21st Century Schizoid Man
October 17th, 2007Like I said in an earlier post, King Crimson has been around since the sixties and has been through a billion changes in the lineup. The incarnation in this video (for the classic and awesome “21st Century Schizoid Man”) features Greg Lake on vocals and bass. Greg Lake went on to super-stardom in the seventies as the “L” in ELP (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) and then as a part of Asia in the eighties (remember them – “Heat of the Moment” – with the dude from Yes on guitar). The vocals are run through a fuzz box, hence the cool sound.
Also dig the hippies.

Someone pointed out in the comments on You Tube - the version in the video is the studio recording dubbed onto a live performance. I think it still looks pretty cool though.
