New Brunswick
26 Feb 1982

Thunderous. Thumping. Tumultuous. Turbulent. These are words beginning with a T at this time to describe just a fraction of what Bruford gets up to throughout this gig in general, and Indiscipline - specifically during the introduction. There’s a sense of glee at being able to slip off the leash and simply enjoy the freedom to go in any direction he chooses. It’s a great-sounding audience recording and you can hear just how wild the crowd is at what they’ve heard when Indiscipline brings the formal part of the show to a conclusion. The level of applause at this number and the set as a whole is astonishing.

Having already played new and as-yet unrecorded numbers including Manhattan, later to be retitled Neurotica, Neal And Jack And Me, and an instrumental version of The Howler, the Crims come back with yet another new piece, Absent Lovers. Although the trademark heterophonic weaving is very much in evidence on this track, it never quite melds in the same way that the Discipline material achieved. Nevertheless, despite being very much a work in progress, it was only played live a handful of times so any recording of it in the wild such as this one is always going to be of interest to Crimheads.
