There’s quite a momentum in this rousing version of a track that famously broke new ground for Crimson back in 1971. Mel Collins’ beautifully lyrical solo pierces through the turbulence of the parts churning around him, which in turn set up Fripp’s hairy solo and onwards to the magnificent finish. Brief but very, very bracing.

Wow! What a great show, this was my first of four shows at Mexico City, and my 4th Crimson concert overall (1996, 2001, 2003).

I really hope that a live document of this period of touring will be released sometime in the future.

Speechls was how I ended that day, after witness such gentlemans performing those unveliebable pieces. Thank you very much for that magical night!

What an audience
I had the privilege of being in the first row at this show. As great as the band was, the audience is really worth mentioning. It was probably the loudest audience I have ever been a part in, yet I never (or rarely) felt this was due to people calling attention to themselves but rather to a genuine outpouring of excitement too great to contain- some of the people had been waiting 14 years for a King Crimson show in Mexico, while a fair number had been waiting their whole lives. It was an honor t...
