Blimey the boys are hot in New Haven. [endtease] On tour with John Paul Jones’ band, Crimson they’re cooking up a potent stew that bubbles and boils throughout.
As ever Belew really excels. His vocals on Thela sound like he’s really revved up. Not just his vocals either. You can hear him shout “Take it boys!” when a string snaps and a swift change-over of guitars is required. For a few seconds the members of ProjeKct Three step into the breach and carry the day. Though no strings may have been snapped during its performance, one of the most arresting tracks of the gig comes from The Power To Believe II or Virtuous Circle as it was called at that point. As gorgeous as all the layers of guitars might be, the ghostly appearance of Jamie Muir thanks to judicious sampling by Pat Mastelotto, sends a shiver down the spine of this Crimhead. In fact Mastelotto shines throughout, adding extra musical allsorts in a way that perhaps makes him a Muir for the new millennium?

KC20011209NewHaven - Rob Farrish

Written by Judd Ayer
What a night!
I was at this show and it has always stuck in my mind. There was something about it that separated it from other Crimso shows. Belew’s voice was a bit scratchy, so he asked his mates to help him out. They did this and more. The musical boundary in each song was opened for experimentation. Some patrons were upset by this. I remember one who, while walking past me on his way out complained about being ripped off. Idiot! The part that absolutely blew my mind was Capt. Fripp’s ...

MagiKc in New Haven
I was a member of the audience at this mind bending gig in New Haven, one of the four that I witnessed on this leg of the Double Duo (the others were the Orpheum in Boston, Tower Thtr in Upper Darby PA and the Listener Aud in WDC - a rare disjointed and poor performance to my ears). While the above mentioned gigs were very good, other than noted, this show in New Haven was MagiKc! The crowd in New Haven was fairly small relative to the...

Unremitting
This performance, and the Level Five tour in general, was characterized by its relentless bleakness. I was at the show in Boston the night before and this fine recording reinforces my memories of that event. This was difficult music, and even  a piece like Construction of Light which in 2000 and 2003 was almost sprightly, had a decidedly darker cast to my ear. I had seen the warm-up show for the Tool tour in Boulder earlier in the year (which was tremendous, and hopefully a candid...

I was there too!
This was an amazing performance. Others who have submitted reviews and were there describe the show accurately. I am so pleased that we now have a permanent record of this show. I do wish that the 1995 and 2003 New Haven shows would be made available, as they were also awesomely inspired performances. As for this show, KC once again defied audience expectations as they re-defined our ideas about the performers and the material. Moments of sublime illumination reveal artistry of the highest order...
