King Crimson gigs from 1974

Mister Stormy has uploaded three ace gigs from King Crimson’s final US tour of the 1970s.  The three concerts have only previously been available as part of The Road To Red box set and they show the band to be on fiery form.



El Paso 8th June 1974
“an astonishing improv within Easy Money in which band sound like they are brawling with each other in the final moments of the climb-out.”

Denver, 16th June 1974
“With ZZ Top opening the show and Golden Earring headlining, King Crimson’s rocker-on-steroids, The Great Deceiver quickly establishes that this isn’t quite your regular rock ‘n’ roll.”

Grand Rapids, 23rd June 1974
“A little after 7.00 p.m. that night Fripp informed Wetton and Bruford that he wanted to knock the band on the head...It’s strong stuff being served here by Crimson.”
