    I've caught every KC tour since Nov.7th, 1969 at the Kinetic Playground, Chicago, IL,
    I caught the Discipline tour Nov.13 th '81 at the Agora in Atlanta driving from Orlando Fl
    This was the first tour after KC, (Fripp and Bruford) had taken a 7 year hiatus ...
    (7 hr drive after a 7 year wait :- )
    This past July, I caught their show once again in Atlanta, this time only a 3 hour drive
    from where I've retired in N Carolina. Sadly I believe this will be Crimson's last tour.
    Elephant Talk a famously difficult piece from a band famously fond of difficult pieces.
    Congrats YOU ALL NAILED IT ! !!! !

    This turned into a very pleasant surprise. The lead guitar was maybe a tiny tiny bit off near the beginning, but came good and then some. The bass was spot on, but it was the vocal that really surprised me. Such a clean and clear vocal. I would love to hear him sing some other stuff.

    • @TrevorDennis100

If you guys were playing in a venue full of folks in the know, they'd still be clapping. You guys didn't play an homage to King Crimson, you nailed Elephant Talk. BRAVO!!!!! Buy your sound man a beer, the snare was perfect, the mix was on the same level as the musicianship. Completely blown away ( drummer of 40 years and Crimson fanatic)

We were so happy over here when Crimson reincarnated, and this cover emits such warm vibrations. The athmosphere around it - the garden, soft rainy weather, around 30 people in the audience, the playfulness, incredible sound - is so cool. Perfect frame for super musicianship, thank you.

    Dang! I have never ever seen mere human beings attempt this song. You hit this one out of the park! It takes a whole lot of Discipline to master that crazy groove. Then you added value and made it your own! If I were at your gig I'd have been clapping and whooping like a teen at a Beatles concert. When I hear supremely talented musicians like you all playing for free for almost no audience in someone's front yard, I feel satisfied to have played music all my life and never made a dime as a professional musician. 'Cause if guys like you are being this off-the-charts brilliant in complete obscurity then I can feel good about my own musical obscurity. And I will never be able to touch this song, so I'm glad our world has you guys in it to take charge and inspire the next generation. Rock on!
