Kakodo Nagoya Japan

Taken from bootleg sources but sounding great (if occasionally a little boomy), there’s lots of interesting details tucked away in the high drama of the gig. On Thela, as Adrian blows up a note-bending storm Fripp introduces a descending run that has a curious happy-sad dimension to it that we don't normally hear him play. Similarly, on a particularly blistering Frame by Frame, Fripp introduces a variation on the interlocking part immediately prior to the second verse that momentarily takes the song into a slightly different, less forceful direction, before returning to the usual part.

There are some numbers where the bootleg acoustic really adds some atmosphere. The Sheltering Sky, complete with drifting eerie Roland organ notes, sounds as though its main theme is part of some majestic fanfare ushering in some distant procession.

Although Neil And Jack Me had been in the set since October ’81 it’s still notably different to the rendition which would eventually appear on Beat the next year. If that solo at the end doesn’t send you into raptures then maybe you should be listening to KC & The Sunshine Band instead.

Never mind anything else played tonight. The last two numbers - a frankly astonishing Sartori In Tangiers and the ferocious LTIA - make this gig an essential purchase.

Excellent audience recording and a fiery performance
I appreciate DGM rating these by their own standards but in this case I think the official DGM rating for this show is far too low for the great sound quality present in this recording. While it's obviously a microphone in the audience, the audience around it is very, very quiet and the placement sounds very close to the stage. There is some real "you are there" energy in this recording. I used to think the Roxy show (11/23/81) was the best we might get from these audience recordings of this tou...

excellent stuff
the sheltering sky here is great, Belew gets some REALLY menacing moans during his middle section.  the more i hear this song, the more i understand that playing it was a sort of tribute to the awesome beauty of earth and a sort of prayer maybe to the music gods.  also the indiscipline is wild....bruford’s solo starts differently and smears unexpectedly into what follows.   i recommend this whole tour, even though it’s slightly repititious, there are subtleties in there, the e...

I saw this tour in Syracuse,N.Y. and the show was fantastic! The whole band shined, surpassing my already high expectations.
