King Crimson

Let's take a trip back to November 20, 2015, when King Crimson graced the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto. At this point in their career, the band had just released "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind" earlier that year. This album marked a significant return to form for King Crimson, showcasing their signature blend of complex musicality and improvisation. It beautifully captured the band’s live energy, featuring tracks that revolved around intricate time signatures and the iconic dual guitar attack that fans adore. What's interesting about this live recording of "Easy Money" is how it represents the seamless interplay between the band’s past and present. Led by founder Robert Fripp, the concert featured musicians who’ve been part of the Crimson legacy, like guitarist Jakko Jakszyk and bassist Tony Levin. This blend of seasoned players not only highlighted their prowess but also allowed them to reinterpret older classics with fresh vigor. It’s almost as if every note carried the weight of their storied history, reminding fans that even decades later, King Crimson continues to evolve while staying true to their roots.
