King Crimson, Gig Review. Empire Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is no greater recognition of the art than that which reflects on its greatness, whilst looking at it from a different angle, of gaining a new perspective.

In an age where music is being redefined by the artist to include remixes, and in some cases what can only be described as adulterations, to the original cause, it is perhaps an idea in which can be seen as beautifully engaging, or arguably bemoaned by others as art for arts’ sake, and one that brought a new dynamic, an innovative flavour to the Liverpool Empire stage, as King Crimson brought their talent to an audience, which for many would have been their first live undertaking.

An Interview With Greg Lake.

Originally published by Liverpool Live. Monday 1st October 2012.

GREG LAKE is one of the real superstars of rock music, a  member of some of the most influential bands of the genre and a quality lyricist  and virtuoso musician whose records have sold millions. He’s back on the  road this coming autumn and this part of the tour sees him perform his  exceptional Songs of a Lifetime at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

From King Crimson  to E.L.P. to his own highly regarded solo  records, Greg Lake is the epitome of progressive rock and a man whose honest  opinions and views are still much sought after 45 years since he first recorded  his first single.
