Park West

King Crimson
Chicago
7 Aug 2008

Regarded as a show in which the energy of the Crimbeast made itself felt, particularly by Robert and Tony, it nevertheless takes the group a couple of numbers to get up to speed. But when they do the power really builds up. Highlights? Where to start! Level 5 is totally monstrous sounding like it was always waiting for this line-up to come along and play it; a stately-sounding Larks Tongues crushes all in its path and the version of Sleepless appears to be channelling the 12 inch remix.; One Time sails sublimely with the inclusion of a poignant guitar solo by Fripp and the coda to Vrooom has the shiver factor set to max (including some sly samples courtesy of Pat) – and just when you thought you’d never need to hear another rendition of Indiscipline, well you’re wrong. You really need to hear this version. For connoisseurs of Crimson clams there are a few here for you to savour, and of course this being a soundboard means that third cymbal from the left on Gavin’s kit may not be quite where you either remember it or even where you would want it, but hey – this is Crimson on uber-savage form, white hot at Park West with a crowd that was willing them to go all the way. And boy did they go!
Please note that the artwork for this show is not currently ready but we’re so keen to get this show out it’ll be added later to your account.
