Best "rock" concert I ever saw.

I have this one memory of doing some... stuff... and seeing King Crimson in conjunction with a Salvador Dali display.

So as we get through the concert, this sonic blanket unfolds over the audience and the lights come from the stage to the back center where we were at. Then at the climax of the show I see my brother with lighter raised, standing alone with the backdrops of band and lights. They were incredible and musical while stretching the genre as far as it could go. Fripp is insane, truly. Adrian is a lot of fun. Bruford, and there was another drummer - uhhhhh, I'll think of it one day... it was just fantastic.

What a band.

Honestly though, I got close to the same vibe when we were watching Waitiki playing the Mai Kai last year.
I wonder if King Crimson ever experimented with exotica? Privately of course, certainly not on disc that I've heard.
