King Crimson #4 : 50 jaren jong ...

Ja, het is eigenlijk gewoon een nieuw boek geworden. Zeer de moeite waard, ook al heb je de eerste versie al in de kast staan.

Het was blijkbaar belangrijk om het in 2019 nog uit te brengen, want anders vervallen de auteursrechten blijkbaar. Die zijn naar 50 jaar niet meer goed beschermd.

Goed dat de box nog steeds op de planning staat .

KING CRIMSON 2020 TOUR POSTPONED FOR A YEAR



King Crimson have taken the difficult, but inevitable decision to postpone this summer’s tour of North America for a year. Although it is possible that some venues in the US and Canada may open again in time for shows this June and July, there seems little possibility that the threat from Coronavirus will have completely faded – and we have no desire to risk the health of the band, the crew or the audience. No-one should have to decide between a concert and a threat to their health.

We have been in discussion with the various concert promoters, all of whom remain very keen to host King Crimson shows, and it is our intention wherever possible to play exactly the same dates with the Zappa Band on very similar dates in 2021. The rescheduled dates will be confirmed over the coming weeks.

This should leave fans with the option of either ticket refunds, or attending the rescheduled concerts next year.

In the coming week, we will also be contacting all those who have bought Royal Packages directly from DGMLive so that they can make the same decision.

In the meantime, we wish everyone the very best of health, and hope to see you next year.

Besteld! Hopelijk komt die Live In Rome (als ik het goed heb) set nog die vorig jaar werd aangekondigd. En dan hopelijk nog dit jaar de grote Court box

De 1969 box komt er aan in ieder geval

De meeste live opnames in deze box heb ik overigens ook al, uit de Epitaph box en wat Collector Club albums. De conclusie is dus duidelijk : kopen .

Het nieuwe solo album van Jakko Jakszyk is trouwens ook heel aardig

All the recordings undertaken during the making of In The Wake Of Poseidon are now available to download.

The recordings are presented exactly as they appear on the original multitracks, engineered by Robin Thompson, with consecutive takes on each reel running seamlessly.

The raw tapes offer many different and revealing perspectives on the making of King Crimson's second studio album.

All the original studio sessions from 1970 are being made available by download in 2020 to satisfy recent changes to copyright laws: All recordings must be released within the fiftieth year of their recording in order to continue to enjoy copyright protection.

Ja, dat hoop ik ook. Maar ik vraag me ook wel eens af hoeveel “verder” er nog is als ze de huidige tour hebben afgemaakt. Fripp en Levin zijn allebei net 75 geworden.

King Crimson heeft gisteren het laatste concert van deze tour gedaan ... en daarmee waarschijnlijk ook het allerlaatste ooit.

Melding van Fripp op facebook :

RF: King Crimson at the Shibuya Bunkamara Orchard Hall, Tokyo; Wednesday 8th. December 2021 I...
Onstage at 18.40, doors held for ten minutes to allow the audience to enter. A full house.
The first set: one hour and three minutes. Overall length: two hours and twenty-four minutes.
King Crimson’s final note of Starless, the last note of this Completion Tour in Japan, moved from sound to silence at 21.04.

What next for King Crimson?
By Sid Smith ( Prog ) published about 6 hours ago

After Robert Fripp's comments after the band's final show in Japan, Sid Smith ponders what the band might do next...

quote:

When Robert Fripp posted on his Facebook page that King Crimson had “moved from sound to silence” at the end of their last date in Japan, it seems to confirm that, for this line-up at least, King Crimson is at an end.

The full post reads: “King Crimson at the Shibuya Bunkamura Orchard Hall, Tokyo; Wednesday 8th. December 2021 Onstage at 18.40, doors held for ten minutes to allow the audience to enter. A full house. The first set: one hour and three minutes. Overall length: two hours and twenty-four minutes. King Crimson’s final note of Starless, the last note of this Completion Tour in Japan, moved from sound to silence at 21.04.”

