The debut show for Mel, Boz, RF and Ian and what a fantastic atmosphere this soundboard recording has! The band are incredibly animated, clearly delighted to be away from their basement rehearsal room and obviously enjoying the liberation of being onstage. The shouts of encouragement and approval being exchanged – often in mid-song – give this recording an astonishing intimacy. Highlights include Fripp’s razor-sharp lines in the chorus section of Cirkus. There's an enchanting version of Lady of The Dancing Water with winsome backing vocals from Ian, trimmed with some rich baritone sax. And listen out for the running lines and slashing chords from LTIA pt1 as they make their debut during a radically different and experimental Sailor’s Tale.

Circus moves at a fair rate tonight. Played at this kind of speed, with the stabbing massed brass Tron lines provided by Mel, it sounds very close to Dinosaur – very close indeed. Also noteworthy because it must be one of the few times that RF slips in those Lizard-quick guitar lines during the chorus. The faint-hearted who think they’ve heard it all before should not be undaunted by the two versions of Get Thy Bearings on offer. They're a platform for some brave and fierce free-form explorations that veer excitedly between chaos and control; Collins and Wallace tear the place apart in the first set whilst fans of Lizard will thrill to Fripp’s allusions to Prince Rupert’s Lament in the second Bearings. Please note that this particular Schizoid Man was cut off in his prime when the tape ran out. Ouch.

With a riotous solo on duck call, Ian Wallace shows that seditious goings on in KC were around long before Jamie Muir clicked his pistachio nuts together. With members of the group Patto in the crowd at the Zoom jolly japes are definitely in the air. Getting in on the act Sinfield puts his joystick about a bit with some mind-blowing or potentially fuse-blowing, bleeps, bloopers and grate-rattling rumbles. Though the band are clearly a little distracted by the company, Get Thy Bearings has Mel Collins fire up some of his most ferocious to date. There are honourable “renderings” (as Boz might describe them) of Cirkus and Pictures. Elsewhere a slightly stolid Schizoid Man is rescued by a succinctly searing sustain solo from RF.
The abrupt beginning of Cirkus is due to a late tape start.
