toneknob Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I was at Brighton on Saturday. No spoilers but you're in for some hot tickles. (Setlists from the tour so far are available at setlist.fm and dgmlive.com for the curious). Full steam ahead for Hackney tomorrow. Kick off is very soon after the advertised 7.30, and there's no interval nor support. I suspect my journey home from Brighton to SW London will be faster than my journey home from Hackney.

ras52 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 +1. Somehow I missed them in the Discipline era, but it was worth the 30-plus-year wait for them to return to the UK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well I enjoyed them last night at the Lowry. The three drummers worked really well to my ears. I think due to their tight rehearsal and arrangements. Also 'middle drummer' played a lot of mellotron on the older songs. Didn't think I'd get to hear 'Easy Money' live! It was great, as was 'Schizoid Man', 'Court of the Crimson King', 'Epitaph' and the mighty 'Starless'. As near to a greatest hits tour that Fripp will do. Winning back his rights to his royalties probably influenced his decision. Anywho Tony Levin was on top form equipped with Salmon 5-string MM and his 4-string with 'Three of a Perfect Pair' paint job. And his stick and EUB (Steinberger?). Well done all concerned...

toneknob Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Great show at Usher Hall last night, sound was the best so far of the three gigs I've seen. (I had a quick hello with the soundman, and said well done on what must be a really hard show to balance what with the three drummers. he said "yeah this room's a bit live to be honest" - but that meant all the saxes and the bass were a lot better presented, bass and the lower saxes tended to mud out at previous shows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 From the grand circle I thought Levin's upright and stick could have been a bit more 'forward'. Otherwise, what a fantastic show!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
