King Crimson (Oh no not another Prog thread)

....but don't forget the great fripp solo album
exposure
and don't forget
sunday all over the world
and don't forget
the robert fripp string quintet "the bridge beetween"
and don't forget
the sylvian fripp albums
the league of gentleman album
and the 3 eno fripp albums

... and also don't forget the many and varied guest spots with other artists (my personal favourite being the solo on "Hammond Song" by the Roches - shivers down the spine every time).

Regards,

Derek.

KC is my all-time favorite. nobody better than Fripp. Saw them live, 1973, at the Berkley Community Center.(before most of you were born!)

Berkley Community Center? 73? You old hippie you!
Actually, I'd been 8 years old back then and my fist visit of Berkley (which I quite liked, btw) was 19 years in the future...
I'm jealous though. There's been a lot going on in the bay area (well, not only there) back then.

KC is my all-time favorite. nobody better than Fripp. Saw them live, 1973, at the Berkley Community Center.(before most of you were born!) The opening act was a little 4-piece who had just put out there first album. the 4-piece was the Eagles! interesting opening act for KC... it was Fripp, Wetton, Bruford and Cross. can still picture them on stage doing Easy Money...

I guess they could have teamed up for a tune... 'Take it Easy Money'...

Actually Eagles got a bit of a bum rap with there support - they were the support act for Jethro Tull as well, at a time when Tull played 'We used to know', which has a very particular chord progression... Which turned up on a little ditty called 'Hotel California', and they didn't even change the key!! The HC guitar solo sounds remarkably similar to the JT one, only without so much Wah, and in 4/4 rather than JT's 6/8..

Anyway this is a KC fred, so I'll keep my distractions to a minimum!

You forgot my favourite Fripp album The League of Crafty Guitarists, fantastic minimalist stuff.

in case you don't know "the bridge beetween", listen to it it's a wonderfull album too (very overlooked)

with some fabulous fripp solos


in more recent "less known" release (1999) I also like
gunn-rieflin-fripp "repercusion of an angelic behaviour"
(in a same vein as the projekcts)
with very large fripp solo too (sometime too short for me in crimson studio album :emoticon(':?'))
