Jesus, just blow my mind away!!! You cannot know how disappointed I am that I have never seen Fripp and the genius musicians he hires, play live and at this point, Jan 2023, I probably never will. Thank God for the people who upload to RUclips!! Thank you!
Saw the 50th anniversary show in Chicago. Embarrassed that after being a fan for 37 years, I had never seen them play. Now stoked for the Cincy Beat set. Never miss another
I bought "In the Court of the Crimson King" off the rack in 1969, and I never looked back. It was the start of a love affair with King Crimson and spread to ELP, Rick Wakeman, and on and on. Some may say I frittered my time and money away, however I would argue that point. These musicians are simply too good to ignore. I am 70 now, and I still love this great music. A lifetime of entertainment is worth a little time and money.
TBH I have only just stumbled across King Crimson, having been a prog rock fan from the offset, starting with Camel,Genesis, Floyd ect ,I obviously new about Crimson ,but took a different road, so,here I am,knocking on 79.years young ,loving what I've just listened to,twice in 3 hours,gotta search for some CDs and vinyl before its too late,and the Reaper catches up.with me😅.
same. well, them and Dillinger Escape Plan, haha. I was always obsessed with all the KC lineups but have finally really jelled with the genius of this era. very dark and tight, but with a lot of beauty.
@@arekhautaluoma4276 It's honestly pretty fun to start listening to KC and realize that none of the albums are really similar at all because they all have different people. It makes going deep into their music more enjoyable.
Crimson is a musician academy once you're allowed in you are graduated to the next level.... Though I have my favorite Crimson line-up : Discipline....
Elihu Wygant thinks they sound like they are a washed up band "practicing"(no offense Elihu). and Kevin Kiso thinks it's "fucking absolutely brilliant" The true beauty of music and artists in general, we all have very different tastes and sometimes we get to meet others with whom we have something in common!!
Bill Miller Yeah, "washed up" (aka still playing to paying audiences decades after their initial fame) and "practicing" music Elihu couldn't write or perform if his life depended on it. Perhaps not the best show from that tour, but c'mon.
This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery, the songs fill with fervor and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌺🕊️
One of the best shows I've ever seen in a club. I can't believe Adrian can sing and play some of the patterns he pulls off. Amazing musicians, the lot of em.
How can anyone listen to "ordinary" music again after hearing this? this is what music was always meant to be, but nobody had either the balls nor talent to make it happen. If Robert Fripp never plays another note.he will be immortalized as one of the world's greatest musicians by those of us who could hear the genius.
Not by going cold turkey. I suggest slowly turn down to 'more ordinairy' by going through Van Der Graaf Generator, followed by some early Gentle Giant only to be followed by some 'Roundabout' Yes or 'Firth of Fifth' Genesis. To me that would be the only rehabilitating way back to some good ol' four-to-the-floor stuff.... Other suggestions welcome, though. I've been trying to rehab from prog for some time now, but I keep on getting side-tracked by even more obscure stuff like Khan or Caravan... Oh well. Maybe I just have to learn to live with my love for the unconvential side of things... :)
+Plan B Press , Publisher There's nothing that music was "meant to be". Music is literally what we make it to be. This just happens to be some really good music.

You can sense the influence Adrian picked up from his time with Zappa. Robert is in a class by himself. I hope he lives to be 100 and he keeps on sitting in his wizard’s corner cranking out his musical alchemy.
All true on this thread. Robert should be knighted. I read Adrian’s story on his initial joining of KC. Robert…the King of Meter…spent 6 weeks teaching Adrian his fast picking technique. And of course Adrian was already the King of Noise and according to Bill Bruford his voice clarity could overcome any muddy PA system or building configuration.
After more than forty years, still the best band I know. And probably the music of King Crimson still will be many years a source of inspiration for many bands and musicians. I will enjoy the music of King Crimson until the end of my life.
I saw a version of king crimson with just adrian and fripp open for porcupien tree in 2006 at the nokia theatre in NYc, that should tell you something... Love the King though
Trev James porcupine tree had their moment when they were good, today though they are suffering from what most band does lack of fantacy, they just keep on preducing albums but they do never come up with something good.
MrBrodernafluff Totally true, Porcupine Tree had its moments but nothing conclusive to be compared to giants like King Crimson who, no matter what lineup, has released only great albums. I have listen everything but nothing compares to KC.

