King Crimson

King Crimson took the stage at The Chicago Theatre on June 28, 2017, during a particularly vibrant chapter in their storied career. Just a couple of years prior, they had released the critically acclaimed album "Scarcity of Miracles" in 2011. However, by the time of this live performance, King Crimson had been reviving their progressive rock legacy with their ambitious double album "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind," which came out in 2017. This album was notable for its eclectic blend of old and new material, showcasing the band's evolution while paying homage to their roots. Interestingly, this performance also highlighted the band's celebrated lineup, including stalwarts like Mel Collins on saxophone, whose contributions added a rich texture to their already intricate sound. With a legacy built on innovation and a willingness to experiment, King Crimson’s live shows promise an immersive experience, where each note resonates with the history and evolution of rock music itself. Being in the audience that night meant more than just hearing music—it was about witnessing a pivotal moment in the life of a band that continually shapes the music landscape.
