Gunn's new course
The Financial Times went to take a look at King Crimson’s first night at the Hackney Empire and were impressed by what they saw and heard. Read all about it here.
Mike Dickson who was one of the forces behind the first King Crimson message board in the early days of the internet, Elephant Talk, is giving away an album of classical music performed on his vintage mellotrons.
My thanks to Sean Hewitt for spotting this mistake about King Crimson's stick player celebrating his 70th birthday. Of course, TLev has a little way to go before blowing out that many candles.
Please note that any sites popping up around the internet, particularly on Youtube, claiming to give access to pro-shoot video and audio streaming of King Crimson on tour are fake.
As the title of this news item cunningly suggests, it was indeed 37 years ago today that Boz, Mel, Ian and Bob entertained the punters in Denver.

Congratulations to Sarah Metivier who wins herself a copy of David Sylvian’s latest ambient epic, When Loud Weather Buffeted Noashima. Sarah, along with a 100 or so other people, was able to tell me that the name of the Fripp collaborator who recently appeared on Steve Jansen’s forthcoming album, Slope, was non other than Theo Travis.
A top level investigation has been called following the link from this site to a photograph purporting to be that of Robert Fist, guitarist with progrock demigods, King Grimace.
My thanks to DKschmooze for letting me know that Krimson News are hosting an interview with John Wetton. Talking from his home in Bournemouth, John discusses his career with DJ John Patten including a couple of words about KC as well as Asia and the making of his solo album, Rock Of Faith..
No, not the massed ranks of a hopeful England football raised in manful song squad circa 1970 but an accurate description of Robert's whereabouts in his updated diary..
