Their first album, In Court of the Crimson King, co-produced by Greg, featured the iconic song "21st Century Schizoid Man." King Crimson pioneered progressive rock and paved the way for famous bands that followed, including Yes and Genesis all the way through to bands such as The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and countless others.

Yea but a Dead show was more than just a concert. It was a cultural event. I saw both ELP and ELO live in the late 70's. Both had two of the best light shows I ever saw at concert. They don't emphasize light shows at rock concerts like they used too. Was that a hippy thing?
true. I was expecting some hits at the Dead show,and they went into a jam..The best light show I ever saw was Wings tour Over America-
at least the first time I saw laser lights * and was was heavily tripping..so maybe that* ..Heck we can't even light up lighters anymore!
It's all about business now-the shows used to support the album releases-now it's $1000 tix..

Andy Sumner mainly known for his time withe the Police. If you don't know who Fripp is you need to find out.
Yes. The music is center stage now.

He is just taking the piss, that's Mott for you!!
You didn't like "Live Dead?" Even the cover made it interesting, not great musically, but put in the correct time frame and setting, it's classic, first time most of America heard "Dark Star," flaws and all
And your correct, the Who were never punk, latter Townsend trying to pass them off as such in reaction to the Punk popularity in London.
Dude I was one of the freaks at Dead shows, I am sure we met at some point if you went to a few shows. Never did a show not tripping though. Did they really suck?
Just kidding I love listening to the Dead on the radio too. I guess if I wasn't totally shattered I wouldn't have wanted to be there.

You might have noted it's progressive rock, art rock is more Boy George.
And all music is about the music never the listener.

So what about when they used to smash up their instruments in the early days at the Marquee Club?

Not everyday that you'd see Greg Lake and Ian Anderson playing together.

Nice ! Thx for posting
depends on the acid...the speedy crappy stuff didn't go well with the Dead.
I never had clinical -i did get a lot of 4 way windowpane which was pure enough. I appreciate the Dead more now then I did then.
But I still love the classical trained musicians/influences of ELP .
