Notes
A convincing King Crimson takes us into its confidence on this second night from the Prix D’Ami. Bouyant and self-assured this gig has everything the previous evening lacked. Here, Discipline does indeed prove to be a vehicle for joy. Belew sounds never better on a fast-moving Frame and an irrepressible Bruford revels in his wild card percussionist role throughout. First aired during the Vrooom rehearsals the previous May, Funky Jam hops, skips and jumps across the boards Honed and sharpened compared to its studio counterpart, it thumps along combining the feel of an instrumental Elephant Talk with the cyclical turn-over that was hardwired into 80s Crim psyche. Fripp’s high notes even evoke something of Sunday All Over The World. Though dropped from further performances the miracle of modern technology means you can dowse yourself in as much Funky Jam as you want!

Fashionable not Funky Jam, Tue., Feb 7, 2006
Written by laurent
Not really a review, just a note to everybody interested in this download that Funky Jam is in fact Fashionable from the VROOOM sessions. Very interesting as RF, AB and TG act as a real string trio during this rendition. It wasn’t developed further, but AB recycled one of the riffs for Writing On The Wall on Side One. And RF’s high notes are obviously lifted from SAOTW’s Storm Angel. The "spartan sound" of the new pieces noted by one of the reviewers is probably due to the very careful separation of instruments in the mix (the Broadway Theatre gig seven days later sounds the same, in total contrast to the highly compressed and turgid FOH mixes on B’Boom from the same concerts). And this has the interest of containing an impressive number of train wrecks from Mr. Fripp himself, most notably on the second VROOOM where something was clearly disturbing his focus!
