King Crimson

In October 1973, while delivering an electrifying performance at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, King Crimson was riding high on the wave of their groundbreaking album *Larks' Tongues in Aspic*, released just a few months earlier in March of that year. This album marked a crucial evolution in their sound, introducing new dimensions through complex rhythms and experimental textures, driven by the dazzling interplay of guitar, violin, and percussion. During this particular live show, the band's energy was palpable, showcasing their unique fusion of progressive rock with avant-garde elements. Interestingly, this era marked the beginning of a lineup shift, featuring David Cross on violin and Bill Bruford on drums, both of whom contributed significantly to the band's sonic depth. The combination of their innovative compositions and improvisational prowess made this phase of King Crimson’s career not just dynamic, but truly unforgettable.
