Let me give it to you sb
Not sure how many are between aardvark and the baby crocodile they received
It would have taken some time.

The influential progressive rock band King Crimson was formed in 1968, and with some gaps has recorded and performed ever since.

Over that 50 year period how many members has the band had? And for an easy bonus point which musician has been the only one to be in every iteration of the band?

I'll go 43 and Robert Fripp.

It's a bit like Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull.
 
Stroller closest at 23, it was 22 including original lyricist and lighting engineer Pete Sinfield.

Boring question, must do better.
 
When he broke a string on his guitar he'd change it on stage and got the slow handclap, he got the name which stuck. I suppose compared to Hendrix who had just arrived on the scene everyone was slowhand...

Yes, it's slow handClap...ton. It had never occurred to me.

Danny Baker, who's just read the new Clapton biography by Philip Norman, said on his radio show this morning that it was a schoolboy nickname. I've just looked it up, though, and the guitar string version is commonly accepted.

Take it away Sooper.

Staying on a musical theme what, in particular, was unique about the 'Games for May' concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1967?...
 
Well, it was a Pink Floyd gig...something to do with the light show so Was it the first gig with pyschedelic lights?

Or was everyone in the gig spaced out on acid? :emoticon-0110-tongu

Everyone was spaced out on acid in those days. :grin: It was a first but not the lights...
 
If not the lights, then it must've been the sound? Multi-directional speakers? They were very experimental even at that early stage....

How I wish I'd been born 15 years earlier.....
