Singer-guitarist Jakko Jakszyk tells UCR that King Crimson's Music Is Our Friend Tour, currently in North America, with Japanese dates later in the year, will be the last for what has been, to date, the band's longest-running incarnation at nearly eight years.

"Management has said it's very unlikely we'll be back in America," Jaksyzk reveals. "I think they thought announcing it as a kind of farewell tour was a tacky device, and something you end up potentially regretting if you change your mind. But in essence, as I understand it, this'll be the last time we play here."

Their Manager David Singleton has also been quoted as stating that recently. It appears that they're not ruling out some dates in Europe or the uk, but I'm glad I got to see them this time around because I will probably never get to see this incarnation of the band again. I have now seen them in concert six times spread across six decades, and these last two shows with the seven man lineup, were the best.

I saw them in Denver on Monday and it was great as usual. My first show was in 2017, and third (and final?) was this past Monday.

Under Nashville, in the first picture after 'And Afterward...' we (son and I) are visible on the far left edge. I'm wearing KC 2014 shirt (atomic elements squares) with phone in my face.

The music they made is for the ages. I wish I had bought those big box sets that came out over the last decade. Some of them are getting rare. What would be cool is if they come out with a mega-box that encompasses everything 1969 through The Scarcity of Miracles.

Start saving your money and be ready to order what you want.
They are coming, according to archivist Alex Mundy on the DGM site.

Individually.
There will never be a mega-box of all of them together, there's no point.
Nobody would be able to afford it, anyhow.


No sets available just as I had the money to pay

• We know that many people have been frustrated by the current/recent unavailability of many of the boxed sets, catalogue and vinyl releases.
• We do expect all of these to be available again relatively soon.
• Sadly, a combination of manufacturing issues caused by Covid and Brexit, global demand for new vinyl and some complex warehouse moves, have meant that new stock is delayed while existing stock is only gradually becoming available to us.
• While annoying and frustrating for all concerned, these are relatively short-term problems which we are working to rectify.
• We will make an announcement as soon as normal service is resumed.

I've heard about this. If it turns out to be their Final tour in the U.S., King Crimson is going out it style. I'll be seeing them next month (if all goes well).

Out of circulation perhaps, never going out of style.

If anyone lives near Saratoga Springs and is interested in a free ticket for Monday 8/23. let me know.

Sorry for the really short notice.

Sorry you won't be able to see them. I just sent a note to a friend in that area, stay tuned

 

[timbre4]

Just thought of another friend as backup in case #1 can't make it.

Thanks

On this day in 1972, my life was transformed after seeing King Crimson in concert.

On this day in 2021, King Crimson played their final note onstage.

It's been an incredible journey.

Profound thanks to all those who've taken part in the adventure & made it so special.

Had tickets to see them before the world blew up, but I blew up, so ate that ticket. Had a great seat for this tour, but Covid was bad here at the time, so ate that ticket. Guess it wasn’t meant to be.
