RIP Ian McDonald.

On a side note, King Crimson has been the only foreign band allowed to tour Japan during Covid in 2021. Japan has now been closed to international artists for 2 years!

I saw Ian McDonald perform with Foreigner from a few meters away. Great show!

RIP!

I hear you Zichi. Too heavy/dangerous for me.

Threshold of a Dream or Ummagumma were my go to.

Foreigner was the first band I ever saw. I do recall Ian's name from that but I didn't know he was in King Crimson.

He also co-wrote the band's 1969 debut album, "In The Court of the Crimson King."

Wow. This guy has really been around the block. He never had a solo career, never was a household name but he was here and there, and that's a sure good way to make a living. He got around. RIP dude.
