The definitive live CD fro mthe 1996 Double Trio, a vertiable Symphony of Noise. The first CD, live in Mexico City, features the muscular new material from the period, while the second CD, lvie on Broadway, NYC, revisits much of the repertoire of the 1981-84 Crimson. A must have record for all King Crimson fans. Includes 20 pages of photos and band diaries. Review: Must have for KC fans. - Amazing CD set, a must for any King Crimson fans! AAA+ Review: The best - Great

Vroom to the power of two
Vroom Vroom is a tale of two performances, one done in Mexico City in 1996, and one done in New York City in 1995. The performance in Mexico City is flawless and very exciting. Not only is the band spot on with the music, but the audience is very involved as well. Just listen to the crowd reaction when they play Red and 21st Century Schizoid Man. The second performance in New York City, while great has a flaw or two in it that, I think, pulls down the rating to 4.5 stars. For the most part, the performance is typically brilliant, but then we stumble into the rushed Indiscipline. I noticed in the liner notes that Trey Gunn felt that things kind of got away from the band in this performance, and I would have to agree. Thankfully, the band makes a nice recovery. One track that I think was unnecessarily added was 'Free As A Bird', a track from the Belew album 'BelewPrints'. The biggest complaint is that Belew spaces on the lyrics, but the crowd is gracious. I'd rather have done without this track. But the cd ends quite nicely with a brilliant performance (done in LA in 1995), of Walking On Air. So, while the second performance seems slightly flawed to me, I'd still recommend this cd to King Crimson fans. If a double cd seems too much, there's an abbreviated EP titled Vroom that should satisfy the curious.

One of the best live albums ever recorder
One of the best live albums ever recorder. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I DO think it's good. The fact is.. No matter how closely I study it. No matter how I take it apart. No matter how I break it down. It remains consistent...I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE IT!!!!!

Excellent CD from the Prog Rock masters
Great CD. I am a long-time Crimson fan. Excellent musicianship -- as always with King Crimson. Vroom has its instrumental similarities to the song, "Red;" but Vroom is more progressive and upbeat. The rest of the CD has some great songs, as well.

Great Live Album
This is certainly an excellent live recording. It is even better than the shows captured on "Eyes Wide Open". Recommended!
