  Ah, King Crimson—now there's a band that’s all about breaking the boundaries of rock! By May 2020, when the live recording “Heroes for #VEDay2020” popped up, King Crimson had just emerged from a fascinating period in their storied career. Just a year prior, in 2019, they had concluded a massive tour that showcased their dynamic lineup and an exploration of their legacy. This era saw them focusing heavily on their classic repertoire, blending formidable musicianship with an ever-evolving sound. What’s particularly interesting about this live performance is that it features Robert Fripp, the band’s mastermind, alongside his wife, Toyah Willcox, celebrating VE Day amidst global uncertainty due to the pandemic. The heartfelt nature of the performance not only served as a tribute to war heroes but also encapsulated the creativity and resilience of artists in times of crisis. It's a reminder of how music can bridge the gap, connecting past sacrifices to contemporary struggles. How cool is that?
