Favourite King Crimson moment

Was at that same show, but I didn't close my eyes. Mel was a special treat for sure.

Hard to choose a single moment, wish I could go favorite moment album by album. Cause I love me some Bruford gonna say those deliciously nasty cymbal sounds on the Red album, particularly from the eponymous track and One More Red Nightmare.

Running into RF in the lobby of the University of Calif. San Diego basketball gym some 45 minutes before the Discipline show. Yawn if you recall me spinning this yarn in a past thread, but the place was just silly with concert goers, and here's Fripp casually strolling by seemingly unnoticed by everyone but myself. As I had previously inhaled a six pack of Bud out in the parking lot during the previous hour, I was both waylaid and giddy to have spotted him (I think if I had blinked, I would have missed him). I sobered up just long enough to spout something drab like, "I hope you have a great show tonight, Mr. Fripp!" before jutting out my hand. He graciously shook it, crinkled his eyes, and smiled warmly before breezing on by me. Two associates of mine later claimed they had run into him and another gentleman on the side of the gym earlier in the evening and tried to get both an autograph and a handshake and were denied both.
