King Crimson

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!

They are probably out on tour- worth catching them. Personnel except Fripp different from the first album, but they do it justice, along with the track "Starless" from the album Red. Greg Lake's voice on "Epitaph" is stunning. 

Cost of period UK pink labels is high, and almost all have some noise on the quiet parts. The pink rims, used to be cheap, not any more. The Steve Wilson remixed remix is pretty good, whether in digital format or as a vinyl record. 

Live in Toronto 2016 (on vinyl as well) sounds very much like what I heard in a 2,000 seat hall several years ago when they came through Austin. Go hear them!
