King Crimson

In July 2017, when King Crimson delivered their stirring live performance of "Epitaph" at the Teatro Metropólitan in Mexico City, they were riding a wave of renewed creativity and collaboration. This gig came just after the release of their 2016 studio album, "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind". This album was a significant marker in their career, showcasing the band's most recent lineup, which included the legendary Robert Fripp alongside other virtuoso musicians like Jakko Jakszyk and Tony Levin. Interestingly, this period also marked the band's commitment to revisiting their classic material while exploring adventurous new territory. The blend of heartfelt lyrics and intricate musicianship encapsulated in "Epitaph" resonates deeply with fans old and new, reflecting both the band’s storied past and an exciting present. So, did that multifaceted juxtaposition contribute to the intense atmosphere of that night in July? It sure feels like it!
