What does it sound like?:
A mixture of old and new from the current seven piece line-up, recorded on last year’s US tour. A slightly odd mix at first listen which takes a little while to get attuned to – needs four or five listens to ‘get it’. Sadly only 41 minutes worth, but the band sound in fine form – Mel Collins in particular is at the top of his game here.
What does it all *mean*?
Good to hear a few pieces that have rarely been performed live (and one never previously), and it’s nice to hear rejuvenated takes on old favourites such as Sailors Tale and Starless.
Goes well with…
Probably not for the uninitiated, but if you’re a fan this is a must have memento of the three drummer line-up – and of course Fripp’s guitar work is as impeccable and challenging as ever.
Might suit people who like…
Whets the appetite for the UK dates later in the year !
