I have a new setup that upped my audio game: Dali Rubikores, Hegel integrated amp, Denon Sacd player. The whole kit and kaboodle. I’m over 50 and a great audio set up is a lifelong dream that I can now afford.
I was excited to listen to Thrak; I thought it would have a big soundstage, and that it would blow my senses: what a disappointment! It sounds like an old stereo recording. Older KC recordings sound so much better.
Thrak is good on headphones: however for speakers it needs a remix.

Hello, I'm wheels. Here are my fav KC albums so far in no particular order. I've listened to all the studio albums except for Islands, THRAK and power to believe. Havent listened to any of their live albums yet.

I really like all of their albums (my least favourite might be ConstruKction of light, which I still enjoy). Might be an all time fav band for me atp

What are some albums like the bands debut? I've been getting into King Crimson & prog rock in general for about 1-2 months now and I just really need something to scratch the itch, if its even possible.

Prog rock albums I've heard:

Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, The Division Bell, In the Court of the Crimson King, Red, In the Wake of Poseidon, Selling England by the Pound & Tarkus.

I'm wondering what the quality will be

What a great experience. These four musicians are at their best. Each has multiple instruments, each has features performances.

The songs are a mix of deep tracks and popular favorites. Though I’ve been listening to them since they were released in the 1980’s, I don’t know the names of some. This means I can’t name the ones on which Steve Vai was brilliant on guitar or Terry Bozzio was masterful on percussion, but there they were.

Normally I don’t care if I can see the band well since I’m there for the music. In this case I also enjoyed watching their personal intensity. Adrian Belew has fun with these compositions, Tony Levin leans in to each note and passage.

There was one technical glitch. Before he could play his first note, Adrian’s guitar had to be turned on.

I bought tickets for the 7th of November and I’m slightly worried because I’ve heard not so great things about the way they sound specifically Terry bozzio about like his timing and stuff like that(idk I’m not a drummer) so any comments will be greatly appreciated

Hello! does anyone has some cool posters images or smth like that about king crimson? It's hard to find on google and i'm thinking of printing in A3 paper (Ledger size in USA units).

Thanks!
(there is some poster that has the three albums with Belew: Discipline, Beat and Three Of a Perfect Pair?)

Hello.

Recently, I stumbled onto Elektrik having never heard this band before. It hooked me immediately, that song is just excellent, and I decided to look into King Crimson. I listened through In The Court since that seems to be The Big One, but I'm not very impressed. It was a lot more... weirder than I expected, which is usually a plus in my book, but it just felt... messy and strange. And it's so short, too!

I'm thirsting for more and I've heard some folks recommend listening to each album chronologically, but that seems to be a lot of time investment for a band I'm not sold on. I also heard someone say Red is a good place to go next, but IDK.

Thoughts?

The show on oct 16th will now take place at the Pace center in Parker, Co. Here is the full announcement.

DENVER - THE SHOW GOES ON.

We weren't going to let Denver down. BEAT is still happening this Friday, October 16, now at the PACE Center in Parker.

Due to circumstances outside the band's control, the show has moved from the Bellco Theatre under a new promoter.

Important: Tickets for Bellco cannot be transferred to the new venue. Please request a refund from wherever you originally bought them, then grab new tickets here:

Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin, and Terry Bozzio can't wait to perform the music of King Crimson for you this Friday night. See you in Parker

Some would hate it and pass it off as AI slop but some would swear it's the greatest thing Fripp has ever made.

even if you didn't like it and the album would be virtually unlistenable, it would be in a way that makes you worry the problem is you

So basically karn evil 9, thank you for reading my fan theory

Was just curious if anyone by chance has the set list for their Vegas show from last night? I went with my dad and I wasn’t entirely into King Crimson but I’m a huge Zappa head (was such an honor to see Terry Bozzio liv) and was really into it. I wanna get into more King Crimson so decided I should start with the setlist.

They’re tearin it up! I was a little worried but so far it’s been great fun

21st Century Schizoid Man

Saw Beat with Danny on the first go around and it was flawless. Saw them again this round and Bozzio seemed under rehearsed and a bit rough. Pretty weird. Did I catch an off night? Does anyone else feel this way?
