Live at Summit Studios is a live album of radio session recordings by the band King Crimson, released by the Discipline Global Mobile label through the King Crimson Collectors' Club[2] in February 2000. The album was recorded at Summit Studios in Denver, Colorado on 12 March 1972 during one of the band's American tours. The performance was notable for the absence of the band's trademark Mellotron, resulting in an unusual setlist and the inclusion of two lengthy collective improvisations.[1]
The liner notes for Live at Summit Studios were written by the band's drummer Ian Wallace,[3] who discusses the Denver show and chronicles his involvement with King Crimson throughout 1971 and 1972. Wallace's track "My Hobby" is a brief comedy piece in the style of Monty Python.[1]
The album was later re-released in high resolution and surround sound on an audio DVD with the 40th Anniversary Edition of the live album Earthbound.
