King Crimson - Live In Newcastle (December 8, 1972)

Taken from a cassette recording - with audio restored and mastered by DGM - Live in Newcastle, December 8, 1972 showcases the Larks’ Tongues in Aspic line-up shortly before it went on to produce that classic album.

Despite its source, this is the best sounding live recording of the incredible Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Cross and Muir King Crimson configuration.

When this came out in 2006 I remember the blurb saying the artists were trying to imagine if the Chain Reaction sound was applied to R&B. Listening this morning it reminds me of eg James Blake, Lapalux, et al. Funny these parallel evolutions.

I definitely need to listen to this.
This might also be interesting for @kisielk, if I may say so.

Bearing in mind that it’s taken from a 47-year old cassette tape, it’s surprisingly good quality - a bit muddy, as you might expect - but kudos to the technical skills of the DGM engineer(s) for getting it to sound as (relatively) good as it does…

That said, Jamie Muir’s contributions alone are well worth the price of admission… Can’t help wondering how KC might have sounded on Starless And Bible Black if he’d stuck with them!

Edit: Oops, sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to @thom (and @kisielk)! I seem to have sausages for fingers this morning…

I asked myself the same question a long time ago, when I became more attentive to Jamie Muir’s contribution to Lark’s Tongues…
Starless and Bible Black will probably stay my most beloved King Crimson album / compilation, but somehow I miss Jamie Muir.

Really digging the tone and field recording vibes of this one. The actual cassette is due to arrive today in the mail, but in the meantime I’ve been listening to the digital version at least once a day for the past couple days.

This has only just been released without much fanfare, which is surprising, considering it’s Sarah Davachi + Ariel Kalma playing together!

need to make my way thru it
love what i heard so far

never been more impressed by tamura’s work!
very assured spacing and textures
extremely well-engineered

somehow captures more joy in melody and arrangement than i recall in previous collections

songs are cerebral at times
as much i hate the phrase…leaning toward “avant garde” collage but w/o much pretense

recommended

A lot of FLA just doesn’t appeal to me as much as it once did. But I’m currently digging this collection.
