Man, when you’re on, you’re on! If you want to get a perfect Frame By Frame look no further. All six members interlocking like some grandly intricate mechanism, so finely tuned and unerringly accurate.
The challenge for any band playing vintage material is to keep it sounding fresh and here Crimson does just that at several points on a setlist which features no less than seven numbers which predate the formation of the Double Trio.
Emerging out of the elegiac Two Sticks improv, in which Trey unconsciously quotes the opening of Exiles, Tony’s fumble to the intro to Elephant Talk is quickly corrected as the band embarks on a number that is constantly contrasting large gestural sweeps with small precise detail.
There’s a wonderful moment at the second verse of Indiscipline where an unexpected organ lick from Robert causes Adrian to laugh out loud between lines. As they are taking the applause Belew, elated and off-mic, says ‘Lots of train wrecks there!’

This was my first time seeing King Crimson. I very much liked Thrak and a few years earlier, had reignited my love for the band through the box set "Frame By Frame". I went with my wife, but she had a headache that night and King Crimson are not particularly headache-friendly, so I was left to enjoy the 2nd half of the night while she went out for coffee. I was near the back of the theater and didn't get to experience the music as well as I might have liked. Due to these circumstances, this woul...
This was my first time seeing King Crimson. I very much liked Thrak and a few years earlier, had reignited my love for the band through the box set "Frame By Frame". I went with my wife, but she had a headache that night and King Crimson are not particularly headache-friendly, so I was left to enjoy the 2nd half of the night while she went out for coffee. I was near the back of the theater and didn't get to experience the music as well as I might have liked. Due to these circumstances, this would be my least favorite of the 4 times I have seen the band. However, since I had attended, I opted to purchase the download, and I have to say, I found the recording transcendent. The recording of the show is top notch and the band is 100% on point. So far, this is my favorite downloaded concert I've listened to all the way through. Highly recommended.
