With two albums’ worth of material to draw upon (Discipline, Oct 1981\u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003eBeat, June 1982) \u0026amp; extensive touring that had already seen the band play concerts in the UK, Europe, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp; Japan, the live shows - as often with King Crimson – had a dynamism \u0026amp; punch that simply couldn’t be\u003cbr\u003ereplicated in a recording studio. Add a pair of classic KC instrumentals, (Red \u0026amp; Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Part Two), to that mix \u0026amp; all the ingredients were there for a very special performance.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded 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\u003cbr\u003eSkies 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 \u0026amp; freshness of the line-up \u0026amp; the newness of the material to produce a special concert recording.\u003cbr\u003eWhile King Crimson material from this period is always in demand, with the forthcoming US tour by Beat\u003cbr\u003e(King Crimson’s Adrian Belew \u0026amp; Tony Levin, joined by guitarist Steve Vai \u0026amp; Tool drummer Danny Carey),\u003cbr\u003eperforming the material from that period, there is increased interest in hearing this material as it was originally performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Fripp: Guitar\u003cbr\u003eAdrian Belew: Guitar, Lead Vocal\u003cbr\u003eTony Levin: Stick, Bass Guitar and Support Vocal\u003cbr\u003eBill Bruford: Drums and Percussion\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40422121636041,"sku":"446406","price":76.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/446406-Product-0-I-638917030327241776.jpg?v=1756111541","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/vinyl-king-crimson-sheltering-skies-live-in-frejus-august-27th-1982-vinyl-lp","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
