Disgruntled at having to do a gig in a venue he expressly didn’t want to play, RF is anything but a happy gigster and don’t his mates know it! “For myself, it is certainly hard trying to play a gig when one of the guys really doesn't want to be there” says Trey. ”I think, as group, we played quite well… But it was definitely a case of going 'up a hill backwards',tonight.” Not surprisingly, there are a couple of tracks that sound distracted; delivered but not as full-on as you might hope for. Nevertheless, there's plenty to keep one happy.

The first two discs include a full set list encompassing both old and new Crimson compositions, and the second disc also features a bonus CD-ROM performance video. The third disc culls 14 of the group's best improvisations from the tour.

How best to describe the performance here? One word: savage. Taken from the FOH tapes recorded by Greg Dean and mixed with audience mics from the Multi-track ADATS by Alex Mundy, this is a powerful testament to the latitude and grasp of the Double Duo in the live arena. Level Five squashes all before it, packing in more musical weight and density into seven minutes than many groups manage over an entire career. A high-powered and potent version of Facts Of Life makes for compelling listening – the revved up solo from Fripp is a joy to behold as is Belew’s rollercoaster solo on LTIA IV.
