The last night for the Crims in that toddlin’ town and you can bet your bottom dollar that you will indeed lose your blues listening to this show. Worth spending some time with is the first improv (Seizure), a wonderfully restrained but utterly uplifting Thrush and a fast-moving second improv.

Fripp referred to this as ‘the dangerous set-list’ and he may have had a point. Michael Flaherty who attended the first and third of KC’s three-night run in Chicago and made clear to the readers of ET which night he preferred. “I feel like I have seen two different bands: on Monday a band that is technically perfect, on Wednesday a band that takes risks, makes mistakes, and, unlike the Monday band, never offers a dull moment...

On Wednesday everything was different. The audience was more responsive; the band was loose and adventurous. During the improvs Robert was more aggressive, as, I thought, was Pat. One reason for the improvement may have been the mixture of the set. P3 played about a half hour into the night; on Monday all imrov oriented material was late in the set. This added more variety for performer and listener...They dropped all of the Thrack material from Monday, and for the first encore did Cage and Sex, Sleep. They dropped Thela and Oyster--fewer songs more space. Maybe this had nothing to do w/ anything, but I thought it all worked alot better.”
