{"product_id":"king-crimson-2014-nyc-2cd","title":"King Crimson - 2014 NYC 2CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eKing Crimson\u003c\/strong\u003e, New York was never just a tour-stop – it was a recurring stage in the band’s mythology. Starting with the 1969 Fillmore East breakthrough and running through those early-’70s returns, climaxing in the \u003cstrong\u003eLarks’\u003c\/strong\u003e-era farewell to that chapter at Central Park in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd when Crimson kept mutating, the city kept calling them back: \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Fripp\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 - the Double Trio, Double Duo, and a 2008 quintet with newly recruited \u003cstrong\u003eGavin Harrison\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat 2014 band looked like nothing else on the circuit: three drummers lined up across the front - an idea \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Fripp\u003c\/strong\u003e described as a sudden “point of seeing - turning rhythm into a moving, interlocked engine”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrucially, they didn’t treat the back catalogue like museum pieces; they played it as living material, rebuilt with microscopic attention rather than copied note-for-note. The “drumsons” delivered a choreographed surge and uncanny unity (\u003cstrong\u003eGavin Harrison\u003c\/strong\u003e joked it felt like “one drummer with six legs and six arms”), and a calmer group chemistry let the seven-piece hit with brute force and fine detail at once - refreshing older classics and giving newer pieces extra muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn New York, moments like “Starless,” framed with a deliberate red-light nod to 1974, landed as proof that \u003cstrong\u003eKing Crimson\u003c\/strong\u003e could honour its past without slipping into nostalgia: a band that kept reinventing its own language, still pushing forward with no obvious limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 2014 to 2021 \u003cstrong\u003eKing Crimson\u003c\/strong\u003e played music that was, in keeping with \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Fripp's\u003c\/strong\u003e approach, \"new whenever it is performed\", 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘2014 NYC’ 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's four-night run in NYC in September 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLater this year (Autumn 2026), there will be a 2 x Blu-ray release of \u003cstrong\u003eKing Crimson’s\u003c\/strong\u003e entire 19-date U.S. tour from 2014 which will also include this compilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert
