An incomplete audience recording documents King Crimson’s appearance in Tampa, Florida. On the fragmentary evidence presented here, it would seem that the Crims are in fine form and good humour. After a majestic version of Exiles, the band slip into Easy Money although on this occasion the third verse is briefly replaced by Fripp going into the ‘On Soft Grey Mornings’ section of In The Court Of The Crimson King. Grinning broadly, Wetton quickly comps along before they go back into Easy Money proper. This wasn't the first time it had happened and Wetton was sometimes inclined to sing the opening verse of the Lonnie Donegan classic, My Old Man's A Dustman, in place of Peter Sinfield's lyric. All good Crimson fun. While there are a few clams in Starless, as if the new number was still taking a little while to bed down, the following improv more than makes up for any fat-fingered foul-ups. Moving from a gentle Trio vibe, led by Cross, it begins to morph into something altogether harder, setting up a ferocious and explosive rendition of The Talking Drum. An incomplete but no less savage LTIA Pt2 brings this partial gig to a rousing conclusion.
