Fox Theatre Boulder United States
This gig is worth it for the opening soundscape that tests the air on this first night in Boulder. It’s a authoritative brooding presence probing unexplored territory. The best track King Crimson never quite recorded makes it glorious debut here; molten guitar oozes up from the bubbling bedrock that is Seizure. Trey Gunn shines throughout but particularly on an beat-laden Thrush and Ghost III; his echoing solo dancing over Pat’s tabla-driven rhythm and Levin’s throbbing bass. For some people in the audience that night it was too much and out they stormed declaring “I didn’t pay good money to hear a bunch of jazz-noises!” RF comments that the first set of the night was the one for him “The most dangerous, and clearly of the greatest discovery. The first of anything has a power - the power present in the simple fact of the unfolding and emerging.”

A shaky start
P4's debut show never quite gets going, despite the audible efforts of the band. The tied-longest version of Seizure they perform says less in 17 minutes than the following night's does in 10. There's an apparent reluctance to let ideas breathe or leave any space whilst also spending far too much time on ideas and grooves that just aren't working. The band limps off after a drawn-out and meandering attempt at Light ConstruKction without the VROOOM encore of every other night of the tour, perhaps...

Ghost part III
The ProjeKCts left me speechless. One of my favourite King Crimson incarnations, that has its 2nd place on my mental KC podium. What a fantastic idea they were - maybe they did not live for long, but we all got 4 different King Crimsons, with every gig being an album... Wow! And it shocked me that these were improvised, how on earth is that possible that there are people who can create so much good music, LIVE??? Geez, I wish I could be that good in anything. Well, I did not find the opening so...

Of the ProjeKcts, P1 is my favorite (i.e., most listened to), followed closely by P4. I never get tired of listening to either of them. Mastelotto’s drumming totally changes the character of the music from P1, even though the rest of the lineup is the same. Levin is a blast as usual. If you like the improvising side of Crimson, here’s a concentrated 70 minutes of it. --Chris DeVito
