Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting Robert Fripp's massive, modern eight-piece "Three Drummer" configuration, 'Live in Chicago' presents incredibly lush and bruising reinterpretations of the band's extensive back catalog. The unique front-line arrangement of three drummers allows for staggering polyrhythmic power, perfectly complementing the complex progressive suites and heavy avant-garde detours. The set showcases a legacy act radically reinventing its own material rather than relying on pure nostalgia.
