  In January 1983, King Crimson was grappling with a pivotal moment in their evolution, hoping to carve out a new direction after the release of "Discipline" in 1981. This period marked an exciting phase for them, as they were known for pushing creative boundaries. The live recording of "Man With An Open Heart" at CV Lloyde music store almost feels like a sneak peek into the band's creative process, a raw glimpse of musicians refining their sound. It's fascinating to think about how they were experimenting during this time, with members like Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp collaborating closely to blend rock, jazz, and avant-garde styles. Did you know that "Discipline" itself had touted a more structure-driven approach compared to their earlier, more freeform works? This transitional stage in 1983 was all about exploring fresh ideas and solidifying the unique blend that would come to define their later works. Quite the journey, right?
