King Crimson - Dangerous Curves Live at Newlyn Church, UK

Venue: Newlyn Church Location: Newlyn, Cornwall, United Kingdom Date: December 7, 1997

During the live recording of "Dangerous Curves" on December 7, 1997, at Newlyn Church in the UK, King Crimson was in an intriguing phase of their career. This performance came just after they released the album "Thrak" in 1995, which marked a significant reunion of the band’s classic lineup. "Thrak" was a bold statement, blending their progressive rock roots with a more modern sound, showcasing the intricate interplay between guitarists Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew, along with bass guitarist Trey Gunn. This period was particularly unique for King Crimson, as they were known for pushing musical boundaries and experimenting with complex time signatures and textures. Live performances like "Dangerous Curves" were a testament to their improvisational prowess. The intimate setting of a church further enhanced the ethereal quality of their music, allowing fans to experience this powerful blend of experimental rock and profound emotional expression up close. It's moments like this that remind us why King Crimson continues to be revered—always evolving, yet deeply rooted in their avant-garde spirit.
