It Was 42 Years Ago Today...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Jan 13, 2011
King Crimson started rehearsing together in the basement of a London cafe 42 years ago today. According to Ian McDonald's diary at around 7.30pm, Dik, Pete, Bob and Greg called round to his flat to come and shift the 'tron to the new rehearsal rooms on the Fulham Palace Road. Once they'd set everything up, McDonald's diary also reveals the band had a blow until just after 10.00 p.m.

So raise a glass of bubbly in their honour. Also let us know what your favourite KC moment has been over the last 42 years. It could be on record or in concert. Drop us a line on the guest book.
