Some numbers in the Crimson catalogue sound like they’ve been just waiting around for this lineup to breath new life into them and this one certainly fits that bill. Talk about talking drums! Just listen to the rapid-fire conversation between Jeremy Stacey and Gavin Harrison throughout this piece which has Pat Mastelotto brilliantly embodying the wild bravura of Jamie Muir.

11 out of 10 points. Sheer power and glory from the first minute. Never heard KC start a gig with their three fantastic drummers only. And ohhh: the privilege of the 1st row, after very nice, humourous, informative, super-friendly talks with David, Gavin and Robert. What a triple joy. Extra Thank you!!
And one of the very best sounds I heard in 10 KC concerts over the years (decades…!) since my very first on April 3, 1973. „Jahrhunderthalle“ is really good, and the sound magicians on & of...

Also yesterday, June 12th, from the balcony: crystal clear guitars, Jakko‘s voice, Mel ... all superb.
In fact, both Frankfurt performances were sooo much better than June 9th, F&F at „Haus Auensee“ Leipzig. Compared afterwards, I‘d give max. 5 points for Leipzig, just behause of the terrible sound at Auensee. In my first respective guest book entry, I was rather polite :)
And then the setlist of June 13th. All seemed to be turned upside down. Wow!! Just seated, you nearly stop breathing (which definitely is not a good idea for what´s following this evening ...) See setlist.fm for details. Just to mention: Starless was not tonight´s encore, just the end of the regular gig.
Best of King Crimson so far. Do they really get better every year? Looks & sounds like. Thank you many more times, and have a great 50th year!
