A little after 8 pm, the band walked out onstage and began. With that, the audience could become immersed in the world of King Crimson. Prior to coming out on stage, a recording of Robert Fripp played on the speakers- asking for the audience to not take any pictures or videos until the very end of the show. Over the speakers, the eerie sounds of what sounded like fingers rubbing wine glasses filled throughout the venue. From teenagers probably attending their first Crimson concert to veteran fans donning shirts of album covers and previous tours, the band certainly pulls in a unique group of people. Looking around the place, there were concert goers of all ages. Mel Collins- saxophone/flute (in the band 1970-72 on Lizard and Islands)Ĭoming into the Met in Philadelphia, it was quite the experience. Tony Levin- bass (joined in 1981 for Discipline and in/out of the band onward) Jakko Jakszyk- guitar/vocals (since 2013) Robert Fripp- guitar/keyboards/electronic The band would reunite sporadically afterwards in each of the following decades, releasing at least one studio album in each (sans the 2010s). In their original run from 1969 to 1975, the band released seven studio albums. In their years together, the band have been through many line up changes- with guitarist/co-founder Robert Fripp being the band’s sole consistent member.
