 The Force Of The 1974 Beast April 5, 2009
Written by Slipstream
The final gigs from the 1974 King Crimson are the most powerful and ones. However, from these performances, Asbury Park is the most tight and intense of them. Despite the tensions and wearyness, the bands shows extreme musicianship, brutal force and creativity. The path of destruction that Larks’ Tongues In Aspic - Part II leaves is only one of the highlights of the show, differently from the USA album, there isn’t any of Jobson’s overdubs, he did a very good job, but the original is better. Lament is ferocious and Exiles is hauntingly beutiful. For those who were hopeless about ever discovering what musical wonders were existing after the editions on the Improv: Asbury Park and Easy Money, well, here’s your chance. Also, there’s a smashing version of Fracture and Starless emerges victorious from the battle. This version of 21st Century Schizoid Man is a must-have. From start to finish, this concert is the most forceful from this incarnation of the Mighty Beast. An essential item to every Crimhead.
