To coincide with the releases of “Starless & Bible Black” in March 1974, King Crimson set out on a run of shows that many fans consider to be that line-up’s peak with the late music critic John Kelman (All About Jazz) describing them as being at their “heaviest and most guitar-centric version of Crimson to date” where “even 24 hours represented a significant difference in how this group approached form-based material”.
