Great Gigs in the Cloud: Episode 2

As promised on the first edition of these series "Great Gigs in the Cloud", published on last year's December (Boy,amazing how fast time flies by!), I will continue sharing with you special treats made available to us all, and hopefully live long beyond our short terminal existence on this planet with the advent of clouding, thanks to the 21st century computing technology!

As a side note, are we reaching kurzweil's singularity thesis faster than anyone thought? 

I'll come back to this later on...

Well as I've been babbling up until now about the present and the future, let's travel back in time and enjoy this little marvel, only a 29 minutes piece, recorded back in 74 live in Paris for the french television program "Live Melody", that is an absolute bliss.

Doesn't Fripp freak you out when he looks back at you with those creepy eyes? 

Does he hate the camera starring at him or the "virtual" audience, i.e., the inexistence of it?  :)

For GAR2014

I'd like to take this opportunity to challenge you, as I have no facebook account, to create an online petition on Gouveia Art Rock's page on facebook, requiring the presence of King Crimson on next year's edition!

Only then will GAR reach its ultimate status quo!

As some close friends of mine say when they mean they are being serious, there is no question about it, PERIOD,     

!PIM!

Well, I'm not being fair at all... To be honest, I really have to congratulate GAR's organization for the marvelous work they have done over the years organizing and bringing such great names to our country. Kudos for you all!

But please try bringing KC to this special event!

And, I think I can speak for the most part of the attendees, we don't even postulate the presence on any specific iteration / formation of KC...

Should at least the following be present, I would be more than satisfied:

Robert Fripp,
Peter Sinfield, 
Greg Lake, 
Michael Giles, 
Ian McDonald, 
Mel Collins, 
Gordon Haskell, 
Andy McCulloch, 
Bill Bruford, 
John Wetton, 
David Cross, 
Jamie Muir, 
Trey Gunn, 
Peter Giles, 
Keith Tippett, 
Mark Charig, 
Robin Miller, 
Nick Evans, 
Jon Anderson, 
Rick Kemp, 
Harry Miller, 
Paulina Lucas, 
Hunter MacDonald, 
Richard Palmer-James, 
Eddie Jobson,

Ok, ok... Here's my proposal. Let's do a special GAR Edition made of no more than several KC lineups :)


No, I did not forgot to mention Boz Burrell nor Ian Wallace. I simply didn't mentioned them as they've unfortunately already passed away...

Oh, by the way... Why not also challenge Ian McDonald & Micheal Giles on doing a gig for us in GAR?

Wouldn't that be a treat!

Unfortunately, I don't believe Giles would still be up for the challenge... the man is already in is 21st century 70's!

And with this final remark I close the kurzweil circle ;)
