Pursuit of musical perfection turns into entertaining display of group dynamics – tag along on tour as King Crimson celebrates fifty years!

The progressive rock band King Crimson has undergone countless metamorphoses since its inception in 1969, both in terms of musical direction and members. At the center of this creative chaos is the legendary Robert Fripp, a well-dressed and unpleasant chap who has directed all incarnations of KC with an iron fist and master suppression techniques. After five decades at the top of the international music industry, he compares his music-making to an athletic challenge, practicing guitar scales four hours every day. In pursuit of the flawless concert, this pedantic devotion is something he expects from the rest of the band, who tiptoe to avoid clashing with their tyrannical leader.
