Prix D'Ami

Buenos Aires
This is King Crimson’s first performance in front of a crowd since they had wowed the punters at Le Spectrum (documented on Absent Lovers) back in 1984. [endtease]Essentially a dress rehearsal in front of invited guests and the South American press, the tickets that had been made available sold out in two hours flat.

You can hear the first night nerves on tracks such as Vrooom and a slightly unsteady Discipline, though after an absence of ten years from the frontline such wobbles can easily be forgiven. . A brisk One Time and an exceptionally good Sleepless shows Adrian in fine voice, whilst the opening sections B’Boom has a hair-standing menacing edge. Elsewhere, Funky Jam makes it’s short-lived mark on the set-list for the first time – there’s a cutesy disco feel to the track which is appropriate considering that the venue used to be a premier dancing hotspot.

We’re used to hearing Vrooom Vrooom taken at an energetic sometimes breakneck speed but here it’s gone through in something akin to slow motion replay. Overall, this is a performance where a somewhat tired Crimso leaps and sometimes makes it to the other side.

King Crimson 1994 - Prix D'Ami - Buenos Aires (ensayo PRE-PRIMER CONCIERTO)
El miercoles 28 de septiembre de 1994, un grupo de 10 o 15 fans de King Crimson, que sabiamos que estaban ensayando en PRIX D'DAMI, estabamos en el bar de la planta baja, cuando de repente Robert Fripp bajó por las escaleras y nos hizo señas para que subieramos al primer piso donde estaba el escenario en el que estaban ensayando para los conciertos oficiales que comenzaban al día siguiente. Esta "prueba" de KC nos convertió en "Los POCOS" afortunados del mundo en presenciar el PRIMER CONCIER...

Unique addition to KC canon
A unique take on the Thrak material which is worth hearing. Hearing slow-tempo, un-embellished versions of what would later become intricately fast exchanges is fascinating, especially if you like the creative process. It’s like the steel frame of a building before the walls go up.  Unfortunately, I can’t hear the two bass players separately in this mix. From the two sticks solo, seems like Gunn is playing more a...

Fresh and...funky? well, yes!
This is a great one to have. On first listen, it is true the "jitters" are apparent, but that’s exciting to these ears. Of particular interest to me is the (in my opinion) underplayed and underestimated Sleepless, with that surprising but apt Latin groove. Disco, indeed. Followed by one of my favorite versions of VROOM VROOM to date, and Talking Drum at full race speed, it’s a real treat. Thanks for making this available. Viva DGM.
