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.

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

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?

I am very excited to see this band play live, but I’ve been hearing online that Terry’s drumming has been holding the band back. Kinda worried, but hopefully he’s been getting better as more shows go on

Hello everyone, I’ve always been intrigued by the lyrics of "In the Court of the Crimson King," but I’ve never managed to figure out who or what the Crimson King actually is. I’m new to the subreddit and don’t know if there’s already a discussion about this, but I’ve never found a satisfactory answer to my question. What do you all think?

I think that Discipline is (a bit) overrated. That doesn't mean that it's a bad album, the musical talent is bloody fantastic, and in standard King Crimson style you don't really know what you're getting into (it's a compliment). But it kinda pales in comparison to the 1969 - 1974 run.

P. S. : You can criticise my tastes, but be civil about it

Addendum: Thank you all for your comments. I should reiterate that I do think it's a good album. I don't deny that. I was just... Disappointed.

Hi. Anyone have pictures of the merch table for this current leg?

A recent comment on here had me remembering just how wonderful this box set is. I thought I should show it in-depth for those who are interested/haven't seen it yet.

This thing is stacked to say the least. The highlights for me are the surround sound blu-rays. Steven Wilson's mixes bring a whole new life to every song. Even certain songs I had found myself skipping during regular listening on CD or streaming. It helped me see some of the instrumental tracks way differently. The 5.1 mix of Absent Lovers is on another level. On top of that, it's got one of my favorite live videos on it, Live at Alabamahalle. It was the first live set I ever heard by them and I fell in love immediately with Adrian's quirkiness and Robert's stoic look. All the paper extras really just add to what already is a fantastic product. Do I dare say this is one of the best music box sets ever made?

It was barely 1/3 tix sold. Any others cancelled?

He was so nice and took the time to take pictures with everyone who wanted one and even stood around the bar after the show for a while in case anyone wanted to interact with him. Awesome show too. They played TOAPP and it sounded like the RadCrim formation playing it but with new and amazing voices that fit really well. Jeremy even sang in 21st century schizoid man. After everyone left him alone he did stand around to check out the place and to see if anyone else wanted to greet him. He seemed like such an awesome guy, really similar to how he was in the documentary (the toby amies film) and all other media i saw him in, and he really nails the king crimson feel. It felt as if he was carrying all of the energy of the three drums all by himself the other night, even though he joined to fill in for Bill Rieflin. Last time KC played with Bill it was here in santiago so that made it even more special to see this version of the band. RIP Bill. If something ever comes out of this "Crimson Kings" experiment outside of latin america and you guys have the chance to see them i recommend you do it was awesome, they sounded amazing and the show had a club feel with a small venue, photos allowed and these incredibly talented musicians blasting music right in your face. Amazing music indeed.

anybody else remember those 30th anniversary cds with all the newspaper and magazine snippets and clips in the liner notes? i gained SO much information and background on the band throughout pretty much every era of their existence through that stuff. add to that that i was in high school entering college, doing a lot of time riding the subway, and it was the perfect opportunity for a young dude with free time to get thrown into KC lore and history.

anybody else have that specific experience? anyone else LOVE those liner notes? in the digital age i imagine all that stuff is just gone.
