Ladies of the Road is a live two CD set by the band King Crimson, recorded in 1971 & 1972, released in 2002, and reissued in 2008 in Japan.[2] It is named after a song on the Islands album.
The first disc consists of concert recordings performed by the band's second touring lineup: guitarist/keyboardist Robert Fripp, vocalist/bass guitarist Boz Burrell, saxophonist/flautist/ keyboardist Mel Collins, drummer/backing vocalist Ian Wallace, and lyricist Peter Sinfield- who operated a VCS3 synthesizer, the soundboard and the lights during live shows. The second disc consists of excerpts from different performances of the song "21st Century Schizoid Man" from the 1971 and 1972 tours, edited together to form a single 46 + minute “extended” version of the song.
This set was compiled in part from King Crimson Collectors' Club albums - limited release live recordings of concert performances, studio sessions and radio sessions.
