Thrak certainly caught the attention of a couple of eye-witnesses in the Wilkes-Barre audience. MDA said “ Highlight of the show was definitely the B'Boom/THRAK section. The improvising and counterplay here was absolutely astounding. The middle section of THRAK was much different than the album version, much quieter and primal. Fripp's soundscapes beforehand were also quite moving, as he used some cosmic sounds and even some vocal sounds. Someone else on ET also commented (I believe) on how when the band stopped during THRAK, they just picked back up in unison again without any noticeable cue. The same happened here. I didn't realize it until after it happened, but that amazed me.”

Meanwhile Joe Mel had this take on the same track. “It really slowed down to a quiet
when the four string players started using different sounds. Tony played cello, Adrian seemed to be playing midi piano and then violin. Trey was doing guitar effects and also some other midi string work I think. Robert may have been doing some sort of soundscape. After about two minutes of this, Bill seemed to think it had gone on long enough and he started some percussion and gave Pat the eye. The two then began their own little jam on top of the group.”

Great recording of a Great Show
THANKS DGM for making this secret gem available. Although the audience at this show seemed small they were pretty passionate, as was Crimson! I remember thinking that the band seemed to have a bit of a "funky" kind of flair that night-some nice drum bits and those little "fills" Adrian does, plus a "Marine coda 475" to die for!   A bit later on I ran into the promoter who booked K.C. and thanked him, he told me that although the venture wasn’t profitable he had NO REGRETS, and was GL...
