King Crimson

In November 2015, when King Crimson delivered an electrifying live performance of “Red” at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto, they were in a fascinating phase of their career. This live recording comes after the release of their album "The Elements of King Crimson," which was actually a box set released in 2015, compiling the band’s history and celebrating their diverse sound. This period marked a significant resurgence for King Crimson, as they had reformed in 2013, showcasing a more progressive and experimental edge. The lineup featured iconic guitarist Robert Fripp, along with stalwarts like drummer Bill Rieflin and saxophonist Mel Collins, adding layers of complexity to their sound. Moreover, it’s interesting to note that the performance was part of a world tour that focused on highlighting the band's extensive catalog while infusing new life into classic pieces.
