One of the best, if not the better archive of The Mighty Crim in 1973, this show is marked by the full energy that it has.
It’s clear that the band was in full form that night, and Jamie Muir, obviously perceiving that it would be his last show with King Crimson, put all his forces into this performance, with great results.
In first place, this bootleg version of "Dr. Diamond" is a buster and "Larks’ Tongues In Aspic - Part I" is the best version I’ve heard, with all his old signatures.
Of course, both Improvs are true surprises, the first has a exotic feel , almost catching "Trio"’s sound and ideas, a great example of Cross’s playing capacity and ability, and the second one is totally amazing and horripilant at the same time, having a king of horror movie soundtrack feel with both Cross and Fripp sitting in the mellotrons and surprising the whole audience with it’s dark and spooky sound.
Unfortunately, following this show, Jamie Muir left the band, leaving a big empty place in Crimson’s sonority, that, with Bruford’s capacity, was fulfilled.
