 The Big Crim August 22, 2008
Written by JPrisco
All right then; we see the pattern: those who have not heard this lineup find this to be fantastic, and those who have heard/seen shows later than this find it to be lesser than what they have already experienced. No doubt both are true, and I for one am glad to hear they didn’t lose steam over the course of the tour :-)
Beginnings are always fraught with different possibilities -- less ’successful’ perhaps, or ’ragged’, as another poster put it, but what of that? Comparison to a fellow band of similar vintage (with whom KC has shared a band member or two) turns the discussion away from such minor matters. Yes; I too look forward to DGM offering a later, more ’smoking’ performance from this lineup, but the air of discovery in early shows has its own fascination (e.g., the Double Trio at the Prix d’ami).
Meanwhile, I’m buying this one so as to hear the whole spectrum of the tour - from rough-and-promising beginning to confident progress to final denouement. Just think how much more you’ll enjoy that Nokia download when it becomes available!

The Mighty Crim isn't dead! Sun., May 16, 2010
Posted by: Slipstream
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...
Let’s face it, King Crimson’s flame delayed to begin to catch that night, however, Read more
