"In The Court Of The Crimson King" Live 2005 | Greg Lake

Don't expect a note-for-note rendition but it wouldn't have any purpose if it were.  You're supposed to take the music somewhere else Junger Musiker and not just copy it.




"In the Court of the Crimson King" is likely the common piece to any freak thread and going way back.  Lake follows it with "21st Century Schizoid Man" and that was another required component of freakdom.

Just as krautrock was, in large part, a response to guitar-heavy American rock bands, King Crimson had to have been driven at least in part by lyrics such as 'she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.'  They just weren't having any of that.

Wave that freak flag high.  Things were only kind of crazy back then but madness is running in the streets now.

Ed:  in a million psychedelic colors

Yah, groovy, isn't it.  We did a fine job, my brothers and sisters.

Ed:  we didn't do it!

I know but it's fun to pretend.  Heya, freaks, we wrecked the world.  Yep, it was us.  Take a bow, my beloved brothers and sisters.
