King Crimson

In April 1974, when King Crimson performed the live recording entitled "Walk On... No Pussyfooting" at the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh, they had recently released their ambitious album *Larks' Tongues in Aspic*. This album, which came out just two months before the concert in March, marked a significant turn in the band's musical exploration—fusing progressive rock with elements of jazz and avant-garde. It's noteworthy that this period was a time of transition; the band was embracing new sounds and ideas, with Robert Fripp leading the charge. The lineup at this show featured the innovative David Cross on violin and mellotron, alongside John Wetton's dynamic bass work. This performance exemplified the band’s complex, improvisational style, as echoed in their title track from *Larks' Tongues*, which showcased their talent for blending intricate instrumentation with raw emotional power, capturing the essence of their evolving artistry.