What if you had listened to Fripp for 25 years and went to this show waiting for your old or newer fave's, and hear this!!! O.M.F.G. it's brilliant. It's clear. It's fresh!. It's new. It's what music should be. It's what heaven should be. Need a time machine.
I was a fan of the first King Crimson (The Sinfield days…) but lost their track for years, and I have “rediscovered” them recently… For the “Beat” tour I bought a “meet and greet” ticket for the first time in my life 😊
Was lucky enough to see this show in Los Angeles, front row center seat. I recall the look on Adrian's face at the sight of us all moved to our feet in applause. He seemed genuinely moved by the love from the audience. What a gift.
I discovered ‘Larks Tongues in Aspic’ about 50 years ago and my life has never been the same since (I’m quite old now!). It is still to me the most bonkers piece of music I’ve ever heard. Everything sounds like it’s being played backwards. Pure effing genius. Every single part is off on one.
It seems like the entire history of prog rock led to this apex of a moment, prog at it's absolute best. Lots of Gentle Giant atonalities and looping off- kilter rhythms too, a special treat for me.
This is not, music for kids. Or most radio stations for that matter. The One and Only! Disappointing that Adrian was so unceremoniously let go though. A little insensitive on the part of Fripp to be honest.
Christmas Eve Alone and this is my feel fkn awesome. Thank you King Crimson. I love you. Been following your music since 1970s. You are Amazing ❤️😘🎄2021 12/24
I was 22 years old. I was studying English Literature and started to smoke grass and enjoy music. I was starting to play bass. I had been captivated by Tool's Lateralus album and Pink Floyd was my religion. I lived in Valencia, Spain, a place where music culture was provincial and boring. No one ever came to Valencia. If you wanted to see a good concert you had to go to Madrid or Barcelona. One day I read that King Crimson was coming to Valencia and a friend told me that it would be great to go, but the tickets were too expensive for a Spanish student. Fortunately, I got two invitations by pulling contacts from local radio stations, where I had some friends. It was the Power to Believe tour. The set list was that one. The lineup was that. The show, even the costumes, are cloned. I promise you this: if an alien or inter-dimensional spacecraft came down right now and its occupants spoke to me telepathically revealing something trascendental to me about the sense of existence, they wouldn't reach that mix of listening to King Crimson for the first time and live absolutely stoned. I'm 37 right now, I'm smoking an excellent pot and I just found this video. I send a kiss on the cheek and a very emotional hug to whoever uploaded it. Thank you so much. I am your friend forever.
Это самый лучший концерт за всю историю "Кримсонов", поверьте мне. Здесь Фрипп соТоварищи выложились на полную катушку. Их музыка пусть и серьёзна порой, но заводит сердца слушателей и поднимает боевой дух.
Un grupo que ha marcado la escena cultural inglesa, el grupo con mayor profundidad en la búsqueda de nuevas formas musicales desde la óptica del rock, más que Pink Floyd, más que Yes. Algunas veces a lindado con el jazz, algunas otras veces con la música electrónica experimental, bajo un sello muy característico recreado bajo la conducción de Robert Fripp, el viejo Robert Fripp, iconoclasta, experimental, arriesgado al igual que todos los grandes músicos que integraron las diversas formaciones de este King histórico y bellamente raro.
Que buen comentario ...........gracias a este tipo de rock progresivo, podremos decir claramente que los nuevos generos de la musica electronica como el psychedelic trances son influencia de esta gran musica.......y de estos grandes musicos
Fripp es tan diferente que hasta vino a México a tocar en el Salón Los Ángeles, templo de la música tropical, salsera, caribeña, etc. Que también me gusta. Su concepto de Crafty Guitar es otro nivel.
@johnebgood108 : Incoming Astralgram...from the desk of "A Thousand Suns": Only a true connoisseur of the entity, known as Robert Fripp,would know about his "studies "of Russian mystic Gurdjieff.Your explanation is an eloquent description of the ritual of a King Crimson "spectacle". OM......................live your life.....................end transmission.🔮✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
as i listen to the introscape, this is brilliantly done. he sends the notes out exactly where they belong, as beautiful as nature, but from the hands of a man. then all broke loose....
