King Crimson

In June 1982, when King Crimson performed "The Sheltering Sky" live at Fréjus, the band was in a transitional phase marked by their album "Beat," which was released shortly afterward in 1982. This marked an interesting point in the band's career as it represented their incorporation of more accessible and pop-oriented elements while still maintaining their progressive rock roots. The lineup at the time included notable members like Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, who played pivotal roles in crafting the band's sound during this era. The live performance features complex rhythms and textured instrumentation that capture the experimental spirit of King Crimson. This period was significant as it saw the band touring extensively, revitalizing their presence in the music scene after a lengthy hiatus, and showcasing their evolving musical direction in front of enthusiastic audiences.
