Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I say "See What You Missed" because so many music lovers never got a taste of how great this band was during this incarnation. These guys were full of invention and taste. Robert Fripp (guitar) continued to steward the band into new, highly progressive territory and continued to bring his significant skills in composition to the table. Adrian Belew (guitar, vocals) was in his prime, like a mature Jimi Hendrix, a master player and an engaging frontman. Tony Levin (bass & stick) contributed perfectly tasteful bass parts and Bill Bruford (drums & percussion) was at his absolute best during this era, when he was experimenting with electronic drums. Bruford's parts are constantly tasty and add an element of anarchy and excitement to this intricate music.
"The Noise" from 1982 is a great filmed performance that shows the band at their best. The 1984 performance is crisper and contains more material, and is great also.
The music mixes sonic experimentation ala Hendrix in his prime with a framework influenced by African & Asian music as well as 20th Century minimalism (Glass, Reich). Perfectly. Great band, great DVD. They tended to make fans out of whoever saw them live and I would guess this DVD will make you a fan of this band if you aren't already.

Adrian Belew guitar & lead vocal Robert Fripp guitar Tony Levin bass, Stick & vocal Bill Bruford drums & percussionBrand new DVD of King Crimson in the 1980's. Showcasing one of the defining live acts of the period. As Robert Fripp puts it "Records and live performance are two worlds. One is a love letter, the other a hot date. Crimson were always the band for a hot date."These two concerts offer different and contrasting snapshots of the 80's Crimson: Live in Frejus, heavily featuring material from the album Beat and filmed on tour in Europe with Roxy Music; and Three of a Perfect Pair showcasing the band's triumphant 1984 Japanese performances.Three Of A Perfect Pair - Live in Japan 1984Track Listing: Three Of A Perfect Pair No Warning Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part III Thela Hun Ginjeet Frame By Frame Matte Kudasai Industry Dig Me Indiscipline Satori In Tangier Man With An Open Heart Waiting Man Sleepless Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part II Elephant Talk HeartbeatThe Noise - Live in Frejus 1982Track Listing: Waiting Man Matte Kudasai The Sheltering Sky Neil And Jack And Me Indiscipline Heartbeat Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part IIDVD Extras: Sleepless video - Tony's Road Photos - Discography
