Live in Detroit, MI is a live album (2-CD set) by the band King Crimson, released through the King Crimson Collector's Club in October 2001.[2] The album was recorded in Detroit, Michigan at the Eastown Theatre on 13 November 1971 although the packaging erroneously gives the month as December. It also erroneously lists the second track on Disc 2 as "Mars" when it should be "The Devil's Triangle".[1]

The album includes liner notes by the band's drummer, Ian Wallace.

[edit]

The audience link after "Pictures of a City" has been repaired. A few obvious faults remain. The introduction to "Ladies of the Road" is missing, and there is a break in the middle of "Groon", where the original tapes were changed. "Lady Of The Dancing Water" remains an incomplete fragment.[3]
