Meltdown : King Crimson live in Mexico

"There are so many highlights that it would be impossible to list them all, but suffice to say that the biggest walkaway from Meltdown is how each band member has really grown so much into his own skin with this group over the past half decade. Comparing material that's been in Crimson's set lists since 2014 to Meltdown and it's hard to deny just how much better everyone is getting, both individually and collectively. While confined, to some extent, by some monumentally complex arrangements, the freedom that has been one of Crimson 8/9's cornerstones since its inception has only become greater, broader, deeper".
