King Crimson last night was as incredible as expected. They played material from across their discography and did a lot of awesome improv on the classics. Fripp and Levin were god tier and this show had some of the best live drumming I've ever seen with the triple drummers. Never been crazy about KC's use of horns but Mel Collins really won me over. I almost cried when they did Lark's Tongues.
The crowd was annoying though. Big stadium and they would do standing ovations in the middle of songs like it was the first time they'd listened to Moonchild all the way through. There was a no recording/photos policy and if Fripp would spot someone in the audience doing it, he would point and shake his head, which I thought was pretty funny. I shelled out for these seats and it was worth it.
