Pah! Lizard an almost unlistenable piece of crap?
If I may quote the bard, Ivor Cutler ‘The man’s a fool!’
Perhaps not Crimson’s finest but I listen to it almost every day, ’swunnerful!

It would be a shame for DGM never to release this show either on CD or for Download… That Sleepless was just massive,utterly monster music. I was taken by complete surprise at what unfolded there tend feet in front of me. It was as if I could just not believe what I was hearing, can this be happening?LOL it was FANTASTIC and never to be able to hear that again could I suppose make the experiencing of it all that much more powerful but does anyone really believe that? Well I’m glad to hear someone who saw more than just what I did on Saturday make the case for its immensity. I was worried I had imagined it all after reading some other less gleaming reviews…

Nice reportin’, Dork. Thanks for this. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Fripp’s most valuable abilities. Case in point:
On the show recently made available on DGMlive for download–the first of the two which I attended in Chicago–he demonstrates his importance quite subtlety on Three of a Perfect Pair. In 2000, Belew played this alone acoustically, all the while being watched by his guitaring colleague from deep-stage left (likewise applauding at its conclusion). For my taste, Fripp’s part is crucial to making this composition complete; yet in version ‘08, he holds out as long as he tastefully can, and plays barely as loud as needs to be played.

I suspect, that with all the concerns expressed about one not being able to hear him in the mix (my own included), he is matching the other guitarist so well, that one just doesn’t notice sometimes.

it is always a joy to read a post by you(all of it)…
it is cool how you go on these short but informative tangents that keep the
story interesting, i truly enjoyed the show on sunday, it was the best sounding
piece of music i have heard live in my life…every song just melted into the next..
i just hope that they release the download as fast as the Chicago show!!!!!

i just hope that this line up puts out a album and tours again……

I was so lucky to be in the NY area for work and was free on Friday night to attend the 2nd Nokia concert. The rthytm section was indeed amazing, I saw the double-trio lineup twice but this drum duo was at least as good if not better, and the sound was superb. Red, LTIA, Talking Drum and Level Five just blew me away, and Indiscipline was the perfect ending. Terrific as it all was, I would have enjoyed some more material from TCOL or TPTB, or even better new songs. This was like seeing a “best of ” compilation of the three times I’ve seen them perform in the last 13 years. Anyway, great to see them back in shape and hear that crim music is very much alive. One thing that surprised me was the total lack of communication with the audience (at least those in the back rows), except briefly in Indiscipline. Adrian, talk to us! We like it!

On Saturday night, did anyone notice that RF took to the stage at 7:50 and was playing guitar for 25 minutes?

btw, I’m not a n00b. I don’t know what I am, but I’m not that familiar
with some of the newer material. I saw one show in ‘72 (Wilmington Armory
in Wilm, DE) and at least 2 in 1974 (Asbury Park, NJ and Wollman Skaking Rink, NYC).

Thanks for the great review.
