King Crimson

When King Crimson took the stage at The Chicago Theatre on June 28, 2017, they were well into a powerful resurgence. The show was part of their extensive tour supporting the album "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind," which had dropped just a year earlier. This album featured a collection of live recordings, showcasing the band's dynamic sound and their prowess at reimagining older material in fresh, innovative ways. Notably, "Easy Money," performed in this live set, originally comes from their 1973 album "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," but the version presented here reflects the band's evolution and ability to infuse old classics with new life. With Mel Collins back in the fold, it was a reunion rich with nostalgia and renewed creativity. The sheer energy and intricacy of their performance during this concert is a testament to their adaptability and enduring legacy in the progressive rock scene. Isn’t it fascinating how some bands can consistently surprise and engage decades into their journey?
