King Crimson - Live Performance of 'Matte Kudasai' at The Spectrum, Montreal

Venue: Le Spectrum Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Date: July 11, 1984

In July 1984, when King Crimson performed "Matte Kudasai" live at Le Spectrum in Montreal, the band was navigating an exciting and transformative period. This performance came shortly after the release of their album *Three of a Perfect Pair* in 1984, which showcased the group's evolving sound, blending progressive rock with new wave influences. A unique fact about this era is that the band was a four-piece lineup, featuring the compelling talents of Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Robert Fripp on guitar, Tony Levin on bass, and Bill Bruford on drums. Their chemistry during performances was electric, perfectly captured in this live recording. This particular show not only highlights the band's ability to create intricate musical layers but also illustrates the emotional depth they imbued in their live performances, engaging audiences with powerful storytelling through music. What a moment to witness!
