Originally recorded by Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins in 2011, The Light Of Day hails from The Scarcity Of Miracles album and also featured Tony Levin and Gavin Harrison. Released as a King Crimson projeKct, the record was the precursor of the new Crimson. In some fan forums at the time the number was dismissed or derided as not being worthy of inclusion in the setlist or being ‘a bit too weird’. Yet careful listening reveals that in an otherwise tightly-drilled setlist, the amorphous, open-ended feel of the piece evokes the kind of pensive moods that the 1972-73 lineup was fond of visiting. This particular performance features brutal gear from Fripp whose improvised melodic line is chased and repeated in a quick-as-a-flash manner by Collins.

Recovering from King Crimson last night. Stunning show. Best I’ve seen these guys do in over 35 years. I seem to remember Robert Fripp once saying that the 1970s Crims were too young to fully execute their conceptions. Last night, a mature Crim executed with such force and panache that I think Robert was right about that. 42 years after it was released, I finally got two of the tracks off of "Islands" at the intensity they always needed. Watching Gavin, Bill and Pat pass beats back and f...
Recovering from King Crimson last night. Stunning show. Best I’ve seen these guys do in over 35 years. I seem to remember Robert Fripp once saying that the 1970s Crims were too young to fully execute their conceptions. Last night, a mature Crim executed with such force and panache that I think Robert was right about that. 42 years after it was released, I finally got two of the tracks off of "Islands" at the intensity they always needed. Watching Gavin, Bill and Pat pass beats back and forth is sublime and Mel simply played his heart out. After a stunning passage, the guy sat down for a sec with an exhausted smile. Like all of his bandmates, he isn’t holding anything back. I am still flattened. See them if you can.
