...Unsurprisingly there were encores; a funky and flashing Elephant Talk with a second return for a thumping rampage through Thela Hun Ginjeet complete with Belew's recorded description of the event that inspired the piece just down the road in Notting Hill Gate all those years ago.

After events in a certain other London theatre of the same vintage not too long ago it might be inappropriate to say that they took the roof off the Empire tonight, but when utilising metaphors it's safe to say that that's exactly what they did. The whole evening was captivating, just superb and another gig worthy of the long journey to London. 2014 is shaping up to be the Year of King Crimson and many of us are on tenterhooks at the thought of what Robert Fripp may have in store for us but tonight was the perfect celebration of the mid-period of Crimson's existence and for that we should all be grateful.
