King Crimson to tour US in 2017

It should be moving along by now. When Reiflen decided to take a year off, it was reported on dgmlive that Fripp wouldn't be ready to record until he returned.

 

In honor of the beginning of the 8-man beast rehearsals:
Anyone have insight to any new tunes being added to the set?

 

No, but I vote for "Exiles."

 

I hope we hear Fallen Angel in Oakland.

 

Looks like "Exiles" is coming... @rtalwani
The Crims are at it again

 

Tickets for Rochester NY $125, $115, $95 or $75.
Resellers range from $220 to $268 (orchestra).

 

What a suspiciously convenient excuse...

 

I hope to be surprised by the setlist the night of, but would still like to hear "Lament" and "Fracture" by the current band

 

Have my flight and hotel booked for Seattle and am getting more and more excited about my forthcoming Kcrimson-cation.

 

I share that-for my baptism in Chicago (though I would rather be going to Seattle that Chicago). For years, decades even, I would only listen to ITCOTCK and then only sporadically, but I have recently really gotten into this music, which disburses excellence across decades. Scored a copy of the well-regarded ITCOTCK vinyl recently (already had several versions on disc), as well as great copies of Beat, Islands, and Starless and Bible Black. With my attending ARW and getting hooked, I am going a bit prog-rockish. Don't know what I call Sigur Ros, which we saw last year and are slated to see twice this year, but they are out there as well.

 

Seattle x2 for myself and Mrs. TFEC. See ya there; cain't wait!

 

Scored tickets for Quebec City... Can't wait. Saw them 2 years ago (!) in Montreal, mind was throughly blown

 

Think there are still tickets left through normal channels? Would really be shocked if the scalpers, sorry brokers, will be able to get many fish to bite at $250 average for orchestra.

 

The only 'normal channel' would be the Eastman Theater box office - all the websites
(including theirs) have 'resell prices.'

 

Setlist spoiler (click at your own peril)

 

Do people really care about spoiling a setlist? Well if they do, don't go forward.

 

I can't picture anyone but Wetton singing Fallen Angel, but it should be nice to hear nonetheless.

 

The Eastman is quite a large theater and I would be surprised if this sells out (I am going, yes).

It will be neat to see Tony Levin playing at his alma mater .

Anyone needing tix should just call the box office , nice folks there !

 

Getting so excited for the Toronto date on July 5th !!
Going to the Montreal Jazz Festival on June 30th to see Hiromi.
Back home to catch Dylan on July 4th in Oshawa
and then K C on the 5th.
I hate to wish my life away, but can hardly wait.
Should be an eclectic week of music.
Does KC typically come with a lot of merch ?
Glen

 

My ticket for the Greek Theater show says it starts at 7:30 PM.

Can anyone clarify from their shows what time they usually start in the evenings?

I could see them starting around 8pm or a little after, and if the Greek is anything like the Santa Barbara Bowl (where I caught Radiohead this week), they have a venue curfew of 10pm because of noise.

 

Yes, lots of nice merchandise.

 

I like this one billion times !!!!

 

Don't be surprised if you meet Patricia Fripp (sister) behind the merchandise stand.

 

If she is there...I will definitely meet her !!!

 

Saw them in 2014 in SF, and now I just bought a ticket for the second night in Oakland, can't wait!
