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.

a wild ride, this one!   Fri., Sep 21, 2007

I’m still marveling at how many times this version of Starless seems to will itself back from the brink of disaster. Wetton’s particularly "rubberbandy" bass is a real treat. One of my favorite Deceivers as Read more

Train song?   Tue., Sep 18, 2007

I enjoy giving Dr. Diamond a listen now and then but can sort of understand why it was abandoned.  A reminder maybe of Savoy Browns Hellbound Train. Read more
