A two-part question regarding King Crimson, now that a lot of their stuff is on iTunes and a bit more easily acquired. First, how is their music over the last 20-odd years? I grew up listening to my dad's vinyl copies of basically everything they did up through Three of a Perfect Pair, having practically destroyed the Frame by Frame CD set through 25+ years of overuse, and Red is one of my favorite albums. I've noticed a lot of people speaking highly of their stuff since the mid-90's, and that video someone posted of FraKctured seemed really interesting. Are there any albums or mixes that I should really look into (Or try and avoid) of their more recent stuff? Second, where would one start with their live stuff? I'm a huge fan of live albums, but with King Crimson all I've heard is a handful of odds and ends on YouTube, the fourth disc of Frame by Frame, and my dad's original vinyl of Earthbound. I'd be particularly interested in anything from the Red and Discipline eras, as well as anything that's just generally regarded as having either great sound quality or great performance.

That thing either had the greatest, most expensive sound system money can buy, or the worst stock, piece of crap ever offered by that model. There can be no in between. Would still listen to the entirety of Hemispheres on it.

King Crimson announced 2021 tour dates today. No word yet (That I've seen) on what's the deal if you bought tickets for a show and they've switched to a different venue in the same area...

Rust Martialis posted:"Anyone with an existing place reserved last year, who now needs to move to a different venue or apply for a refund, should contact iona@dgmhq.com." I’m pretty sure that just refers to the Royal Package referenced earlier in the same paragraph, not regular tickets bought elsewhere.

BigFactory posted:Someone dropped the ball on the Boston gig then. It’s the worst place to see a show inside city limits that’s not Fenway park or the hockey rink at BU. A big open outdoor tent next to a road and a wharf. On the plus side there are (lovely) tickets going for about $30 on Ticketmaster right now. Must be scalper tickets left over from the first run. I can’t imagine there are any venues bigger than this in Boston that they could reasonably fill. It’s 5,000 seat capacity. Theaters are in the 1000-2000 range, after that you’re getting into hockey rink territory. The situation for the South Florida shows isn't much better. They're going from a solid venue that had like 4000~ seats to one that I think is going to be less than 2000 on a flat lawn. The regular tickets aren't going to transfer over, since Ticketmaster is still considering the original event as just "postponed" so I have no idea when I'll actually get refunded for it, which is a bummer but thankfully not a huge hit considering I bought them in March 2020 just before everything went sideways. As much as I'd love to see them, an outdoor show in July isn't exactly appealing, never mind the further increased travel distance and whatnot, so unless the tickets are stupid cheap or I'm able to snag insanely good seats, I'll probably pass.

BigFactory posted:It’s possible the show didn’t sell very well at the bigger venue and there will be no problem transferring tickets? Extremely unlikely at this point. I already contacted both Ticketmaster and the new venue and they’re both saying pretty clearly so far that my tickets won’t transfer over. If they were going to, you’d think they’d have worked that out before the new show or sale date for tickets were announced (Presale for it is tomorrow, general sale Friday) or that it’d be mentioned literally anywhere. They’re being treated as completely separate shows.

They’re being treated as completely separate shows. Just to provide an ending to this, I predictably got an email today, 24 hours after the various pre-sales for the new show started and less than 24 hours before the general sale starts, that "your event has been cancelled" and I'll get a refund for my tickets originally purchased just before COVID became a thing last year.

Genesis releasing a boxset of live stuff.quote:Tony Banks curated 53-track 5-CD set containing previously unreleased Genesis recordings for the BBC, 1970-1998. There's also a 3 LP vinyl version but that's only 24-tracks. A few bits of it had already been released in other box sets, but it looks like the CD version includes the entirety of a 1980 show.

Rush has the 40th anniversary version of Signals on pre-order as of today. Doesn’t come with any extra live stuff like the last few of their 40th anniversary albums did, sadly. Still gonna get it cause I’m a dork and that’s my favorite albums of theirs.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:DC practically is already but there's an entire row already up for resale Yeah, the show near me was entirely sold out other than some super deluxe package stuff that started at like $250 (So figure probably $300+ with fees and taxes), and weren’t even in areas I’d want to sit which, nah, and some resale row that was in an okay section, but you don’t know exactly which seats you’re getting, just that if you get multiple they’ll be together, and those would still be like $200 each after Ticketmaster throws in their bullshit… …So anyway, I’m going with my dad in September . At least we know the venue has good sound and seats, we saw Al Di Meola there a few years back, so we said gently caress it.
