Guest Sundaram Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I saw King Crimson live in 71....it was great (Hookfoot' date=' featuring Caleb Quaye, were the support).[/quote']Would that have been on July 15th at the Watford Town Hall?If so that would have been this line up.

palmer_eldritch Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 King Crimson rock. Great live album is "Cirkus; A young person's guide to king crimson live"First cd focusses on their 80s stuff, which i think is totally awesome. Crazy energetic songs like "Elephant Talk" and "Thela Hun Ginjeet" totally do it for me.Second cd is their earlier career, but admittedly the recording quality isn't great on the cd 2.But i'd buy the cd if only for cd one. The 80s songs sound much, much, much better live, with certain backing vocals removed from "Three of a perfect pair" (really makes the difference in the song!)Also i never really heard zappas music as prog either. I don't really know how to put it in words, but i get a feel from prog rock thats different from the feel of Zappa.Also, anyone heard Fripp's stuff he did with "The League of Crafty Guitarists". I recommend you look into the song "A connecticut Yanky in the court of king arthur". I laugh every time i hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 It was indeed......I remember being impressed with Formentera Lady. The same week I went to see Sha Na Na, Manfred Mann, Come to the Edge and Heaven at the Roundhouse, all dresed up in my tie-dye top, sandals and acne.

rune Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 They don't suck. Tool are heavily influenced by King Crimson. They are the first to admit this. Talking of Tool' date=' Adrian Belew from King Crimson has formed a band with Danny Carey and the bassist from Primus[/quote']Music is all about opinion and i do think they suck, ive heard their material so dont try and preach to me what i can and cant like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Lets see' date=' King Crimson basically invented a new sub genre of rock music(ie: Art/Progressive Rock), upped the standard of playing in bands, innovated music and continue to do so after more than 30 years and have wrote loads of classic songs!Tool have...?[/quote']I heard both and ive made my opinion its as simple as that. Am i not aloud to express my opinion on these boards?Obviously not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yeah but they quite clearly do not suck. Just because you don't like something it doesn't mean they are rubbish. Now be quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Has anyone heard Robert Fripp's solo album Exposure? Its sort of the link between the 70's and 80's Crimson stuff. Like some bits sound like they could of been on Red but you can also hear a bit of the things that were going to come later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I remember hearing good things about Exposure, but never heard the actual album. Years ago I thought 'Frippertronics' must have been something terribly complicated, but no doubt some of you can tell me what was actually used. Phil?

Alan Cynic Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Thanks, Philip....I enjoyed reading that. So it was kind of like a Line 6 loop pedal. (Wish I could afford one of those!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Wish I'd known about the 2 tape trick a few years ago. I used to have 2 Revoxes (I've still got an early 60s G36 which I love, but I gave my B77 to Cavern Mike). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Those demos are a must-have once my pay comes in!Mike N was very generous to me, too - he gave me his 4-track cassette portastudio so I could keep on home recording. (He now has to avoid lynch mobs of music fans ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Apparently this is the set up Robert Fripp uses now...A little bit more advanced than the two Revox tape machines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodast Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Wow, I never suspected such antics had been afoot in the dark times of before-I-registered-here! That clip is far out I just realised how cool it would be to have seen KC live! And Bill Bruford is well cute D'ya know if there's somewhere to download the rest of that programme?Listening to Starless and Bible Black now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
