The crowd at this show in Frejus sound very keen indeed considering that not all of them would have been there to see Crimso.[endtease] Mind you, situated somewhere between the rich playground of St.Tropez and the movie star haunt of Cannes, this was a perfect opportunity to soak up the Crims beneath the Gallic sun. As “up” as a helium–filled kite, let’s be honest if the rolling intro to Waiting Man doesn’t put a smile on your face and set your toe atapping, then there’s something seriously wrong with you. Ebullient as ever, Belew the consummate showman gets Crimson’s Roxy Music support slot off to a great start. A glossy Red shows Levin to be on devastating form and his nimble work on Matte is a perfect reminder as to why this player is held in such high esteem. Despite the sunny weather Sheltering Sky sends shivers down the spine; Belew coaxing some of his patented weird-wired sploog from the wood. Neil and Jack and Me sounds sharper than its outing the day before at Cap D’Agde.

Please note that this download now contains Thela Hun Ginjeet and Red which were not included on the Frejus DVD.

A show to stand the test of time
If there is someone that says that the 80's era of King Crimson was subpar, they should just listen to this concert. This concert is to the 80's era KC, what Concertgebouw 1973 is to the 70's era KC. Every song played is SUBLIME, from Waiting Man to Larks II. But there is one song here that truly stands out: The Sheltering Sky. I have said it many times, this track is KC at their finest and here at Frejus, I have the feeling that is evolved, like a butterfly releasing itself from the chrysalis....

A Live Performance that sounds arguably better than the studio equivalents
It's not often I listen to live performances of groups, having never been to a live performance before. I'm usually turned off by the price of it, and as has been more of a problem as of recent, my ability to actually get there and back home reasonably. However, if there's anything this particular performance is telling me, it's telling me to at some point go to a King Crimson concert. This was my gateway into the live magic of the Crim, and I am thankful for this introduction. I first watch...

Possibly the best Sheltering Sky!
I’d seen this ’81-’84 lineup in person 29 times, which included 27 performances of Sheltering Sky (the ’84 shows were very long, presenting almost all of three albums, and the two indoor ones of the six I saw that year - the spectacular July 4th Hartford show (PLEASE, SOMEBODY get the tape to DGM, including RF’s opening Frippertronics rendition of God Save The Queen) and the last U.S. show the next night in Boston - the group elected not to play it). Also, I’ve heard tapes of at lea...
