  KC and Tool in Portland July 18, 2012
Written by sqeele
The staff at the Schnitzer concert hall were really frightened. They were not used to Toolfan, who is a little too close to Insane Clown Posse Fan for comfort. There was a long backup at the metal detectors, because EVERYONE was setting them off with the studs in their jackets or whatever else they were wearing. My girl couldn’t get in until she removed her jewelry. We had to take it back to the car.
As a result, the Crims were dangerously curving before we even got in. It was hard to hear the pianissimo at the beginning because of the insane clowns who were tromping down the aisles, happy to gain entrance to the theater in Portland where the symphony plays.
Crimson’s 60-minute set was a blistering salvo. They hit it out of the park.
Tool was clearly inspired. Gunn, Mastelotto, and Fripp sat in where they could.
Gratitude to Trey Gunn. This show was a peak experience in my life. Thanks Trey.

Great sound Mon., May 6, 2013

I love the Frippertronics of course, but the lecture and Q&A were excellent. A clear, cogent, honest explanation of his development as a guitarist, for one thing. The demo of the use of the fuzz box to overcome the "feebleness" Read more

It’s a curious phenomenom in modern artistic endeavor. In an age when performers and self-proclaimed artists alike take measures to "close the distance" between themselves and the audience, such efforts are often disingenuous and Read more

Love this German tour... Sat., Apr 13, 2013
Posted by: jeffoaster
The concerts from the German leg of Crimso’s ’74 tour are all top notch, and all bring something special to the table. There are some interesting nuances to this show. There is nothing particularly special about the opening improv and Read more

It’s hard for me to imagine booing this music. This is sublime Soundscaping. Repeated listenings have revealed a beauty that is ineffable.
