 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.

boards from this last tour? This band was INTENSE for it’s last go round. This DL’s short but sweet. A great version of Fracture but the Improvs should have been left uncut as the intro to Exiles and Read more

A bitter sweet show for me---and anything but the “forgotten” show. As a near penniless 19 year old college student living in central Virginia in 1974, Washington DC represented the closest venue for me to experience a real rock show, Read more

I absolutely adore this album. Whenever I moved I would use the Asbury Park cut, originally the first track on the album, to balance the sound in my new digs. Agree with what many others have said, contains a lot Read more

What the teaser paragraph fails to mention - indeed it misleads by invoking Jobson’s name - is that the ’...Schizoid Man’ on this download IS NOT the one for which he performed the overdub found on the USA album [just Read more
