King Crimson 2014 rehearsal excerpt

[WytchCrypt]

I knew their original announcement of only doing live versions of old material wouldn't last...welcome back Crimso

[100423]

Improvisations are intrinsic to the spirit of earlier King Crimson, so it will be good if there are those even if there aren't new songs per se.

I thought this might be another rehearsal clip:

I hope they go heavy on the surf rock this time.

Sounds good! I hope this is a sign of them playing new stuff on the tour and eventually recording another album. As excited as I am about seeing them perform the classic stuff, I really enjoy hearing bands play new material live.

I'm not convinced that Thos' theory about LTIA1 is wrong.

I agree 100% with Thos...it was the first thing I thought of too. It sounded great, no muddy drums like the Thrak band...not that that was a bad thing, but this was a refreshing change. Can't wait for the show!

The shows are billed as "past, present & future". Don't ever recall Fripp stating it would only be old material, or only pre-Belew material or anything other than going back over the KC catalogue to determine what would be played. He really left the door open in my mind.

Agreed; I thought Fripp's quotes were typically vague and equivocal. And even when he is absolutely clear and unambiguous, I've learned better than to take him too literally. Remember "King Crimson is over, forever and ever" in 1974?

This better not suck - this whole evening is gonna cost me at least 2 bills, possibly 3 because Sussman and Captain Cabesa along with 9 other cats are going. NYC will never be the same. It could get ugly.

[notallwhowander]

Hold on to that menace and sense of entitlement. I think it will really open you up to the musical experience.

I tend to agree with me as well!

Some other folks on the Hoffman site picked it out immediately as well. (http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thread....358881/page-8 - scroll to bottom)

If it's not intentional, it's highly coincidental. I think they might have chosen to leak this particular clip since it's a bit hard to ID (that particular section wasn't included in live versions back in the day).

I hope to hear LtiAI at the show...! we shall see.

What's Mast'o, chopped liver?

Where's Pat?

After the Venturing Unto Joy Part 1 clip went live earlier this week, Gavin Harrison took and listen and said to himself "Hang on, that's Pat Mastelotto on drums as well!" A phone call from Jakko to DGMLive Towers then pointed out the error in the shownotes and listing details, which have now been amended. Our apologies to Pat for airbrushing him out of this particular Hot Tickle KC moment.

Well. That's what three drummers sounds like.

He was grabbin' the beers.

[JKL2000]

That photo that goes with the clip is pretty funny. Fripp's now doing fist bumps and stuff like that.

[JKL2000]

Well. That's what three drummers sounds like.

It sounds like unnecessary. I'm one who never even got the point of two drummers though, for KC, Genesis, or any band.

"This is Aynsley. He sounds like two drummers."
