2014 (The Complete US Tour)

Overheard in the crowd as fans left the Nokia Theater on Sept 21st, 2014:“… Our fourth King Crimson live show in as many nights, what could be better than that…?” The instant response:” …Seeing the whole tour…” That exchange drew knowing laughter from others in the immediate vicinity. Many had bought tickets thinking that this tour, like the US tour of 2008, would be a once-off, done in one, series of concerts, especially with such an unusual line-up: complete with three drummers and at the front of the stage. How could this even be achieved? And yet anyone who saw the 2014 tour would have sensed something different about this line-up, a sense of solidity that was there from the outset, a sense that this band was here not just for a single run of gigs, but for something more long-term.
