Here’s the announcement that’s played twice before the band come on stage during the 2014 tour. There’s a rumour circulating that one Crim mentioned he'd like to take a baseball bat the nuts of those snapping pix and recording but that this however was excised from the final edit.
Expurgated or not, the message from all of the Crims couldn’t be clearer: please embrace the moment, please come and *be* with the band and not with your smart phone and other weapons of mass distraction.
Please feel free to download this audio clip and share it on your twitter account, Facebook, blog or webpage.

Like the thought, but, then, I have a proposition for Fripp.
I mostly agree with this's "assessment" of why not to take photo's and videos. But, then, if people didn't make Audio Recordings of the Early Concerts, even up through the 80's, then, many of them wouldn't be here today to listen to. Albeit, a Phone or ESPECIALY an iPad are more distracting than an audio recorder, but, same principle. And, if you're going to tell people not to record, and take down even the smallest piece of video found on Youtube, then, at least be kind enough to release ALL fu...

And, if you're going to tell people not to record, and take down even the smallest piece of video found on Youtube, then, at least be kind enough to release ALL full concerts, and, record them all with full audio and video. I know, in 2014-2021, all concerts were recorded, same with 90's and 2000's, but, before that, no. Now, of course, before then, you didn't really have easily accessible distracting recorders, but, again, RELEASE FULL CONCERTS SOON AFTER. Don't wait until 10 years later when the concert has been mostly forgotten, and, some of the people who were there are no longer a living being on this earth, but soon after the concert, and, the full concert, too. Of course, I'm a few years late to be saying that, but, now, please, release most concerts FULLY! Other than that argument waiting to happen, The assessment it petty good.

Toronto fan attended Albany gig
Awesome show! The 7 hour drive was well worth it. If there are no Canadian gigs, then the Canadian must go to Crim!

Why no Canadian gigs!!
I’m pretty aware that this will not be posted but so be it..After years and from many avid fans here in Toronto why would King Crimson not play Toronto but see fit to play Albany NY? Signed not so Starless in TO Jeff Levinson
