The late, phenomenal John Wetton on bass and vocals performing with King Crimson back in 1973. Crimson plays "Exiles". Wetton had a very distinct and powerful singing and playing style. We will miss his myriad contributions to popular music. Another unique talent is lost.

KING CRIMSON JAM 1973
This is a video of King Crimson improvising live in Bremen in 1973. King Crimson, in its original run, blended a diversity of musical styles in their playing. A wild variation of instruments are utilized here. In addition to guitar, bass and drums, flourishes of flute, violin, mellotron and percussion are injected. An interesting noise results. The players include Robert Fripp, John Wetton, David Cross, Bill Bruford and percussion whirlwind, Jamie Muir. It is nice that a lot of these performances were recorded as the band's personnel could shift quite quickly.
