Show Notes
Want to hear the best rendition of Doctor Diamond? This is it. [endtease]Elsewhere Lament comes close to being the monster Wetton always wanted it to be, whilst Easy Money addicts will need to add this one to their collection; it’s amongst the best “hard” versions pummeling doubters and flattening opposition. There’s a pensive element to the improvisations that pepper this incomplete show, seasoning the standard Crim repertoire with a tinge of exotic mystery. Best of these is the sultry Spanish-style phrasing of Atria. Here, David Cross provides great atmosphere and depth alongside Robert’s scorching notes. The mighty rhythm section slip the leash, running with a choppy, explosive groove that could well be the signature sound of this line-up.
