Unfortunately, I only went to 1 KC concert; it was @ The Sunrise Musical Theater in Fort Lauderdale, Fl (11-7-95).  I missed previous shows in South Florida in 1972, 1973, & 1974 even though I was a fan back then.  They played @ The Hollywood Sportatorium on 4-20-74; foolishly I didn't go because the Sportatorium was not a great venue for going to see concerts, so I passed it up; so I don't know what was on their play list during that tour ? Anyway, the question is "answered" on the Elephant Talk site (FAQ section - question 28); see the link below...  I don't know whether every answer in the FAQ section of this site is absolutely true though ?  Just passing this along... But I do remember purchasing the import copy of the album "Red" around November 1974 @ The Magic Minstrel in South Miami; the other album I bought @ the time was "You" by Gong; both are great albums ! Robert Was 'Red' ever played live in the 1970's? No. After the July 1, 1974 gig at Central Park, New York, David Cross departed the group. On July 8, the remaining trio of Bruford, Wetton and Fripp began recording the 'Red' album. Although Cross appeared as a guest on the 'Red' album, and Ian McDonald even supplied sax, the history of 1970's King Crimson ended when Fripp abruptly disbanded the group upon the album's completion. This means that the song 'Red' was first performed live by the 1980's version of KC, featuring Fripp, Bruford, Levin and Belew. (Note: both 'Providence' and 'Starless', from side two of the 'Red' LP, had been performed live by the 1970's KC). http://www.elephant-talk.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions
