Seeing Red

This is weird. If anyone had ever told me that my all-time favourite version of Crimso's Red would not actually feature KC themselves I would never have come close to believing them. But I reckon the one that features on the latest series of Daryl's House fits the bill. It's the two keyboards that do it for me, especially the honky-tonk stylings of Mr Hall himself. And to think the band were playing the piece for the first time ever - with its steely-eyed progenitor along with them. Talk about nerve; talk about edge.

Great to see the Frippster clearly having the time of his life, by the way.
