 Great warm up for NYC August 23, 2008
Written by magma2
Caught the NYC 17th show. Drove down from Virginia and well worth the effort. The last show of a very short tour of one of the best bands in history. Few bands keep progressing and this tour was a nice retrospective. Lot’s of fun and great playing. I hope DMG releases the show on the 17th for the outstanding playing, enthusiasm and let’s not forget the obvious historic value. Who knows, maybe that was the last time Crimson will ever been seen? Great note to go out on.
I will add that Harrison was outstanding. Not only did he bring himself to the music, but his handling of some of the Bruford off-time bits on the duets were nicely executed and a wonderful tip-of-the-hat to KC’s most notable drummer. The whole band was outstanding. It’s nice to hear this Chicago gig just to see how much tighter the band was by the time they made it to NYC. Which, BTW, is a great venue with outstanding sound. My vote is in for the August 17 release as well.

I saw them twice at the Nokia (14th and 16th) and they were tighter then. They are still a little rough at the edges in this gig.

Nowhere near as good as 8/16/08 Fri., Aug 22, 2008

Compared to the show I saw on the 16th at the Nokia, this pales by comparison. Not as powerful, and the drums seem pushed far to the back. The level of intensity isn’t the Read more
