With all the touring legendary prog-rock ensemble King Crimson has been doing the last bunch of years, we've been really lucky to enjoy a wealth of live releases that Robert Fripp & Co. have released, which not only provide for recorded documentation for those who were lucky to attend some of these shows but a treasure trove of enjoyment for those who haven't been so fortunate. Audio Diary 2014-2018 covers close to five years of concerts from around the world, a 5-disc set where each CD includes songs from various cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Boston, Vancouver, Albany, Detroit, Quebec, London, and many others. While there is plenty of overlap from disc to disc as far as songs go, the quality of the recordings is absolutely pristine, and if you've attended any of these concerts, you already know the performances are spectacular.
Crimson has made a point in recent years of dusting out many classics and deep cuts from the early years, so in this collection, you'll be able to hear thrilling renditions of songs such as "Sailor's Tale", "Islands", "Circus", "One More Red Nightmare", "Pictures of a City", "The Talking Drum", "Epitaph", "Cadence and Cascade", "Easy Money", "Starless", "Red", "Fallen Angel", "Larks Tongues in Aspic, Parts One and Two", "In the Court of the Crimson King", and "21st Century Schizoid Man" alongside later period tracks like "Neurotica", "Level Five", "Suitable Grounds for the Blues", "Indiscipline", "Radical Action", "The Construkction of Light" and many others. Three drums, keyboards, reeds, two guitars, and bass...this is the King Crimson symphony in action!
Top-notch sound, cool packaging with unique artwork, and so many great songs make for a killer live set from one of the most important bands in prog-rock history, who keep on amazing us still year in and year out.
