Movie Reviews of King Crimson - Neal and Jack and Me (Live 1982-84)
Movie Review: AMAZING!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, where to start with this? Once upon a time, I wrote a review for this, way back when I had dial up, I wrote a review and it was under my wife's name. Well, she didn't like that, and she is no longer my wife, but I digress. I just watched some of this the other night, and I feel the need to put in a new review. This performance is just radical. Belew and Fripp on guitar are all over the place, from atmospheric passages to metallic soloing and chords. Tony Levin on bass is incredible! He WORKS it!! It is also very cool to see him on stick and keyboards. Bill Bruford on drums is fantastic! Whether he is hitting is regular kit, or using the electronic drums, or the effects boards, it is just crazy to see him do his thing. The music is complicated, fresh, invigorating! People like to bag on the 80's for music, but there is no doubt a lot of the albums that came out of 80-90 period are quality art. Some Crimson fans also like to bag on this period of the band's history, I don't know what to say about that, because I really enjoy all their stuff. I would suggest getting the Discipline album and listening to it. If you enjoy any of it, then you should check out this live in Japan show. If you still like what you see and hear, then I would also get Three of a Perfect Pair, and Beat. cheers.
Summary of King Crimson - Neal and Jack and Me (Live 1982-84)
Adrian Belew ? guitar & lead vocalRobert Fripp ? guitar
Tony Levin ? bass, Stick & vocal
Bill Bruford ? drums & percussion
Brand new DVD of King Crimson in the 1980's. Showcasing one of the defining live acts of the period. As Robert Fripp puts it "Records and live performance are two worlds. One is a love letter, the other a hot date. Crimson were always the band for a hot date."
These two concerts offer different and contrasting snapshots of the 80's Crimson: Live in Frejus, heavily featuring material from the album Beat and filmed on tour in Europe with Roxy Music; and Three of a Perfect Pair showcasing the band's triumphant 1984 Japanese performances.

DVD Extras: Sleepless video - Tony's Road Photos - Discography
Neal and Jack and Me resurrects two stellar and long out-of-print King Crimson videos, Three of a Perfect Pair: Live in Japan 1984 and The Noise: Live in Frejus 1982, lacing them with a few tasty extras, including a video clip for "Sleepless." Crimson's 1980s lineup--Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, and Bill Bruford--is for many fans the quintessential incarnation of Fripp's still-evolving cast of virtuosic characters. In both shows, these artists embody all that's great in progressive music: instrumental prowess, yes, but also deft interplay, daring improvisation, and a synthesis of unique musical visions into something far greater than the considerable sum of its parts.
The Frejus show was filmed, while the Japan show was videotaped. Picture quality isn't great, but the DVD improves on the contrast and color vibrancy of the original releases. Likewise, sound quality is adequate: neither exemplary nor substandard. It's all about the music. Note: The version of Three of a Perfect Pair: Live in Japan 1984 included on this release is that of the 1991 reissue, which has a slightly different running order than the original 1984 release and omits the song "Discipline." --Michael Mikesell
