Massey Hall Toronto

If you listen carefully to the first improv, The Golden Walnut, you’ll hear guitar lines that would later form the basis of One More Red Nightmare making a tentative, fast-moving appearance. After the gig opinion in the group was divided about what had taken place with both Wetton and Cross experiencing difficulties during the show (Cross hadn’t been able to hear what was going on in places). All agreed the audience hadn’t been the easiest to win over. Fripp’s diary entry for on June 24th concludes “General verdict: hard work, not the kind of gig one would want every day of the week, but a success.”

This is also available as KCCC 45.

Absolutely essential

This show is a total beast and one of the most important performances of the 1974 tour. Larks II is monstrously delivered, followed by the never tiresome Lament and the melancholic Exiles. Then the band ventures into the before-mentiones improv, in which all members absolutely lose themselves. Robert's guitar appe...

Two great improvs and some very easy money
Though I am not as huge a fan of the straight improvs as many hard core KC fans, the two this night are terrific. The second half of Clueless in particular is terrific. (And in case you wondered, RF was no fan of rude audience members as far back as 1974, evidently.) The version of Easy Money at this show is particularly fun for me. The sound and instrumental separation is particularly clear for the era. While it's a relatively straightforward rendition with modest soloing that wouldn't be ...
