Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0633367500625Label : Unknown LabelManufacturer : Unknown LabelPublisher : Unknown LabelRelease date : 2008-03-31Title : The Collectable King Crimson Vol.3: Live at the Shepherds Bush Empire, London, 1996Format : LiveOriginal release date : 2008-05-06Studio : Unknown LabelMPN : 5006Number of discs : 2 This is the 'double trio' lineup at the end of their European tour. Compared to the live album B'Boom, which is a record of this lineup's first performances, the London performance is a much more exciting listen. The band's playing is fast and furious, giving a new life to a much-performed repertoir. Although the fast pace is at the expense of subtlety, the sound of a band pushing itself to the limit technically is exhilerating.
I was at this performance, and this CD confirms that I've retained an accurate memory of it even though it was over ten years ago. King Crimson completists might be interested to know that the CD also includes a short Robert Fripp soundscape. This was the only soundscape of the tour, and it was played because the support band had to pull out at the last minute. Also, it was the first performance in many years of 21st Century Schizoid Man. I would recommend this highly.
