Most likely.

for those of us living in the Old World, the header also says: “London - Wed 11 Jan”

(It’s in Highgate)

 

There are 2 London shows on that evening, first is sold out but 9pm tickets still available on the pitchblackplayback website.

Most likely from the 26 cd box set "King Crimson - 1969 The Complete Recordings"  It contains an Atmos mix by Steven Wilson

Would love to hear it...

It's very good.  Steve Wilson (and a handful of other mixers, so far about ten of them IMHO..,but more being discovered every month) seems to know the subtle differences between ping pong surround effects and true immersion!  When done right, the overall sonic picture tells its own story.  The heights and tops are used seamlessly to portray a up-til-now-thought-to-be-unnecessary 3rd dimension.  Never heard this album like this!  😎

I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the Pitch Black Playback event featuring Porcupine Tree - Closure / Continuation at the L-Acoustics Creations studio in Highgate London in August last year. It was timed around the launch of the album and apparently Steven Wilson came over to sound check it. The folks at L-Acoustics were available to talk to afterwards about the system used. Here is a url to the "Ocean" system that we listened to.   https://creations.l-acoustics.com/sound-space/ocean/

 

I can't make the King Crimson event but hoping that those that go have an awesome experience.

Oh wow! That would’ve been really cool. I love that album. The Atmos mix is fantastic.
