Current KC has an air of professionalism about them; it fits with the "repertory" description. That's not a term that I can imagine applying to most other rock bands. Maybe not to any other, including earlier KC.
I hope they don't do another studio album in the near future. The new music so far from this iteration is not particularly interesting, and certainly not ground-breaking as so many of their studio albums have been. Live is what they do, and I hope they do it long and well without becoming a nostalgia band. We'll know it's over when they start playing at senior centers.
I think the subtext is rapidly becoming text.
I think the repertory description is a good one for this line-up. If a new live album was an amalgam of the material they've been playing live then I agree I not so interested in it but I'd be hopeful they'd surprise us as they have before, they've earned the benefit of the doubt.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
1) lists and 2) talking about himself in the 3rd person
Regardless of what you think of Fripp personally - I think he's kind of a goofball but he's clearly very intelligent and even quite humble in his own way - he's a great interview, if you can get one. I always loved reading his writing, even if he comes off remarkably pretentious at times. I'm impressed by his memory, especially at 72. Its as if he remembers every single gig the band ever played.
there's a lot of truth to this...just by following other message boards, FB groups, you can see people discover KC the same way I did, at about the same age, too (I discovered them at 15, as "Greg Lake's other band"...I'm 32 now). I don't see that with any other progressive bands, at least not to this extent. There's something special about them.

I tease because I love. Robert's an excellent player in a world packed with excellent players. I've always found him to be a courteous gentleman to me. He sure can talk.

He goes into quite a lot of depth about what his role in the band is; at least seven points in the "Can King Crimson exist without Robert Fripp? When you stop performing, is that the end of the band?" section.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
