Famous quote by Jamie Muir

"Touring with King Crimson wasn't a lot of fun for me. I had a lot of equipment, and when I was in improvised music I'd set it up myself, play the gig, and put it all away again"

- Jamie Muir

About this Quote

Jamie Muir's quote reflects his experience of touring with King Crimson. He was a percussionist and had a great deal of devices to establish and take down for each program. This was a laborious job and not pleasurable for him. He was used to playing improvised music, where he was able to establish his own equipment, play the gig, and after that put all of it away again. This was a lot more pleasurable experience for him than exploring with King Crimson, where he had to rely on others to help him set up and remove his devices. His quote reflects his choice for the liberty of improvisation over the structure of touring with a band.
