Good Evening, Toronto

Alex 'Stormy' Mundy has been rummaging through audience recordings and so there's now a great addition to the DGM archive from KC's performance near the end of the Canadian leg of the band's final tour of the 80s, on July 7th, 1984, in Toronto.

From Sid Smith's notes: Beginning with a beautiful, haunting Frippertronics loop drifting through the air, Fripp assertively decorates it with lines that sound like outtakes from a David Bowie session. Tony Levin then adds more contemplative layers reminiscent of his work on the studio version of Sartori In Tangiers, followed by Belew’s expressive banshee howling and finally the strange liquid bell-like sounds from Bruford. Such is the quality of this piece when Larks’ Tongues In Aspic abruptly cuts in it feels like a wrench.
