Starting with the 1969 Fillmore East breakthrough and running through those early-\u201970s returns, climaxing in the Larks\u2019-era farewell to that chapter at Central Park in 1974.<\/p>\n<p>And when Crimson kept mutating, the city kept calling them back. Robert Fripp later pointed to the six nights at the Savoy in 1981 (after rehearsals tucked away in the garment district) as a high-water mark, and later line-ups &#8211; the Double Trio, Double Duo, and a 2008 quintet with newly recruited Gavin Harrison at the Nokia Theatre continued the Manhattan connection, right up to a major reset at the same venue (by then the Best Buy Theatre) in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>That 2014 band looked like nothing else on the circuit: three drummers lined up across the front &#8211; an idea Fripp described as a sudden \u201cpoint of seeing &#8211; turning rhythm into a moving, interlocked engine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, they didn\u2019t treat the back catalogue like museum pieces; they played it as living material, rebuilt with microscopic attention rather than copied note-for-note. The \u201cdrumsons\u201d delivered a choreographed surge and uncanny unity (Harrison joked it felt like \u201cone drummer with six legs and six arms\u201d), and a calmer group chemistry let the seven-piece hit with brute force and fine detail at once &#8211; refreshing older classics and giving newer pieces extra muscle.<\/p>\n<p>In New York, moments like \u201cStarless,\u201d framed with a deliberate red-light nod to 1974, landed as proof that Crimson could honour its past without slipping into nostalgia: a band that kept reinventing its own language, still pushing forward with no obvious limit.<\/p>\n<p>From 2014 to 2021 King Crimson played music that was, in keeping with Robert Fripp&#8217;s approach, &#8220;new whenever it is performed&#8221;, freshly minted each night for a new audience to hear. The band would frequently stay in one city for more than one night so that demand for tickets could be met while still appearing in venues where all of the audience could both see and hear fully.<\/p>\n<p>\u20182014 NYC\u2019 is the start of a new series (to be released on 2LP and 2CD), compiled from those runs of concerts at a single venue\/city and commences from the first year of touring with a set taken from the band&#8217;s four-night run in NYC in September 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Later this year (Autumn 2026), there will be a 2 x Blu-ray release of King Crimson\u2019s entire 19-date U.S. tour from 2014 which will also include this compilation.<\/p>\n<p>KCLPX2014 &#8211; 2LP 200-gram vinyl set<\/p>\n<p>Side A<br \/>\nIntroductory Soundscape<br \/>\nLarks\u2019 Tongues in Aspic (Part I)<br \/>\nPictures of a City<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>\nA Scarcity of Miracles<br \/>\nThe Letters<br \/>\nThe Sailor\u2019s Tale<br \/>\nThe Hell Hounds of Krim<\/p>\n<p>Side C<br \/>\nRed<br \/>\nImprov: Hoodoo<br \/>\nThe Talking Drum<br \/>\nLarks\u2019 Tongues in Aspic (Part II)<\/p>\n<p>Side D<br \/>\nVROOOM<br \/>\nCoda: Marine 475<br \/>\nThe Light of Day<br \/>\n21st Century Schizoid Man<\/p>\n<p>DGM5033 \u2013 2CD<\/p>\n<p>CD1<br \/>\n1.
