The gremlins that stalked the previous evening’s performance have taken a hike on this second night at the House Of Blues.

From an authoritative LTIAptIV (including some gasp-inducing precision stops), a swaggering guest appearance from Hooter J. Johnson on ProzaKc Blues and a particularly strong thwack of Frying Pan, this is a strong set from Crimson. For his part, Fripp thought the band were back on form. “Tuesday night was much more powerful than Monday with band & audience meeting & matching. This is the kind of performance I associate with King Crimson.”

Gunn wasn’t entirely convinced, citing the improvs in this show as being somewhat problematic. “They just sucked the life out of the show. I think both Robert and Adrian heard practically nothing to play on these.” The first tentatively touches upon the TPTB bell tones territory, whilst the second eventually finds solid ground on a rock-out version of Seizure.

For Trey the show recovered to some extent after Dinosaur, (here sadly missing the first few introductory bars) going on to something of an emotional climax. “Heroes had something very powerful going on inside of it for me” refelected Gunn in his online diary. “I suppose it may just have been 'personal,' but my heart began to tear apart inside of that piece. I suppose one of the things about a 'classic' piece is that something both 'universal' AND 'personal' can speak through it. For me this was one of those moments.”
And speaking of the universal and the personal, check out Ade's teasing quote from the first KC album ahead of his rendition of Perfect Pair.

My favorite show of that era.  This show is funny, especially creative, and the sound quality is pleasant to listen to and not as digitally in your face as some of the later Crim shows.  Certainly 5 stars!!!!

This is far and away my favorite of the 2000-2001 Crimson concerts (that I’ve heard so far, anyway -- I don’t have all the downloads yet, time and tide, love gloom cash love and all that). Every piece is strong and powerful, and the improvs are way better than Trey Gunn rates them. The fuzz-metal section of "FraKctured" is something of a high point, well worth the delayed "Oh my GOD!" from an overwhelmed fan after its conclusion. Pat’s drumming stomps throughout. No weak spots or shaky tun...
