waitingmanWell, as close as a resident of Australia can get to it... The Crimson Projekct are touring here early next year & it's as close to a King Crimson show as you can get without flying to the Americas... or maybe Europe
What we are getting is kind of a triple-header ~ Stick Men, featuring Tony Levin & Pat Mastelotto, both Crimson alumni, will play a set, followed by the Adrian Belew Power Trio, who have toured here before but are no less eagerly welcomed for that, will play a set. Then Belew, Levin & Mastelotto will play as a trio, followed by the two bands combining as a 'Double Trio' for a set of King Crimson material. All up, it's about a three hour gig &, as far as I'm concerned, that will be barely enough
So I'm going to both the Sydney show & the one in Brisbane the next night. Am I excited? Definitely!! Am I a kindasorta tragic fan? Probably... But I don't care. Bugger the expense, I'm getting a $3,000 tax return this month!!!!!
This more than makes up for the disappointment I felt when Adrian Belew dropped out of the Nine Inch Nails touring line-up that's coming to Australia in March... & it almost makes up for the disappointment that the King Crimson tour in late 2014 won't be coming anywhere near our little island
