I was in Seattle Monday and Tuesday, in town to see the final show of the King Crimson Elements tour. Tickets went on sale June 6 at 10 a.m.; by 10:03 I’d purchased two—one for me, the other for my 17-year-old son. The four-month wait was almost unbearable, but for two glorious hours, from “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic, Part One” to a blistering encore of “21st Century Schizoid Man,” well…all was right with the world.
Tony Levin took some photographs after the show. Think you can spot me in the crowd? Tell you what: I’ll send you a bag of official helveticka blend coffee if you’re successful.
