King Crimson

In July 1984, King Crimson was riding the wave of their ambitious line-up, which had formed around the dynamic talents of Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, and Tony Levin. This was right after the release of their album *Three of a Perfect Pair*, which had come out just a few months earlier, in 1984. Not only does this album showcase the band’s intricate fusion of rock and progressive elements, but it also featured the standout track “Sleepless,” which they performed live at Le Spectrum in Montreal during this recording. Excitingly, the blend of Belew’s innovative guitar work with Fripp’s melodic sensibilities created a soundscape that was both intricate and accessible—a hallmark of King Crimson's craft. Also worth noting, this era marked Crimson's return to the stage after a hiatus, infusing their performances with renewed energy and a modern flair that set them apart in the evolving music scene of the '80s. It was a fascinating time for a band that continually pushed the boundaries of musical expression.
