King Crimson - Full Show (The Noise - Live At Fréjus 1982)

Full Playlist here: https://shorturl.at/dhtU3
The reformed King Crimson of 1981 emerged as a completely distinct entity from its late '60s/early '70s incarnation. Notably, Adrian Belew (vocals/guitar) and Tony Levin (bass) joined the ranks alongside previous members Bill Bruford (drums) and the leader/founder Robert Fripp (guitar). While the band retained its musical unpredictability, their fresh sound and approach deviated significantly from their original progressive direction. With two albums released under this new lineup (1981's Discipline and Beat), King Crimson embarked on a tour that led to the creation of their first home video, 'The Noise: Live at Fréjus.' Initially recorded in August of '82 at the Arena in France, this video remained largely unseen until its reissue by DGM in 1997. However, it serves as an exceptional visual testament to the '80s-era King Crimson. Now available both as a full concert and as individual clips exclusively on the official King Crimson YouTube channel.

Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Footloose And Fancy Free (Teatro Opera, Buenos Aires, 28th Sept 2002)

This is at the end of a long sweaty evening in front of a great Buenos Aires crowd. South America generally, but particularly Chile and Argentina, have always shown massive appreciation for my stuff, and they don't fuss about the 'Is it rock, is it jazz?' business, so it's all very relaxing. When I was in Crimson in '95, we lived and rehearsed the music for 'Thrak' in this city for a while before doing a run of half a dozen shows in town, so we know each other pretty well.

This tune 'Footloose and Fancy Free' became bit of a signature theme for the band, something like 'Hell's Bells' did for my late 70s band Bruford. Although I've played it a lot, it was often with different personnel in different ensembles, so the (saxophonist) Tim Garland's version here is going to sound quite different from the (saxophonist) Patrick Clahar's reading, or the Earthworks Underground 9-piece version, or the original studio recording, for example. It's one of those pieces you can bring a lot of yourself too. And if you can't think of anything to bring, or you're having an off-night - oh, it happens...! - it's going to work anyway.

Thanks, Buenos Aires, for making this a really memorable evening!