They were last heard, after leaving our Solar System, approaching Betelgeuse in the Orion constellation 🌌 ! (and yes, I know sound waves can’t travel in a vacuum but it’s a lovely thought 😃).
I saw this same concert played in Malaga Spain..... and its still one of the very best concerts I've seen. Technically it was a perfect wall of sound. Mind you, I can understand some ppl not being able to handle Mr Fripp's brilliance.
said "everything we know we learned from king crimson, just don't tell them" something like that, paraphrase. to which fripp responded: "i don't hear it". lmfao... they are on the next level, f'n with us in the most beautiful way. pure gold, high art.
King Crimson is one of the greatest out there the reproduction of their songs it's like unbelievable most people don't understand how hard it is to reproduce the sound that's in a song it may be 30 years old let alone it's a real sound of the original when it was made any other musician tried any of this stuff that is Kick-Ass would fall on there faces sour'ly thanks for the post
Pat, your long sentence is work of genius as well! You could not have expressed it better , but low marks for punctuation. Hi marks for expression :):):):
At age 16, around 1973, I saw them at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC ; Bill Buford was front & center. I've never been the same since. Who needs drugs ?
Thanks for makin' me cry tears of joy (ie.). Been following FRIPP since his collaboration with Gregg Lake of the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. That was back in 1969 ; the original lineup of the "Crimson Kings" !
Fripp always pauses, before a concert, and looks at everyone in the audience, and prays for them. the audience here got impatient. he always does that.
It's their job... The same way a mathematics teacher can teach to children or an electrician can remember how to rewire a complex bit of equipment... The members of bands such as King Crimson, Yes , Weather Report etc. always amazed me just as you mentioned but they have all honed their skills together and listened to what each other member is bringing and if the synchronicity is right between them you end up with something as marvellous as this... An absolute joy.
This music is so able to transcend strait into my heart and mood. With all the human emotions it reaches out to . . . still moves me after all the times I've listened to it. I'm being very thankfull to all of KC's players and performers.
WONDERFUL! Thanks! Pat Mastelotto. The drums dede 1994. Antes era o great Bill" Bruford, foi baterista do Yes, King Crimson, UK e Genesis, entre outros conjuntos de rock progressivo. Bill Bruford trouxe para o rock novos rudimentos, técnicas orquestrais e de jazz.
Love it, watched this vid a dozen or more times. Killer as always. Always longing to hear Bruford on this stuff, his snare is so recognizable, his random hits that fit in the most crazy perfect way like dynamic yet unpredictable mathematics
@@philippecirse4872 j'ai aussi longtemps suivi magma dans ma jeunesse et les ai vu plusieurs fois en concert. Christian Vander est absolument exceptionnel même s'il est un peu fou. J'ai adoré le chanteur Klaus Blasquiz, mais je ne sais pas ce qu'il est devenu, mise à part qu'il signait des articles dans la revue "vidéo broadcast" . Mes 3 albums préférés de magma restent mechanik destructiw kommandöh, Üdü Wüdü et le double live kobaïa de leur jeunesse. Il ne faut pas oublier que ce groupe a accueilli des musiciens à l'époque exceptionnels et qui le sont restés comme janick Top qui a d'ailleurs composé de des albums cités plus haut) un des meilleurs bassistes mondiaux, et Didier Lokwood qui est devenu un violoniste de jazz mondialement connu, mais qui nous a malheureusement quitter trop tôt. Je recommande vivement à tous d'aller écouter ce groupe totalement hors norme...
Awesome the psychedel event in worlds music developing history .The beautiful balanced mix stereo. If d't were be pauses /for applauses for example,imho/between music creations, :))then how much crazy people should be coming out ! from This wonderfully concert - Celebration of The real music Art !!

+spookybaba I wrote "advice", so I have edited the message after the Karl observation. Thanks about it, my english sucks hard, it's not my natal language :)
I saw this tour at a suburban club 5 minutes from my house - surprised that they would be booked out in Agoura Hills. Small venue, and man oh man did they pack a punch. Fripp and his collective NEVER sat still...
This is music for the thinking man. Whole tone scales, wild key changes, complex rhythms, madcap genius lyrics, - no visceral blues here - and a level of musical mastery that most players can't even dream of.
