“Another good night. [endtease]We didn’t have a big a turn out as last night due to the Chicago Bulls being in the basketball play-offs tonight. But, the crowd that did have was very into the show. We mixed up the set again with a totally new beginning and fired away” says Trey in his diary. The second night at Park West really has the boys going for it and to these ears it has the edge over the first night documented on KCCC33. As dynamic as Live Groove is, Fripp really revs it up a notch or two on this version of Heavy ConstruKction with Gunn getting all heavy metal during his solo section.
With any improvised music, a leap of faith is always required and although Light ConstruKction never quite convinces, the awesome tones of Sus-tayn-Z should make a beliver out of anyone who comes into earshot. This rhapsodic playing is worth the price of admission alone. “The second set had some strong atmospheres. Very strong, indeed” reckons Trey. Thrush proves a strong opener but it’s the cat and mouse games of House II that’ll put a smile on your face as Fripp and Gunn run rings around each other.
