The Second Chance
Second Show
With the second show starting at midnight in the appropriately named Second Chance club, if the Crims are tired it isn’t immediately obvious in this not-too-bad audience recording. To be able to summon up the kinds of energies required to animate this repertoire properly says something about the tenacity, commitment, and enthusiasm to perform this music, no matter the hour. ”You see, I enjoy playing," Bruford told Trouser Press a month after this show. "It's FUN. I just hope we look at the cheerful, optimistic side of this and don't take ourselves too seriously, just play some music and don't get too carried away with discussion. I don't want people to feel they need a Ph.D. in behavioral sciences to understand King Crimson. It's not like that. It’s just a pop group with some good ideas. The more we remember that the more everyone will enjoy it."
