Written by sfstinson

Too bad the recording of the April 28, 1974 concert is incomplete.  I was in attendance that night, along with my band mates.  The concert was opened by Aerosmith, which we all found to be a rather strange coupling.

My recollection is that, right after Bob asked the dude screaming down front to "... curb your enthusiasm, sir...", as evidenced by the "RF Announcement" track here, Crimson ripped into "Larks Tongue in Aspic - Part 1" and topped off the night with an encore rendition of "21st Century Schizoid Man".  There may have been another song in there somewhere, but is was nearly 38 years ago for me, and, while the excellence of that night’s performance is as fresh a memory as if it had been only last week, memorizing set lists has never been my strong suit.

I’ve seen this gig listed as being in Dieburg, rather than Augsburg, and at a what sounds like a smallish venue. RF is low in the mix on this recording, indicating a small Read more

Love this German tour...   Sat., Apr 13, 2013
Posted by: jeffoaster
The concerts from the German leg of Crimso’s ’74 tour are all top notch, and all bring something special to the table. There are some interesting nuances to this show. There is nothing particularly special about the opening improv and Read more

A Testament to George Chkiantz   Thu., Mar 14, 2013
Posted by: syncopatico
Whenever I hear recorded evidence of King Crimson in 1973/74 I’m reminded of the superb audio recording/engineering talent(s) of George Chkiantz! Each instrument can be heard clearly in the overall mix: the guitar occupying its proper space, a full Read more

More please...   Wed., Mar 13, 2013
Posted by: jeffoaster
Judging by this performance and the Atlanta one the following week, Crimso were really on fire at this point - moreso than usual. While the sound quality isn’t pristine and has some occasional dropouts, it is certainly listenable Read more

Lovely   Sat., Mar 9, 2013
Posted by: myshadow
Now we have around five minutes of music from Starless And Bible Black, and these ’studies’ are lovely.  I too, am amazed these weren’t added to the 40th anniversary edition.  I know, often artists feel that the final takes are Read more
