 Pretty good playing - annoying banter June 5, 2006
Written by lars2005
I think that they play very well musically - just skip the banter between the pieces. It is quite obviuos that it was time to break up that formation of KC and move on to the next incarnation. The playing is tight and Boz seems to have improved a lot on the bass - to bad he and Wallace are creating havoc between the songs. Fripp can hardly get a word in and is interrupted constantly. However, they play with a lot of confidence (almost to much sometimes). It is very interesting to compare the polite performances from Frankfurt a year earlier to this over the edge performance.
The best - Fripps solo on Sailors tale and a great version of Formentera L. The worst - Ian Wallace backing vocals on Ladies of the Road and as mentioned earlier the banter between the songs.

Intriguing Show Mon., Sep 18, 2006

This show is completely unintelligible unless one is aware of the turmoil in the band at this point. Of course, anyone visiting here almost surely knows their Crim history, so it’s a bit of a moot point, but a show Read more

King Crimson Mark 2? 2 albums in 30 years and now we have 12 live albums in the last couple of years. Bit like buses really.
Pittsburgh is a show where, bearing in mind the circumstances, the band could be excused Read more

I Must Have Been Drunk at The Time Fri., Jun 2, 2006
Posted by: nasmformyzombie
A silly, embarrassing, likely drunken stupor of a performance. Boz Burrell should have been forced to give back his Crimson sneakers after this show. When asked to join, John Wetton had the good sense to avoid this Read more
