  What a drums!! February 20, 2012
Written by TheWinkler
My grandfather should be 105 by now but he died at 97. He was an excellent musician that could have been professional, but his family forced him to be an architect.
He founded the first Jazz orchestra in Barcelona in 1927, called Tribu Universitaria and played sax (imported from the US as there were no saxes in Europe then) and violin, among other instruments.
When he come home, I always played him some of my favourite prog music, he quite liked some of it, other bored him to death. Dispite his violin expertise, he never enjoyed David Cross playing i.e.
But I still remember the first time I played In the Court of the Crimson King to him. After only 20 seconds of playing his face litghtened and he exclamed in his Spanish jazzy language: Qué "drums"!!!! (What a drum player!!!!).
Thank you Alex, for bringing this back to my mind. Dispite what Mr. Fripp says, I think that Michaels playing in 21st, ITCOCK and Epitaph, can’t get any better.

I remember the two nights at the Marquee very well indeed as it was my first Robert Fripp related concert. My recollections of the banter include several vociferous requests from an inspired raconteur/punter, for Fripp to play some Read more

This show was the first concert recording I had heard from this era. In fact, I had gotten a hold of this recording before I had listened to “Lizard”, so to me, this version of “Cirkus” was the first Read more

I would exchange all these songs to hear Red from this gig though :) Very unfortunate that it is not available.

Who’da thought The Beast could be this soulful? You can see where a completed piece such as this could have ended up in this version’s ouevre. Shame there isn’t more.

Interesting and unique Mon., May 28, 2012
Posted by: WhiskeyVengeance
I so wish this were longer than a minute. I’ve never heard Fripp play quite like this, and I like it! Has a Stax/Volt flavor but with the fast jazz flourishes characteristic of Fripp’s playing during this time Read more
