I hope you get to meet some jatraqueros someday soon. They're just as cool in real life! (so far as I know )

Eslaine, I have a Bears CD, but I haven't had the chance to catch them live. I have traveled to Nashville/Chicago and West Palm Fla to see KC until they finally played in NC for the first time in over 30 years. Seeing Crimso play at the Orange Peel in Asheville was a dream come true. Great venue.

Fun! They are amazing to see perform, going from a complete improv into a tight off-time song, and back. They've done things live that no one else I've seen have done.
Do you visit Discipline Global Mobile?

Yes, I am been on the DGM web. I must admit that when it comes to King Crimson, I can be a bit of a geek. Is that allowed around here?
I would have loved to have seen them back in the 70's Lark's era. At least many of those shows are available on CD. Posts: 115 | Registered: Aug 2003

Doesn't date you.. just says that you had better taste than me during the eighties. At that time, the concerts I was attending were Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, 38 Special, and Eddie Money.
I love the Discipline era Crimso. Thela Hun Ginjeet is my favorite tune. I was so glad when they played that in Nashville the first time I saw them.

"...'n he was holding a gun against me...."
Actually, my interest in KC started in the 80's incarnation. I had been following Fripp's solo career, and in the vinyl on Exposure is etched "The next step is discipline".
Once I bought Discipline, I was hooked by polyrythym and tight progressions. I have always liked strange time signatures. I was amazed when he brought Adrian Belew with him. Belew had been brought in as a hired gun on both Bowie's Heroes tour and with Talking Heads.
To watch the two duel on stage is amazing. They feed on each other, often taking turns on the rythym, while the other pulled an amazing, completely unheard-of-before solo off.
They are/were/will be awesome. What a great SN you've chosen.
