This was announced a month ago, but I've just learned that King Crimson will be touring in 2014 in North America

"The line-up consists of drummers Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, and Pat Mastelotto; bassist Tony Levin; saxophonist Mel Collins; and guitarists Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp."

I would love to see one of these shows. I'm a big fan of King Crimson live recordings, and I'm sure the show they put on will be incredible. My aunt saw them a while ago in Germany, and she said it was mentally exhausting to listen to, due to the nature of the music and it's crazy complexity.

I am disappointed at the lack of an Adrian Belew, but Tony Levin is there.

Anyone else want to see one of these shows?

That's real shame. A reunion of Belew, Fripp, Bruford and Levin would amazing. Absent Lovers is my favorite live album.

Damn, Adrian Belew sat out the Nine Inch Nails tour only to get snubbed by Fripp? That SUCKS...
