King Crimson

The only knowledge I had of King Crimson was my first LP bought self titled Bad Company, and reading the bass player Boz came from Crimson. Fast forwarded 50 years and I am now hearing for the first time "in the court of the Crimson King". I know I wouldn't have liked what I love today, when I was 13. Amazing players and composers! Court is not dismissed, please remain seated.

Never too late to discover the classics. My tastes keep me going backwards time, which means I have the rest of my life finding "new music."

Boz Burrell untfortunately, had a short time on this earth

Hard to imagine how you could have missed them at that time.

I was in college, at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in the late 1970s, and had a bunch of friends who were way into progressive rock, so I knew, and loved, King Crimson from back in the day. Had the great good pleasure of seeing them on the Discipline tour, too -- awesome show. I've continued to listen to them over the years, always standing (or sitting) in amazement. Yes, enjoy what's ahead. And do turn it up!
