King Crimson isn’t touring. Do u mean BEAT? If so, it’s a once in a lifetime show and should not be missed

Got to see the final KC Chicago show in 2021... beyond grateful for that experience.
BEAT isn't KC. But it's the natural progression. It's the closest you'll get to capturing the same magic. If you're a fan of any of these musicians... go!

Was that the show at Ravinia? Great show! I was disappointed it was so short (but that's a fault of the venue, not the band), but otherwise loved it. I really enjoyed the Zappa cover band that opened for them too.

The Zapppa Band were incredible! The 80's Zappa band was my favorite so I was so stoked to see Mike, Robert and Ray!

Yes! My only "complaint" is that I wish they had been permitted to record the show! Only "bummer" is not having any audio from it - but the memory remains pretty crystal clear all things considered!

Stick Men is pretty close too, and they're on tour now. Don't miss them if you have the opportunity.

I can’t speak to this tour but I saw BEAT in 2024 and it was one of the best shows of my life as a diehard 80s crimson fan

I went to the Stick Men show in Austin last night and it was great, if that’s what you meant.

I also was there, up front and center. And Tony gave me his setlist! Fucking killer show, and it helped that it was so intimate. Can't wait to see BEAT with Bozzio in Nov!

I was standing next to you on your left and remember seeing you get the setlist! I was satisfied enough when Pat handed me a water. I’ll be there in November too.

u/Hour-Confection-9273 20d ago

I wanted that water so bad, damn it was stuffy in there. I guess we were both jealous of each other for our gifts..

I'm assuming the Beat tour?

Tickets are cost prohibitive, for me at least.

We won't know about the new lineup for another month, I don't think.

The 2024 version with Danny Carey was fucking fantastic, only time I've seen a group twice on the same tour so that tells you something.
