Fripp was certainly smiling when he decided to not strike this
Vocalist does a great job calling back to Adrian's vocal performance while making it his own.
Excellent cover. I've never seen a band attempt a Discipline era KC song.

Not from Discipline, but the same lineup...Between the Buried and Me did a respectable studio cover of Three of a Perfect Pair.

There's a group of TEENAGERS in the School Of Rock program who did a bang-up job on Three Of A Perfect Pair. They were AMAZINGLY good, and you can find the clip on KZread.

I saw a band in FL do Frame By Frame in a tiny dive bar. Crimheads are everywhere
Sheer insanity. I started applauding my computer screen when the song ended. Everyone gets 5 out of 5 stars, especially the gentleman doing the Belew part, for he really pulled the elephant out of those strings
Brilliant version. That deserved a MUCH bigger audience.

I dont mean to argue against your excitement and stuff... Well, the cover is decent but... Well, did you see Tony Levin and Robert Fripp playing this song? Type in yt something like "Tony Levin Elephant Talk".

A risky endeavor covering crimso. Especially the weird 80s crimso. But, outstanding work! You guys nailed it! Way to go
I've caught every KC tour since Nov.7th, 1969 at the Kinetic Playground, Chicago, IL, I caught the Discipline tour Nov.13 th '81 at the Agora in Atlanta driving from Orlando Fl This was the first tour after KC, (Fripp and Bruford) had taken a 7 year hiatus ... (7 hr drive after a 7 year wait :- ) This past July, I caught their show once again in Atlanta, this time only a 3 hour drive from where I've retired in N Carolina. Sadly I believe this will be Crimson's last tour. Elephant Talk a famously difficult piece from a band famously fond of difficult pieces. Congrats YOU ALL NAILED IT ! !!! !
Holy smokes. Never expected to see Elephant Talk covered - and so well! Great video. All performances were amazing.
Unbelievably excellent, as good as the original record, hats off 🙌
What?! Someone doing a cover of 80's era King Crimson?!! Who in their right mind? Of course you have to click on that. What I wasn't expecting is such a fantastic performance! Very well done gentlemen! Bravo and thank you for keeping this alive to younger generations. I'm sure KC is honored to be grouped with Primus and Tool.
I was skeptical at first, but yeah - you guys pulled it off... Very well done!!!

Puede y debe hacerlo mejor!!! Nada inalcanzable!!!
my dad, whose dad played him that record when it came out and has multiple copies himself, clapped heartily after watching that. he says that you made it your own.
Even trying to cover this crazy song is worth kudos, let alone your version. Respect guys!
Damn! I just stumbled across this little gem. Brilliant recreation on such a complicated song! Excellent mix too! Good job!
You guys nailed it!! The drummer was amazing!!! 👏👏👏
This turned into a very pleasant surprise. The lead guitar was maybe a tiny tiny bit off near the beginning, but came good and then some. The bass was spot on, but it was the vocal that really surprised me. Such a clean and clear vocal. I would love to hear him sing some other stuff.

I have to keep coming back and revisit this, and it always seems to surprise me with how good it is. I wonder how many people in the audience appreciated what they were listening to, and how exceptionally well it was being played and sung?
Props to the bassist for handling his instrument as both a bass *and* as a Stick 'lite.'
Flipping heck lads. I hope your audience realise how technically difficult this music is. You have nailed it. This is nomean feat
Greetings from Denmark, here. (I don't know if that's important... Just want you guys to know that you have caused global joy with this one. If you are in doubt.) Fantastic job. We were so happy over here when Crimson reincarnated, and this cover emits such warm vibrations. The athmosphere around it - the garden, soft rainy weather, around 30 people in the audience, the playfulness, incredible sound - is so cool. Perfect frame for super musicianship, thank you.

