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!’
