I forgot to mention one other. King Crimson live at the Orpheum Theater. As much as I love the new KC, Fripp teasing us like this sucks. A very unsatisfying tidbit, leaving the listener yearning for more. I want to hear an ENTIRE concert, and I hope that happens sooner than later. I was at one of those L.A. shows, and believe me it seems that they left off most of the really good performances. Now I have heard 2 boots from the 2015 U.K. tour, and I hope they will release a full show that includes the classics Epitaph and The Court of the Crimson King. The boots aren't the greatest quality, but it seems the new line-up has really jelled, and the performances are staggering. C'mon RF, please give us a full concert release, and maybe it will be a top 2016 prog album, that I know will not disappoint.
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
Who is this Gilmore person that people keep referring to?

He worked with Michael Kamen, unlike--wait, never mind.
Well, my main disappointment is certainly the "new" AksaK Maboul (with Véronique Vincent) album
Which is actually an unfinished Honeymoon Killers album from the early 80's that was recently finished by Crammed Discs
Very disappointmlent off-base new wave electro-pop... But then again nothing the Honeymoon Killers didn't do back then
However, WhyTF market this "thing" as a Aksak Maboul album?
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Almost all the stuff I was waiting for (a long time) (mostly Italian Prog) wasn't released this year.
And some of the bands seems to have vanished during their recordings...

Honestly i think i'm reaching Crimson saturation point. i'm a die-hard...saw the friends and family show before the first Canada show where they're at now...that's me on the left in Tony's recent diary update in the suit...but like, the old-new songs flat out didn't convince as being "new" (RF hardly played on them either - NST aside - and when he did his tones weren't very powerful or high in the mix) and nor did the new-new ones...they're honored but lacking...there're rumors of another personnel change come 2017 but we'll have to see...honestly this line-up seems more like 21CSB but with lots of drummers and RF not really knowing what to do, next to no improvisation from the backline...shrug...we'll see what's next i guess.

They missed a golden opportunity to call themselves Tres Amigos and play all the old GG songs mariachi style.
My biggest disappointment of the year was going to see the Trevor Horn Band play with Seal due to sing, but Seal had to pull out with flu. Still a good show, but would have been great to see Seal, and indeed see Seal sing the likes of "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Slave to the Rhythm" and "I'm Not in Love".

My biggest disappointment is that people are still taking photos at King Crimson gigs despite Fripp's request that they cease and desist. Have you guys heard about this? I'm surprised that there isn't a 15-page thread filled with self-righteous indignation and internet macho bravado!
