Make up your goddamn mind Robert Fripp 
As much as many of us would want the band to live on forever, one minute it's over then the next minute it's on tour  |

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

^Well, I suppose that if Belew and his pals didn't tour as "Crimson Projekt", Fripp would have gladly enjoyed retirement - except that he would have spent his days asking YouTube to erase unauthorised live videos of KC instead of cultivating flowers and resolving murder mysteries like any good over-sixty-years old British people do.

Yeah, it's confusing. There have been a few bands that have done similar things, promote your big farewell tour then get back together and tour again the next year
But Belew can sure put on a good show

^ Awesome. I was considering going to Terra Incognita in May to get my live prog fix for the year, but I think I'll just save up and catch one of those early July shows instead.

I saw them back in the 80s 3 times. It was nice to have consistency in the lineup. Wish I could have seen them '73-'74 the ultimate lineup. I like the more compact KC lineups. When Fripp started with the double trio sh*t I went.. whaaaat? This double quartet crap is just King Crimson in name. Crimson belonged to an era. They also fit in nicely from 1980-84. Now it's just a conflagration. Whoever Fripp can get. Not saying it will be sh*t but don't look at it as KC per se. Might go to the Toronto show if my schedule permits.

Assuming it's affordable, I'll hopefully be making the Seattle show.

Saw KC in San Fransisco at the Warfield in 2014. If memory serves, tickets were something like $85 or $90.

Ticketb*****d got hammered by bots the first day of sale for the Toronto show as well. I took the day off work & sat
refreshing the screen for most of the day, watching each pair of
prime, clicked-upon seats I reserved disappear as the software
refused to complete every transaction. By mid afternoon I gave up refreshing and ordered by phone. Ticketb*****d's voice recognition robot offered me seats that were as far
away from the band as you could get without standing outside the
venue. Bitterly disappointed. Resale tickets at 2 to 5 times purchase price were already offered online before noon. Ticketb*****d 'limiting' purchases to 8 tickets per person probably didn't help matters for fans like me, who only wanted a pair.

Didn't your areas have a pre-sale? I got a presale for the Denver show; Row 5 in the right (left?) side of the stage.

When I go on it says general sales don't start until March 17. I'm confused. Then again, $37 for rear balcony and $100 to be close? Sort of less than enthusiastic about that price, even for the Moore...even for Fripp's Crimson.
