Fans of 80s-era King Crimson were no doubt stoked to hear news last week that Adrian Belew and Tony Levin will be bringing along Tool drummer Danny Carey and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai for a fall North American tour celebrating Crimson’s classic albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. This is of course a great excuse to showcase the classic concert film of the band from that period ‘The Noise: Live at Fréjus’. Initially recorded in August of ’82 at the Arena in France, this video remained largely unseen until its reissue by DGM in 1997. However, it serves as an exceptional visual testament to the ’80s-era King Crimson (featuring Belew, Levin, Robert Fripp, and Bill Bruford), and is sure to whet the appetite for their highly anticipated upcoming tour. If it’s anything close the excellence on display in this video, suffice to say fans will be in for quite a treat this fall.
