 Live at the Apollo December 21, 2006
Written by mjboyce
Best live renditions of Larks Tongue in Aspic material that I’ve heard, particularly Larks Tongue Part 1, Talking Drum and Larks Tongue Part 2. I do prefer, however, the guitar solo in the Jesery (Asbury Park) version of Easy Money. Nevertheless, I was actually excited listening to this material live, and I do believe that is a great accomplishment considering the details of the studio version.
This whole recording is exceptional, really. The only weak point for me, and it is still an acceptable performance, is of Fracture. I have not yet been more satisfied by any recording apart from the one of the Starless and Bible Black release.
The other versions I’ve heard have been interesting, but never gut renchingly brilliant as that performance with its over-dubs. Those over dubs colour aspects of the early sections in a way that make them more exciting, and the ending was and is always something that makes my mind feel like it’s going explode in somatic orgasmic glory.
I like David Cross’s playing on this recording a lot.
The jams are interesting.
I find the audiance applause at the end before the encore a bit tedious.
The small excerpt from Cadence and Cascade is lovely, and great indeed to hear Catfood.

The Above Average Deceiver Wed., Apr 15, 2009

This download is worth it for Fripp’s ripping solo on Schizoid Man. The solo opens with 60 seconds of full-on scream in Fripp’s patented FLAIL mode. After a wind-down and a brief pause, there’s a couple of minutes of Read more

The final gigs from the 1974 King Crimson are the most powerful and ones. However, from these performances, Asbury Park is the most tight and intense of them. Despite the tensions and wearyness, the bands shows extreme musicianship, Read more
