Show Notes

It’s the penultimate night of the tour and so you could forgive Crimson for being a little tired or lacklustre. Yet the performance had been by turns jaunty and gutsy. A particularly good improv albeit in several distinct fragements beginning as usual with Trey spraying the napalm about the place and ending up with a straight rock out that’s underpinned by Fripp’s low register growls, Gunn’s cyclical riffing and Belew wringing and strangling notes like there’s no tomorrow. After a truly barnstorming version of Elephant Talk Adrian comes out for his rendition of Three Of A Perfect Pair but before he does he steps up to the microphone. “I don’t really know this” he says as the crowd fall quiet, “I don’t actually know this but I’ll try it anyway” and begins playing and singing the first verse of The Court Of The Crimson King.” The lyrics are subject to the vagaries of Belew’s memory but regardless, it’s a special moment not just in the setlist but the tour as a whole. When it comes to the chorus, the crowd take up the refrain with great enthusiasm. “You guys are beautiful!” Belew tells them. He’s not wrong.
