KC Radio
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Apr 30, 2013
My thanks to Andy Fox who spotted a reference to KC on BBC Radio 4 yesterday. "King Crimson reference on ’The 3rd Degree’, The Radio 4 quiz where a team of three University students take on a team of three of their professors. If you can’t wait for the Crimson question, it gets asked 13 minutes in to the podcast. The show is available to listen to for 7 days from the 29th April 2013 although it may be available to UK listeners only.

Frippertronics 83 Tour Bundle
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Fri., Apr 26, 2013
In March 1983, two months after the failed attempt to record the third King Crimson album in Champaign-Urbana, Fripp was back in America and Canada as a solo artist on The Music System Tour. There are now 22 of those shows available for downloading individually or as a bundle. The tour kicked off in San Diego and finished in Toronto.

Three shows from this tour have previously been available and if you have already bought them but would like to take advantage of the bundle's cost-effective bulk buy, you'll be offered a free show of your choice from the rest of the DGMLive archive.

Please note that due to a glitch the show on the 15th is not currently downloadable but will be automatically forwarded to those purchasing the bundle.
