I looked at the web site and don't know who's in the band. I assume it's Fripp and his cast of players in ties and vests? (2014- )

"King Crimson’s touring lineup consists of guitarist Robert Fripp and longtime associates Tony Levin (bass, Chapman Stick) and Mel Collins (saxophone) alongside singer/guitarist Jakko Jakszyk and four (!) drummers, Bill Rieflin, Gavin Harrison, Pat Mastelotto and Jeremy Stacey. Stacey and Rieflin also double as keyboardists."

Reading up on the band, I saw that Greg Lake died of cancer in 2016. A belated RIP, Greg.

No, don't do concerts or movies anymore. I like control of my vision and hearing.

I did notice that you must be close to me. I'm south of Nashville near the Alabama line.

A must see. This was 2017 Greek Theatre, LA. Wish Belew would join again. No photos allowed except at the end.

Hey, I was there with my wife! Tenth row left of stage, greatest seats I've ever purcha$ed.

I looked into seeing Adrian Belew when he tours, but that's out, all venues with poor or no seeing. I have a five foot tall wife, we only go to shows where we can get good sight lines.

radguzzi · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2019, 08:58:15 PM »

Like many others here, been years since I even uttered the band's name.

But King Crimson at the Ryman...?

Cool. the times they are a changin'

It's totally worth it JUST for Tony Levin. The rest is just an fantastic bonus.

Nice! We were very close to you and they were excellent seats, the only closer I got to Fripp was at a local record store called Harmony House in Detroit. I walked in and there he was in the corner by himself on a stool with his guitar. Very intense guy. I dragged my wife and one of my kids to the show, they just couldn't understand my passion for them. Now they understand. Wife insists on going to the Sept. 3rd show.

I saw Lark's Tongue and Starless tours back in the 70s. Being a drummer wannabe, I enjoyed the rhythm and Bill Bruford.

Crimson has played several times (seen all of them) in Nashville with Adrian in the past. Fripp used to stayed at Adrian's in Whitehouse, TN and they would do warmup gigs at a small club called 12th & Porter.

Fripp may seem intense but isn't. My wife had a 30 minute conversation with him several years back before their Sunday matinée show in Nashville.

Lot's of cool shows now at the Ryman...seen Jeff Beck there before. Santana is coming, Buddy Guy , Jon Anderson from YES, Alice Cooper and Ringo Starr to name a few.

I think it about 1972 and I was 13, he was the be all end all to me, that was intense. BTW, I love Nashville, my son lives there.

How can you not.. one of the best ever IMHO!

Drum-Tech for the 2007 Euro tour of The Flower Kings. I'm sitting at Pat Mastelloto's drum kit.

Wow!! what i would give to have seen those shows!

Always loved Bruford's work especially with KC and early YES

I also saw Bruford's band in the early 80's at the Armadillo.

Probably seen Yes maybe 4 or 5 times but none with Bill.

A buddy and I saw King Crimson here in town in late 2017. NOT TO BE MISSED! One of the most amazing and spellbinding shows I've ever seen.
