Just toward the end of the gig Ade engages in a little market research. “How many of you have never seen King Crimson until now?”[endtease] A show of hands reveals that a lot of folks out there in the elegant splendour of the Palace Theatre were new to the group that night, brought in by the fact that KC were sharing the bill (and this leg of the tour with John Paul Jones’ band. They didn’t know it but their first taste of Crimson was at a transitional point as the boys were breaking in new material that would feature on 2003’s The Power To Believe.
Starting out with a version of Dangerous Curves that sounds like it was directed by David Lynch (that is weird, dreamy and disturbing), Crimson take us on a guided tour of some familiar sights and one or two that were off the map at the time. One of the fall-outs of soundboard recordings is the way the mix can be slightly out of kilter: Frying Pan has a demented sounding Belew living it large a touch too-close for comfort. Then again, who wants comfort at a Crimson gig?
A rock solid version of Vrooom has the chandeliers shaking with Pat in particular crunching, stomping and swinging out on the coda. However the main highlight here is the sequence that begins with Virtuous Circle (The Power To Believe Part II as it would later be titled), dances a while with the angels during Thrush, and ends with a brutally rousing Level 5. After all that Red almost sounds like an anti-climax!

On par with KC's best shows
I’ve attended quite a few KC shows over the years (starting in 1972). Many of these shows were terrifically exciting. A few seemed stale perhaps by comparison. I went to this Greensburg gig and agree that it was one of the exciting ones.  Conditions were favorable: the venue was lovely, the JPJ crowd was receptive, and the KC boys were in good spirits, including the lonely Fripper, who applauded the crowd after the show (which, as readers of this board will immediately recogni...

Hair Raiser!!!
   My initial feeling of excitement was met with confusion upon finding out that I’d finally get to see the genuine article that is King Crimson... Live...In Greensburg, Pennsylvania?!  What?  Years prior, I witnessed a ProjecKt II show in Pittsburgh at the old I.C. Light Ampitheatre with equal amounts of enthusiasm and ignorance.  The show’s lasting impression was enjoyable, but not one of overwhelming importance in my "shows to remember" list.  ...
