In The Court Of King Crimson: An Observation Over 50 Years

2019 marks the 50th anniversary of King Crimson. First issued in 2001, Sid Smith's history of King Crimson is the definitive account of the band's lengthy history. Now completely revised with a host of new interviews and expanded to twice the original size, the writer brings the story right up to date finishing in April this year as the band rehearsed for it's 50th anniversary Celebration world tour. Sid Smith has had unprecedented access to interview members past and present - including fresh interviews with founder member (sole member for the band's entire history) Robert Fripp. Includes a track by track guide to all of King Crimson's studio recordings. Also includes a gigography which doubles as a guide to the many King Crimson live recordings available on disc and digitally. The band is about to finish a world tour of 50 dates including three sold out shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, a sold out show at New York's Radio City Music Hall & a performance at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival in front of an audience of 100,000 people & a further 10 million via TV broadcast.
