Casino Asbury Park, New Jersey |
 Concrete cavern July 13, 2011
Written by NotoriousA
I was there for this show, at the Casino. I took a bus by myself from north Jersey. It was general admission, with no seating on the ground floor. Though at the front end of the line, I opted for an upstairs center first row seat to enjoy a panoramic view and stereo sound. One outta two wasn’t bad. The view was great but the acoustics in the concrete cavern were terrible and I regretted not being closer. Nonetheless this was my only regret. I’ll always remember Bill’s drum roll and rim shot, starting the funk-driven improv instead of an anticipated free-form one. Fripp sitting in the dark the entire show, no doubt pretentious to some but cool to me. A beautiful Exiles. The suprise of the Mellotron at the last ascendance of Fracture. I still love the Mellotron! And Starless heard for the first time. There was only one way to descibe that moment: King Crimson. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be, but nonetheless I thank Fripp and DGM for these exhaustive archive releases.

I haven’t heard the Asbury Park jam in a long time. I have the vinyl, but the pressing was horrible! The audio is relatively clear on this download. The difficulty for me is trying to filter out Cross’ nonsense on Read more
