Casino Asbury Park, New Jersey |
 Concrete cavern July 13, 2011
Written by NotoriousA
I was there for this show, at the Casino. I took a bus by myself from north Jersey. It was general admission, with no seating on the ground floor. Though at the front end of the line, I opted for an upstairs center first row seat to enjoy a panoramic view and stereo sound. One outta two wasn’t bad. The view was great but the acoustics in the concrete cavern were terrible and I regretted not being closer. Nonetheless this was my only regret. I’ll always remember Bill’s drum roll and rim shot, starting the funk-driven improv instead of an anticipated free-form one. Fripp sitting in the dark the entire show, no doubt pretentious to some but cool to me. A beautiful Exiles. The suprise of the Mellotron at the last ascendance of Fracture. I still love the Mellotron! And Starless heard for the first time. There was only one way to descibe that moment: King Crimson. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be, but nonetheless I thank Fripp and DGM for these exhaustive archive releases.

Posted by: WhiskeyVengeance
Sid is correct to draw comparisons to Garbarek and his ilk when describing this short-but-sweet download. It’s interesting how these notes and phrases, once isolated from their source material, almost begin to take on a life Read more

Not only is the performance wrought with tension, which means in this case the musicians are paying attention to each other, but the recording sounds as if the band is playing right in front of you in a small Read more
