King Crimson

In the summer of 2001, when King Crimson took the stage at Jannus Landing on July 29, the band was in a compelling phase of its ongoing evolution. The live recording comes between their album "The ConstruKction of Light," released in 2000, and the next studio effort, "The Power to Believe," which would follow in 2003. “The ConstruKction of Light” showcased a more modern sound, marrying their progressive roots with a more experimental edge—something that would resonate in the live performances. What’s particularly intriguing about this lineup in the 2001 concert is the collaboration between innovative artists like Trey Gunn and Adrian Belew, alongside the ever-visionary Robert Fripp and powerhouse drummer Pat Mastelotto. It was a dynamic mix that turned live shows into an exhilarating, nearly unpredictable experience—where improvisation danced hand-in-hand with meticulously crafted compositions, reflecting their unyielding commitment to artistic exploration.
