Despite the strains that surfaced during the recording of Beat earlier in the year, Crimson were top form[endtease] during this tour, with notable shows in Philadelphia (available as KCCC26) and The Pier in New York just two days before Montreal.

Highlights from this incomplete set would have to include Neurotica which must have ploughed the punters into the back of their seats with its collective G-force. I really can’t think of any band from the period pulling off this kind of incendiary hybrid between rock, pop, funk and free-form. The Howler is a feral beast having been released from its studio captivity, and Indiscipline bristles with a shocking energy that will surprise even the most jaded veteran of this well-worn wig-out extravaganza. Mention must also be made of Sartori in Tangiers which makes a very handsome debut on the pages of DGMLive.

Alex and David have heroically scraped off the accumulated dust and grime of 24 years from the original 8-track master. Although liberal coatings of DGMLive’s patented fairy dust have revived and restored this gig, there are one or two bits that are forever lost;Frame By Frame cuts out dead and Matte exists only in the memories of those lucky enough to have been there.

Though it barely begins to compensates for such losses, there's a free bonus bootleg track chronicling in exhaustive (some might say exhausting)detail the thrills, spills and heady exhilaration that is the King Crimson soundcheck.

I’m probably one of the few who actually love BEAT, as a matter of fact, for me it represents a Masterpiece of all time rock albums (in the case we agree to call BEAT a rock album of course). Long time I hadn’t bought any music since is very expensive, but I didn’t hesitate to buy this one. A+++++ for the performance, sound a little poor.

Whoops! My bad, guys. Clearly I got caught up in my own nostalgia trip and superimposed my memories of the dancing beauties at the Place Des Arts onto the Crims at the Place Des Nations! Now there’s a visual image to ponder... I stand by the rest of the review though!

Place Des Arts Review
Subjective Background: As an “under 40” Crimhead, this was the 1st version of the band that I heard and nothing was the same after that day. (For me, that day was in the week before Christmas in 1984 and I was still in high school). Therefore, the only live gigs from this era I’ve seen are the Frejus and Japan videos. So, the versions there are the live standards against which subsequent versions are judged. (For me, “The Sheltering Sky” and “Indiscipline” have yet to sound better ...
