Oddly fripp seems to be in a studio with his full setup in the lunar probe….wonder what he’s up to? If you check his Facebook, you’ll see it….no clue but curious what may come!

Agreed - something with Bill was he always seemed to play the right part at the right time…could play keys AND drums in a show! Especially the 2017 show released stuff, his keyboard stuff really...
Forgot about these and I have these on my iPhone! I’ll give the radical suite + level 5 from Rome tonight! So with this deluxe box of the doc, we’ll have just a little bit more from that set!
They...
Looks like on the deluxe documentary box that we’re getting bolero > dawn song > last skirmish > prince Rupert’s lament from Rome 2018! So at least some bit of it!
Imagine we’ll never get the full...
You mean suitable grounds changed, right? Suitable got the improv piano intro and the guitar solo went away in lieu of another piano led section before Mel’s sax solo.
The errors really only got...
I love too how as someone mentioned, no songs overlap from rock in rio and the rehearsal footage from Tring, so you functionally get 2 hours of pure live filmed performance, 1 in front of 100k...
8 disc is an easy decision - the content is immense! Only downside is they’re about 1month between the smaller physical release and this big box.
Looks like an additional 1 hour of backstage /...
The hope is the physical release they tease is soon around the corner!
I think we pretty confidently know from what’s been said in various places that the physical release is expected to contain...
There were press releases about this yesterday - what’s on streaming is for the first time the entirety of the rooftop performance front to back, remastered. Curious they chose to hold this back off...
It struck me as odd finishing up the doc the other way as well, but then something else struck me. If I’m recalling correctly, for literally every song on the album, Peter Jackson shows us the band...
They’ve said whenever the current band winds down that they want to digitally release all their shows on DGM and there will be some kind of box set commemorating this formation. Granted, boxed set...
That would be Jeremy Stacey handling the violin part via a mellotron sample on keys. Saw him handling it first hand in milwaukee when they played it this year - caught me by surprise as they hadn’t...
They’d released one from Mexico 2019 with this same arrangement in 2019! Only difference is the tempo feels faster on the 2021 and the piano might be mixed a bit better
Redone radical 1 was officially released as radical 1 / meltdown as part of the KC 50 series where they released a new song every Friday. You can buy it on iTunes right now.
I do agree that up...
Did they really do coda: I have a dream as a coda to court? Or was it just the normal coda to court? Because that would be an interesting combo!
Per Tony’s blog he put in a bunch of time to work on elektrik so we know that song, which they brought back in 2019 is in play
Toyahs (Fripps wife’s) music isn’t my cup of tea (to each his own) but apparently fripp is on every song on her new album:

Who would have thought - KC with 4 shows in Florida? Guess the demands there!
I’d have to imagine with 7 members that yes, there’s some long term planning that KC does. Have to imagine it’s been utterly exhausting though figuring out how to make a 2021 tour work and they’re...
I know roger has the screenshot in the video, but until the band officially announced the rerelease, can’t rule out the potential for odds and ends and any live stuff. Would be cool to see but not...
Glad to see it looks like the boys will tour! Will be curious if they’ll still do 2.5-3 hours across two sets and an encore or if touring with the Zappa band will shorten things....although the...
They did play frame by frame a bit in 2019, so that’s in scope for them now.
I’m curious wheb stuff like elektrik. Frame by frame, and larks 4 will get released versions by current band. Imagine...
didnt sound like he was vocally struggling w/ the tune though? I thought current band version of Exiles was EXCELLENT and glad to hear them doing it - good vocal from jakko, classic fripp-style...

