The Egg Albany

9th September

Welcome to King Crimson’s first live public show just six years and 23 days after an earlier incarnation said goodbye to the punters at New York’s Nokia Theatre on August 17, 2008. Clearly, a lot of changes had taken place between that previous show and this new iteration saying hello to the audience at The Egg in Albany. The first and most obvious was the choice of material included in the setlist. The 2014 tour would see a remarkable number of firsts, as in, ‘the first time song Y was played since X’, and the first time song X has ever been performed live.’ Had really been 40 years, five months and 16 days since King Crimson had played Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Part I? The answer is an emphatic ‘Yes!’

A magnificient reinvention
I can only imagine what a thrill it was to hear these amazing reinventions of classic songs for the first time. The Crims unleash a wonderful overview of the band's material both new and old, all sounding like it was written yesterday. It may be the mix, (or my personal prejudices) but to me the VIP of this first public 7-headed outing is Tony. His bass lines are powerful - commanding, lyrical, beautiful or fragile as best suits the piece. Overall, a stunning performance and a great addition to ...

Amazing show
Great theatre. Other than one idiot that yelled 'Free Bird', it was a loving, appreciative audience.
