King Crimson - Sartori In Tangier Live Performance at The Spectrum, Montreal
Venue: Le Spectrum
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Date: July 11, 1984
In July 1984, when King Crimson performed “Sartori in Tangier” live at the Spectrum in Montreal, the band was deep into their "Three of a Perfect Pair" era, which had been released just a few months prior, in April 1984. This album marked a turning point for the band, showcasing a blend of progressive rock, new wave, and jazz fusion—a signature style that had become their hallmark. Interestingly, the live recording captures not only the energy of that period but also highlights Adrian Belew's dynamic role as the frontman, wielding both guitar and lead vocals. The band was experimenting with technologies and sounds, making each performance a unique experience. This concert wasn’t just another show; it was a vivid testament to King Crimson's ever-evolving artistry and their ability to push musical boundaries even in the mid-80s. Isn’t it fascinating how they continued to redefine rock through their live expressions?
