    King Crimson! Great surprise to see a reaction of them. Loved listening to them in 1972 when I first came across them. I think they began in 1969. Greg Lake, on bass, went on later to be a founder of Emerson Lake and Palmer. His DNA is all over this song.

      He said this about a lot of groups. I’ve heard at least three different guitarists mentioned as “his favorite”. I think he was rather generous with praise. Also, it was such a fertile period in music and he was right in the middle of it. Substances might have also played a role. Not to take away anything from KC, just wanted to mention that.

    Among the greatest LPs ever recorded!
    In the winter of 1969 I bought tickets to a concert. King Crimson was the "warm up" band. To this day I can't tell you who was the top billed band I actually bought the tickets to see. That's how blown away I was at seeing KC for the first time!

    Had the opportunity to see King Crimson about five years ago now, and it was one of the major live music experiences of my life. I have been to about 500 concerts since 1975, and the Crimson show was a complete audio overload of my senses. I had seen Robert Fripp a couple of other times, with The California Guitar Trio and the King Crimson show was NOTHING like that. Intensity ruled the evening, and did not let up until the end. Amazing.

    While this is a good version,the original from the album Court of the crimson king is fuller and the use of the mellotron more intense and makes the song even sadder.There are also some background guitar parts inthe original that are left out of this version. IMO The album version is a better version .Hope you give it a listen and compare the two.

    'The fate of all mankind, I see, is in the hands of fools' refers to Nixon and Brezhnev, I think, who had their hands on the nuclear button. So the knowledge that is a deadly weight, is the nuclear physics that made the atomic bomb a possibility. That would be my interpretation at least. Nowadays, you can still make it relevant to the current age, with the knowledge without rules being social media. And there are still a lot of fools in power, or trying to get back in power, all over the world.

    Interesting version of a classic song. The bandleader Robert Fripp loves putting out different versions of the band's songs. It really sounds to me like different keyboard and percussion work was done here. Still a Great and heartbraking song. This song was released in 1969 during the height of the Vietnam War and the Cold War. The tone suggests the skepticism of the era towards lesders who many felt had mislead the public about the Vietnam War and the danger of Nuclear Annihilation.
