King Crimson - Live In Mexico 2017

Just got Meltdown - Live in Mexico 2017 yesterday and popped in the DVD last night.  It is Great!  It was like being there again but able to see things better and pick on things I did not notice then.  It was fantastic to see them play "A Sailors Tale", they did not play that on the show I was at.

Pre-ordered, should be shipping soon!

^ Fracture is also available on the Vienna 16 live set, if you want a sneak peak. I for one quite like it. It is very dense, especially rhythmically and imo time has not degraded the energy from the finale.

Given they chose such a long selection of songs, it doesn't make sense that they left it out.   As blasphemous as this sounds, this was never one of my favorites, so while it would have been nice to have, I'm personally not too upset about it. I guess, being they only performed it once, it was substandard in Fripp's eyes.

I do love Exiles, specially the live version on USA (or for me more accuratley, Collectable King Crimson Vol 1), but even as much I enjoyed the fact that they played it, and as much of a surprise that it was, indeed I thought the performance was not at the same level as the 70's versions of it (just about the same with Epitaph, I did know they had been playing it, but was not sure if they would keep it for the concert... yet as soon as the first notes played there was just that sense of something wonderful coming... actually I believe it was felt throughout the audience that it was the most welcome song when it began... still the performance just wouldn't reach the height of the original one, which of course I already knew having heard live versions of the new tours).

Looks like I'll have to wait a little before I get my hands on this, but it is most definitely edning up in my apartment at some point. Btw nice to see Prince Rupert's Lament in there. Should be interesting - although I would have preferred to have the entire Lizard piece included as it is a particular fave of mine. It'd be almost impossible with all the different sections and just the sheer number of instruments in play....but you could just bin that in favour of some synths and oil drums perchance? I don't know but three incredible talented drummers could possibly make something audacious and wonderful out of those orchestral sections? I am dreaming out loud of course...
