C&L's Late Night Music Club With King Crimson

By Logan Murphy Thursday Jan 28, 2010 8:00pm
Title: Elephant Talk/Thela Hun Ginjeet
Artist: King Crimson

A two-fer from the amazing King Crimson. Over nine and a half minutes of Prog heaven from 1981, these versions of Elephant Talk and Thela Hun Ginjeet show Crimson at peak performance. What a lineup!

King Crimson is THE BEST. PERIOD.

I saw that tour. It was freakin' AWESOME.

Speaking of King Crimson, it's the 40th anniversary of their first record, In The Court of the Crimson King. I bought the 40th anniversary edition, and it's amazing. Remastered NOT from the original master tape, but from the original multitrack (three 8 tracks sync'd) tapes. STUNNING. Simply Stunning.

And on top of it all, a guy named Andrew Keeling came out with a "Musical guide to In the Court of the Crimson King". I bought it on a whim, and I am VERY surprised and happy with it. A truly in-depth analysis of the record, both musically and sociologically.

Thank you for posting Crimson. More people need to listen to what they do. The stuff from the early 80s has Steve Reich written all over it, and Bruford is simply monstrous. The "Good Fairy" of music was upon them at that time...

Of course it was Robert on guitar on the original, not Adrian.

Saw the first US date of this tour!
Thu, 01/28/2010 - 20:32 — Burton Desque

Robert looks so YOUNG in this clip (he was, what, 35?!?!) I remember watching this (from "Fridays" on ABC) on a tiny TV in my dorm.

Still laugh about once meeting Fripp in a record store in Chicago.

Wouldn't know that?

I DO love Crash Kings
Thu, 01/28/2010 - 22:57 — calgarylady

Hey, are you their agent, Acting Patriotic? hehe

Thanks to all for the wonderful music this evening at the LNMC. Goodnight!

Very funny calgarylady
Thu, 01/28/2010 - 23:29 — Acting Patriotic

Na, I'm no agent, just a new and BIG fan who can't understand how these guys aren't all over the charts. I don't remember the last time I could play a CD start to finish and leave it on repeat.

Listen to the whole thing here: CRASH KINGS Homepage

I promise I'll lay off and only post them when appropriate. But if I ran the LNMC you know they would GET a frontpage shot, before anyone really knows who they are.

What's not to love. CRASH KINGS ~ "Come Away"

And here's the rest.

PEACE & GNA

My friends gave me the 45 to that for my grade 6 birthday party (spring 1971), and we played it all party. They also gave me cone incense and I proceeded to burn holes all over the house: floors, carpets, counters. I'd light it and go away. Guess we were young hippies.

I like old King Crimson. This is too over the top. I know MIDI was invented around this time but this was a little too much of it's use, like that autotone voice that's used these days.

The Roland GR-300 was not midi.

Loved the Discipline era Crimson. Saw them live in 1981 at the Showbox in Seattle and I was about 3 feet from the stage right in front of Fripp. When it was over one of my friends turned around and said, "Does anyone want to buy my bass?"

Dated Post-Disco Garbage
Fri, 01/29/2010 - 12:43 — salo13

Sorry to be the voice of dissent, but I've never really cared much for this incarnation of King Crimson. (I'm a big supporter of the 1973-74 band.) What we have here is a kind of pan-tonal version of "progressive disco", if you want to call it that. The Stick (used by Tony Levin) is, to my conservatory-trained ears, a totally cloying and obnoxious instrument, compelling the player to turn the low end into some annoying post-disco keyboard. The writing isn't too glorious, either. This particular group, oddly enough, sounds more dated than any incarnation of this band. It's "totally 80's". I'll stick with "Red" instead.

Is King Crimson singular?

Unique Group
Fri, 01/29/2010 - 15:53 — jmmartin

King Crimson was a unique group. They introduced the use of the Mellotron, an electro-mechanical, polyphonic keyboard, to the genre of concept rock and had some hugely popular, now legendary Lp's that I played the hell our of. (I still have them, unless my 30-something son hasn't made away with them by now. He's really into Lp's.) But it was the concept of the album that grabbed you: psychedelic art and eye candy to a stoner unlike anything we had seen.

I think a great band name would be "Tony Levin's Moustache".

Badass!!!!
Sun, 01/31/2010 - 10:41 — KingNot

Belew, Bruford, Fripp and Levin. Who knew that listening to a Crimson record could be so much fun? To see Fripp smiling onstage is odd but I understand why.
