This is my favorite KC song.

And another great Bowie cover - this one Steven Wilson and Ninet Tayeb covering Space Oddity

They played amazingly complex pieces flawlessly seemingly effortlessly. It was obvious they enjoyed playing with each other I used to think Jakko Jaksczyk's vocals were a weak spot, but I have changed my mind on that now.
My only complaint is that from my seat I couldn't really see Robert Fripp very well, given as how he plays over in a corner

Dread, did you ever hear some unsavory King Crimson rumors? I heard some seriously fruity stuff in a youtube comment. MO told me that's a good unbiased source for that kind of stuff. Hi MO.
Anyway, this is what I'm listening to. Oddly, Wikipedia recommended it to me based on having read McCammon's Swan Song. Visionary post-apocalypse stuff. Anyone ever listened to this? Has a 'cult' following they say.

On Maynard's suggestion, I bought the King Crimson box set, 4 discs. I enjoyed it but focused my attention on disc 2 in particular (a lot from Larks Tongues, Starless, and Red).
Which albums moved you? Tell me the arc of your fandom.
