Bill Bruford drums & percussion

Brand new DVD of King Crimson in the 1980's. Showcasing one of the defining live acts of the period. As Robert Fripp puts it 'Records and live performance are two worlds. One is a love letter, the other a hot date. Crimson were always the band for a hot date.'

These two concerts offer different and contrasting snapshots of the 80's Crimson: Live in Frejus, heavily featuring material from the album Beat and filmed on tour in Europe with Roxy Music; and Three of a Perfect Pair showcasing the band's triumphant 1984 Japanese performances.

DVD Extras: Sleepless video - Tony's Road Photos - Discography

Amazon.com:
Neal and Jack and Me resurrects two stellar and long out-of-print King Crimson videos, Three of a Perfect Pair: Live in Japan 1984 and The Noise: Live in Frejus 1982, lacing them with a few tasty extras, including a video clip for 'Sleepless.' Crimson's 1980s lineup--Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, and Bill Bruford--is for many fans the quintessential incarnation of Fripp's still-evolving cast of virtuosic characters. In both shows, these artists embody all that's great in progressive music: instrumental prowess, yes, but also deft interplay, daring improvisation, and a synthesis of unique musical visions into something far greater than the considerable sum of its parts.

The Frejus show was filmed, while the Japan show was videotaped. Picture quality isn't great, but the DVD improves on the contrast and color vibrancy of the original releases. Likewise, sound quality is adequate: neither exemplary nor substandard. It's all about the music. Note: The version of Three of a Perfect Pair: Live in Japan 1984 included on this release is that of the 1991 reissue, which has a slightly different running order than the original 1984 release and omits the song 'Discipline.' --Michael Mikesell

- The classic is back and for good
This material is not new at all. In fact I remember I had 'The Noise' and "Three of a Perfect Pair live in Japan' show in an old VHS tape and it has a lot of missing parts due to the typical failures of that format. But it was cool anyway.
Now you have the opportunity to have them on DVD for a really low price and I must say with an incredible sound and picture quality (you have to think that these shows weren't recorded with HD cams).
I know we all want a Wetton-Cross-Bruford-Fripp era DVD maybe with a 'The Nightwatch'-like set list but that's utopic.
This is a MUST.

- Awesome
This is far better than I expected. I own two other KC DVDs, but this is better than both. Not only are these guys stellar musicians, but the combination of talent and imagination is amazing. This is definitely worth more than five stars. (The package says this is an hour performance; it's really over 80 minutes.) King Crimson at its best! You'll see KC playing nearly every song from "Discipline," "Beat," and "Three of a Perfect Pair." The band is very tight and what's more they obviously love what they're doing. A MUST SEE show if there ever was one.

- Larks Tongues In Aspic: The Movie
I'm very happy that they put this out on DVD. This features both the band's 1980's concert videos in one release. Although the Live In Japan video is from the 1991 reissue which features different song placements than the first 80's release as well as leaving off Discipline. Both Live In Japan 1984 and Live In Frejus 1982 were originally tv specials if I remember right. The performances here are excellent and I find it hard to single out favorites. The band is in top form in both shows. The 1982 show they were sharing a bill with Roxy Music. I wish that they had released some extra songs on here but I am happy that Robert Fripp saw fit to release these together one one release instead of dragging it out and making us have to buy them separate. This does include all the basic tunes from the 80's line-up(ie Heartbeat, Elephant Talk, Sleepless, ect) as well as a couple of different versions of Larks Tongues In Aspic ... Read More

- A "Must Have" for Fans of the 80's Incarnation of King Crimson
The Fripp/Bruford/Levin/Belew lineup was my personal favorite. This DVD is, therefore, required viewing. The production is great and the performances are of the highest order. If you like this lineup of King Crimson, you simply must have this DVD.
