King Crimson 1969 - Were You There?
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Nov 15, 2011
I am currently working on a revised and expanded edition of my biography of King Crimson. I'm interested in speaking to folks who saw the 1969 line-up during it's brief time on the road.

I'm especially keen to hear from anyone who saw them in the UK outside of London and would be interested in any memories from those who saw them during their American tour.

If you saw the band during this period please send me an email and we can take it from there.