ça fait un petit moment que je n'ai pas écouter cette période et là je me tape ce live ... bon sang que ça fait du bien de temps en temps ... la perfection, l'excellence, toujours aussi indescriptible de ce groupe immense quelle que soit la période depuis 1969... impossible de décrocher ... à peu près le même concert la même année au Nikaïa de Nice mais on avait eu droit à "Red" en final ... ;)
I started this thread as a joke. Fripp plays while seated because he believes that this gives him greater control of his instrument. Hard to argue with that when you hear him play.
Mike Giles, Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto are the three drummers that really suited King Crimson and embraced what they were about. I'm really glad that Mastelotto is still hanging around and that Tony Levin and Mel Collins are back. Shame about Trey Gunn and Adrian Belew though.
Honestly this current line-up is disappointing. Instead of rebranding the whole style of King Crimson like all the previous bands have, the current line-up just seem like a Greatest hits band, which is not what Crimson is about. They play well sure but Jakko is less than a shadow compared to Belew or Wetton
Jakko is a joke, who was he before he joined KC? how many solo albums does he have? what has he done? Nothing, he is a nobody. On the other hand, Adrian Belew had a great career before KC.. Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads..
Genius is just about right ? I've opened something up at 65 years of age that I had known since I was a mid teen and this music is seriously brilliant ! I've mates that have been around longer ,strange as it is but these are phenomenal yet people that's still alive can relate 2 a band that's hardly known 2 the populists of disregarded rock!

Totally agree to all
You really missed something very very beautiful. I have seen them in Amsterdam, together (invited by) my dad… it was amazingly great.
Saw the 50th anniversary show in Chicago. Embarrassed that after being a fan for 37 years, I had never seen them play. Now stoked for the Cincy Beat set. Never miss another
Saw them 2x, 79&82 I think, and both I thought 2 of the very best ever🌛
I bought "In the Court of the Crimson King" off the rack in 1969, and I never looked back. It was the start of a love affair with King Crimson and spread to ELP, Rick Wakeman, and on and on.

Exacto! Dices bien. Un gusto genuino, sincero, que resiste el paso de los años.
Music has made life all too worthwhile, saved me many times 🌛
Unmistakably impeccable no matter what the King Crimson lineup.When you have musicians of this caliber,you won't find imperfections only brilliance.

Вау впервые слышу Это что то Профессионализм зашкаливает Просто нет слов супер I Love it
Мой первый его диск был Starless and Bibleblack,
в 1975 это было нечто!
Спасибо, удачи.
Love how Fripp sits over in his little blue corner even though he's the Crimson King.
Almost Sixty at that time... not easy at all... :)
MerkinMuffly The Crimson King is sitting on his throne!
Fripp is a special guy, a british guy, with a very much sense of good and bad, what appropriate or not
A crimson king is one who send his troops into battles they cannot win.
I honestly don't think I have ever seen a video of Mr Fripp standing. o_O
I was a fan of the first King Crimson (The Sinfield days…) but lost their track for years, and I have “rediscovered” them recently… For the “Beat” tour I bought a “meet and greet” ticket for the first time in my life 😊
I saw them in Nashville... absolutely incredible.

This is some serious music. Not for everyone, but when you get it it's the most fastastic weird rock band ever.
Amazing, isn't it? Not a cliché or false note in the show.

If you wanted to see a good concert you had to go to Madrid or Barcelona. One day I read that King Crimson was coming to Valencia and a friend told me that it would be great to go, but the tickets were too expensive for a Spanish student. Fortunately, I got two invitations by pulling contacts from local radio stations, where I had some friends. It was the Power to Believe tour. The set list was that one. The lineup was that. The show, even the costumes, are cloned.
I promise you this: if an alien or inter-dimensional spacecraft came down right now and its occupants spoke to me telepathically revealing something trascendental to me about the sense of existence, they wouldn't reach that mix of listening to King Crimson for the first time and live absolutely stoned.
I'm 37 right now, I'm smoking an excellent pot and I just found this video. I send a kiss on the cheek and a very emotional hug to whoever uploaded it. Thank you so much. I am your friend forever.
greetings from Csorna, Hungary.
Greetings from the Crimson one's court
🔥🔥🔥🔥👽 💨
Greetings from Girona (Spain). Incredible music.
Dale gracias al Universo . Desde Costa Rica, aqui solo Trash o Chayane ...
