King Crimson Tickets

This was one of my favourite concerts ever and believe me I am not one for hyperbole. Unsurpassed musicianship. The set list spanned the 50 year repertoire of King Crimson and seemed to satisfy everyone. I don’t see how it could not. The use of 3 drummers was masterful. They played in unison, they played off each other and they each contributed the own unique sound from their individual drum kits that resonated deeply. Tony Levin was masterful and provided a huge stage presence. Robert Fripp was zeroed in on the music, using a watchful eye to study and connect with his band mates. The band came across somewhat like a jazz ensemble but it was high energy wicked rock music. They were able to add in captivating mood changes as well. Islands, for example, was absolutely mesmerizing. I can go on but I think this gives my picture of the evening. Highly Recommended!

As usual King Crimson provided a great set list which covered many favourites from their 50+ year catalogue. They all played well and the placement of the 3 drum sets up front (as usual for this band) allowed an interesting study in playing style and coordination.

This was a simply amazing experience to watch this group of outstanding musicians play the extremely complex music to perfection. The coordination of the three drummers was something to behold. Mr. Fripp conducted the band to provide a musical experience that cannot be duplicated except by seeing King Crimson Live. One of the best concerts that I have ever experienced.

Progrock just as fresh as it was 50 years ago! King Crimson did not disappoint, even though the lineup consisted of only one original member, Robert Fripp. Would have appreciated some word from the band as to who was who, but talking wasn't their thing. Also, the excellent camera work for the large screens which we have previously enjoyed at the Bud Stage was sorely absent from this concert.

I haven't enjoyed a concert in a long time as much as I enjoyed An Evening with King Crimson. I first saw this band 48 years ago (and it could have been 50 -- on their first tour -- if I wasn't such a numb nuts). There were some long-time members in the band, with some more recent joiners, but wow, just wow. Everything they played was truly excellent. I must admit that the three drummers were having a bit too much fun by the end of the performance, but listening to three master musicians work as one was a quite interesting experience. The highlights of the performance for me was "Moonchild" with lovely solo portions and Mel Collins breaking into "Take the A Train" during his solo in the encore of "21st Century Schizoid Man" -- a truly bizarre Crim moment for sure. Thanks, guys, for a terrific evening!

This is the 3rd time I have seen King Crimson and the 1st time was 50 years ago. I think they are better than ever. The musicianship was amazing and the sound was perfect.

Number 1: went with a great group of people. Number 2: seat upgrade. Nice surprise, bonus! King Crimson arguably the most complicated music in rock, played the music with expertise and soul. The ‘home team’ crowd stood up several times for standing ovations! And the encore song (21st Century Schizoid Man) was the perfect ending for a perfect evening. Superb!

Big sound. Three drums and 3 guitars. Ultra progressive rock combined with jazz / rock / fusion. Highly recommended.

Just simply put, WOW. It’s been years since I’ve seen them play but it was absolutely amazing. Makes me remember why I love music
