 LARKS' LIVE: Muir-less noise first archive August 30, 2008
Written by DeVito
Wow, this is a fun set -- blasting, intense, quiet, rocking, loose, tight, and everything else. After Dr. D we get the entire Larks album (with a slightly different running order). This early version of Dr. D doesn’t have the power and weight it would acquire after being rearranged (a smart move all around, given that at that time King Crimson didn’t have close to the technical skills of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and were unwise to try to adopt their machine-gun style). We get the full-length Larks’ I here -- by the fall, the middle section had been truncated (omitting the part where Wetton plays a sort of wah-wah bass solo).
It should be emphasized that, contrary to the previous reviewer, Jamie Muir is NOT present -- he’d left the band around 5 months earlier. Let’s not shortchange Bill Bruford! He did a great job of keeping Muir’s manic energy and hazardous uncertaintly in the music, while also playing some monstrous drums. --Chris DeVito

I was waiting for a long time to have spring 1973 shows : they are in my humble opinion very adventurous and powerful (the influence of Jamie Muir is still there) and the different exchanges between Cross and Fripp were Read more
