      The current singer murdered a few songs that Adrian owned.
      I really was disappointed that neither Belew or Bruford were on this 50th anniversary tour.
      Still loved the show.

      Considering he played with Bowie, Zappa, and Talking Heads, helped transform King Crimson into a new wave/prog rock hybrid, released a solo album entitled "Lone Rhino", and later formed a band called The Bears, I would say your assessment of his humor and zany antics is spot on.

      Astute observation. And only one a tuned-in musician would recognize. It's no easy feat to direct a band as skillfully as Fripp does so ostensibly effortlessly. Fripp appears to be playing mechanically, but his ears are finely tuned to listen for the slightest variation of when to play a microsecond ahead or behind the beat. Not an easy thing for even highly skilled musicians to do.

Todd knows I have great taste in music. I have a few really good photos of that amazing night. Adrian came in the bar at the hotel and wanted a White Russian. I guess they couldn't make him one. The next time I see him, I'm bringing him a huge thermos full. 🤪

We've been on the same stage together, playing bass, and he's light-years ahead of everyone on that instrument. He's doing things that other bassists haven't even thought of. We ran into each other several years ago, and he asked me if I was still playing bass. When I told him "No", he asked why. I told him "I've seen you and that's as good as it gets."

When he realized what it was, he gave a half hearted "Oh" Quite rude and unfriendly. I wished I hadn't bothered. Very disappointing.

      Hi@@tunguskalumberjack9987thanks for the kind words. While Tony and I are acquainted, please don't think that we're great pals, sitting around shooting the breeze. He knows me when we meet, but we don't meet very often. I did get to chat with him at a local appearance in January, but with his schedule, meetings are few and far between. What I can tell you, is that he's very down-to-earth and approachable. I've seen some people complain that he blew them off, but I don't know the circumstances of the meeting, so I can't address them. I've always found him to be friendly (and believe it or not, a bit shy) and happy. I don't have to tell you about his talent, that always shines through. I don't know where you live, but if it's in the eastern U.S., watch for Tony and his brother Pete to appear in a little quartet called "The Levin Brothers". They usually play small venues with an intimate audience. It's more jazz/new age jazz-oriented and they're great. They even throw in "Sleepless" from King Crimson. They're very wide-ranged and enjoyable. The best part is that they tour in a van, just to keep themselves in touch with their past. So I hope I didn't give the wrong impression about our friendship. He's a great guy and a great talent and I try to see him whenever he's appearing near me. Best wishes and enjoy the music.

      Por fin "alguien" que menciona la sublime "Sheltering Sky", un verdadero mantra, posiblemente la canción más elevada de todos los tiempos, Bravo Susana!

    Can't imagine a better lineup for a truly revolutionary music band! Unsurpassed! Knocked me down the first time I heard them!

      Oledengamle they were perfect before! Crimson is ever evolving. They always did and they always will.

      jbognap you can’t really have a favorite. I guess I liked there beginning albums the best for a while, then I jumped to the 90’s shit and now the 80’s albums and frame by frame is just hitting me so hard in the face...... I’d say disciplined (extended) is their most consistent and musical rule obedient album and I love every second of every song on there. Arguments, agreements, banter, bicker, chatter, chit chat, conversation, dialog, diatribe, excitement, ELEPHANTS!!!
