Favourite live albums: one per decade per list

A bit of both: yes, I like it very much. These (well prepared) improvisations make their more experimental approach come forward and I have always enjoyed this album, not in the least because of the excellent musicians. On the other hand, the 90s were also a period when I started to turn my back to prog a bit; I was not very convinced by the turns it took (heavy prog/prog metal) or by the sheer unimaginative music that was coming out under the prog umbrella, so I started to explore much more jazz (rock) and contemporary music at that time. Added to that, what I said above: I'm not that much of a live album listener, I don't care much about live albums of bands that I haven't seen live myself, mostly.

I like this "looser" kind of King Crimson: it is more experimental and at the same time more spontaneous. There's a good flow to it, to my ears, a bit like those four albums of The ProjeKcts that came out in one box set; I really love all of these albums.

And, of course, I don't have to explain to you that that 2.77 is an average... My rating is not in there (I don't rate), but otherwise it would be at 3.50, at least.

That's a surprising choice given it's currently rated at 2.77 (you have to work hard to find any lower rated KC album). I don't think it's bad but best live album of the decade is quite something! Do you love it that much, or couldn't you just think of many 90s live albums? I like to see it as a choice here even though it isn't mine. Probably will revisit.
