When Robert Fripp convened an early rehearsal for this King Crimson sextet at my house in the mid-1990s, my percussive colleague Pat Mastelotto and I had never met. I asked him what instrument he was going to be playing. He explained he was also playing tubs - we were to be a two-drummer outfit. That’s a curve ball, right there, but we got right down to it. We were from very different backgrounds and experiences, and brought different skills and enthusiasms to the table. Pat was from a solid L.A.-rock background. Loud and consistent, he hit ‘em hard and in a way that discouraged surprises. Me: the closet jazzer, seduced by progressive rock, lighter in style, with a taste for the unlikely, the unpredictable and the odd-meter.
We spent a lot of time in the back of the bus, wood-shedding fun things to do with two drum kits, like metrical wheels-within-wheels (B’Boom; Sex, Sleep, Eat, Drink, Dream), or displacing the rhythm so I play the same thing as Pat but a note or two later (Dinosaur, Vrooom), or playing two meters simultaneously (Thrak). The only thing was we didn’t want to do was sound like two guys trying to play the same thing, but not quite making it.
What was Marine 475? It was an insurance syndicate at Lloyds of London, the world's specialist insurance and reinsurance market. Unfortunately, King Crimson’s management firm had invested their artists’ royalties in Marine 475 without the artists’ knowledge or consent, just months before this high-risk business went belly-up. The downward spiral of the ponderous riff that constitutes the last couple of minutes of this video effectively conveys that sinking feeling as a man watches his hard-earned cash go down the tubes.
I remember, absurdly, having trouble finding something to play here; by which I guess I meant, finding something of value to contribute. Or did I mean, more honestly, something that might attract the attention of my fellow musicians, and confirm me in my position as an influencer, a player? Coda: Marine 475 was too straight - backbeat in 4/4 - how can I make this work for me? Couldn’t think of a thing, but the answer was right in front of me. You exist to play the music; the music doesn’t exist for your benefit, dummy. I’ve known this fact, intellectually, for years, but my ego did its best to obscure it. It can be a collaborative musician’s constant battle: keeping his or her ego out of the way sufficiently to play the right thing for the song. All I had to do was play what was in front of me. It worked out just fine.
Part of the attraction of moving towards jazz and improvised music in my later career was to lessen the perceived obligation (that my position as an ex-rock star had lumbered me with) to ‘entertain’ the paying customer with something other than music performance. If s/he’s paying north of 100 bucks for a ticket in a 10,000-seat room, this person not unreasonably wants something that looks like a show: lights, smoke, cameras, action, bells, whistles.
At the other end of the spectrum, small club entertainment is to be found in proximity. The small gestures of the performers, their obvious commitment to and enthusiasm for the music, written all over their clearly-visible faces, the beads of sweat, the way they handle their instruments - these things don’t have to be provided by trucks and take days to set up; they have a powerful entertainment value all of their own. They don’t have to be summoned or ‘acted’ by the performer; a good performance just carries them within. The music is offered, accepted, or rejected as is. Clean and tidy, that.

Saw this one in Denver, great show. Afterwards was in the bar where the band stayed and saw Bill come in and go to the bar for a drink, thought about asking if I could pay for it but didn't want to bother him as he was not dawdling and appeared to not want conversation. He took it to go. Adrian Belew however drank in the bar and my friends and me introduced ourselves and we're invited to sit down and drank with Adrian for an hour or two.

Oh yeah! What a great connection to make. The Beatles always inhabit a corner of Crimson, and it's fun to listen for them ("Dinosaur" seemed especially Beatles-ish to me this evening) -- though I guess the Beatles inhabit a corner of everything that followed them, pretty much.

That show was the very first time that I got to see King Crimson live, having only started to delve into their music in the early 90’s. I figured I had missed my opportunity to ever see them play live. This was like a religious experience for a young musician such as myself, just in my mid 20’s. I had originally heard them first when I put their debut album on when I discovered it in David Mello’s (of Operation Ivy) collection. As I was branching out from punk rock and exploring other types of music. I revisited their music beginning with Islands. Next it was Starless and Bible Black, In the Wake of Poseidon, and then Thrak came out! Not only that, but the California Guitar Trio opened this show. I walked out into the lobby way in stunned silence. I actually fumbled on my words when I got the CGT CD. Ha ha! I was just floating! I don’t even remember if I went with a friend, or if I was alone. I must have taken public transportation if I went alone but everything after the show was a blur. One might think I was under the influence, but I know that I was not. Just high on music. It’s really the best altered state.

@@ninjaking2548 Well personally you’ve missed the boat. We all know the final period leading to Red was the best. Doesn’t need repeating. I barely include the last stuff as Crimson. Jakko Jakszyk is a talented guy, but was just a hired hand. Belew was the only guitarist and songwriter that could and would stand up to Fripp’s latent tendencies towards megalomania to create truly original material. Post Thrak and Bruford things went a little sideways.

@@AudioAtmos Check out “A Scarcity of Miracles” by Jakyzyk, Fripp, Collins, Harrison, and Levin. This is essentially a modern era KC album which shows the potential of Jakyzyk and the modern lineup. Bruford is one of the best drummers of all time, so him leaving obv made a major impact, but A Scarcity of Miracles is a million times better than KCs last 2 official releases, and debatably better than the discipline era stuff (I personally prefer it, but I hate Talking Heads so it makes sense why I dislike the discipline era). THRAK is pretty amazing tho, prob my 5th fav KC album behind ITCOTCK and the Wetton era.

I thought for sure and was worried they were going to leave but so glad they came back!! The Dallas Ft. Worth area was especially happy because we got robbed at ABWH - they cancelled because Tony Levin was down w/ the flu so this was quite the show to be anticipated!! The sound and acoustics couldn't be better - Goosebumps the whole time.

Vrooom and it's coda should always be heard together just like it was when first released on the VROOOM E.P. One of the most annoying things about Thrak was the unnecessary splitting of tracks (VROOOM, VROOOM VROOOM and most egregiously Inner Garden). There alos was no reason to add a verbal element (thankfully missing here) to the VROOOM coda (or even worse to the Lark's IV coda later on).
