Notes

Soundboard


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.
