King Crimson
King Crimson - Live Full Concert at Berkeley Community Theater featuring Dangerous Curves and other songs
From August 11, 2001, King Crimson graced the stage at the Berkeley Community Theatre, and this performance came during a fascinating period in their illustrious career. Just prior to this live recording, they released “The ConstruKction of Light” in 2000, which showcased a stunning blend of their progressive rock roots and avant-garde sensibilities. The album was notable for its intricate compositions, with tracks like “Level 5” and “Dangerous Curves” demonstrating their continued evolution and skillful instrumentation. Interestingly enough, this era also marked King Crimson's reformation with what’s often referred to as their "double trio" lineup, showcasing a dynamic interplay between guitarists Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp, along with a robust rhythm section that added depth to their live sound. It’s amazing how, even after decades, they still crafted music that felt fresh and innovative, trying to push boundaries rather than resting on past glories. Their live performances, especially this one at Berkeley, truly captured the essence of that relentless creative spirit, ensuring fans were always in for an electrifying experience.
