King Crimson "The Noise- Live at Frejus" 1982

The crowd at this show in Frejus sound very keen indeed considering that not all of them would have been there to see Crimso.[endtease] Mind you, situated somewhere between the rich playground of St.Tropez and the movie star haunt of Cannes, this was a perfect opportunity to soak up the Crims beneath the Gallic sun. As “up” as a helium–filled kite, let’s be honest if the rolling intro to Waiting Man doesn’t put a smile on your face and set your toe atapping, then there’s something seriously wrong with you. Ebullient as ever, Belew the consummate showman gets Crimson’s Roxy Music support slot off to a great start.