One of the best shows of all time
Yo Adrian! Man o man what a great voice he has. I love the rich and powerful sound of his vocals.
Might be my favorite album ever.
The ConstruKction of Light: it's like it's never ending but ends before you know it.
Great version of KC. Miss seeing Bruford play, but Pat is right there! Excellent snare sound.
I was going to say What a snare sound.And the time.I agree,I miss Bill too but this man is great too.
Rock Progressif génial merci l'artiste
Это самый лучший концерт за всю историю "Кримсонов", поверьте мне. Здесь Фрипп соТоварищи выложились на полную катушку. Их музыка пусть и серьёзна порой, но заводит сердца слушателей и поднимает боевой дух.
За вокал Эдриана Белу 👍👍👍!
Un grupo que ha marcado la escena cultural inglesa, el grupo con mayor profundidad en la búsqueda de nuevas formas musicales desde la óptica del rock, más que Pink Floyd, más que Yes. Algunas veces a lindado con el jazz, algunas otras veces con la música electrónica experimental, bajo un sello muy característico recreado bajo la conducción de Robert Fripp, el viejo Robert Fripp, iconoclasta, experimental, arriesgado al igual que todos los grandes músicos que integraron las diversas formaciones de este King histórico y bellamente raro.
Beautifully said
Thank you
Que buen comentario ...........gracias a este tipo de rock progresivo, podremos decir claramente que los nuevos generos de la musica electronica como el psychedelic trances son influencia de esta gran musica.......y de estos grandes musicos
Fripp es tan diferente que hasta vino a México a tocar en el Salón Los Ángeles, templo de la música tropical, salsera, caribeña, etc. Que también me gusta. Su concepto de Crafty Guitar es otro nivel.
@@martinestrada3155 a huevo
No imaginaba que está diversas de sonidos pudieran ser creados por una banda,king crimson de verdad fue una revelación para mí.
The audio quality and the mixing are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
Спасибо. Этот концерт буду любить пока дышу... Легло на сердце чудо❤
Fripp, in the Gurdjieff "tradition" is trying to "awaken" the people in the audience. it is all a huge "prayer."
Righteous
@johnebgood108 : Incoming Astralgram...from the desk of "A Thousand Suns": Only a true connoisseur of the
entity, known as Robert Fripp,would know about his "studies "of Russian mystic Gurdjieff.Your explanation is an eloquent description of the ritual of a King Crimson "spectacle". OM......................live your life.....................end transmission.🔮✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
E X A C T L Y !! Finally ,someone says it as it is and has been.
😅😅😅😅😅😅ш😅@@simonbradshaw9573
در اینجا شرارت به خواب می رود، زیرا تبدیل به همان چیزی شده اند که آرزوی آن را داشتند
Gorgious. So beautiful, smart and spiritual. We swim in the middle of pure music
Immortal. This video will live forever :)
I can't stop smiling.. this band is a pure delight :D
Brilliant thanks 😊 so much ❤😅
as i listen to the introscape, this is brilliantly done. he sends the notes out exactly where they belong, as beautiful as nature, but from the hands of a man. then all broke loose....
They were last heard, after leaving our Solar System, approaching Betelgeuse in the Orion constellation 🌌 ! (and yes, I know sound waves can’t travel in a vacuum but it’s a lovely thought 😃).
Артем спасибо, буду еще и смотреть.,✌✌❤❤
Category: Sports? Yes, I guess so! Playing this would have to be a sport!
I saw this same concert played in Malaga Spain..... and its still one of the very best concerts I've seen. Technically it was a perfect wall of sound. Mind you, I can understand some ppl not being able to handle Mr Fripp's brilliance.
Maynard James Keenan of Tool said King Crimson are their inspiration.
said "everything we know we learned from king crimson, just don't tell them" something like that, paraphrase. to which fripp responded: "i don't hear it". lmfao... they are on the next level, f'n with us in the most beautiful way. pure gold, high art.
And Genesis. Maynard is a little mini Peter Gabriel.
Absolutely wonderful !!! Thank you very very much for posting.
