Being none the worse after having been bopped on the bonce by a mystery object during the end of gig applause the previous evening in Fort Worth, the second of three dates in KC’s mini-tour of the Lone Star state gets underway with Robert’s tasty soundscape wherein he’s quickly joined by the rest of the team. Notwithstanding the extra-curricular excursions of Thrak, it’s a shame there aren’t more of these improvisations in the Double Trio repertoire. “Buckle your seat belts” says Ade before counting off to a galloping Frame By Frame that flies by the seat of its pants. A great soundboard mix with Pat and Bill’s work bouncing off each other to great effect, and some of Trey’s subtler shadings which were often lost in the sonic melee can be clearly discerned. A High energy show by a band that’s clearly loving being there and who sound as though they don’t want to leave at the end!

Probably the best '95 Crimson performance
After having listened to almost half of the shows from the double trio formation, I can say that this show is probably their best. From start to finish, energy and musicianship are at top levels! There are so many highlights on this recording: Red, VROOOM VROOOM, B'Boom and Neurotica probably shine above all, even the Two Stick improv has some really cool moments. I love how Walking on Air usually closes the set, but in this case the Talking Drum / LTIA2 ending is literally explosive! The audi...

Top shelf performance
I was at this performance, standing next to the sound booth near the back of the hall (I didn't see the flying CD case, so wasn't sure what happened -- hey, at least it wasn't a whiskey bottle!). The sound quality of the recording is surprisingly good (though it would have to be cleaned up more for a CD/DVD release) and is an excellent representation of what I heard from where I stood. The mix is excellent and brings out the nuances of the performances quite well. The band was on fire (Adrian'...

I was at this show, but was running late, having worked my way down from Dallas. I saw the show in Fort Worth the night before, and the guy who threw (what looked like to me) a CD case, was sitting right behind me. It struck Robert on top of his head as they were taking their bows, and before I could turn to address this guy, he cowardly slipped away. I was hoping the band could overlook this and play the encore, which they did, and the version of Larks II was absolutely beautiful. In my h...

The Last Show I Jumped and Screamed For
For years, I’ve told my friends that the last rock show I remember attending that made me jump up and down screaming with joy was this Austin KC gig.  I remember who I attended the show with, and turning to my friends with each number to say: "I can’t believe they’re playing [insert song name]!!!"  Now I can own it!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  My heart soars.
