I regret not seeing King Crimson before lockdown. My partner was not well, and I should have gone on my own.
Robert Fripp said the tours and rehearsals were becoming too exhausting. I have heard the rehearsals and sound test took about 4 hours for each show.
So now he does stuff with Toyah, which is not a bad thing but I like things with a bit of crunch, when I saw Robert and Fripp at a gig last year, there were too many covers. I was hoping for more classics from Toyah's back catalogue. It was still a fun evening, and my partner loved it, she still talks about it so I can't complain.
My partner took my Toyah records and added them to her collection.
I don't think Robert or Toyah understands the irony of Rockin' in the Free World by Neil Young. A lot of people missed the point of the song and it sounds like they still do. Like Born In The USA by Springsteen it's not a foot-stumping patriotic song either.