Thank you so much!!!!!
Man I clicked on this honestly expecting to be as let down as I've been when searching Dixie Dreggs covers. FABULOUS job!!! If you guys were playing in a venue full of folks in the know, they'd still be clapping. You guys didn't play an homage to King Crimson, you nailed Elephant Talk. BRAVO!!!!! Buy your sound man a beer, the snare was perfect, the mix was on the same level as the musicianship. Completely blown away ( drummer of 40 years and Crimson fanatic)

That was awesome. Vocals are spot on.

The vocals were good but actually there wasn't a lot of actual singing of course I'm not sure anybody would want to try to sound like Adrian belew mother was an excellent cover from an old man that's got a Lark's Tongue in aspic Eclipse tattooed on his arm
Bicker...banter....balderdash...great job fellas! Love to see this...
Holy crap, that was AWESOME! I can't believe how good that sounded! One of my favorite songs ever.
Wow, talk about a dive off of the high platform with a high degree of difficulty! Two enthusiastic thumbs up, excellent all the way around. My group of old dudes, if we can pull off 'Red' without screwing up I think we've accomplished something. Wouldnt dream of attempting this.
major applause for even attempting Elephant Talk, it's a beast of a song and you guys did great.
Brilliant .I felt exactly the same when I first heard Red by Crimson in 74. .Well done boys
Difficult song to cover. Well done. Lifelong King Crimson fan.
Wow!!! Sounds just like Adrian Belew.. Fripp, Levin, & Bruford just wow. You hit this into the stratosphere. Thanks for posting. 🎵🎼😎🎼🎵 Lyonnesse
NOWAY! I'm in absolute awe. The audience is so ungrateful haha you guys deserved the craziest howls at the end of the song!

Wow. Had to listen to it a few times. Great vocals. Great everything actually.
It takes some big cajones to attempt a cover of Elephant Talk with all of Crimson's tech. You guys actually did it. In the back yard no less!!! Very clever bass player to mimic the stick. Nice guitar work too. Well done!
I never even dared suggest the idea to any of my bands. Impressive performance. I can feel the soul of the song that has been baffling me for over 15 years from that legendary live performance. How bold and how amazing!
I Am A big Fan Of The Red Album, The Blue Album, & The Yellow Album from the 1980 Era. King Crimson In The 80's Was The Best Sound! Nice Work With Perfoming This Song! -Greg.
Bravo Guys, well done. I have my Beat tickets for the Clearwater show. Stoked!!!
Wow! You guys took on the beast, and pretty much nailed it! Brave lads! Well done!
I am looking at my 40th anniversary edition of Discipline. Not a single weak track on it. Kudos for tackling this great song!!!
King Crimson aren't known for having their songs covered by other artists. For added authenticity, one of the guitarists should have been seated. Very impressive and very enjoyable!
Great, great job indeed! A risky choice, which did not let down a crimson fan such as me! Bravo!!
Superb cover
Everything that comes from King Crimson... Is hard than you think... Amazing performance!
Such an awesome performance!!! Congrats!!
Wow, guys you really nailed it, I've been listening to Discipline since it came out. Never heard a cover this awesome!
Outstanding! Superb musicianship, not only technically, but also, making a (difficult) classic your own. I am a very happy listerner. Thank you, YT algo. You've made my night,
That drummer was SUPERB... got the Bruford vibe and intent down to a T.

Dang! I have never ever seen mere human beings attempt this song. You hit this one out of the park! It takes a whole lot of Discipline to master that crazy groove. Then you added value and made it your own! If I were at your gig I'd have been clapping and whooping like a teen at a Beatles concert. When I hear supremely talented musicians like you all playing for free for almost no audience in someone's front yard, I feel satisfied to have played music all my life and never made a dime as a professional musician. 'Cause if guys like you are being this off-the-charts brilliant in complete obscurity then I can feel good about my own musical obscurity. And I will never be able to touch this song, so I'm glad our world has you guys in it to take charge and inspire the next generation. Rock on!

