Something that was a lot of fun for me was assembling the "Crimson Family Tree Segment" which followed. The version of "Mars" (from Holst's The Planets, sometimes known as "The Devil's Triangle" in Crimson hands) is particularly malevolent, and features what must be the most extreme Mellotron playing in the history of the instument no wonder the band had such trouble keeping those things in tune. Particular highlights include the concert-only track "Doctor Diamond", here from a rollicking show in Columbus, OH and featuring a very impressionistic violin from David Cross. While the two best shows ever remain the "official" CD-release at Asbury Park, NJ and the DGM-live download from Glasgow, Scotland, this hardly begins to delve into the complete genius these shows comprise. Of course, you can sample the sounds of the various concerts from RA#30, below, and then decide which ones suit your fancy.yet another bit of giving and altruism from your friend, DJ Timothy of Radio Anthrocide.Īs for the particulars of the show, it is very hard to screw things up when drawing from a library of such estimable worth as the King Crimson archives. Peruse this site and have your credit card ready- it is very easy to spend a couple hundred dollars adding to your library from this amazing archive. I can start by saying this: thanks to the efforts of Robert Fripp, we have an invaluable resource for live Crimson, spanning the entire history of the band- almost all of this show was taken from concerts I purchased from DGM Live which is probably the finest resource of its kind for any band on the entirety of the Internets. There is, of course, very little I can possibly add to the mountain of literature extant upon what is, quite obviously, my favorite band ever. But enough "whittering", let's then be on with the essay, shall we?Īnd now Radio Anthrocide gets down to serious business, with The Crim all night long on what was an eventful (and exhausting) RA#30. 1: Mas.At Left: Bruford and King Fripp from RA's most beloved era of The Crim, with Mellotron and lots of cymbals.
