 Ya DID have to be there! August 23, 2008
Written by dacope
For my 18 year old son and me, this concert was a culmination of our pursuit of the Crimson King. This past year, we saw Pat with TU opening for Tool, Gavin with Porcupine Tree, Ade with his Power Trio (man, would I love to hear a whole show of them doing KC songs -- they ROCK!), and Tony with Liquid Tension Experiment. We even saw Fripp progeny California Guitar Trio. All that was left was to see the man behind the curtain, er, stack -- That Annoying Man Fripp. Yeah, this show has a few warts but it was still a great show nonetheless. KC music is always powerful and challenging and to hear it in a small venue with others who obviously appreciate it is a tremendous experience. Chatting with Luis from Venezuela and Bill from Salt Lake City about all sorts of music and meeting Sister Fripp was a great part of the concert experience. And anyone who has kids can tell you that being able to share and enjoy a special time like this with your children is one the best things about being a parent. My son and I traveled from Seattle for this show -- we had never been to Chicago and we had a blast! And thanks to DGM, now we have a wonderful momento.
