DGM Live:
A sprightly performance from all parties on this last night at Berkeley. As usual Belew makes
it sound all too easy whilst the Levin bass demon doesn’t so much play the material as possess it.
Here the Beat-era stuff sounds noticeably buoyant and a touch more exuberant than its studio
counterpart. Certainly Neil and Jack and Me and a demented Neurotica consume energy like there’s no
tomorrow. It’s one thing to be able to make a big noise and play fast. It’s another thing entirely
to be able to consistently perform such demanding numbers with this kind of pinpoint accuracy.
Exemplary stuff.This recording was first released as part of the King Crimson Collectors Club but at the wrong pitch. That problem is now corrected.
Adrian Belew - Guitars, Drums, and Lead Vocal
