 Live at the Apollo December 21, 2006

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.

I first played this disc while my almost-five-year-old son played with Lego in the living room. A special highlight in my ears was David’s confident entry on the end-solo in "Starless", but my son declared unsolicited favor Read more

My first DGM download and what a scorcher. Having heard some of it on the Great Deciever box I was partly prepared for this gig. What a staggering beast of sonic power this KC Read more

Among the very best Sun., Jan 4, 2009

It could be my ears or even better equipment, but I’d swear this sounds even better than the box set versions on TGD. As for performances, this is as superlative an effort among the four of them as any lineup Read more

On the other hand ... Sat., Jan 3, 2009
Posted by: mrsnowman
Yes, both gig and The Great Deceiver boxed set are beyond excellent. However, I’m buying this download so that after 16 years I can finally hear the end of Starless - I’ve never found a CD player that could play Read more

This amazing show is a testament of the power of the Wetton/Cross/Bruford/Fripp lineup. Their music brought together power and beauty (an exotic variety of beauty, that is). This show has also stunning sound Read more

I love this show, it is a good portrait of the transition from the muir-era improv style into a new one. the crystallizations are morphing slightly and it seems like the improv before talking drum is a prelude atmosphere which it Read more

The sound is a little dodgy, but there is no denying that this lineup blistered the paint off the walls whenever they took up the cause. And they take it up with passion here in Read more

We all love Crim. At what point do we say these recording are not worth distributing?? The quality of sound is awful, the performance was good.

Performance is fine, just like most of the time. Sound is a bit rough, but overall, I’m glad it was released.
