After a lot of enthusiastic reviews I try to write my bittersweet impressions.Anyway is a good performance of the new line up but (for me)  Crims can do better.  I like very much the performance of Robert and Adrian, very brilliant as always, I like Tony Levin’s enthusiastic energy especially in the songs of the 80’s repertoire but not in the most recents songs. I like very much these two incredible drummers but for me one is enough. I compared Key songs like Level 5 and TCOL recorded in 2003 with 2008 recordings and without doubt 2003 is shining. I think that  the addiction of the formidable Gavin Harrison and the return of TLev are not enough to fill the absence of Trey Gunn. King Crimson with Trey was a band of Another Planet. Many Thanks!

Can it be the same Gavin Harrison that loitered within the pages of Rhythm back in the day? Some of those exercises still hurt, man. Anyway nice one and it’s  great to have Ade and the boys belting it out Read more

The most FUN KC ever?   Fri., Dec 12, 2008

Well KC is always great, but I was really curious to hear what Gavin Harrison would contribute to this line-up. Well the drumming is nothing short of fantastic. It is obvious that Gavin and Pat are having fun, they’re Read more
