Thanks for starting this thread!!!
As a result, I found this rare jem, King Crimson playing "Sartori In Tangier", with Robert Fripp on lead guitar, and Adrian Belew (of Talking Heads, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, and Nine Inch Nails fame), playing the stick (who remembers the stick, LOL?):
The songs I have posted videos of are more obscure King Crimson (except by hardcore fans). Here are two videos that is more typical of the band, and what they are most famous for...
"In The Court of the Crimson King":

I get a buzz just listening to one of their most famous songs, "21st Century Schizoid Man":
The simple, yet sublime lyrics:
Quote:
Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.
