Can it really be forty-three years since Boz, Mel, Bob and Ian took to the stage of Zoom Club in Frankfurt and made their live debut? Happily, the four-gig residency was (mostly) captured for posterity and you can hear a brand new, paint-still-wet King Crimson in action here.

The next step is Discipline

The 1980s see a very different King Crimson incarnation originally touring under the name Discipline . The presence of Adrian Belew meant that Robert Fripp was working for the first time with another guitarist. This incarnation of Fripp, Belew, Bruford and Levin becomes the first one to record successive studio albums with the same lineup.
