King Crimson Live in Toronto - November 20th cd
The first full concert release by the current line-up of King Crimson. 
 
Featuring both brand new and classic material, this 'Official Collector's Bootleg' captures King Crimson on a single night in the middle of the band's Canadian tour in November 2015. 
 
With the exception of one small edit following an announcement before the band take the stage, the running time of this concert is exactly as it was heard in the hall by those fortunate enough to have been there. Even by the high standards set by King Crimson's current line-up, this concert was agreed by all involved to have that extra special ingredient, making it the perfect choice when seeking a release to counter the poorly recorded bootlegs that have begun to circulate. 
 
Featuring the recorded debut of new material such as Meltdown and Radical Action, the three drummer percussion pieces Hell Hounds of Krim and Banshee Legs Bell Hassle, plus a variety of King Crimson classics - including Easy Money, VROOOM and material from In The Court Of The Crimson King - this Collector's Edition of the first full concert release by the current line-up of King Crimson provides a perfect counter to poorly recorded bootlegs that have begun to circulate. 
 
The first release by the current band was the 2014 mini-album, Live at the Orpheum. In autumn 2016, the band will be releasing their long-awaited and much anticipated first major album - a comprehensive live release, taking the best performances of each song from the extensive set list (which changes nightly) and also including footage of selected performances. The album will be released to coincide with the King Crimson's 2016 European tour, which begins in the UK with two concerts at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury on September 4th and 5th (the band's only UK dates for 2016).
