Grand Ballroom @ River Center

King Crimson
Minneapolis
21 Nov 2001

If the previous show captured Crimson a little unsettled and ungainly, then the next port of call has the band taking things in their stride with an altogether more persuasive performance. Eye-witness Darcianne Siefkes offered this observation and summary to the readers of ET the day after this gig. "Crimson really smoked. Any lingering questions about the ability of this "double-duo" to carry the torch were quickly snuffed out. The last time I saw Crimson (Thrak tour, double-trio) the sound was thick and lush, but it was harder to distinguish the individual parts. My hat's off to Pat and Trey for stepping up to the plate and holding their own. Crimson is a new beast now. The new material, Level Five and Dangerous Curves are amazing new pieces. This four-piece band seems to be really coming into it's own identity and a new Crimson is emerging once again. That's one of the things I like about Crimson is the ability to constantly challenge themselves and create new musical forms. On this, the seventh night of the tour they seemed very at ease and confident with themselves."
