LIVE IN ARGENTINA

Saddened by the passing of this musical icon, for the past few days I was listening his music, and the bands he was involved with during his tenure. I came across this live release from 2003, recorded in Argentina. On two CD's you get a nice mix from KC to his solo material. The set draws heavily on John's Asia days, but also features pieces originally recorded by King Crimson ('Easy Money', 'Starless' & 'Book of Saturday'). As well as 'Caught in the Crossfire', the title track of john's first solo album.

In addition to John, the line-up included Thomas Lang on drums, Martin Orford of IQ & Jadis on keyboards & Billy Liesegang on guitar. The sound mix is clean and not over produced, which is refreshing in this day and age. As a drummer, a special treat is Thomas Lang's solo, opening Disc 2.
