KING CRIMSON Sheltering Skies | Live In Frejus August 27th 1982 (2024 UK/EU 11-track double album 2-LP pressed on 200-gram Super-Heavyweight Vinyl, the first ever vinyl release of King Crimson's complete concert at Frejus recorded on August 27th 1982. Featuring the innovative 1980’s quartet of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford performing with unparalleled energy and enthusiasm. Taken from the original multi-track tapes by Robert Fripp and Brad Davis, and mastered by Alex R. Mundy at DGM, this release includes an additional performance of The Sheltering Sky from Cap d’Agde on August 26th. Gatefold picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
There’s a palpable sense of energy and enthusiasm from the audience captured on the tapes at this concert as King Crimson (sharing a European tour with then label band mates Roxy Music) take to the stage in Fréjus, France, in late Summer, 1982. With two albums’ worth of material to draw upon (Discipline, Oct 1981& Beat, June 1982) & extensive touring that had already seen the band play concerts in the UK, Europe, USA & Japan, the live shows - as often with King Crimson – had a dynamism & punch that simply couldn’t be replicated in a recording studio. Add a pair of classic KC instrumentals, (Red & Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Part Two), to that mix & all the ingredients were there for a very special performance.
Recorded initially for a video release, the audio from the concert has, inexplicably, never been issued as a standalone release. Nor has a live album from the 1980s line-up previously appeared on vinyl. Sheltering Skies presents the complete King Crimson performance across 2LPs pressed on 200gram vinyl or a single CD, both completed with the addition of the recording of ‘The Sheltering Sky’ from the previous night’s concert at Cap d’Agde. The 1980s King Crimson was, in terms of concert performances/album releases, still less than a year old when this album was recorded. The collective decades’ of experience of the individual musicians is funnelled through the enthusiasm & freshness of the line-up & the newness of the material to produce a special concert recording.
While King Crimson material from this period is always in demand, with the forthcoming US tour by Beat (King Crimson’s Adrian Belew & Tony Levin, joined by guitarist Steve Vai & Tool drummer Danny Carey), performing the material from that period, there is increased interest in hearing this material as it was originally performed.
