King Crimson

In November 1973, when King Crimson rocked the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, they were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *Larks' Tongues in Aspic*, which had been released just a few months earlier that April. This album marked a major transition for the band, showcasing a bold evolution in their sound, intertwining progressive rock with experimental elements. It was during this period that they also introduced dynamic new members, including the versatile violinist David Cross, who contributed layers of complexity to their music. The performance of "Exiles" from this concert not only highlights the band's musical prowess but also reflects a time of artistic exploration—a hallmark of King Crimson's legacy. It’s fascinating to think that in this era of innovation, they had already carved a niche that would inspire countless artists in the years to come!
