I second Frippertron's post. The Great Deceiver is simply out of this world - worth every single eurocent.

Of course, as a subscriber to the DGMLive RSS feed, I already knew all of this .
Keep up the good work Sid! I love what DGMLive does, even if I've only grabbed a few shows. It's good to know that I am on top of all matters KC, and that I can grab a show or two, and give Robert and the crew some well-earned money, whenever I get the desire. I'm particularly enjoying having the complete ProjeKct One, as each show is different and quite thrilling. |

Glad to know you're enjoying DGMLive Rileydog.
re the Great Deceiver: the music is exactly the same. so if you own the original you do not need to grab the reissue. |

Ending weeks of speculation in various online
communities, Robert Fripp has revealed in his latest online diary that
drummer Gavin Harrison (of Porcupine Tree) will be joining King
Crimson.
The band will be playing a series of live dates in Chicago's Park West - most recently the venue to RF and the LoCG appearance in the windy city. Fripp notes "Park West is a fave venue, and one I have been working for 27 years. The LCG were here in 1989 & 1990…This is also the venue where, according to our current plans for King Crimson's return to active-service in 2008, preparatory to the 40th. Anniversary Celebration of 2009, The Beast Of Crim will be playing a 4-night residency in August 2008 with KC's third double-drumming formation. The first formation: Jamie Muir & Bill Bruford (1972-73); the second formation: Pat Mastelotto & Bill Bruford (1994-97); the third formation: Pat Mastelotto & Gavin Harrison. A fourth double-drumming formation, of 1981-84 (Adrian & Billy), doesn't quite count as Adrian's primary focus was in the front line." Harrison is one of the most respected drummers of his generation, adding a prodigious technique to the work of Porcupine Tree as well collaborating with Jakko Jakszyk on The Bruised Romantic Glee Club, and most recently, Drop - an album with bassist and singer, 05Ric and also featuring contributions from Fripp. Latest music on the site is Exposure rehearsals with Phil COllins and John Wetton http://www.dgmlive.com/archive.htm?artist=22&show=1213 And a chance to win yourself a copy of the newly reissued Great Deceiver 2x2 CD set All you need to do to be in the running for one of the finest releases that DGM have ever issued is answer this one paltry question: who was the sound engineer on tour with Crimso when these concerts were recorded? By George, I told you it was paltry. Send your answer to competitions at dgmlive dot com with TGD in the subject (lest you be spammed out) and we'll announce the name of the lucky winner on Thursday 22nd November. You can read my take on this reissue over on the blog http://sidsmith.blogspot.com/2007/10/king-crimson-great-deceiver-vol-i-ii.html |
