John always made it look too damn easy on stage. Just imagine doing all the things he did, amd did pretty damn flawlessly. I true one of a kind, and music genius. I miss him so, he's right there with all the greats in his music-productions and writing, singing, playing; you name it.
I was at that gig as a roadie , john was such a gentleman and so funny ,such a wit .Good to see half of ' Jadis ' ie Martin Orford and Steve Christey in the band . Starless was always my favourite bit of the show .Hats off to John Mitchel on guitar ,have rarely seen anyone play with so much feel.
Thank you John for all the great music you left too soon but your music will live forever. Have all your records and the music sure takes me back too easier times......R.I.P. John....🎸
Another icon from my prog rock formative years passes.. From KC to UK to stuff with PG, Roxy/PhilM, etc.. even that Asia stuff.. going to miss this guy
Oh I didn't know John passed. As a teenager in a garage band the three records from the Red era with K.C. were quite mind blowing. Seeing John perform with K.C. on the Starless tour, and on both UK tours and the first Asia tour was truly epic. Whew sad, another of my heros is gone. Thanks for the music and many "mind blown" moments John, r.i.p.
I only heard the sad news earlier tonight, and it saddened me greatly! John, you will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget you. Thank you so much for sharing your God~given talent with us!! May you journey onward in peace, my friend. RIP... \m/
So much talent on this stage and music of this magnitude is probably gone for good.Thank God we have videos of this quality to remember and enjoy.I have no idea who thse guys are backing John but they're killing it.They are just fucking incredible.What a band.
Excelente músico John Wetton, lamentablemente falleció y nos deja un vacío a aquellos que amamos la música de Kin Crimson, banda a la que perteneció en algún momento de su vida artística. Grande Jhon Wetton.
Sorry friend ! Accoustic six strings guitar ! Even if he was a bass guitar this amazing artist-musician could play different instruments ! He will sadly be missed ! R.I.P. Mr John Wetton :(
You're right Barry ! What i mean is that we can clearly see on the first song of this amazing video : Book of saturday , he's playing the acoustic guitar and not the bass guitar ! Cheers ! :)
Me too. I saw some recent photos and am totally shocked and praying for complete recovery. Cancer and then sepsis. He and KC are one of my all time favorites. Already lost Bowie, Emerson and Lake, can't deal with another one.
I know. I will be playing a lot of King Crimson and UK for the next few days. So sad. I feel bad for his new wife too. I'm sure it was expected but still such a shock.
thank gawd I got to see this guy with U.K. during the Jethro Tull tour..un..fucking..believable..instant love..did not know who they were and didn't care..tull had to pull out all the stops to beat them that night..they did..just barely..rip sir..u were an amazing musician and I thank you
John was always a very nice guy in person as well. I met him the first time during UK and he was actually a very laid-back and humble sort who's career came from playing bass lines for his brother, hence his singing with bass - so a comparison has been drawn between him and Greg Lake for many years. Ironic as hell that they both died from the same illness within mere months of each other. 2 of the greats gone so soon - RIP
His voice, his bass notes, his entire music, he was one of those that transported you to a place where one could feel each note with the entire heart... Adios John...
Great show from John, as always. Evidently the other guys never listened to KC; no space, no dynamics, just a train wreck. Like 90's numetal trying to play jazz.....
Te amo mucho mi cielo eternamente estarás en mi corazón te quiero mucho de verdad gracias x toda la música del alma q me diste te amooo más aĺla de mi vida
In my dreams I can see and hear some kings reunite at a Prince's Trust venue. The singing king will then be Mark King, bassman of Level 42 doing Easy Money and Starless.
John always made it look too damn easy on stage. Just imagine doing all the things he did, amd did pretty damn flawlessly. I true one of a kind, and music genius. I miss him so, he's right there with all the greats in his music-productions and writing, singing, playing; you name it.
Bravo John Wetton. Gone too soon. Rest in peace.
I was at that gig as a roadie , john was such a gentleman and so funny ,such a wit .Good to see half of ' Jadis ' ie Martin Orford and Steve Christey in the band . Starless was always my favourite bit of the show .Hats off to John Mitchel on guitar ,have rarely seen anyone play with so much feel.
Rest in Peace John. You were a great artist. All the musicians of your generation are going these days. very very sad
It is too sad. Most of my all time favourite musicians died in winter. We all hope spring will comes soon. RIP John
R.I.P. John wenton. With Chris Squire, Greg Lake and Keith Emerson great jamm wherever they are

John ...thank you for your songs!!! You are irreplaceable ...THe rock and roll today lost one the greatest legends
I am truly sad today at the loss of John.... he made so much of King Crimson!
Another icon from my prog rock formative years passes..
From KC to UK to stuff with PG, Roxy/PhilM, etc.. even that Asia stuff.. going to miss this guy
Didn't know John Mitchel played with Wetton. Fantastic performance.
THE voice of K. C!
Well one of them ! Greg Lake R.I.P
an agressive bass in the 70's and a heavy but at the same time conforting voice, rest in peace john wetton!
This is Rock in the time of the Gods !! But the gods are almost all dead :(
Nie wiedziałem, że John Mitchell występował kiedyś z Johnem Wettonem. Znakomita wiązanka kultowych utworów!

I loved these tunes in 73-74.High a lot and in a Prog-Rock band.
Well, I still love them Don't forget that you wrote "I loved these tunes"
I only heard the sad news earlier tonight, and it saddened me greatly! John, you will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget you. Thank you so much for sharing your God~given talent with us!! May you journey onward in peace, my friend. RIP... \m/

Easy Money bass lines are just the best

Rest in peace, John...Wherever you are....
playing bass with a pick !! ----- good-bye John -- we miss you.
Sorry friend ! Accoustic six strings guitar ! Even if he was a bass guitar this amazing artist-musician could play different instruments ! He will sadly be missed ! R.I.P. Mr John Wetton :(
He was a bass player who played with a pick from Asia on. He was a finger-picking bassist prior to that with King Crimson et al.
You're right Barry ! What i mean is that we can clearly see on the first song of this amazing video : Book of saturday , he's playing the acoustic guitar and not the bass guitar ! Cheers ! :)
Send some positive vibs to mr. Wetton, he is not doing well and I personally hope the best for him as an artist and a person.
Me too. I saw some recent photos and am totally shocked and praying for complete recovery. Cancer and then sepsis. He and KC are one of my all time favorites. Already lost Bowie, Emerson and Lake, can't deal with another one.
Sybaelle I am afraid it happened: what a loss.
I know. I will be playing a lot of King Crimson and UK for the next few days. So sad. I feel bad for his new wife too. I'm sure it was expected but still such a shock.
"Book of Saturday" the most soulful song King Crimson - the BEST for me
your voice and your talent will live in all of those who admire you too much. Thanks for made my life better with your music, John.
Thanks for the music..enjoy your journey .....

Great show from John, as always. Evidently the other guys never listened to KC; no space, no dynamics, just a train wreck. Like 90's numetal trying to play jazz.....
