2024: Death of poet / songwriter / singer / musician / producer, Pete Sinfield [aged 80]. Pete was best known as co-founder / lyricist for King Crimson (1968-1971). He gave the band their name, was art director (his friend Barry Godber created the cover artwork for ‘In The Court of the Crimson King) and operated the light show. Sinfield went on to produce the first Roxy Music LP and write songs with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Gary Brooker, Leo Sayer and many more.
Jimi sure stood out in a crowd, but can you spot Mitch, Noel and members of Pink Floyd? Roy Wood is there too… the others must be the rest of The Move and Amen Corner.
Released 45 years ago…. LIVE RUST!
