A sublime performance
The 5th of November 2016 was my first King Crimson concert. By that time, I have been a Crimhead for nearly 7 years. This was my first chance to see them live. Needless to say, I was dying of trepidation. Prior to this I have just purchased Radical Action, so I was in complete frenzy. After driving for more than 5 hours, we arrived at Milan. It was still early so we went to have a drink. Finally, 20.30 came and we entered the theater. It is a marvelous place, and the thought of hearing my dream band in THIS place for the first time was simply overwhelming. And then they came....
Words cannot describe what I felt as I heard this band live for the first time, but I will say this: when Robert started Fracture I said to myself:"Ok, I heard Fracture, now I can go home". The concert was pure joy, elegance, virtuosity and precision. I will never forget the 5th November of 2016 as it marks the opening of a new chapter in my life. I could describe how each song was performed, but I find that pointless, as I could not do the songs justice. But I will say one more thing. When Gavin went crazy during his Schizoid drum solo and Robert started shaking with quiet laughter, I thought I had seen it all. Thank you King Crimson!
