Welcome to PA, we look forward to your wondrous stories!! 

I also saw the band a few times (I think four), missing the "Beat" tour due to a torrential rain that flooded out the outdoor venue, Poplar Creek, where they were performing.  Sad!  I did see Discipline, 3 of a Perfect Pair, Thrak and one other that escapes me.  

It wasn't traditional Crimson music exactly, but very high-energy and contemporary.  Fripp and Belew were pioneers with the use of the Roland guitar synth technology, so they did some amazing things.  Levin also brought the Chapman Stick front and center to rock, and Bruf held it down on the drum!  Damn fine times!

I never got into the 80s era KC, but the musicianship was certainly top notch and they were much better live, imho.

Discipline is very good. Not entirely sold on TOAPP and Beat, though they're alright. 
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Discipline is undoubtedly King Crimson's best 80's album. That album hooked immediately, but it took me a while to appreciate TOAPP and Beat.

I know this thread is pretty much dead but Marc Maron just did a great podcast with Belew. I never realized that Fripp hired AB and told him he had to write all the songs and lyrics and do the arrangements, while Fripp played overlord.  Well, I figured the last part.
Biggles was in rehab last Saturday

I was actually turned on to "In the Court" about a year before Discipline.  So I was all hot and ready for the new evolution after digging through the back catalog.

They didn't disappoint.
No Civilization here. Tried it on but it would not fit.
Seems only a thin veneer. A little rubbing and it comes off quick.
