The energy levels are way up high in this last night prior to Crimso’s transfer to The Broadway Theatre.[endtease] Though Funky Jam is spread a bit thinly tonight, the up-tempo beat is in keeping the Prix D’Ami’s hot-to-trot reputation as a disco.
The club had been packed to the rafters with journalists from all over South America, guests-personalities, rock stars, actors, politicians and the paying public who snapped up the tickets two hours after going on sale. The crowd are really the co-stars here and as the gig progresses the intensity of this fiery performance mounts accordingly. Never mind heavy metal - this is more like an exploding junkyard of sound hurtling violently in your direction.
Fripp and Belew lock horns during a truly furious rendition of The Talking Drum and you’ve got to love the chanting crowd at the end of LTIA. A stonking instrumental version of People is priceless with Sleepless and a reprised Red rounding off a grand Prix indeed!
