 Power/Avant-Metal January 3, 2008
Written by DeVito
King Crimson has always been a metal band, which no one seems to want to acknowledge. The ’03 Gunn/Mastelotto/Belew/Fripp quartet ranks with the ’74 Wetton/Bruford/Cross/Fripp quartet as the most powerful of the Crimson assemblies. I’m sorry this band broke up, but I’m hoping (as opposed, I hope, to expecting [if expectation is a prison, what is hope?) that the forthcoming quintet lineup will embrace and build on the power generated by this band.
I’m now listening to this concert straight through for the second time. The energy, joy, and power of the music are irresistable -- during "Facts of Life" I had to take the headphones off and blast the music through the speakers. I hesitantly, if arrogantly, offer a suggestion to the next Crimson lineup: Forget about doing studio recordings; don’t waste your time and energy. Just start gigging, record everything, and release the best of the recordings. Once the band hits its stride, start putting the complete concerts up for download. Anyway, just my two cents.

I cannot believe the tenacity and veracity of this show. Adrian is a wildman itching to make more music. Robert seems in as good a form as anything. Elektrik, Dangerous Curves, Virtuous Circle and Level 5 are finding their way Read more

Thanx for the Sat., Jul 8, 2006

I had been one of those asking and hoping for more of a taste of the 2001 touring band. I agree with the other reviewer that the ’01 shows had a certain "something" about them that even ’03, in all Read more

A genuine performance from a genuine band Sat., Jul 8, 2006
Posted by: millingt
After giving the new 2001 gig a ride, I have come to the conclusion that this download is one of DGM’s most genuine. I mean, the 2003 performance is killer, but the 2001 performance has something that the 2003 version Read more

Posted by: danceofthedawn74
Ich bin mit dir einverstanden ziggyyoussef, in dem Trey Gunn und Pat Mastellato, im Vergleich zur Aufnahme Elektrik, ganz klar geworden sind.
I am also in agreement with you that the TPTB material really comes alive live and especially when played Read more

If this is Crimson on a bad night... Tue., Mar 7, 2006
Posted by: dubhthaigh
I’m not sure I could handle them when they are on. I guess things sound different depending on which side of the flac. you are on. In any case, the lads are incendiary throughout, and while, yes, there are Read more

Few days after that show, Trey Gunn quit KC. I understood why the music was so empty that night. As a matter of fact, I have no precise souvenirs, except I came back home terribly alone, without that Read more
