King Crimson Live In Offenbach, 7 June 2000

[@ulfingvar1]

God, their improvs are so gooooooooooood! One feels like in the presence of some supernatural force..

[@tomt5745]

They are supernatural. Fripp was born on Saturn. Not even Zappa could played his pants off

[@JohnOpie]

Wonderful! I was at the concert, the fifth time I had seen King Crimson in action...

[@youfilin]

The Deception Of The Thrush is an incredible tune. Listen to that thousand times, but still can't believe how can it possible to create it...

[@garyscheuch3106]

And the winner for the most effective use of musical technology goes to King Crimson.

[@father4732]

Its the posts like this that make King Crimson's KZbin channel an absolute joy. I love these old shows so much... Its shame I'll never be able to see King Crimson live.

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

why not, where u from?

[@father4732]

Tem Ger update: went to Stuttgart, Germany on 9th September after 8 hour flight from UAE.

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

You flew from UAE to Germany only for KC? Respect!! I have been to the Stuttgart concert too, btw :)

[@katielawrence5420]

I love King Crimson.

[@thomaslegrand3166]

I was there !! It was a Great Impressive concert!

[@AboubacarSiddikh]

A million thanks!!

[@internetenjoyer1044]

if Cage had come out in the 70s or 80s it would be seen as one of the classic Crimson songs, up their with Red or whatever

[@thingfishp]

I have this on a live recording and it is still sooooo satisfying. Always have loved the willingness to g out there and explore

[@danopticon]

Beginning around 09:12 is the first time I’ve ever seen Robert Fripp play bass - albeit a MIDI fretless bass tone triggered by his six-string electric guitar - and I must admit, I’m surprised at how protective of my turf that made me feel. Maybe this is how Robert feels when people try covering his compositions. I said during a Zoom meeting he was a part of that I was going to try learning some ‘80s League of Gentlemen riffs - not intending anything dismissive by it, fully apprehending these are difficult pieces, simply wanting to appreciate them a new way and thinking one or two might be within my technical reach - and I don’t know whether I imagined this or not, but I thought he seemed a bit miffed. So… no disrespect intended, Robert? And certainly not trying to intrude on your territory, or to presume I ever could… just a bit overenthusiastic at times, I guess? 😕

[@christopherjobin-official7440]

Oh, I guess Robert wouldn't like that I want to have a Crimson cover band... still gonna do it, tho.

[@ulfingvar1]

For God's sake, release these on DVD or bluray! We never know how long these will be available..

[@matiasramos6112]

wuuuooooooooo brutal...

[@susanarosarojas5015]

Esto es ESPECTACULAR!!!!

[@candleg0at]

Wow, thanks a lot for posting this

[@Darrylizer1]

Saw them several times on this tour and the last from this iteration of the band. I liked them much more than the double trio. The sound was much less cluttered, the band could and did listen to one another much more effectively.

[@reidwhitton6248]

For me, the quartet eras of the band are the most interesting.

[@2523kt]

Thanks for posting this!

[@omarvanherr]

Thank you.

[@susanarosarojas5015]

Why is laughing Ade while singing Cage at some point? Love his acoustic guitarr duelo with Fripp.

[@kermheat]

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NaviafromtheSDR]

03:23 Belew strums his guitar like if he didn't have anything better to do 03:28 Fast Fripp

[@kieranobrien1769]

Yes siree Bob. And Adrian. And Pat. And Trey. And not necessarily in that order.

[@Cpayne30]

Love the drumming here but those V-Drums have not aged well over time.

[@infowarriorone]

I wonder, will DGM release more (or all) of those BootlegTV recordings on youtube? There was some talk a while back about them being made avaiable on the DGM Live site but that never materialized. Three fairly lengthy tour videos so far. At 1080p these concert clips are quite good.

[@Andrés_Solo]

THE BEST !!!!

[@Fyloeu]

Kings!

[@purestress2597]

Fobert Rripp doesn't even look like he's having fun.

[@heko1789]

thats the jazz improv badass face

[@purestress2597]

No, even jazz musicians emote some.

[@thingfishp]

He smiles and nods his head in time for a moment - that's demonstrative behavior for Bobby!

[@danopticon]

@@purestress2597 - Are you kidding? Beginning around the 20:00 mark especially he looks like he’s having the time of his life!

[@tomt5745]

Its his deadpan face when playing, since 1969. Focused on the sound, not the audience

[@Ruben_Godoy]

se extraña a adrian :(

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

I just had the wonderful experience of meeting Adrian Belew. He was playing with Todd Rundgren to pay TRibute to David Bowie. I bowed to him. I was in the presence of geniuses.

[@cuzned1375]

Whoa. If i had to name the Adrian-era piece i've played the most, it would be either "Indiscipline" or "Deception of the Thrush". And i literally never grokked that Ade isn't involved in "Deception" at all. Are there other KC performances that don't utilize the whole band...?

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Not sure entirely but FraKctured also is Fripp only on gtr. Maybe Ade joins somewhere - not sure.

[@cuzned1375]

@@exeromusic Oh yeah, there's a fair amount of gold in those ProjeKcts. As a matter of fact, if i remember right, my favorite rendition of Deception is from The Roar of P4. I guess i just presumed (without really thinking about it) that once the whole band started playing it, they divvied up the various guitar noises between Robert and Ade. I wonder what the recent beastly line-ups would do with the piece... But i suspect that it was more Trey's baby than Robert's.

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@HerbalistGuybrush Frakctured does have Belew on Guitar, but only for the soft and fairy fingers sections. All of the sprints and the terror section are performed by Fripp.

[@RealHIFIHelp]

When did they stop making music? This band just sounds so good.

[@mikeynebb]

anybody have this whole show

[@zairajudith6859]

Please, someone, help me I've been dying to hear the song playing at minute 1:25 ... can someone please tell me the title and I promise to jam out in your name!♥

[@atomictorchlight8751]

"The ConstruKction of Light".

[@UPTOWNTHEATER]

How do I buy the last tour on Blu-ray, better yet where can I?

[@albertosantillan2535]

Mastelotto is great when he mix acoustic and electronics drums, like on the tour 2003. but on this tour 2000 is muy irregular, insipido.

I've got to get dressed to go out of my mind.....👁
