King Crimson

On November 21, 2015, King Crimson performed live at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto, just a shade after an exciting period in their long and storied career. At that point, they had recently returned to the stage in 2014, marking the first time since the 1980s that they had toured as a band. Their 2015 lineup, featuring stalwarts like Robert Fripp, was a fresh mix that breathed new life into the group's distinctive sound. They were promoting the album *Starless and Bible Black*, which they had originally released in 1974, although at that time they were not focusing on a new studio album. It’s fascinating to think about how King Crimson has always been a band that defies expectations and genres, often evolving with each performance. The atmosphere at shows, like the one in Toronto, is palpable, showcasing the band’s incredible ability to connect with their audience—even if this particular video was just a casual wave from the band, it encapsulated the enduring presence and dynamic energy that King Crimson is known for.
