Show Notes
This is a great audience recording that’s a little muddy in places but is eminently listenable. The Canadian crowd are on top form - very boisterous but clearly supportive. So much so in fact they get their own track!
Satori In Tangiers opens up a tentative space, where notes cautiously emerge and test the air. There’s a speculative quality to Levin’s Stick work here and the fading in pulses echoing from Belew’s guitar. Fripp introduces thin rays of light via his Roland keyboard and for a short while all three players gracefully orbit around each other waiting for Bruford to launch them off on the main part of the journey. The open-aspect of the tune’s structure at this point is emphasised by Bruford’s stop-start punctuation toward the end of the piece. It’s a fascinating point of collective improvising within a reasonably defined space that’s not unlike some of the grooves which the earlier King Crimson used to excel at.
The run from this through an excellent Elephant Talk and the tour de force Indiscipline is first class Crim in action. On the latter track Belew’s interactions with the crowd are especially entertaining.
