The ballad section continues to be a beautiful exemplar of Crimson’s subtle in-song orchestration. However, the improvisations traverse three very different spaces; Levin’s moody reflections, Fripp’s angular questioning, and the resolving balm as Stacey brings everything home. Quietly beautiful.

The guitar and piano cadenzae are considerably different than the ones from the Juan-les-Pins version - Fripp's in particular; several notes he played here made me feel like I was listening to a horror movie soundtrack! I just can't get enough of Crimson's variety.

A song for Santiago
I am very pleased to hear the Moonchild version. It brings my mind to the origins of King Crimson.
The song that can best represent the city of Santiago in this time: In The Wake Of Poseidon (Including Libra's Theme). A city at the foot of the Andes, where a lot of energy flows, sometimes polarized, that finally develops the virtue of temperance (balance). October 12 is Libra, plus they are The 12 Archetypes or The 12 Faces of Humankind.

On October 12, the meeting of two cultures is celebrated. The European, and the American. Colon arrived in the new world.

Wow...
This is superb. Moonchild is great and I've seen them do it I think three times now. But the real treats are the credenzas at the end. Robert and Jeremy's in particular. They did this following Moonchild also in Toronto earlier and Robert and Jeremy's credenzas were the highlight of the evening for me. Robert's credenza was completely different from this there however. Slow with lots of sustained notes...also incredibly beautiful.

Another mindblowing show
I have seen this incarnation 8 times. Somehow, they keep getting better and better, The set list was excellent. New for me were LTIA 4, Moonchild, Cat Food and Frame By Frame. All were quite outstanding. Jeremy is crazy good on the keys. I could go on and on about the musicianship, but we all no that they are the best live band on the planet. What I really really like was how much each member is enjoying what they played, but equally loved listening to each other. As an example, during Islands, ...
I have seen this incarnation 8 times. Somehow, they keep getting better and better, The set list was excellent. New for me were LTIA 4, Moonchild, Cat Food and Frame By Frame. All were quite outstanding. Jeremy is crazy good on the keys. I could go on and on about the musicianship, but we all no that they are the best live band on the planet. What I really really like was how much each member is enjoying what they played, but equally loved listening to each other. As an example, during Islands, Pat had his eyes closed and was so enjoying just listening to the other bandmates. He told me he often cries during that song when they play it. He was the epitome of what Robert said during the Royal Celebration and that was to be present when listening to music. They are part of the audience, part of the experience, not just the preformers. Thanks guys. See you next year.
