King Crimson – Palazzo Del Sport, Rome, Italy – April 6, 1973 (Flac)

Jumble Of Lies (Siréne-120)

No dia 6 de Abril de 1973, a formação de King Crimson com Bill Bruford na bateria, David Cross no violino e teclados, e John Wetton no baixo e vocais, juntamente com Robert Fripp, se apresentavam pela primeira vez em Roma. E Fripp enfatiza na ocasião á animada platéia presente, o quão feliz é para ele o primeiro tour da banda na Itália e que espera que hajam muitas mais no futuro.

O grupo têm uma excelente performance, e ao meu ver, sem dúvida cabe ressaltar as duas improvisações, a primeira um destaque especial por se tratar de uma versão embrionária de Fracture, o que torna o evento único, e a segunda se qualifica tranquilamente como uma das melhores improvisações da banda em sua trajetória. Como não podia ser diferente “21st Century Schizoid Man” é outro grande destaque, com Fripp super afiado. Boa audição!

Abaixo um trecho da resenha do excelente site Collectors Music Reviews feito em 2006:

Jumble Of Lies is the first release on silver of the rare spring performance in Rome in April. “Doctor Diamond” opens the show and runs right into “Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Part I”. 

Afterwards Fripp says how happy he is for King Crimson’s first tour of Italy and hopes there will be many more in the future before a long version of “Easy Money” with some different, inaudible lyrics about a snake. The first improvisation contains a long “Fracture”-like phrase. 

A second source is used for the first forty-eight seconds of “Book Of Saturday”. The second improv is an eight-minute Bruford led impressionistic nightmare that segues into “Talking Drum”. 

“21st Century Schizoid Man” is the encore. A source floating around claims to have a second encore “Peace- A Theme” and a reprise of “Doctor Diamond”. That isn’t included here and its authenticity is disputed. 

The packing includes several great photos of the band. Overall this is a really good release and the first silver Crimso release on Sirene in over a year. The label can fill a big need with future releases since Fripp’s attention of late has shifted to the KCCC CD releases to posting tapes online for download. 

Perhaps Sirene can make some of those tapes available in the future since not all collectors are sold on downloading tapes. Besides Sirene always do a spectacular job and the mastering of these documents and could do as good a job with them as Fripp himself.