Stolen from reddit - interview with Toby aimies......doc was apparently done then Robert did 8 hours of interviews at the start of quarantine lol. Some day...
All ten shows from the 2008 tour are available for purchase now, so there’s that to tide over the news of the tour postponement...
Crazy to think - 2020 will be the first time in 7 years without...
Wow - to think that all that pain and suffering was going on behind the scenes with bill and he still insisted on soldiering on and performing music with his buddies. I read it as a tribute to the...
If you read the updated KC book from Sid Smith, it does mention fripp working with a sports psychologist prior to reactivating the current band, so imagine that impacts things somewhat. He’s also...
Don’t hold your breath - they were pretty clear in the press release about this being it besides a festival or two to be announced. For whatever reason, they chose to do eastern US and Canada only...
DGM page still says Zappa band for ravinia, but we’ll see. Ravinia isn’t a real festival......more just a series of unrelated shows all summer long.
2015 single song from each night downloads have begun.....a handful of them are up now. Free for mp3! Hooray for more music!
No bill rieflin this year, it’s the 7 man band, same as 2019. This per the DGM forum from their webmaster. Here’s hoping he’s back some time! His rather subtle contributions to the band are pretty...
Go to the king crimson news thread - Zappa band is NOT Dweezil, it’s the band that backed the Zappa hologram, but they will NOT be using the hologram, it’ll all be live. So that’s that - that’s all...
Through the first hundred pages or so and it’s delightful! Very in-depth and I actually like the track by track section being at the end - when you finish the section on a particular album, you can...
That doc is going to be CLASSIC. Hope it’s 3 hours of that trailer.....hahahaha
Explains the retirement - hope he got to enjoy those years since the band ended with his family. RIP the professor.
He’s right - I got mine for just south of $30 all inclusive of shipping via DGM using media mail. It’s quite the big heavy book with lots of cool info in there, especially all the post-2003 content...
Last 30 pages or so of the book proper is all about the current band. At various parts in the book, there will be a page or two about the current band, which will tie into whatever that chapter is...
It did say we’ll get news on both “soon”, so imagine at some point in the next few weeks!
The updated 600 page leviathan of a book has arrived and I’m sure that will consume me for a bit here -...

Basically a studio version of the updated radical 1 + meltdown. Also, a little confirmation around the 2020 documentary release!
On the Vienna release, fripp plays the beginning of the song himself, or at least its mixed in such a way where it sounds like him alone. That is how they did it in 2016. In 2017, they switched the...
2014 stuff is what was intended for USA 2.
2015 stuff is never before released soundboard audio.
2016-2018 is the nightly downloads besides bolero and radical 1 reworked where this release is...
They each have their own value and even songs that repeat have nuances about them changed over years. Plus the switch from 7 man to 8 man lineup and all that that brought along with it.
Toronto...
Radical 1 is also unreleased so far unless on the audio diary 2014-2018, at least as it appears on that. starting the fall 2017 tour they altered the arrangement and extended the length of radical 1...

Frame by frame has been debuted it seems....curious how jakko will sound on it!
So far this tour the new ones...
Tonight’s the first public show so we certainly shall see what’s different v what they played at friends and family.
Not a spoiler, but looking at pics it looks like Jeremy added another keyboard...
For those who have it, how is the 2008 New York stuff? Always curious about that period as so little music has been released from it. Imagine if they had video footage of that version?
Looks like the 3 tracks from Rome are listed as coming from July 22 - perhaps live in Rome is that complete show? Or maybe a compilation of both nights in Rome? We shall see - typically these...
He did note in his blog that the drummers have a new drum piece, so that’s our sole note of new music....as usual imagine they’re keeping a tight lid on what tunes they’re adding until the tour kicks...
So back to the 2016 version of the band we go! Will be cool to see what additional material they add for this go-round.
Also full details for heaven and earth are out:...

Rolling stone interview with fripp promoting the tour
Definitive larks 1 and red for me come from the current lineups live in Toronto album -just searing aggressive play from the band and all parts fire on all cylinders. The addition of double bass...
All depends on when contracts are completed with venues.....that’s why it’s all coming out in bits and pieces. I do agree, all at once would be awesome, but doing it this way means shows get...
Believe it’s europe, North America, and South America that are the 3 continents....I could be wrong!
Also, would not anticipate additional nights for LA, Chicago, or NYC - Singleton had mentioned...
Not shocking that there are more US dates......only 3 in the US would be insane
Hhhhhhmmnmmmm prolly more to be announced. They haven’t announced all 50 dates yet and considering the USA shows so far are New York, Chicago, and California, that’s a large amount of travel for only...
Same issue with the beacon - licensing issues with the venue. Same venue where Singleton wrote that he couldn’t get a mic for the royal package because the union fee to do that would have been...
In addition to the already announced UK-exclusive 3 shows at the Royal Albert hall in June 2019, looks like they’ve added 5 shows in Germany.
Oh and they’ve officially confirmed the documentary...
I mean he is still carrying a heavy load, this is complicated music! To say Fripp isn’t carrying a heavy load would be highly inaccurate.
What I am curious about - looks like in addition to the...
I tend to agree, a very immersive mix where everyone shines and no one shines. When someone is doing something in a song that needs to be emphasized, it’s crystal clear in the mix. Especially Bill...
Whoops - I meant to say shoot them a message. Don’t ever shoot the shipper, they’re undoubtedly nice people! My mistake for mistyping!
