“Everybody comfortable and ready to go?” asks Adrian after the band delivered a piledriving Thela and Red on their second night in Houston. Vrooom Vrooom is a ravaging beast let off the leash whilst once again Bill and Pat whip up a terrific tornado on B’Boom before we head off into an intriguing Thrak. Here, after long sections where Ade, Trey and Fripp in particular do their best to strip the paint of the walls of the hall, the entire band adopts the now legendary KC “admirable restraint” mode. It’s hard to know if the band is waiting for the leather-lunged punters to adopt similar circumspection or if they were waiting to see who amongst them would blink first, but for the best part of one minute their instruments fall entirely silent. When they do come back in it’s with a pounding brutal force. The band evidently loved it: Fripp can be heard Yo-ing his appreciation whilst Ade off-mic laughs something about incorporating a certain John Cage into the piece. Neurotica has the edge ahead of the previous evening’s version though the wordplay required during SESDD gets the better of Ade in the second verse. All told, this is the sound of King Crimson having fun.

Observing this group on this night was a seminal moment in my life as an artist. To have a document of the event as nearly immaculate as this recording is, is a blessing. A devastating performance, practically lit up like christmas with it’s passion and energy. Maybe the most ridiculous Bruford intro to Indiscipline on record. I owe the boys for this night. I owe DGM for this recording. Thank you.

Takes me back...
...to that dark and stormy, yet amazing night.  I had been a King Crimson fan for six years the night of this concert.  I had read the reviews, heard stories from older friends, but this was the night it came alive in the double trio.  My friends and I rode thru a thunderstorm to get to the Houston Music Hall: a place with excellent acoustics that is sadly no more. Belew was alive and bouncing in the center of the stage, flanked on either side by Levin and Gunn.  Two drums w...
