King Crimson-Academy of Music,NYC-Nov. 24,1971



King Crimson
Academy of Music,NYC
November 24,1971

Outstanding Audience Recording


Setlist

1-Cirkus
2-Pictures of a City
3-Formentera Lady
4-20th Century Schizoid Man
5-Devil's Triangle


Fripp clearly says they are in town for two shows, and that this is the first of those, so this is the day before the Thanksgiving. Shakurav says he went the second night, on Thanksgiving. Toole lists his Yes was 11/24/71. This comes courtesy of the Florida Kid. He doesn't remember exact date of the gig, just that it was November 1971. So we'll go with 11/24/71. The Kid had the Academy masters for all three shows (Yes, Procol, Crimson) at one time, but he loaned out the Yes one decades ago, and can't remember to whom. Glad the Toole brought it back to life for us! Enjoy!


Lineup: Fripp-Boz-Mel Collins-Ian Wallace

  1. Hey - thanks for this show! Do you have links for the Yes & Procol Harum performances for that night?

    I was there - GREAT lineup but no Robin Trower however David Ball was a decent replacement. Crimso was jazzy & chaotic (at least for me at the time). I remember walking in during "Your Move/All Good People". Yes was a pretty good opening act (Hah!). Never seen 'em since!

    Cheers,

  2. This is a rock band of epic proportions and one of the most important forces in contemporary music. Thanks for recognizing the genius of King Crimson.

  3. Now that I've listened to this Crimso show I'm probably more blown away than when I saw them. Great recording of a great show of a phenomenal band!

    Thanks Hal!

  5. I found a King Crimson Discogrpahy book on Amazon. I can't beleive how many different album releases in how many different countries are out there. LP's, CD,s Singles, Cassettes a huge section on bootleg recordings. This book is well worth it.
