King Crimson


The only knowledge I had of King Crimson was my first LP bought self titled Bad Company, and reading the bass player Boz came from Crimson. Fast forwarded 50 years and I am now hearing for the first time "in the court of the Crimson King". I know I wouldn't have liked what I love today, when I was 13. Amazing players and composers! Court is not dismissed, please remain seated.

I am fascinated by the recording of instruments and sounds. Islands in 1970? I don't believe anyone else was using the studio this way...a few years later the Dan? Compositions include different genres, crazy good, next up...Larks'

King Crimson is only the opening act. Check out Robert Fripp's videos with Toyah Willcox. They're ... something else! But beware; once you watch their Sunday Lunch version of "I'm Too Sexy," you can never unwatch it!

Saw them many times since the Discipline tour.  Most recently last September at the Beacon in NYC.  It might have been the last US tour, although in a discussion with Fripp before the show, he eluded to perhaps a string of shows somewhere.  They played in a Broadway theater for like 2 weeks in ~1996 (saw one), so I can imagine something like that.  Said three members of the band are in their 70's and doing the tour bus thing was getting too difficult.

That's Fripp?? I fell on youtube a few years back and thought this is artistic, lol. The Beacon is a great venue!
