- The 80's Crimson only did two songs from the 70's band, RED, and LARK'S
- TONGUE IN ASPIC PART II. It was interesting hearing Belew do the violin
- parts with guitar feedback. But they didn't do any older material
- than that. 70's Crimson was more inclined to do SCHIZOID MAN or CAT FOOD
- years after the original recording and members were gone.
-
- I'd expect that when the new Crimson band arrives they'll do one or two
- older tunes live, but that might be material from the 80's or 70's. I
- think in the 80's it was more a matter of lack of material that led
- them to do "covers" and also that it gave the new band something to work
- out on that included the "essence" of what the band is about. The 80's
- band on their first tour would repeat one song as their encore. They
- didn't have a lot of material together. The 1982 and 1984 tour shows were
- much longer.
