The Crimson ProjeKct

[geofmcm]

Basically the Two of a perfect Trio six piece.

Touring to support dream theatre. There are quite concerts on Dime now some of excellent quality, it's basically a 50+ min set.

I have listened to a couple of these and think that the versions on here are better than the versions of those songs on the Chicago 2008 kccc.

I always felt that Gavin Harrison brought a rocky heavy metal feel to that version whereas the Crimson projeKct with Tobias as the second drums has a more percussive feel to it.

I also think that a year on from the TofaPT tour they work more now as a band and sound less like a tribute act. The group are giving the songs there own little tweeks and touches.

Lets hope that this unit continues and maybe produce some work of their own.

Since Crimson is quite clearly no longer an active concern for Fripp, this would be pretty cool. I certainly wouldn't mind hearing this group tear through a bunch of new Adrian songs on a studio album...

I saw them last year touring as the "Two of a Perfect Trio" . . . wish I could have seen them, and DT, this go-round . . . I'll be looking for the shows on DIME . . . :)

Cool - thanks for the link!

I don't see why Robert wouldn't bless their going on as a recording and live unit. Or he could work with Markus on recording parts and then just let Markus tour.

[tardistraveler]

This current incarnation does have Robert's blessing. And as long as they didn't call it "King Crimson", he'd probably be OK with their producing some new music. He and Adrian would have to work all that out.

Pulling this down now, along with the Dream Theater set - this is the show I had hoped to go to, being the closest one to Nashville, so I'm stoked to hear both these sets! Thanks so much . . .

Both bands were outstanding Friday night in DC!

[captain2man]

I saw them last night on an off-night from the Dream Theater tour - at an interesting venue - the Beekman Beer Garden - which is located right on the water by the South Street Seaport - just south of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tony Levin's Stickmen opened up (and played two KC songs.....as well as a Fripp solo song.....and then their own stuff) followed by the Adrian Belew Power Trio (no KC songs during the set - but I liked the tunes).

The show was closed out by all six members of those two ensembles together for the Crimson set.

Pure excellence.

I know better than to expect a well-rounded set from the KC catalog (something I'd absolutely love but I know I won't get)......but they were absolutely excellent.

Even better - I get to see them again tonight open for DT in Huntington!

Crimson's setlists are well-rounded for 1981 and on. 1969-74, not so much! (Which is fine with me.)

[Matt aka Patrick]

Yeah. They are playing Bearsville in Woodstock on Thursday Aug. 23rd. Probably cant' go( "*&^!!@#$%^^&*((" exhale reload "%^&$^&((**"!!!! ) but I'll see. Bearsville Theatre is an awesome venue, the vibes there are great (maybe Steve Howe Trio would be an approiate act for them?) Matt

[YESOLA]

Yeah had to miss this when they were in my area, which of course , had me bummed.

New Belew interview over at Progsheet on the ProjeKct. A couple of obvious questions concerning the ProjeKct answered.... Thanks, Matt
