King Crimson - 1982-09-29 - Munich, Germany

[@jaywiencko7460]

I was present at the Spring '82 stop at Toad's Place (New Haven, CT, USA) and stood, leaning on the stage right in front of these artists. How I wish I could replay that performance. Each musician had their own energy to enjoy with their music. Fripp playing "scientific guitar" while making otherworldly sounds in a tux is mind-blowing. Ah, the 80s...it shall never return, but thank God for KZbin!

Seeing Tony Levin playing his stick, is a real pleasure for me.

Belew always looks to be having the best time of anyone in the house - a born entertainer filled with infectious fun!

Belew seemed to have the most fun with the audience. Bruford seemed to have the most fun with his instrument.

True. He Was Like that in His Brief time with Zappa as Well. He Was Awesome! Bruford Has a Fun Spirit As Well.

Adrian is a really fun and kind guy. Fripp, on the other hand.

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

Belew definitely enjoys performing. I don't think you can say the same thing about Fripp.

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

I met him last year when he was touring with Todd Rundgren for the David Bowie TRibute. I had a meet and greet and Todd laughed at me because I bowed down to Adrian. Todd knows I have great taste in music. I have a few really good photos of that amazing night. Adrian came in the bar at the hotel and wanted a White Russian. I guess they couldn't make him one. The next time I see him, I'm bringing him a huge thermos full. 🤪

Astute observation. And only one a tuned-in musician would recognize. It's no easy feat to direct a band as skillfully as Fripp does so ostensibly effortlessly. Fripp appears to be playing mechanically, but his ears are finely tuned to listen for the slightest variation of when to play a microsecond ahead or behind the beat. Not an easy thing for even highly skilled musicians to do.

@@katherinehunter9526 I am sorry to hear about the relationship ending. Sometimes we truly arrive at a fork in the road in life and it sounds like that was one of them for you. I think you actually made the right decision though, because you should have never HAD to make that choice! If your boyfriend REALLYYYYY loved you, he would have loved you just the same, piercings or not.. Yes, I definitely think the best version of Crimson was this period and quartet lineup of Belew, Bruford, Levin and Fripp. BTW, I am a professional jazz bassist based in NYC. Nice talking to with you on here. Thanks!

@@vbassone Hey thanks for you kind words. I was right to leave him because he did find a woman who was into body piercing and tattoos, so I hope he is happy. I think love had nothing to do with it. Fetishes are like that. Yes he should have loved me without me having to mutilate my body but love had nothing to do with his desire. I couldn't fake it knowing I wasn't enough. Anyone, that's ancient history now, that I only think of because of our connection to King Crimson. I loved that Three of a Perfect Pair tour from back in the 80's. I even caught a bus and followed the band after seeing them preform in Toronto one night then over to Camp Fortune Quebec to see them their second second night in Canada. I must say the gig in Quebec was a longer show and if you can imagine this even better than the Toronto show. I was so glad I went. Most folks follow the Grateful Dead like that but I like their music but not enough to follow them. King Crimson is light years ahead of them and most bands. Tony and Robert have played both played s Single gigs here that I have been blessed enough to witness. Enough about me. What type of a bass do you play? Do you sing too? Are you currently in a band? Do you have any video's I can look for? Nice talking to you on here . Peace KEH

Indiscipline is a masterpiece. Bruford is a beast here.

Indiscipline gives me shivers from time to time. Such a cool thing.

“I Did” 😂😂😂 Bless the video editor’s heart!

[@tobin7969]

I like Bruford's smile during the outro of Neal and Jack and Me, (28:15). Looks like he's enjoying it as much as I'm enjoying hearing it.

[@Miwof]

Yes, a fine moment of relaxing the tension, just after Brufords short, incredibly effective break, then coming back with fat bubbling Bass + drums to drive Fripps uplifting solo home ...

[@ministrychicago1]

Saw this tour Live in '83 and Waiting Man was By Far the most Impressive tune. LOVE!!!!!!!!
