Io da ragazzo sentii #LarksTonguesInAspic in ordine non cronologico (ovvero cominciai dal part2, che rimane la mia preferita oggi) ma quando sentii la prima parte, rimasi letteralmente folgorato
Questo live da una vaga idea di cosa fossero in #KingCrimson all'epoca (#1972), ovvero uno dei pilastri del #progressive #sperimentale
Una cosa che mi ha colpito: le salopette di #BillBruford 😃
#kingcrimson #larkstonguesinaspic King Crimson, the progressive rock band around Robert Fripp (guitar) and - at that time - Bill Bruford (drums), live on 25.11.1972 at the Beat Club! Progressive Rock legend King Crimson, feat. Robert Fripp (guitar) and - at that time in lineup no. 3 - Bill Bruford on drums, live at the German Beat Club in autumn of 1972! The song "Larks's Tongues" is taken from the album by the same title, recently released in March 1973. It features influences of Heavy Metal, improvisation and complex structure - typically for King Crimson at early 1970s. The album is also the first part of a trilogy, followed by "Starless and Bible Black" and "Red" (both 1974).

This is a piece inspired and dedicated to Robert Fripp and the "New Language" he devised in 1971, when he started working towards what would become his "Larks' Tongues In Aspic". Often considered a sublime guitarist, to me Mr. Fripp is also one of my greatest influences, together with Frank Zappa and Gentle Giant.
Long live the Framer.
This is also the last track of my new album, which I am going to release soon.
"When the new idea comes
it often ties in with others, with old loves
of sounds ne'er forgotten, by now a part of you.
When the new idea comes
'tis like a trickle, a stream, joining the great river,
river of which you yourself, you now understand, are a part.
When the new idea comes
fever grips you, unstoppable voice, overpowering and overshadowing
All of what just before you sought.
When the new idea comes
you finally understand that those questions, those thoughts,
had but one and only one answer.
Music."
