King Crimson

December 17 2015 Bunkamura Orchard Hall Tokyo King Crimson Japan Import Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) edition

Japan advance release and Japan-exclusive project. 'King Crimson 2015 Ten-Show Supplement Series' Second Set, Part 3. The sixth Tokyo Bunkamura Orchard Hall show, also the final Tokyo performance, is released on SHM-CD in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. A night of fully aggressive, hardcore Crimson comparable to December 10, featuring an exhilarating, over-the-top performance that suits the final Tokyo date. Millennium King Crimson, who resumed activity in 2014, released all ten shows of their December 2015 Japan Tour in three phases. Following the first set released in December, the Second Set is Tokyo Part 2 covering the December 10, 16, and 17 Shibuya Orchard Hall concerts. This title contains the eighth show of the tour, the December 17 Tokyo finale. The rare opening that extracts only the percussion intro of 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic I' and links it directly into 'Radical Action' puts Crimson's heavy side on full display from the outset. The sequence from a ferocious 'Red' into a crushing rendition of 'Pictures of a City' has overwhelming impact. The second set maintains unrelenting weight and charges forward in an aggressive performance thrillingly close to the edge. First-ever CD release worldwide. A special Japan-only edition prepared by the band exclusively for Japanese fans. A 2xSHM-CD set in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. The master uses the digital recording made on the night, mixed by Alex Mundy.
