King Crimson

In November 1995, when King Crimson delivered their electrifying performance of "The Talking Drum" in Mexico City, they were riding the wave of their album, *Thrak*, released earlier that same year. This album marked a monumental return for the band, reuniting the early '70s lineup that fans had adored while also introducing newer elements to their sound. Interestingly, *Thrak* was notable for its use of the "double trio" format, featuring two drummers and two guitarists, which added a layer of intensity and complexity to their music. The Mexico City concert encapsulated this fusion of old and new, showcasing not just their musicianship but also the evolution of their sound. With Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew leading the charge, fans could feel the raw energy of the moment. It’s fascinating to think how every performance, like this one, contributed to their legacy—a legacy that continues to challenge and inspire artists even today.
