For years I have been a huge fan of King Crimson, Robert Fripp and all the different projects that come out on the label Discipline Global Mobile, or for short DGM. I have listened a lot (and still do) to the studio albums from King Crimson and the large amount of live performances that is available. Recently I decided that I would begin to give the many releases from the so called King Crimson collectors club my attention. KCCC is a series of releases, that on this moment (may 2010) counts 40, mostly live recordings. The first Collectors Club release I am going to write about is a concert from june 11th 2000 from Warsaw. The music on the 2 cd's is from the period in KC's massive production, around the Construction of light release. A release generating very different oppinions among the progheads of the world - some like it and some absolutely don't - I myself am kind of in the middle, enjoying most of the music. King Crimson was on this occasion Robert Fripp on guitar, Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Trey Gunn on touch guitar, ashbory bass and talker and last but certainly not least Pat Mastelotto on electric drums. The concert has a lot of improvisation in the well known tracks, which is one of the things that makes KC such a fantastic band to listen to live. Your ears are treated with great and amazing music such as "Prozakc blues", "Dinosaur", "Vrooom", "Three of a perfect pair", "The deception of the trush" and ending it all with a mouth dropping cover version of the David Bowie track "Heroes". One of the things that is great about the Collectors club releases is that they are full concerts, not editing of different concerts. If you are a fan of The mighty King Crimson, there is no way you can avoid these cd's with good conscience. This concert was awesome, and for all of us that did not have the opportunity to be there, this is the only listening way. Truly a great release that can not be recommended enough.
