  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 too am a fellow musician and it’s interesting to hear how other musicians develope their pieces by working one on one.

I’m more familiar with the 1970 to 1974 version of King Crimson than I am with this line up but I bought this CD based on what I read about the show and I must say I’m quite Read more

Sounds REALLLY good. Like this version better w/o vocals. Nothing against Belew as I’ve never understood the people who question his part in the band at all. I just prefer instrumental music Read more

This piece has just the right amount of variation from the finished music track to make it essential. Perhaps this could have been performed on stage sans vocals for simplicity’s sake a la Read more

For Peter's Sake Sun., Aug 2, 2009

Wonderful tidbit of KC, just wondering what Peter Sinfield would say? The lyrics to his songs are astonishing to me, the vocals wonderfully soft if anyone knows what his top choice for vocals, would be interesting to Read more

Surprisingly rich and rewarding Tue., Jul 7, 2009
Posted by: kevred
I say "surprisingly" not because I expect these fellows to underachieve, but because I’ve seen track listings very similar to this for many years now. So, with some of the other mixed reviews in mind, I felt a little trepidation Read more
