 Looking Back March 16, 2007
Written by BilSabab
From an e-mail to ’Stormy’ Mundy on March 2:
"I listened to the full March 14 show this weekend and really enjoyed it. I had forgotten that they did the full-on Dinosaur. I also remember that Curves rendition, really powerful and menacing. The lighting during that piece was very eerie. There was this green glow that built up in the room along with the dynamics of the piece, but it was impossible to tell where it was coming from. The light was everywhere, it wasn’t just coming from the stage. It seemed like someone had covered all the house light fixtures with green gels. My brother and I looked at each other a little puzzled and scared as the entire venue filled with this sickly green haze."
As Sid notes there were lots of fun moments during this show. At one point, RF shouts to Ade, "I’m ready to rock!" Ade shouts to the crowd, "He’s ready to rock!!!" And rock they did.
My memory is that the band was relaxed throughout the show, and felt free to play around a little. They also left everything on stage. By the end of Potato Pie you can tell they’re spent (well, at least Ade is).
The only drawback of this recording is the absence of LTIA IV, which I remember as being a monster. We were on the floor for this show, and it was hard to get a good view of Robert throughout, but I remember that when the fast running lines started I was able to get a clear view of RF’s hands moving at lightning speed.
As hot as this show is, the second night was, IMO, hotter. The next day was St. Patrick’s Day and a weekend day. Most of the crowd was very raucous (read: drunk) by the start of the show, but this didn’t detract from the performance at least from my vantage. Maybe someday that show will surface on DGML as well.

The performance is great but Trey seems to be MIA in the mix. I’ve noticed this with other shows from this particular tour.

King Crimson always on the top! They are great for their music, because they don’t repeat themselves.

This is the most compelling of the 2000s shows at this site, because it has both Eyes Wide Open and Happy WWYH2BHW. Given that LTIA-IV is AWOL, I used the version from the Happy EP, which makes Read more
