Yeah, it's about "The Great Deceiver", right. I love it & it shows that David Cross had his place in the Group. Best Crimson Line-Up ever in my ears.

[@tommyrawlings3046]

💯 agreed

One of my favorite improvisations from “The Great Deceiver” set. Wetton’s bass is truly fantastic...

@@plasticweapon you're right, I was misguided. Cerberus is Providence but better, voyage is a bit worse

[@JohnFiocchi]

Fripp says..."A piece that we've been working on for a very long time" Its possible that some of this was arranged instead of improvised. This piece and Doctor Diamond would have been excellent on RED

[@johna6502]

Funny, that whole ending section reminds me strongly of "Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil)" by Bruford's old bandmates Yes.

[@jamesgillen2339]

Sounds a lot like Asbury Park off USA, but this is better violin than we got from David Cross in all the studio albums.

King Crimson is King, good time for you, one favourite, thank you

[@oswing]

c'est le meilleur disque de King Crimson je trouve. Avant, c'est trop "progressif" après c'est très bruitiste. On peut aimer... Mais RED, là, KC nous envoie du très lourd.

ADAM JONES FROM TOOL

[@matthewtop]

The Electro Harmonix Attack Decay lets me get tones like this!

[@edorissen]

The tone of Fripp is a mystery for me. It is so strange, especially his aggressive chordal playing, like the solo on Easy money from the Amsterdam 1973 show. It is not about the exact amp or the fuzz, not the guitar either. Part of it is the use of a wah pedal I guess, it can give you that unnatural squeal. But I don't know what's up with the LTIA 2 tone.

[@Igneous_Tone_Generator]

@@edorissen some of it is about guitar/fuzz/amp- but yeah, its angle of attack of the pick and playing closer to the bridge that gets you the added harmonics of the playing style (like the LTIA pt 2 tone where you hear the notes in spite of the distortion,) the volume pedal where it can get dry with treble when rolled off, and the amp needs to be at the point where it doesnt choke off when you roll the pedal off. Bridge pickup, low output pickups not too close to the strings, volume pedal, fuzz not too compressed, wah-(you pivot the pedal until its where the filter acts to increase the sustain) and an amp which is loud, has some crunch but not saturated. And the pick perpendicular to the strings played with a strong attack.

I love Fripp but he needs to quit overpowering everybody with his high note feedback and do some riffin Get in the pocket get in the groove and do something cool Fripp can be an asshole sometimes

[@VolodyaVolodenka1981]

by his legacy, you can see he’s listened to a lot of what you say

[@TheVikingBlues]

Interesting, I feel like his playing is the icing on the cake.

[@sevenchambers]

I think the high note feedback adds to the intensity.

[@kevintewey1157]

Tghen who would he be? Not Robert Fripp.😢

[@ManfredFechter-kc7iy]

Reason: Soul talkin'! That was the short version of my comment; i would always humbly listen to critics (when they stay fair...); but if he WANTS it that way at THAT time, just let him be... Future music comes out of this "mistake(s)', we all DO, (i think), although we know it better, but we have to act like that, to make it better/different next time. I often think, not only with music: "How could i be such a BLOCKHEAD?!" Answer from above: "It's the best you can do at the moment, although you suffer and don't understand it yet...; Blessings grow out of that pain" of "not right, what am i doin' here, but i HAVE to!" (does ANYONE understand what i mean?). Blessings to U!
