I am looking to get a live album of King Crimson that includes the Belew stuff of early 80s. So far I have noticed ‘Absent Lovers’ and ‘Vrooom Vrooom’ as possibly the best options. My favourite songs of King Crimson would include ‘Red’, ‘Thela Hun Gingeet’ and ‘Elephant Talk’. If there are heavy, fast versions of these songs with thundering drums on any live albums that would sway me. Cheers.

If you can get your hands on CIRKUS, do so. It’s a summary of all of their live material over the years, spread across 2 discs. They play “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and “Red” back-to-back.
