Park West Chicago, Illinois |
 it kCarries over August 20, 2008
Written by davidly
The crowd was too restless to sit and listen to the Introductory Soundscape that night, so it’s nice to have a undisturbed piece of it here for posterity.
Pat and Gavin quickly revealed what they were gonna bring to the stage: Krim-terplay with more welcome attack in the thrak. I have to admit that when I heard a second drummer was being brought in for this tour, I was sceptical, as I thought that Pat was ready to take the band in a direction with less drumming and more odd sounding instrumentation. I now can’t imagine Level Five without two drummers! And indeed, throughout these eight-appendage poundings, Gavin frees up Pat to supply a little more of his 21st Century percussion to the mix.
T-Lev starts out smokin’ on TCoL, proving that he’s not only a monster in numbers too high for me to count, but as quick a study as the best of ‘em. And his backing vocals on ToaPP finally shut the audience up!
Speaking of which, Ade was all rock, no talk! Which means he was basically all business, but not to worry, for he supplies a solo here and there that’ll be a treat, even for his biggest fans.
This extra concentration also made for what I read as a special chemistry between him and Fripp, who — BE WARNED BEFORE DOWNLOAD — you can’t actually see while listening to this recording! Just listen to One Time, Larks’ II, and Level Five and then complain if you dare!

If it weren’t for the odd mix I’d give this show a six-star rating, but I felt that it had to be reduced to a "mere" five...
