King Crimson In The Court Of The Crimson King live

Great share brother David, thank you.

OMG - that was a group that I thought that I only knew about. My roommate in collage bought that album - fantastic!!!

One of their interments was the "Mellotron" - it became more popular after the Beatles used it on several tracks. It was subsequently adopted by the Moody Blues, King Crimson and Genesis, and became a common instrument in progressive rock.

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of King Crimson In The Court Of The Crimson King live in honor of the fact that on "October 10, 1969, King Crimson released their debut studio album In the Court of the Crimson King on Island Records in England and Atlantic Records in America. "

By the way I bought that LP in the 1970s.

"The Court Of The Crimson King"
Lyrics
"The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king

The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants
the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king

The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king

On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king"

Here is another song from the album in live version