That was awesome! Love the bass tapping, and figures it takes two of you to cover Tony! Great tune for an outdoor barbeque.
This is an amazing cover.
I covered this too in 1981! Nice job! McG!
You guys were having WAY TOO MUCH FUN! Congrats on a very nice performance!
You guys KILLED IT
Congratulations!!! Is an excellent approximation to the perfection of that interpretation!! Is very cool 😎
Thanks for the memories. What an incredible song, album and band that was. Excellent cover!
I grew up listening to King Crimson from my brothers! Love this. It’s perfect for you guys!
A real good performance guys, all of you did a great job. I have never seen such a good KC song not played by any of their members. Congrats!
That was terrific fellas. Vocal performance especially. Thank you.
Fantastic boys That’s my favorite era of king crimson 🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job, guys! Discipline is my favorite Crimson album, and one of my favorite albums period. I saw Crimson do this live. You guys did a great job capturing the feel! I just listened twice - more to come.
Wow - I really didn't expect this to be so good! Great job guys.... Love&Peace
Holy crap! That is the best thing I've seen in a while. Champion!
WOW, that was a BLAST! Thanks you guys, I would been jumping out of my shoes and dancing like a loon if I'da been there. Congrats to every one of you for nailing it.
I love the way the guitarists alternated between the individual Belew and Fripp parts. Great cover!
WOW! Simply wow. You totally nailed it. This performance has the whole vibe of the song. Thanks for sharing!!!
Mad props to this band and this cover of one of my favorite bands doing an iconic song!
What an incredible rendition, having seen the Mighty Crim 6 times going back to the Discipline tour. I think you guys nailed it!
Wow. Wasn’t sure what to expect , but it just sailed out of the stadium👍🏻👍🏻
RESPECT! Anyone who can pull this kind of song off as well as you guys did needs more recognition!
This is absolutely fantastic. My favorite King Crimson tune and you guys nailed it!!
Excellent! Also, such a nice venue for a concert.
I wasn’t expecting anyone to be good enough to nail this, but you all did. Extraordinaria versión. Gracis
No way! To even dare to do this... and to execute so well! Thank you for sharing.

Good cover. That is so Cool!
Beautifully done! Awesome accomplishment - you didn’t just pull it off - this was VERY inspiring and enjoyable! I’ve played Chapman Stick for 23 year’s now and was not at all disappointed hearing you play it on a fretless 😊… Tony has a filter sounding phaser that almost imitates the fretless growl. Thanks for posting - made my night!
Thanks for covering. It's good.
Awesome. Brilliant. Chilling. Daring. Excellent!
Awesome!!! You guys are amazing!!! I wish I was there to see this!
Good job fellas - that ABelew skat was right on time. There was a point where the group reached that magik. The boys couldn't have done it better on low tech, haha.
This was just great! All did an awesome job, Congrats!
Very ambitious and impressive cover. Totally impressive. Wow, thanks for bringing this the younger generations. Just so good. You guys nailed it. Thank you.
That was killer. You guys totally nailed that.
Wow! First time I hear a cover of this song. I love this era of King Crimson! Beautiful and well done!
Absolutely fabulous!
Amazing! I hope to hear more from you guys.
Great job.
Pretty much NAILED IT!
Really nice sound quality and performance
Nice job guys. Love that tune and you guys nailed it.
Absolutely fantastic!

Absolutely awesome!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING!!! great cover!!👍

Excellent performance! So nice to see young people covering old brilliant music.
This is an awesome cover! You guys are killing it!
Beautiful!!!💚
Amazing! The piece itself is one of the all time classics. And the band performing it, they are just wonderful!!!!
guys! awesome job on that! one of my faves!!
That was lovely. Thanks
Brilliant, I first heard this played by KC in the Queensway Hall Dunstable, blew me away then, I can I just say this cover blows me away in the same way....congratulations
Randomly had Matte Kudasai pop in my head, and down the youtube rabbit hole I went. I couldn't be happier than to have landed on this one - you guys absolutely killed the unkillable. Went in thinking "no way they do this justice" came out with my jaw on the floor. Fantastic.
Masterfully played and extra points for having the guts to do it! ❤❤❤❤
