King Crimson:

Fresh from the recent rehearsals in Nashville, Gavin and Pat give it some boom, bash and bish. Based upon B’Boom, which in turn was based upon an exercise written by Gavin in his 1998 book, Rhythmic Illusions, the new Crim rhythm section gives an early indication of how formidable they might well be.

Upon searching some more for Crimson news on Google I was taken to a site called DGM Live where this post was taken, but; I didn't see much more if there was a new CD or not. I saw two drummers and a download, but nothing on a new CD!
I've seen the King one time on Discipline, and they sure had some discipline in their sound, Robert was sitting most of the time. Tony had the stick, and Bill, well, just hear him people, he's got the rhythmn down pat!

A small segway ... King Crimson brings me to mind of another classic prog band who is currently- soon touring: Return to Forever!
Anyone heard of a KC tour?

One of my favourite features in Blogger is the tagging system. I use it a lot for myself to check back to see if I've posted a certain bit, or in cases like this to see if I'd posted the KC tour dates already.

They're posted here:

Nothing there. That's ok, I cannot afford the price of concerts these days, especially The Eagles: a thousand bucks for decent seats, come on, puleeeze!
Thanks anyway, Bill; re: KC tickets and shows ...
