“Hello! Beautiful night” says Belew after two high-octane performances of Frying Pan and TCOL. They go into the first improv of the night third number in, going in on the slow-walk P3 vibe into which Robert sneaks a line from Sunshine Of Your Love into the proceedings.
Marco Chrappan attended his very first King Crimson concert and went on to give his very first post on ET to tell his fellow Crimheads about the experience. “I went with a friend of mine who only listened to Thrak sometimes. I was anxious about the concert and the other people too! The audience was really mixed, boys, girls, teenagers, husbands and their wives. One guy before the gig shouted "He did not bring the cymbals too!" referring to the V-drum set which was nearly visible on the stage...The sound was just right speaking in terms of volume (I was in the rear section, I bought the cheap ticket, my greatest mistake!) the Warr guitar and the bass drum had a sharp attack but the rest sounded weak (the snares, the guitar and voice). Then came the 1st improvisation which I did not like much. They also played "Dinosaur", "One time" "Cage" "Vroom" and still 3 tracks from TCol "FraKctured" "The World's my Oyster soup" and "Larks Part 4" which they played smoothly. They gained some applause during the song for this one...Then Belew to say things like "Thanks! Goodbye!" but obviously no one believed to Adrian which came back to the stage (only him with a beautiful red acoustic gtr) and played a great version of "Three of a perfect pair". The people gave him a standing ovation.”

The show starts off with a hot opening combo of Into The Frying Pan and The ConstruKction of Light. The first Improv starts off interesting but is killed by the limitations of the electric drum. It does finally build up a full head of steam as the rest of the band joins in. Very good versions of Dinosaur, One Time, VROOOM, FraKctured and Oyster Soup follow. Ironically, I find the second Improv to have the reverse effect of the first. It starts off really good but ends up going nowhere. Cage, Thr...

Ironically, I find the second Improv to have the reverse effect of the first. It starts off really good but ends up going nowhere. Cage, Three of A Perfect Pair, Deception of the Thrush and Sex, Sleep, Eat, Drink, Dream are again, very good versions but Larks’ IV is sluggish.
