King Crimson

In the summer of 1982, King Crimson was riding high on the waves of their album *Beat*, which had been released just a year prior. The *Indiscipline* live performance at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park showcases the band's innovative blend of progressive rock and new wave influences during a pivotal moment in their career. This incarnation of King Crimson, featuring the charismatic Adrian Belew on vocals and guitar, alongside the masterful Tony Levin on bass, represented a fresh and experimental approach, diverging from the band’s earlier psychedelic roots. Interestingly, the band was known for their dynamic improvisational style during this tour, and *Indiscipline* itself reflects that spontaneity, mixing meticulous composition with bursts of creative freedom. It’s fascinating to see how their past influences shaped their present sound while paving the way for future explorations, all on that energetic stage in '82.
