There are times when this recording sounds more like a band interrupting a conversation but there are moments where the performance transcends the dubious sonic excrement[endtease] from which it has emerged. Whilst everyone in the band thump, pluck and pound to heroic effect, it’s Belew who gets the man of the match award. The abrasive excesses of his guitar work on tracks such as Industry and Dig Me and even those machine-gone-mad fills on Indiscipline push this Crimson into harsher experimental territories more than usually might be the case. Perhaps the highlight of the set is their rendition of Waiting Man where the band really fuse together to such an extent that the conversation of those nearest the mike falls silent. Sleepless roars at a demonic pace and thus is well worthy of your attention. However, given the unforgiving nature of the overall sound and the competition the band faces from a certain section of the audience, this one for the hardiest of hardcore KC enthusiasts only.

Saturday Afternoon
I used to attend shows at Irvine Meadows a lot back in the 1980’s. In fact, the week before The Moody Blues had played there and were great as well. Both groups had comedians open for them. The guy who opened for the Moodies wasn’t so good but the one who opened for King Crimson was. Tony had just had a birthday and there was a bit of a celebration for him with Champagne and cake. It’s funny that the crowd is somewhat loud on the recording as the concert from where we were at, seemed to ha...

Memories of Irvine
As I commented earlier today on the DGM guestbook,  This Irvine meadows 1984 ToaPP concert was one of the very few Crim shows I have been able to attend over the years.  I remember it being a real scorcher.  Adrian was on fire and in my opinion at the very top of his game.  He was the quintissential acrobatic frontman here,  he was the center,  he seldom stood still,  his excitement and energetic delivery was alive and infectious.  The outdoor P.A. sy...
