Weirdly, Ian also managed to name not only the location and date on 
which he last played one, but the approximate time as well, being the 
end of the last King Crimson Mk I concert.

Legend also attests that when the original KC members met up at the 
Hotel Intercontinental in London for the 'Epitaph' playback Ian blurted 
out an apology for breaking the original band up.

To say that Ian had 'unresolved issues' is an understatement of some 
measure.
