The kings of prog rock are at St David's Hall. I first saw them at the old Capitol Theatre in Cardiff (Oct 29th 1971) on the Islands' tour. Here's a recent live version of Easy Money.

Are they all still breathing?
I think that KC were third in prog behind Yes and ELP personally but what do I know ?
Love king crimson , what a bassist
Having said that I love YES as well , favourite albums , the yes album , fragile and tormato
Best Prog rock were are very own Man
ELP were formed after Greg Lake left King Crimson following Crim's first American tour (Oct-Dec 1969). I saw Yes in Cardiff (1970's) and enjoyed the concert but I don't think they are in the same league as Crim. Personally I dont feel that their style has moved on one iota since the late 60's, surely a contradiction if they are being viewed as progressive. Now there are two splinter groups vying for the Yes name. Crim have always been in front of the music scene in my view in my humble opinion and gave birth to the term progressive rock > Prog Rock, superceding the former underground music.

They are fantastic. The interplay between the 3 drummers/percussionist is something to behold. Furthermore, the configiation of the other five members:
- guitar, keyboards
- guitar, vocals
- keyboards (mellotron, piano etc)
- saxes, flute
- bass, upright bass, Chapman Stick
can arrange earlier music to their maximum effect.

Here's another fine bassist from Crim in the early 1970's, John Wetton, playing part of Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part 1). Bill Bruford, earlier of Yes, also on standard drums.

Sure did, Sludge. He also played viola (Cardiff; Nov 1972) in the Larks' Tongues in Aspic Crim line-up.
