Showing no ill-effects from having lost his voice the previous night in Chicago, Adrian ploughs into Frying Pan with his usual vim and vocal vigour although songs requiring his singing are kept down to a minimum; TCOL and Elephant Talk. The major change to the set (in deference to Ade's vocal cords perhaps?) is the re-introduction of Vrooom and its Coda. Interesting to hear the truly beautiful but all-too brief Holst-like outro of Virtous Circle, adding to the mystery and dreamy quality of the piece, and an idea worth following up in its own right. Fripp burns the plank during the fast running lines of LTIA Pt IV and if the track didn’t quite have the magisterial gravitas in its studio-based incarnation, it certainly has found it on stage by now. From the pin-drop reverie of Thrush to the blasting dynamics of Level 5 and Red, the last 20 minutes of this concert represents classic Crimson at its best.

My first time experiencing KC since the Double Trio Horde Tour a number of years back. I invited along a very young guitarist friend of mine who I thought might appreciate the band. I won’t go on too long but I’ll just say I thought it was an excellent show that I’m glad I can now hear again and is most fun to recall the memory of seeing this young 20 year old hot shot guitarist friend of mine with his eyes whirling in his head....counting....continuously counting and mumbling after the...

I won’t go on too long but I’ll just say I thought it was an excellent show that I’m glad I can now hear again and is most fun to recall the memory of seeing this young 20 year old hot shot guitarist friend of mine with his eyes whirling in his head....counting....continuously counting and mumbling after the show as he grappled with what he had just witnessed. He was so very happy. A couple years later I brought my wife to the same venue to see the band....she was not so happy.
