Looking forward to seeing The Crimson ProjeKct at Warsaw Palladium on 19th March.
Remember my old crazy mate Daz George having the 'Discipline'; 'Beat'; and 'Three of a Perfect Pair' King Crimson albums back in the early 1980s and not really knowing what to make of them back then. Despite this, several of the tracks have kind of magically stayed in my mental jukebox over the years, especially 'Frame By Frame' (below); 'Heartbeat'; and 'Three of a Perfect Pair'.
Actually, remember King Crimson doing this on the Old Grey Whistle Test at the time, and just finding it 'weird', but it must've been profoundly 'weird' to have stayed in my mental jukebox all these years.
Even though there will be no Robert Fripp, of course, I think it's great that Adrian Belew and Tony Levin are keeping the early 1980s King Crimson stuff alive so to say (doing 'Three of a Perfect Pair' below):
Only seen Robert Fripp once (with David Sylvian at Manchester Apollo in about 1992) which was amazing. From amongst the other parts of the King Crimson family tree, over the last few years, I've got to see John Wetton with Asia at Warsaw Stodoła and Tony Levin and John Wetton with UK at Warsaw Palladium; and also got to see the Giles brothers and Ian McDonald with the 21st Century Schizoid Band at the Canterbury Fayre some time in the early 2000s.
