2 nights at Fox in Oakland. I should really catch them this time around.

I can't recommend seeing this incarnation of KC enough. The majority of their setlist consists of songs from the original KC run from 1969 to 1974. Only a couple Belew era songs. Honestly not complaining. I like most of the Belew stuff, but some of it is pretty dopey. In The Court of the Crimson King through Red is musical perfection.

I saw their first tour in 2014 at the Colonial Theater in Boston & their most recent tour in 2017 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. The latter holds the distinction of being the longest concert they've ever done. 26 songs at just about 3 hours.

Super pumped they're playing the Boch Center/Wang Theater this time. 3,500 capacity, not a bad seat in the house & perfect acoustics.

I would if they added some close dates.

[japeape]

I'm going to the show on September 19th (one day before my B-day), at the wang.

I've seen Fripp with his crafty league of guitarists, but never King Crimson.

September 5, 2019 by Paul Sinclair

50th anniversary reissue of the seminal debut • 2019 Steven Wilson mixes in 5.1 and stereo • New 2LP vinyl also available

King Crimson‘s 1969 debut album In The Court of the Crimson King is to be reissued as a Blu-ray+3CD edition and a double vinyl set, for its 50th anniversary.

The blu-ray features an enormous amount of content, including all new 2019 stereo and 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson (at 24/96 resolution), the original mix (the ‘master edition’) also at 24/96, a complete alternate version of the album comprising 2019 Steven Wilson mixes, 2019 instrumental mixes and more. This blu-ray is all-region and playable on all drives.

The three CDs in the box set feature the new 2019 Steven Wilson stereo mix, an exapanded edition of the alternate album in the blu-ray and the original master edition of the 1969 mix plus additional tracks. Full track listings and details below.

In terms of packaging the four discs are presented into two card gatefold sleeves which sit alongside a booklet within a rigid exterior slipcase. New sleeve-notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith feature in the booklet.

The 50th anniversary double vinyl edition of In The Court of the Crimson King features Steven Wilson’s new 2019 stereo mix on the first record with the alternate album with tracks mixed by Wilson and David Singleton. These are pressed on 200g vinyl and have been cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering from original 24/96 high-resolution source files.

Also, the artwork for both Bluray/CD and vinyl has been derived from the original paintings and has been meticulously restored.

Note, all material on this blu-ray+3CD package will feature on the forthcoming Complete 1969 Sessions – the eighth boxed set in the series documenting King Crimson’s studio & live recordings from 1969 onwards.

In The Court of the Crimson King is reissued on 25 October 2019, via Panegyric. These can be pre-ordered from the SDE shop using this link

Bullet point summary:

Blu-Ray features a complete alternate album comprising 2019 mixes by Steven Wilson including a much extended duo version of ‘I Talk to The Wind’, a June 19th version of ‘The Court of the Crimson King’ from the band’s final day at Morgan studios in June 1969, an isolated voice dominant version of ‘Epitaph’ & a version of ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ which combines the Morgan studios instrumental with Greg Lake vocals from Wessex studios and August 2019 overdubs by Mel Collins & Jakko Jakszyk – the latter two mixed by David Singleton.

A further album’s worth of additional material drawn from studio takes – much of it mixed by Steven Wilson & including extracts from the ‘wind session’ that produced the intro to 21CSM in stereo for the first time, the single a/b sides of the album title track drawn, for the first time since on disc, from the original master tapes & more are also included.

The Blu-Ray is completed by a set of 2019 instrumental mixes and the surviving fragment of black & white footage from Hyde Park in 1969

This set marks the first appearance of the album on Blu-Ray completing the availability of all King Crimson studio albums on the format.

CD1 presents the album in its 2019 stereo mix – along with the 2019 instrumental takes (with ‘Moonchild’ edited to song length)

CD2 presents an expanded edition of the alternate album from the Blu-Ray
