This is an alternative take
WOW
Peter sinfeld is a genius
My take on it is that its anti-war and anti-nuke specifically. One last thing is an epitaph isnt just a phrase that describes you, its the words written on your tombstone. Hes saying that as the warmongers profit off of human suffering, blindly following military advancement and ignoring the human cost, one day we'll just all be dead and nobody will know why
Fripp is boss.
kingo crimson
Prog at it's best
Do. Spanish Stroll by Mink Deville, when you have a chance
Interesting version--- never heard this mix before.
Definitely prefer the original from the album, this one sounds a little bit canned.
.
Memento mori!
I hear Lake's vocal but I think everything else is a cover...?! Interesting...
Give a listen to ''Prozak blues.''
Has Fripp finally come to his senses and no longer blocks KC music?
Changed the drum sound too 🤷🏻🤔
gg
Strange remix... Guitar very low 🤷🏻🤔
Don't know where this version came from, but album version is way better.
Ceci est une version éditée qui ne rend pas justice à l’originale.

Check You RUN DNC & Aerosmith "Walk This Way" It's a Fun Video
- Have a couple of beers 🍺🍺 çÖ¿Ôp
oooof. not a big fan of this one. Love ELP. I suppose not my cup of tea.
I think mozarts requiem is a bit more uplifting . 😉
I don’t know what the fuck they did with the instrumental, but you get the idea since they at least kept Greg’s original vocal track. The original instrumental adds so much more beauty than this robotic, sad excuse of a re-recording.
The original release was the best. Don't cheat yourself
Im sorry but what in the Midi backing track F is going on here. This is NOT THE KING CRIMSON RECORDING and is a mere shadow
Yikes, not the original. It's ok. But you need to listen to the original version.
I challenge you to find a more moving song.
You liked this? I strongly suggest you listen and react to "Starless" Thanks
That AI generated image of a “studio” 😂
It’s green screen bud
