King Crimson

Expand

In the pantheon of progressive rock, few albums were more influential than King Crimson’s 1969 debut In the Court of the Crimson King, an ambitious fusion of rock, classical and symphonic music that helped pave the way for some of the genre’s greatest works in the ’70s. King Crimson hasn’t released a new studio album since 2003’s The Power to Believe, a dense, psychedelic work that did justice to the band’s heyday albums, but even as they near their 50th anniversary they’ve continued to tour heavily, still led after all these years by frontman and founder Robert Fripp. The eight-piece lineup for this tour also includes bassist Tony Levin, singer/guitarist Jakko Jakszyk and flute and sax player Mel Collins.
