“Welcome to the start of the King Crimson 1984 tour of America I hope you know some of these songs and note the discrepancies and applaud our bravery afterwards” says Belew. The band take a little bit of time to bed down on this opening gig, ironing out a few wrinkles on the fly as is customary on these opening shows.A storming version of industry with Belew at his pointillistic, abstract best, coaxing all manner of elliptical sounds which are probably not recommended by the makers of the guitar or his pedalboard set-up. The track creates its own space and time in which Crimson glowers and scowls. Belew’s distorted voice in the verse sections of Dig Me continues the brooding intense atmosphere. There’s a sprightly yet thunderous rendition of Sleepless to savour although Man With An Open Heart has a heart-stopping moment as Belew realises he’s using the wrong guitar and the song has to be restarted. Also of interest is a wild Sartori and a rumbling version of Discipline.The quality of this audience recording isn’t too shabby though close listening reveals there’s something of an ongoing albeit enthusiastic commentary in the quieter sections.

Journey to the World of Compositing

“Hello! How was dinner?” Belew wryly enquires after blowing the doors out of the place with the barrage of Entry Of The Crims and an especially forceful LTIA 3 which has occasionally sounded a little unsteady on this tour. The sound on this audience recording is a little ragged in places but not at all muddy, allowing us to get a sense of what went down in Wisconsin. “We have some more of that weird kind of stuff if you like it” adds Belew at the end of an especially gothic reading of Industry which sounds like a tour through a horror house factory as opposed to a more traditional industrial setting. At the more conventional end of the repertoire Waiting Man possesses the sprightly energy that sounds like it was channeling Talking Heads’ I Zimbra. “We have some other things to play from our very yellow third album” quips Belew before launching into Man With An Open Heart, “we made it folks, three albums. Amazing!” This last comment only hints at the internal politics and personal difficulties which would bring this incarnation of Crimson to a halt after another 14 shows. Nevertheless, there’s a tremendous vigour to this show.
