Written by ssmith66

Went into this concert expecting adventure and bonhomie, and was utterly floored by the energy, good humor and go-for-broke spirit on offer. In terms of those qualities, and also with regard to the extensiveness and high quality of the improvisations, at the time I ranked this the best King Crimson live experience I’d ever had. (Granted, I only saw the ’80s foursome once, fairly early.) With the possible exception of a Double Duo gig at the Supper Club, that estimation still stands.

Just to set the record straight, the "you’re an idiot!" exclamation was categorically NOT launched toward the band, but toward a Staggering Drunk of Extraordinary Loutishness who was stumbling about the floor on the Trey-hand side of the house, lurching into my friends and myself (and, incidentally, the reviewer from The New York Times) and generally causing an unpleasant and malodorous commotion throughout. I didn’t see from whence the offending call came, but wholeheartedly sympathized.
