What better way to begin the month than with a bit of the only surviving footage of the five-piece Crimso who recorded Larks' Tongues in Aspic? Wonder what would have happened had the brilliant percussionist Jamie Muir stayed with them. Good as the four-piece were, as captured on The Great Deceiver box set, there was something magical about the band I had the immense good fortune to witness live at the Hard Rock Manchester prior to the loss of their genuinely wild man.
Just love what he does with the bird whistles below the David Cross violin solo that closes the footage. And just hate the fact that the tape runs out at that point.
