 Ah, where are they now? December 15, 2008
Written by PiperbonesJones
I had the bright idea of taking my wife and an about to be wedded couple to this show in order to find out how qualitatively different Crimson was live than on the vinyl I was still spinning in those days.
I think my wife said something along the lines: "never again!" And my friends just looked at me tolerantly since I was providing them a sfe lift homeward after the show.
True, it was earthshakingly loud but one of the finest live performances I’ve seen from the band in my years of (continued) fandom. It was notable for me for a number of reasons: first, it was neat seeing Jon Anderson open up live. Sad to say that, for me, something was missing from the performance though it’s great to hear his songs. But between his show and the arrival of the Crim there was some wonderful acoustic music that I found out later was the Kora Duets of Senegambia.
When the lights went down, I seem to recall "Waiting Man" as the opening number. Not sure if these live recordings have resequenced set lists or not. For me, the hightlights were the performances of "Sartori in Tangiers" and "Indiscipline" -- inspiring music that thunders awe. This will bein the library for sure.

A 1984 KC story Tue., Dec 9, 2008
Posted by: JPrisco
It was 1984, and New Wave was king of the airwaves, so "Sleepless" had gotten some fair coverage on the radio station dedicated to that genre. Consequently the Berkeley Greek Theater was about half-full of pastel-hued princesses and Read more