Interpreting Fripp’s pronouncements about the movements and intentions of King Crimson isn’t always an easy task even for seasoned Crim-watchers. This is, after all, a band that has previously “ceased to exist” on at least four occasions over its eventful and occasionally turbulent 52-year history.

But although we’ve learned never to say never with King Crimson, with members not getting any younger, and along with the complexities and uncertainties for large-scale touring in the wake of Covid not going away any time soon, it does feel as though time has finally been called on what has been a remarkable musical journey.

The three-drummer iteration of King Crimson has been the longest-running in the band’s history. With numerous live releases documenting their dramatic and sometimes revelatory reinvention of material old and new, they never recorded a studio album. It seems unlikely that they will do so now. However, with every gig the band ever played in its 8-year reign nestling safely in the archive, it’s certain there’ll be a few more live albums along the way to keep avid Crimheads happy.

So where next for Fripp and company? We know Gavin Harrison has his calendar filled with Porcupine Tree dates, and Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto are touring together in their Stick Men trio with Markus Reuter next year. Mel Collins and Jeremy Stacey remain in-demand first-call players whose telephone will no doubt be ringing off the hook and Jakko Jakszyk is already at work on his next solo album. Fripp himself has indicated that he’ll be performing a series of soundscape concerts in the USA in 2022 that will also include a Q&A session with Fripp and KC manager David Singleton, and of course, there's always the possibility that he could reactivate his 'wild card' guitarist mode, something that has happened whenever King Crimson has come to a standstill in the past.

And who knows, the emergence of a different albeit non-touring King Crimson line-up could once again take us all by surprise the way it did in 2014. Fripp also says ‘a completion is a new beginning,’ so perhaps we shouldn’t be too quick to write the band’s epitaph just yet? As ever, when it comes to King Crimson, there are always more questions than answers.

Ik heb ze 7 keer gezien de laatste jaren. En daarvoor nog 2 keer op de THRAK tour (1995/96) , en op North Sea Jazz (2003).

Ja, die laatste jaren waren echt onverwacht, en boven verwachting goed. Het had voor mij altijd al een beetje het gevoel van een afscheidstournee. KC was altijd een band die niet terugkeek, en zelden oude nummers speelde. Door de focus nu opeens wel op de oude nummers te leggen had het meteen het gevoel van een afsluiting. Dat dat 8 jaar zou duren had niemand durven hopen denk ik.

Misschien jammer dat het nooit tot een nieuw studio album is gekomen, er was genoeg materiaal denk ik. Aan de andere kant zijn er genoeg liveopnames, ook van de veel nieuwe nummers, dus het is ook niet heel erg.De focus lag duidelijk op wat anders - concerten geven. En dat was prima !

After King Crimson's dissolution in 1974, Robert Fripp embarked on a lengthy sabbatical away from the
public eye. His relocation from Great Britain to New York in February 1978 marked his return as a
producer, solo artist, and 'wild card' collaborator with an impressive roster of artists including Daryl
Hall, Blondie, Peter Gabriel, and David Bowie. Fripp's first solo album, Exposure, was released in 1979. A
further two solo records, Under Heavy Manners/God Save The Queen and Let The Power Fall followed,
and in 1980 he formed The League Of Gentlemen. Described as a New Wave dance band, this led to King
Crimson's reformation in 1981.
Presented over 25CDs, 3DVD discs (audio only), and 4 Blu-Ray discs (audio only), this is the most
comprehensive and detailed account of Robert Fripp's solo material from that era, much of it previously
unreleased. Included are new stereo, 5.1 Surround Sound, Dolby Atmos and Surround/Quadraphonic
mixes by Steven Wilson and David Singleton. Also featured is the complete DGM archive of
Frippertronics - over 68 hours of Frippertronics concerts and loops archived and audio restored, with the
majority of these available for the first time on disc and many heard for the first time since they were first
performed and recorded between 1977 and 1983.
This set is a fitting testament to an intensely creative and radically diverse chapter in Robert Fripp's
career.
