King Crimson

December 12 2015 Festival Hall Osaka Japan King Crimson Japan Import Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) edition

King Crimson 2015 Complete 10 Shows Series, Part 3 Release No.1, the first night of the Osaka Festival Hall 2days performance is released on SHM-CD in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. After finishing the Tokyo warm-up shows and riding a wave of strong performances, the Osaka Winter Campaign first night marked the band entering full engine mode. The Millennium King Crimson, which resumed activities in 2014, held a 10-show Japan tour in December 2015 during its second year of activities, and the shows are being released in three phases. Following the first release in December 2025 and the second release in February, the final third release covers the regional performances, December 12 and 13 in Osaka, December 19 in Takamatsu, and the final show on December 21 in Nagoya, issued on CD as a Japan-only original project. This title contains the fifth show, the first night of the Osaka 2days performance on December 12. The first regional show after completing four consecutive Tokyo performances, the Osaka opening night was notable for having the highest ratio of classic representative songs among all 10 shows. An orthodox setlist that included all major songs except "Sailor's Tale", "One More Red Nightmare", and "VROOOM" is one of its attractions. In particular, during the Japan tour the combination of the three drummers and Tony Levin's bass improved, and the second half beginning with the jazz-funk version of "The ConstruKction of Light" that added a groove different from the original leads into a succession of famous songs that are sure to excite. SHM-CD 2-disc set in an E-style cardboard sleeve. The master tape uses the data digitally recorded on the day and mixed by Alex Mundy.
