YouTube is SO aggravating!

Is there anything you can do to make viewing these videos any smoother? After it loads, it plays for 3 seconds, pauses for 5 seconds, plays for 2 seconds, pauses for 3 seconds, etc. It makes watching any of the videos excruciating! I'm on broadband so I figured it would work fine, but it doesn't. Is this just the way it is?

Also which incarnation of King Crimson is this? I don't really recognize anyone:

In The Court Of The Crimson King

 

I have the same problem.

mud-

 

It seemed to play ok for me.I also didn't recognize any one either.
Pretty good version of Crimson King though.

 

Just pause playback until the whole thing's downloaded and then press play...

 

Yep, that's the secret.

 

Yeah that's it!

You have to let it "play" all the way through and then replay it and it works fine.

Any ideas on the King Crimson guys?

 

According to the site, that is NOT King Crimson, though there are a few alumni there. Steve Hackett Band, w/Wetton and McDonald.

 

I thought it was weird that Fripp wasn't playing guitar - so that's Wetton singing?

 

Looks like Chester Thompson on drums, Steve Hackett and John Wetton.

 

Wetton's always sounded a little like Lake, but it does sound pretty damn good though...

 

This is:

Here's the real deal: the Larks' Tongues lineup, complete with crazed Jamie Muir! (I didn't realize he played so much kit.)