King Crimson is one of the greatest out there the reproduction of their songs it's like unbelievable most people don't understand how hard it is to reproduce the sound that's in a song it may be 30 years old let alone it's a real sound of the original when it was made any other musician tried any of this stuff that is Kick-Ass would fall on there faces sour'ly thanks for the post
Pat, your long sentence is work of genius as well! You could not have expressed it better , but low marks for punctuation. Hi marks for expression :):):):
Enchanting, outstanding 👏 my favorite guitar players/ musicians/composers.
At age 16, around 1973, I saw them at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC ; Bill Buford was front & center. I've never been the same since. Who needs drugs ?
Thanks for makin' me cry tears of joy (ie.). Been following FRIPP since his collaboration with Gregg Lake of the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. That was back in 1969 ; the original lineup of the "Crimson Kings" !
This is musical superiority.
Jimmy Sinclair Si, KING CRIMSON!!!
Brilliant as always! Awesome presentation. I love those dual guitar solos... simply amazing...
Fripp always pauses, before a concert, and looks at everyone in the audience, and prays for them. the audience here got impatient. he always does that.
and kisses his Gibson
His Fernandez!
Who’s gonna stare down Robert Fripp ? 😂 He’ll set his wife on you. LOL !
@@douglasarthur2673 hope so!
Adrian’s solo in Level 5 is so deep it comes straight from his liver. It even makes Fripp smile.
How on earth do they remember all this music?
It's their job... The same way a mathematics teacher can teach to children or an electrician can remember how to rewire a complex bit of equipment... The members of bands such as King Crimson, Yes , Weather Report etc. always amazed me just as you mentioned but they have all honed their skills together and listened to what each other member is bringing and if the synchronicity is right between them you end up with something as marvellous as this... An absolute joy.
Because they are geniuses. All of them.
practice.
PraKctice PraKctice PraKctice

This music is so able to transcend strait into my heart and mood. With all the human emotions it reaches out to . . . still moves me after all the times I've listened to it.
I'm being very thankfull to all of KC's players and performers.
Awesome band . I enjoyed a concert in summer 2017 in Mexico City , they sound really Good alive.
WONDERFUL! Thanks!
Pat Mastelotto. The drums dede 1994. Antes era o great Bill" Bruford, foi baterista do Yes, King Crimson, UK e Genesis, entre outros conjuntos de rock progressivo. Bill Bruford trouxe para o rock novos rudimentos, técnicas orquestrais e de jazz.
Makes me want to own everything this band recorded. Outstanding.
Удачи Вам, друг! 🍀
Love it, watched this vid a dozen or more times. Killer as always. Always longing to hear Bruford on this stuff, his snare is so recognizable, his random hits that fit in the most crazy perfect way like dynamic yet unpredictable mathematics
Who else could get away with using a milk maid's bucket for a snare drum and make it sound so good?
When Bill joined Crimson, Fripp told him :"Play the drums like you don't know how to play the drums".
I love the new movement of Lark’s Tongues.
The audio on this performance is spectacularly good.
La mejor version de ProzaKc Blues que he escuchado!!
ooooh! What a lovely concert vid! And what lovely comments form so many smart viewers! This band proves that God (if u believe in a god) loves us!
I was there. It was wonderful
Step into the Light Mr. Fripp!
King Crimson featuring Larry Fine on vocals and guitar!
+Darrylizer1 That's terribly, but obviously, hilarious :-)
Mad hatter lost his hat😜🤘🤘
WOW!!! Full of energy! An excellent performance!!!
De otro mundo, arte en estado puro ! KING CRIMSON !!!!
35:32 "Silence is an echo of a presence of God."
Avec l'âge je me suis tourné presque exclusivement vers le jazz, mais King Krimson reste pour moi une référence absolue. Frip est un génie.
Que pensez-vous des deux premiers albums de Magma cher Bruno ? L'un des seuls groupes qui peut lui être comparé à l'évidence
@@philippecirse4872 j'ai aussi longtemps suivi magma dans ma jeunesse et les ai vu plusieurs fois en concert.
Christian Vander est absolument exceptionnel même s'il est un peu fou.
J'ai adoré le chanteur Klaus Blasquiz, mais je ne sais pas ce qu'il est devenu, mise à part qu'il signait des articles dans la revue "vidéo broadcast" .
Mes 3 albums préférés de magma restent mechanik destructiw kommandöh, Üdü Wüdü et le double live kobaïa de leur jeunesse.
