“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.

While the sonic quality of the covert cassette recording masks the fine detail, in the broad strokes it provides an audio snapshot of a band that is very much enjoying itself on stage as a few humorous asides coming from the drum and guitar stools at various points demonstrate.

“So you like that weird stuff?” asks Ade after an exceptionally good rendition of Industry. “Well here’s some more”[endtease]he quips before launching into Dig, arguably one of the most musically schizophrenic tracks King Crimson have ever recorded. In concert, those opposing factions – pop song colliding against atonal slabs of noise terror – seem even more stark and contradictory than they ever did in the studio.

Here’s King Crimson in fine fettle near the half-way point of what would be their last American tour for eleven years.
Entry of the Crims is a particular robust affair. The sonic brutality perpetrated in this track evokes memories of Beat’s Requiem. Uncompromisingly fierce, it segues into a better than usual LTIA Pt III (full of vim and vigour) which in turn gives way to a thrashingly savage Thela, with Tony Levin providing VFM entertainment. Fifteen minutes of pure Crim mayhem and an astonishingly bold start to a gig.

Tight, complex, and startlingly ambitious, the gig represents the kind of thing Rolling Stone's Chip Stern had in mind when he declared "Crimson creates a new kind of electronic string music that achieves an orchestral density without resorting to ersatz art-rock bombast."The gig was screened on German TV as part of a popular series that featuring the touring bands of the day, though quite how the wider TV audience responded to Crimson's brand of 80s gamelan-inspired direction isn't known.

Although their UK Autumn tour consisted of just six dates King Crimson were on stunning form as this great-sounding audience recording demonstrates.Alongside the warmly-received Larks’ Tongues In Aspic material, including a truly blistering Part I, this concert also highlights tracks which would ultimately appear on their next release in 1974.The Nightwatch, Lament, and Fracture, on which you’ll hear Bruford exclaim at almost precisely the same point he would eighteen gigs later at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, had been rolled out in America earlier in the month. It’s interesting to note how well bedded-in the renditions at The Rainbow are, each exuding a devil-may-care insouciance in places.

This second date of the band’s last American tour of 1973 finds the quartet taking the material written during their August rehearsals for a spin in public. The concert platform was often a workshop in which King Crimson would test out new pieces as works-in-progress and, of course, instant compositions off the tops of their heads. As Robert makes clear in one of his on-stage announcements this concert is only the second time that Fracture, The Night Watch, and Lament have been publicly heard. There’s a degree of fluidity within David Cross’s parts for Fracture which itself has an extra expansive blowing section prior to the jagged chords that heralds the flight into the end section.

In the excitement and stomach-churning anticipation before going on stage for this incarnation of Crimson's debut performance, one of the newly-formed five piece anxiously enquired[endtease]"What are we going to play?" Jamie Muir chipped in "Oh, Let's improvise."And they did.Quite a few in the audience that night would have been at the same club 18 months earlier to see the debut of the Islands-era Crim. And it's a fair bet that many were hoping to hear their old favourites.

Six days into the European leg of the LTIA tour Crimson are hitting their stride but on this murky audience recording John Wetton’s sore throat is having an impact and you can hear him straining on Easy Money in particular. He manages to rest it up for a while in the following improvisation, turning in some of his trademark monster bass work.
The improv that comes out of a delightful reading of Book Of Saturdays, still being played with accompanying tambourine at that point, continues the reflective mood with some charming interplay between bass and Fripp’s luscious chords setting up space for a gorgeous violin solo from Cross.

San Diego was the last of nine dates Crimso played opening for Tool and it catches them on dazzling form. The gigs were part of a wider KC roadtrip which took in a total of 21 concerts as the band tried and tested material for what would eventually become The Power To Believe.

“Thank you very much. Continuing on at this moment we’d like to do some more music from our very yellow record,” says Adrian Belew straight after a powerful reading of Industry. It’s possible that some in the audience with long memories might have been reminded of Mars an earlier Crimson epic with a similarly dark and unforgiving feel as Industry.

Wow - the DGMLive debut of Jamie Muir era Crim! Following some warm-up shows in Germany (documented on KCCC20) and a one-off date in Redcar in October, the new line-up of King Crimson took to the stage of Hull’s Technical College to unleash a ferocious sound. The abrasive mixture of freshly composed material and off-the-top-of-their-head excursions into improvised territory was a dynamic and often challenging combination.Things are clearly still in development. LTIApt 1 has a rockier feel to it and is at this point still awaiting the familiar coda. The big improvised set-pieces shed light on the protracted nature of KC’s compositional techniques as licks from Fallen Angel and Doctor Diamond are thrown and tossed about long before they were ever distilled into songs.

The quality of some gigs in the DGM archives present Alex Mundy with significant problems when it comes to restoring them and making the music available. Alex explains what he was up against with this particular concert.“I had transferred a 1/2" 8 track reel of this show, I had particular problem with the vocals on this show, but have managed to salvage them. What they had done was double up instruments on the 8 tracks, so I had to make copies of some of the tracks and isolate the sound source and EQ each one to get the best out of each instrument. There were only two reels of tape, and Waiting Man cuts in more than half way through, and the very end of a really good Sheltering Sky is missing. Neal and Jack and me is incomplete, and the very end of Heartbeat is missing, but don't get too despondent about these problems, as I think I managed to get a really good mix in the end, and what is here is of good performance quality.”
