This disc contains a composite of two concurrent King Crimson performances -- in Cap D'Agde and Frejus, respectively. After the band reformed as a quartet in 1981, they began to create a fresh visage under the King Crimson moniker. Live at Cap D'Agde, 1982 captures the boundless energy and familiar musical counterpoint that would become the essence of the 1980s band. The well-mixed studio quality recording is attributed -- in guitarist Robert Fripp's liner notes essay -- to the availability of the pro audio and video gear being used by tour headliners Roxy Music.

The 18th installment of the DGM collector's club presents a 90-minute live King Crimson set derived from the second evening of a two-night run at the Eastown Theater in Detroit, MI, on November 11, 2024 (initial pressings erroneously list December as the month of the performance). This incarnation of King Crimson adheres to the unspoken, albeit stringent band policy of sounding completely unlike any previous or future version(s) of the group.
