To say Robert Fripp is ahead of his time the very definition of understatement. People today are still struggling to fully get their heads around what he was doing fifty years ago. I've had the pleasure of seeing King Crimson three times between 2001 and 2016. The first time, they opened for Tool at Red Rocks. I was so floored by them that I didn't think I could survive Tool. My entire band that I was in at the time went to that show. We were sat in the center just in front of the sound booth. About 10 minutes in, the bass player leaned over and asked "what do you think?". I just pushed him away and said "not now Rance, I'm seeing God!" I bring up the sound booth, because we also noticed that Tool was taking in the show from behind the Front of House desk just as astonished as the rest of us.

I really think Michael Giles is one of the most underrated drummers of this age. Like his dynamic ability through In the court of the crimson king is impressive.

King Crimson was the last show I took my late father to. He raised me on ELP and King Crimson.

Here's what happened. I was home sick from high school in 1982. My mom went grocery shopping and picked up an issue of a magazine called Music & Sound Output at the supermarket, thinking that it looked like something that might cheer me up. Inside was an article by a fellow named Michael Shore, about a band I'd never heard of, King Crimson. Not only had they recently released an album called Discipline, they'd already had an illustrious decade+ career behind them that was new to me. I bought the Discipline album and as a guitar playing nerd became obsessed with working out Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew's interlocking guitar parts. Long story short, I finally showed up for three of Fripp's guitar seminars in Spain, the US and Argentina, and established a nourishing musical practice that continues today.

As a fan and expert on KC, I have to say your research was TOP Kudos to you and the team. I can't wait for volume two.

Starless was the music looping in my wife's head when she was in labor with our first child for 30 hours. Just shows how ingrained KC is in our lives. Catch the kids now pretty much grown up whistling various Crimson melodies without knowing what they are.

Red is one of my all time favorite albums. As a big prog fan, it really is the pinnacle of the “Rock” side of progressive. You can hear the direct influence in some of 80s and 90s rock when they get really angry!

In the Court of the Crimson King is my most favorite album of all time.
I am luck to have 2 copies on vinyl, 1 signed for me by Greg Lake.

[raptor_guy]

So glad to see you guys cover KC. Some of the best, well-performed, and most experimental music of all time.

Can’t wait to hear you talk about Discipline!

Hi Warren, being a German historian I am really admiring your skills with regards to condensating the complexe history of King Crimson and presenting it very intelligibly. Congratulation, it is a very good and informative broadcast for any Crimson fan. By the way, I strongly recommend Robert Fripp´s humorous and for every guitarist very interesting Youtube channel: Robert at home.

I absolutely love King Crimson. The trilogy from Larks' to Red is on regular rotation in my life. One of the most inventive, captivating groups to ever exist.

[neal_laugman]

Outstanding job! "In the Court" was One of my first if not my first album in 1969. I bought it in K-Mart just because I thought the cover was the coolest. Little did I realize this album would push me into prog/symphonic rock. (No one knew what to call this genre back then ... LOL)

[ericbrunel]

King Crimson, a.k.a, your favourite band's favourite band. 😉 Never been that much into their very early stuff, but from the Bruford/Wetton period up until today, this band has been hugely influential for me. Thanks for covering them up, can't wait for part 2!

[mrnelsonius]

Thank you for doing this!! King Crimson transcends generations. I wasn’t even born yet when these records were made but they are some of *the* most important albums in my musical development and life. As I toil in the modern music industry KC still stand as a beacon of hope that truly adventurous music can be appreciated and recognized 🙏

[davidvasquez]

The only other band that changed music imo is Emerson Lake & Palmer.Which sort of figures since Greg played a big part of ITCOTKC. Emersons genius musicianship AND live performances & Palmers incredible drumming blew me away. There are other prog rock giants like YES who deserve a place at the top of this short list.Thank you so much for all the hard work & research that obviously went into this documentary.

[peterg.bassist]

Brilliant. I saw King Crimson perform their Larks Tongues in Aspic tour LIVE in Detroit in '73. They were just phenominal.

[furiobisotti]

This is exactly what I want to see. Intelligent and skilled guy talking about my favourite band. Simply marvelous

[dmaster]

I became madly obsessed with the song Starless when I first heard it. I feel terribly sorry for all the people I forced to sit through the whole thing 😅

[andybaumbrooklyn]

Thank you for shining the light on Crimson. Their début album literally blew our hair back when we heard it in the fall of '69.
For some of us, Crimson was our first concert experience: U.S. Thanksgiving night, 1971 at the New York Academy of Music. It was absolutely unforgettable.

November 25, 1971
Headliner: Procol Harum
2nd billing: King Crimson (material from first 3 LPs, plus a preview of "Islands")
Opening act: Yes (first tour with Rick Wakeman)

When Crimson returned to the NY Academy in 1973 we were, once again, in attendance:

April 28, 1973

The Strawbs

A friend of mine, keen of Argentinian folklore, had a musical bar in uptown Barcelona, with a comfy basement for live performances. One Sunday evening a guy came along, fresh from London. He was carrying a record he had purchased there and passed it on the sound system. Immediately I experienced a mind blowing an illuminating experience, a new musical universe was deploying for me. It was no other than ‘In the court of the Crimson King’. Years after I enjoyed a live King Crimson concert with Brufford on drums, who expanded my personal drumming for ever. Much more years after I enjoyed a Fripp’s live concert, this time with his ‘League of Crafted Guitarists’, for which I e-mailed Fripp with my congratulations and got a kind answer from the Master himself.
I fully agree with this video contents about King Crimson’s seminal work on the magic universe of MUSIC.
