King Crimson

In May 1995, when King Crimson performed "People" at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, they were in a transformative phase following the release of their album "Thrak." This album, which came out in 1995, marked a significant re-entry for the band after a decade-long hiatus. "Thrak" is notable for its fusion of progressive rock and heavy metal, showcasing the band's signature layered sound and intricate arrangements. It featured a double trio format, which allowed for a rich tapestry of musical interaction that set the stage for the powerful live performances captured during this era. An interesting tidbit is that the band's lineup included legendary guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Bill Bruford, both of whom are celebrated figures in the progressive rock scene. The live recording from the Warfield Theatre captures their dynamic energy and shows just how vividly they connected with audiences during this pivotal tour.
