> [@LS04](#): > > I saw them record “Live in Central Park”. It was at the Wollman skating arena during The Schaffer Music Festival. Tickets were 3 dollars back then. When they closed with Red they had two huge red filtered spotlights pointing out to the aud, and as the song progresed the spots got brighter till all you could see was red. What a great effect for a great song. I believe they broke up shortly after this show Iam wrong with this one. It was STARLESS . Ever see Robert play that black GIBSON in person. Any fans of SOUNDSCAPES?. He is best seen live. ---

I knew what you meant! 😉 Crimson never played “Red” live until the 1981 reunion. I’m a big fan of the soundscapes, too. Fripp will be playing at the World Financial Center in December; he’s making noises that this could be his last live performance. But then he’s been known to change his mind a time or two! ---

I’m surprised by the results of this. I would have expected _Red_ to do much better–I thought that was the hip one to like these days, and I wouldn’t have expected _Disicpline_ to make such a strong showing compared to the Wetton/Bruford-era albums. ---

Just remember, Disicpline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end. (That tour t-shirt was one of my all-time favorites) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favourite-king-crimson-album/555059.md?page=1)
