In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson At 50 (BluRay + DVD)

I discovered King Crimson at the age of 15. their first album, changed my life and musical listening habits for ever. I now own literally hundreds of CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs of their live performances, remixed, albums and surround sound offerings. The recent exposure Boxset also demonstrates Robert Fripp’s major contribution to a wide variety of other artists. BUY IT NOW - even 50 years late is not TOO LATE !!!

I like this box set, as I am a Crimson fan from the 70’s. Several members are talking from the past how it happend and changed the Crimson story. And there are live shows from a Rio concert and from the studio.

Interesting, informative, compelling documentary about King Crimson present day and its different incarnations and members from the past.

Only downside was I was hoping it would be longer. Was over too soon.

Pity there are no subtitles but good documentary.

Love the music and interesting take on some tracks old and new.

Great motion picture! KC! Greetings fom Tartu,, South Eesti! Grix

Got it as a Xmas gift 📦

Excellent reportage, avec des témoignages surement très interessants des anciens membres, et des membres actuels. L'image et le son sont parfait. Dommage !! Mille fois dommage, tout est en anglais et uniquement en anglais. Aucun sous titrage ni doublage. Quelle frustration et quelle déception de ne pas comprndre tous ces commentaires. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les décideurs l'on voulu ainsi. J'espère que ce n'est pas d'ordre pécuniaire.

La excusa: un estupendo documental, eso si , sin subtítulos. Todos los formatos , CD, BLUE RAY o DVD. Mucho material y bueno. 50 años de King Crimson son una buena oportunidad de rescatar material. Para sus fans imprescindibles, para las nuevas generaciones otra forma de conocer a KC. Algo caro pero muy completo. Para mi merece la pena

Very interesting. But somehow I had other expectations from what still is one of my favorite bands.

The documentary did not really cover the entire history of the band but the interview footage is very interesting to watch and the music more than makes up for it

As a long time King Crimson fan/follower since its great debut in 1969( In The Court Of The Crimson King) I have followed the band ever since. That album had as its subtitle: An Observation by King Crimson and there lies the clue of this film. One needs to view this film as an informative observation of a working band from uninterrupted moments rather than as a film that arguably follows a scripted process. In this way, Toby Amies has captured King Crimson in the most revealing manner. This film does of course feature many interviews and informal moments that will surprise and captivate its viewers. At times it pulls at the emotive strings particularly when former member Ian McDonald reveals close-up with head in hands that he hopes leader Robert Fripp can forgive him for leaving the band in late 1969. Other touching moments include a discussion with percussionist Bill Rieflin. He is so friendly and relaxed yet he is dying from bowel cancer and passes prior to this film being released. Guitarist Jakko Jakszyk also has things to say. And former member Andrian Belew also adds his view. Leader Robert Fripp is unusually open and informative and his words are to be well absorbed. He really is the essence of the band. In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson at 50 Film - Expanded is without doubt, the best ever on its subject, Toby Amies has created the most amazing film.
