King Crimson have announced that they will release a new live album, 2014 NYC, on double 200g vinyl and double CD, through DGM/Panegryic on July 10.
The new release, from the band's four-night run in NYC in September 2014, on their first tour for six years and one which introduced the now-famous three-drummer line-up, featuring Gavin Harrison and Pat Mastelotto, both members of previous Crimson line-ups, and Bill Reiflin, who had worked with Ministry and REM.
2014 NYC is taken from live multi-track recordings from the band’s shows between September 18 and September 21, with the vinyl being cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and pressed on 200-gram audiophile vinyl. It features new sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer and Prog writer Sid Smith.
2014 NYC heralds the start of a series of Crimson live releases, all double 200g vinyl and double CD releases, which will focus on the live activity of the 2014-2021 line-ups of the band.
A double Blu-ray release of King Crimson’s entire 19-date U.S. tour from 2014, which will also include this compilation, will be released in Autumn 2026.
