 Not Starless March 19, 2006
Written by JamieC5361
I am a big lifelong King Crimson fan. The "Red" period lineup of Fripp/Wetton/Bruford/Cross is by far my favorite. This performance of that lineup is instrumentally and technically as good as it gets. Any King Crimson fan from any era will be amazed at the sound quality captured by this crisp/edgy and moving performance by the band. With that being said there is one large flaw here. On the performance of one of the most notable songs from this era, Straless", John Wetton, the Singer/Bassist whom I admire very much and have seen several times, makes chopped liver out of the lyrics. On the first verse he starts out singing the opening line to the second verse, then realizes his mistake and starts singing the opening line to the song, then switches back to the second verse. When he starts singing the second verse, he starts mixing up the words and is intertwining lyrics between the second and third verses. By the third and final verse poor John is so frustrated, that he completely improvises, singing about cats and carney shows. LOL! In spite of this I still highly recommend purchasing this music to anyone who is even has the slightest interest in the band. Regards, Jamie Craig
