King Crimson - 'Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With' Live Performance in Tokyo

Venue: Tokyo Kousei Nenkin Kaikan Location: Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan Date: April 16, 2003

In April 2003, when King Crimson graced the stage at the Kousei Nenkin Kaikan in Tokyo, they were riding high on the momentum of their 2003 album *The Power to Believe*. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it represented a return after a seven-year hiatus from studio recordings, and it blended their characteristic progressive rock with elements of modern experimental sounds. Interestingly, the lineup for this live performance included founding member Robert Fripp and the versatile Adrian Belew, alongside Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto. This dynamic combination brought an electrifying energy to their shows, showcasing their exceptional musicianship. The title track reflects a mature sound, contemplating life’s complexities, which resonates with the introspective vibe of "Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With." It’s an exciting era for King Crimson, with a well-earned recognition for their innovative spirit and evolution as artists.
