Next on Nugs: North America 2000

All 28 shows from the 2000 North American tour by King Crimson’s Double Duo are available now to stream, download or buy on CD with our partnership with Nugs.net.

Released in 2000, the 12th King Crimson studio album The ConstruKction of Light featured a slimmed-down quartet breaking new ground as well as retooling older themes with FraKctured and Lark’s Tongues In Aspic Part IV, both containing some of Fripp’s most terrifyingly complicated lines to date.

Alongside Pat Mastelotto’s arsenal of electronic drums and Trey Gunn’s growling touch guitar, Adrian Belew’s scarily manic soloing and his penchant for surreal lyrics run riot during the roiling, skewed gait of The World’s My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum. And they even Crimsonise the humble 12-bar with ProzaKc Blues. 

2000 saw the band touring in support of the album in Europe, Japan and North America, with the new songs featuring heavily in the set alongside improvisations in the style the previous years' ProjeKcts, old favourites from the 80s and 90s, plus an acoustic solo spot from Adrian, and on many nights, and with two Bowie guitarists in the band, an encore of Heroes.
