Notes
“Hello Again New York City” says Belew at the end of a barn-storming rendition of Thela. “I gotta tell you for a skinny boy from Illinois this is quite a thrill”. King Crimson are playing their second gig of the evening and considering the levels of energy displayed in the first house you have to wonder if they are up to the task? Well, writing on ET some years after the event Charles Jowett had no doubts. “I saw the second performance on a saturday night...It was the first time I had ever seen Mr. Fripp, or King Crimson, in concert. At the time I didn't even own any KC records, although I did have a copy of Exposure. I was completely blown away by the concert.I still consider it to be the most amazing concert that I have seen. Partly because I knew absolutely none of the material, and yet was totaly over powered by it. Adrian Belew was a maniac, bending the neck of his finger-painted stratocaster and blasting out those wild wammy-bar riffs that he favored in the early 80's...And Fripp was equally impressive, writhing around on his stool and even standing once or twice?.His solos especially amazing during The Sheltering Sky.”

DGMLive would like to give a special thanks to John Bella for his assistance with the Savoy downloads.

Written by mannylunch
Yes, I was at ALL six NYC ’81 shows, including both early and late shows on the first night of the three, which begs the question: If this is the first set, why not come out and label it ’First House’? Or ’Second House’ if that’s what it is? Even though the recording of other show this night has still not come to light, DGM, please do identify which set this is.
Individually, and taken together, theses were perhaps the most defining musical experiences of my life [the 1974 Central Park show was another such live experience for me]. The first set this night was so unbelievable, I was depressed - I thought they must have cheated with tapes in the background. Then the second set that night I stood front center stage, watching every last note be the result of the work of the hands present - my jaw had to be picked up off the floor - by others. I was tearing with joy!
Rather than puttering around further trying to ape literacy through a display of verbosity, I’ll simply say: EPIPHANICALLY INDESCRIBABLE!
Do not hesitate to purchase these downloads!
