The Elements Tour Box 2019 - Premium Collectible Music Memorabilia for Fans | Perfect for Home Display, Gift Giving & Concert Memories

This is the fifth Tour Box Robert Fripp has put out since 2014. They basically contain live tracks from the current incarnation of the band, a band that has been around for almost 50 years, as well as fragments from past band iterations and unreleased rarities.King Crimson has been around so long because Fripp basically ends the band on his whim and eventually reconstitutes it with different or returning players and a change in style. The style changes but the high level of musicianship and creativity remains. I prefer the band from my early years, when I first discovered them, in the early 70s. Back then, they were a powerful unit able to go from delicate moments of beauty to raging, complicated eruptions of metallic fury.I listened to disk 1 as I read the accompanying booklet. Done reading, I put the booklet down, lay on the bed, closed my eyes and just listened. I let the music seep into me. It was glorious. I listened and eventually merged with the music, appreciating every nuance and surprise being delivered by superior musicians.It was a perfect way to spend my time.If you have never listened to King Crimson, this is as good a starting point as any. Those who have followed the band for years have to be delighted with the current lineup as it picks and chooses from a vast back catalog and brings something new to something old. Enjoy them while you can.
