COLLECTABLE KING CRIMSON 3

Description

King Crimson's two-night stint at London's Shepherds Bush Empire is revered among fans for good reason. Coming at the end of a six-week European tour, the band was in stunning form. Rolling Stone had described this line-up's sound as akin to "well-wrought sonic violence", noting that the band could keep pace with any of the 90s young noisemakers. The concert presented here is the complete show from the second night. It encompasses everything that's associated with Crimson with a few special one-off items unique to the show. This was the only show on the tour to open with a solo Soundscapes performance by Robert Fripp. It was also the final European concert ever given by the double trio line-up. Drawn directly from the band's stereo tapes of the concert, the 2 CD set captures all the power of this legendary Crimson line-up in one of it's best gigs.
