Live at the Zoom Club is a live album by the band King Crimson, recorded on October 13, 1972 in Frankfurt, West Germany and released through the King Crimson Collector's Club in May 2002. It documents the debut performance of the Larks' Tongues in Aspic line-up of the band.[1] The concert includes four improvised pieces, one of which later became "Fallen Angel" released on Red in 1974. The titles for the other three improvisations – "Zoom", "Zoom Zoom" and "Z'Zoom" – are references to the songs "VROOOM", "VROOOM VROOOM" and "B'Boom", respectively, from the band's 1995 album THRAK. The band made their second appearance four days later on the German TV show Beat Club, which was released in 1999 as The Beat Club, Bremen.[2]

The album includes liner notes by the band's official biographer, Sid Smith.
