Written by KC_1980s

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 this about 120 min of music. I applied the delete function to this until it got down to a CD of music (I am not the biggest COS fan, especially of the songs with lyrics) and it turned out very well as a snapshot of the band at this time. My splice job gave me an exploration of Level 5 and LITA-IV, the major pieces, plus the good songs (which will be relative to each listener, of course!) - I 
find the material from COS and PTB more 
compelling live, when you know four 
guys have to make the music in real 
time. Eyes Wide Open is also a nice live 
track, and I’m surprised it didn’t make 
it in the set list. Trey may be God, but he 
is all but inaudible in this recording.

After hearing this and the 2008 Park West show, Chicago is a must if we’re lucky enough to see another tour. I agree with an earlier comment that Trey is low in the mix (even on Thrush), which is Read more

A friend and I were at both shows at the Park West.  My own journal’s description of the event was succinct.  ’King Crimson as a Rock Band.  Aggression."  Wow.  I am very happy to be able to listen to this Read more

LTIA4 incomplete? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I was at this show. That was the hottest version of LTIA4 I’ve ever heard! I’m not kidding. Robert’s humanly impossible solo was nearly flawless with no hint of Read more
