Rico Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Saw them 2 years ago in Philly, phenomenal show. One thing I did not care for though is that they kept the house lights on all night, only lowering them for Starless... wasted opportunity to improve the show IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW... going to hopefully hit the Orlando show. The combo is a little bizarre but Zappa is a fave and any version of KC works here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (49 years old) have never listened to KC and would be able to "point them out," if I was played every song they ever recorded. I have friends my age, however (all musicians), who love them. They're coming to my hometown, but I won't go. I do think it's cool that they're playing smaller arenas, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Fripp’s 3-minute one-take solo (I believe it was him) on Brian Eno’s Baby’s On Fire, a top 3 for me in pop/rock... always rated top-10 status on CFNY all time lists, the Genesis hit Supper’s Ready was the other prog hit that appealed to listeners in the 80s Edited March 11, 2020 by row_33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just got an alert Bill Rieflin passed away at 59. I was more familiar with his work in Ministry than King Crimson. He played in quite a range of bands. https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2020/music/news/bill-rieflin-drummer-ministry-rem-king-crimson-dies-dead-1203544112/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been worth it just for the drummers for me. Only percussionist I've seen live that was better than Gavin Harrison was Neil Peart.
