John Wetton's vocals and bass on the 3 records he did with KC are god level. The talent that circulates in and out of KC to this day is legendary.

Грег Лейк и Джон Уэттон два легендарных музыканта, два вокалиста и два басиста великой группы Кинг Кримзон, светлая память обоим🕯️❤️

Interesting. Only one former member of KC playing this track. Nice to see the cross-breeding of YES, KC, ASIA, ELP and every other concoction from the golden years of Prog Rock.

Yep, strange choice, as it was Greg Lake who sang this with King Crimson, but perhaps John Wetton would have come across it later, live. Whatever, a good version of an old classic 👍

great song...... great musicians

I love also the guitar arrangement of Steve Howe...

First time Howe played this song live.

Interestingly John Wetton and Greg Lake were both vocalist at Asia and King Crimson, and they sang the other song vice versa.

Prog rock forever!

what a gem of a cover

Solid lineup of all-stars.

Palmer is great as always...Love the 'style'.

There is no real bad version of this classic but this is a great "prog update"..John Wetton pristine vocals as ever.....Palmer superb on drums as usual.... proper music....

Great version with this group of rockers. A masterpiece for sure...

このメンバーでもスパッとハマる感がたまらん。コピーに聞こえない、普通にえ?KC?みたいなｗ

John sang this in Steve Hackett's band with Julian Colbeck and Chester Thompson. Fantastic. Asia seems to be enjoying themselves here, which is great.

seeing this tour and this song was incredible

So glad they used Mellotron samples, wouldn't of sounded right otherwise imo

Rip John, Rip Greg

If there was ever an anthem for progressive rock, this would have to be it surely ?

the sweetiest version of the song

Until Rain with guests - Court Of The Krimson King (King Crimson Live Cover)

A jó zene időtlen !

RIP John Wetton

With all the great songs Wetton sang with KC, he should have sang one of those -like Exiles.

Chant parfait pour lire les formes subjectives des nuages et suivre d'un œil attendri les rainures des tiges des arbres; apprécier l'écriture complexe des branches imbriquées, goûter les couleurs de la décomposition de la lumière en gouttelettes d'eau dans un jardin, ressentir fortement le sol humide de la forêt ancestrale pour percevoir les traces des animaux du passé profond 🍍🌴🦹‍♂

Great version:) One thing that always bothers me with live versions is that the lead voice on the chorus ‘King ‘ part is always too loud in the mix which takes away the high point which makes it sound a bit dirge like.

Hey, what happened to the end? That was one of the best parts.

I think the ending of this song on the album with the spacey 'fade away' was more in keeping with the rest of the record whereas the song on its own does not require it ?

Michael Giles was the drummer at the time In The Court of the Crimson King was recorded. Bill Bruford is still a great drummer though, as is Carl Palmer

I like this version better than the original

not a complaint, but Asia should have played something from Red, Larks, or Starless which are albums that Wetton appeared on, granted he did perform this song live during his time with KC.

Whetton was obviously in KC, but after this song was written, and Palmer was in a different band with the guy who wrote the lyrics to this song and sang and played bass on the original recording of it. Cool twist.

The guy who wrote the lyrics for this and other songs on this album was not Greg Lake who sang and play bass. It was Peter Sinfield. Sinfield wrote all lyrics for King Crimson from the start up to Islands. 😉

It's listening to things like this that we realize that Asia was a waste of talent, that they made loads of money making fifth-rate songs to play on the radio.

I think it works a lot if you consider it Pop-Prog with AOR leanings. It’s not ‘Red’ or ‘Close to the Edge’ levels of Prog, but it’s not exactly pure AOR like Boston or Journey either.

I don’t think so, which is a shame.

Rediscovering this song... I wonder, who in the band is MOST embarrassed to play this as all of their entire existences were based on this blueprint. I think Howe.

Funny the Asia vocal lines version was identical to the original version, while the version of Greg Lake Band was really different. Lake, who was the original singer of that song, in his solo career did a much higher pitch on "..King aaah aah aaah..." that it was a bit awkward to listen to to be honest. Maybe Lake didn't get the rights to sing it like the original for some reasons, but Wetton acquired the rights.

If there exists a drummer that can play this song as well Bill Bruford it certainly must be Carl Palmer. That is if I'm correct in surmising that this is Carl Palmer, what with all the personnel changes. Who ever the hell it is certainly did justice to the songs essense and to Brufords original drum work on it.

まったくその通り、 遺産で喰ってる道楽野郎ども、最早プログレでもなんでもない…おそらくロックですらない。

I was shocked by such a significantly sub-standard lead vocal performance. It's really not such a demanding vocal piece - I'm amazed that he didn't quite have the chops for it. * Severe pitching problems right from the start. * Evidently unable to reliably hold, control or sustain a note of any reasonable length. * In a live performance, your audience deserve to hear a masterful presentation of what you can do - not what you can almost do / used to be able to do / wish you could do. Always remain within your 'zone-of-mastery' in live performances - stretching the boundaries and discovering your limitations is great... BUT ONLY IN REHEARSALS!!! Very sad, very disappointing, completely unnecessary.
