    If you do go, note that no gratuities are required:

    DGM has released the 20/12/2015 Toronto concert for download, here. Easy Money is a sample track at no charge, and the sound quality is excellent.

    Nice. Pity they didn't play a Dublin show.

    I'm not sure they've ever played here.
    Went through a list of tours and couldn't find a mention of Ireland.

    If you're heading to the UK later this year, there's a lineup change: drummer Bill Rieflin is taking a sabbatical, and will be replaced by Jeremy Stacey.

    Only thing I don't like about the new line up is the vocalist, I don't like his voice. Too "musical theatre" sounding.

    I understand why they didn't get Belew back in this line up, but they could do better than the bloke they got.

    Well, here's a turn-up for the books: King Crimson on Spotify

    Not their whole catalogue, but the new Heroes EP and the whole of their recent live album Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind. The latter is pretty amazing if you have an audio setup that can handle it, or at least good headphones. This band's version of VROOOM is so much looser and funkier than the original.

    Just picked up a ticket for London in November. Never seen them, been a fan for over 25 years so this is exciting!

    If you saved 1 pound monthly for 25 years you get 300 pound that'd be enough to pay 189 for a single ticket and you still have over 100 for your return flights and accommodation! This is exciting.
