Notes
The debut show for Mel, Boz, RF and Ian and what a fantastic atmosphere this soundboard recording has! The band are incredibly animated, clearly delighted to be away from their basement rehearsal room and obviously enjoying the liberation of being onstage. The shouts of encouragement and approval being exchanged – often in mid-song – give this recording an astonishing intimacy. Highlights include Fripp’s razor-sharp lines in the chorus section of Cirkus. There's an enchanting version of Lady of The Dancing Water with winsome backing vocals from Ian, trimmed with some rich baritone sax. And listen out for the running lines and slashing chords from LTIA pt1 as they make their debut during a radically different and experimental Sailor’s Tale.

      Awesome, Sun., Dec 20, 2009

I do not care what anyone else says - this is my favorite KC line up of all time. The VCS3 makes it all that better and all that more historic! Hands down Cirkus was/is the greatest song ever written by Fripp in my humble estimation with the greatest Sinfield lyric EVER. I have never tired of the song since day one of its release in the States. KC was, and forever will be miles ahead of any rock group in the period of 69 thru 74 no matter which line up was there. Which of course brings me to one conclusion for this - RF and RF only. It was his spirit and soul that always was behind everything. Each musician who has ever been included in the KC group I recognize as an individual but they have all been touched by RFs soul, hence without Fripp where and what would have been? Please forgive me for placing so much responsibility on the Master. Some lights shine brighter than others.
