If you want to open a show in barnstorming style then LTIA ptIV is the way to go. Another mix in which the reverb casts the guitars in a wash of sound as opposed to the customary dryness. Yet that echoing quality lends the track an truly epic feel. There’s a drop in levels during the coda but after getting briefly acquainted with the details in the V-drum tom-tom department, everything rises back to something approaching normal.
The second show in a run of four, Crimson are stomping things flat right, left and centre, with a particularly deranged Frying Pan clobbering the crowd square in the mush. FraKctured briefly pauses as Robert makes an adjustment to an errant whammy bar which, in the wrong position, had momentarily unseated the guitarist.
Level Five, whilst powerful clearly hasn’t bedded down yet though Response To Stimuli (later titled FaKcts Of Life) has a fiery attitude that pushes onwards and upwards. Whilst Fripp says that Clams Crimsonique was the only dish on the menu for this particular gig, the thrill and spills of a lively performance provide plenty of grand moments to get your teeth stuck into.
