But nothing compares to Lake's Vocals. At least on the studio version.. however I would say that Boz's vocals (specifically the Earthbound album) is also on par when he sings Schizoid Man.
I like that with Wetton's more strained-sounding voice there is no need for him to use distortion when singing this. Although it doesn't top the original for me.
4:05 absolute killer masterpiece. Better than the original. Wetton and Bruford are dangerously powerful together. There's nothing like them in the whole Prog scene. Other bass players or drummers are more "jazz" orienteered. These 2 lads can make everyone love the "virtuoso" Is there a need to mention Fripp?
This version of the song feels like jumping from the peak of K2 into a swimming pool of warm marshmallow fluff and cranberry sauce. I also recall jamming the CD for this live record in my dog's newly carved abdomen, and it wouldn't play. 10/10 classicccc.
Love listening to the different Lineups bring life into this masterpiece. FRIPP is Mastro. This lineup is Nasty. This lineup brought it. Seen Crimson in 16, 17., 21. Fantastic also in 95. But this lineup is legendary.
I used to have the vinyl version of the album USA where this song was included. I bought it back in 1976 if I remember correctly. We were a group of friends that used to play full album on the Saturday afternoons in my room, to get motivated before going out at night...we knew we were not going to hear anything like this once we would get to the Disco.

I have the CD version of this album but unfortunately is not with me now. But I remember I read in the leaflet that the stage was shaking so much from the power of the sounds that sometimes the drums or the microphones will move out of place and they had a hard time getting a good recording...which I think they got it excellent anyways
That jam is what I think and feel when someone or I utter the words "King Crimson". That wetton-bruford connection is tight as hell. Even the out of tune violin provides something special. Don't wanna be mean, but cross was not that good on the violin, he'd contribute pretty on the mello or other piano stuff, I'd have Jamie Muir doing his weird stuff instead.
Nah David Cross is actually really good on the violin. The problem is that most of the songs don’t really get along with the violin, but that’s what makes them special
This version of Crimson was the best live rock group of all time, nobody comes close to their improvisations within the structure of the song! These guys are immortals, masters of their instruments! And Fripp is the greatest musical genius of his time! No one is close!
I like this better than the original, without the distortion but with Bruford and Wetton. My favorite version is April Wine's cover. I know, sacrilege.
This is legit my favorite song of all time, only tied to Epitaph. I read they're about the Vietnam and Cold War. The _seemingly_ unrelated lyrics and chaotic sounds displays what it feels to have schizophrenia. Bravo.
I think what Schizoid Man is about is how in a world with crazy wars like Vietnam and stuff going on, it could lead to a future (21st century) where people try to avoid that stuff by isolating themselves and not interacting with others, such as someone with Schizoid Personality Disorder, a disorder similar in name to schizophrenia, but different in that what it mostly does is make someone with it uninterested in social relationships. That’s just my interpretation though. Also, I like your pfp and name
Went to see crimso live, about 2 years ago, and it was the opposite of this, no raw stuff, everything calculated perfectly, they played a collection of "hit" songs to cater the old fart audience. I paid for good tickets and left really disappointed. It was a good show nevertheless, everything was great, jakko is a great guitar player, but I think he doesn't understand how crimson vocal melodies work, it's pretty much soulless. He's a great singer, just not fit for crimso, lake, boz,wetton and belew understood it, not this guy. Sucks all the energy.
@@joaovitor_fnI also like how during the Jakko Jakszyk era of the band, they brought forward a LOT of earlier King Crimson material that the band hadn't played in quite a while... and did it BEAUTIFULLY.
I NEED to hear Wetton's bass track isolated. That was nuts. In my opinion he was one of the best bassists of all time.
Yes! I think best prog rock bassist of all time!
Immortal song. Listening to it in all versions is always a joy for the ears, for the mind, for the body.
This song describe well the actual days, IMHO.
@@giorgiocolletti3741 Prophetic

Bruford is the most interesting drummer of all time! Off beats are legendary!
Bruford tears it up on this song
Tears it the fuck up! He is so damn fast yet in total control. Listen to his hi-hat/snare drum interaction.
@@whistleblower3516perfectly stated!
@@whistleblower3516
Bingo!!!!! Perfectly put!
Fripp #1 guitarist of all time! ....Heck, Bruford best drummer ever, & Wetton best bass player ever!!!
This version is insane
Insanely Great
Oh my, they finaly fixed it from 'bebouw' to 'gebouw'.
John's voice really added a unique flair to this song.
But nothing compares to Lake's Vocals. At least on the studio version.. however I would say that Boz's vocals (specifically the Earthbound album) is also on par when he sings Schizoid Man.
@@humanman2358 If it weren't for the bad quality, that would be the BESt version so far

no prog rock group was ever better live than this version of Crimson! No one close!
And nobody can touch Fripp as a guitarist
He blows everyone away!
Sono solo in 2 che possono cantare degnamente questa meraviglia
Greg Lake e John Wetton
So badass... this track has greased my gears for 25 years!! Shreddy solo
Nothing compares to it!!
the definitive version imho and i have boatloads of concert recordings from this era.

A white knuckle ride. Lucky audience, great performance
Wow, this is so clear.
An inspired day, really high sound performance!
Only Wetton can top Greg Lake, but nobody can top them two
Your words are full of truth
As King Crimson vocalists, I agree, but there are other vocalists I like more than them
Boz

Yes, also the stage lights would "melt" the mellotron tapes so they had to tune it.
@@mulatso7959 that explains the weird mellotron sound at the begging of the talking drum and the end of the improv that comes before
Siempre con el maximo de exelenci@, los numero 1 siguen creando e interpretando mejor que nunca!!! GOD BLESS K. Krimson 21

Best bassist ever!
The 2nd heavy metal song, after Helter Skelter
@CoachBrækz not really heavy metal though, more proto punk
Try Floyd's Nile Song
Absolutely.
Then came Sabbath .
I would say the Del-Vetts' Last Time Around is also a contender.
Probably the closest version we could get if it was released on red instead
Listen to the Yessongs album version of Yours is no Disgrace and this. The structure of the 2 songs is really similar.

Yeah, Cross' violin was not tuned properly before and during too many performances. It seems to have been a chronic problem for his contributions.

It's a good point of view, but I disagree. I like jakko vocals, I think he sings very well a lot of KC music's from different albums