Il ne faut pas oublier que ce groupe a accueilli des musiciens à l'époque exceptionnels et qui le sont restés comme janick Top qui a d'ailleurs composé de des albums cités plus haut) un des meilleurs bassistes mondiaux, et Didier Lokwood qui est devenu un violoniste de jazz mondialement connu, mais qui nous a malheureusement quitter trop tôt.
Je recommande vivement à tous d'aller écouter ce groupe totalement hors norme...
Thanks for uploading this!

+Flypool Thanks a lot dude. Really...
+Flypool *advise me (advice is a noun).
+Karl Ertunc That's what he wrote. No? Or, was that his edit?
+spookybaba It's ok now. But also it's better to say, 'if there is a mistake' or if there are any mistakes'. Sorry for being a 'grammar Nazi'.
+spookybaba I wrote "advice", so I have edited the message after the Karl observation. Thanks about it, my english sucks hard, it's not my natal language :)
I saw this tour at a suburban club 5 minutes from my house - surprised that they would be booked out in Agoura Hills. Small venue, and man oh man did they pack a punch. Fripp and his collective NEVER sat still...
This is music for the thinking man. Whole tone scales, wild key changes, complex rhythms, madcap genius lyrics, - no visceral blues here - and a level of musical mastery that most players can't even dream of.
Crimson..Grandes maestros del Rock Progresivo..
That's about as Crimson as it gets - remarkably brilliant soundscape. The wind does not hear, but I do.
It makes me happy to see Robert happy. He has found his guitar mate in Adrian.
Jaw dropping concert!!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
"... a fifth of Jack & a bottle of Prozac!" So brill Mr. Belew.🌠
Strange and beautiful music. King Crimson RULES!!!
Excelent!! THANK'S YOU....VERY MUCH . .....atte. from Atacama Desert....🎸🎸🎸🎼🎶🎵
the intro is so good
ça fait un petit moment que je n'ai pas écouter cette période et là je me tape ce live ... bon sang que ça fait du bien de temps en temps ... la perfection, l'excellence, toujours aussi indescriptible de ce groupe immense quelle que soit la période depuis 1969... impossible de décrocher ... à peu près le même concert la même année au Nikaïa de Nice mais on avait eu droit à "Red" en final ... ;)
I noticed that Adrian Belew was sitting on a stool while playing "Dangerous Curves." What kind of rock star guitarist plays while seated???
+John D.Reno the best kind. how about Fripp?
Stevie ray vaughan....
Oleg Kramer
Precisely.
he may have bad hips or knees..
I started this thread as a joke. Fripp plays while seated because he believes that this gives him greater control of his instrument. Hard to argue with that when you hear him play.
Mike Giles, Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto are the three drummers that really suited King Crimson and embraced what they were about. I'm really glad that Mastelotto is still hanging around and that Tony Levin and Mel Collins are back. Shame about Trey Gunn and Adrian Belew though.
Honestly this current line-up is disappointing. Instead of rebranding the whole style of King Crimson like all the previous bands have, the current line-up just seem like a Greatest hits band, which is not what Crimson is about. They play well sure but Jakko is less than a shadow compared to Belew or Wetton
Jakko is a joke, who was he before he joined KC? how many solo albums does he have? what has he done? Nothing, he is a nobody. On the other hand, Adrian Belew had a great career before KC.. Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads..
GG DD Dude he really is a fantastic singer and guitarist. His vocal performance on Starless is phenomenal.
Cesarini....Have you seen'em live yet ? If you had I don't believe you'd have written that comment
GG DD he’s actually pretty good. Definitely better the Burrel or Haskell.
Bought this on a DVD when released. Great show. Saw the Chicago stop at the Park West. Epic.
Prog Rock LIVES!! And happily ever after!
MASTER FRIP, toujours entouré des musiciens vertueux .
Really great music they play! I'm still impressed, thow it's not the same old 'dinosaurs' of art rock as they used to be before. Absolutely genious.
Mind Blowing is an understatement👽
Enormes, enormes, enormes. Larga vida al rey Crimson!
Genius is just about right ? I've opened something up at 65 years of age that I had known since I was a mid teen and this music is seriously brilliant ! I've mates that have been around longer ,strange as it is but these are phenomenal yet people that's still alive can relate 2 a band that's hardly known 2 the populists of disregarded rock!
