Ok. Here goes . . .
Buy the damn thing. It is a wonderful experience.
However . . . . I must agree with gnostic on one HUGE point.
And maybe I’m underhandedly commending Fripp’s genious at the board . . .
Having played the F*ck out of my vinyl copy for so many years, that piece has become a part of me. Like a good friend . . . And the "unedited" jam is driving me to absolute distraction. I love David Cross’ work. But the vinyl is just so perfect, I cannot believe the other 3 could play through the violin track that was originally part of the show. I know it’s an "Improv" but DC just played thru the most beautiful 2 minutes of KC there are/were during that jam. That one piece is so distracting to me with the original violins, I must confess to taking a (non vinyl) copy of the original Jam and pasting the newly available ending to it. I then dropped it back where it belongs in my CD & I am continually "stunned" every time I hear it (which was this morning :-)
Sorry to offend, but that one piece was/IS sooo satisfying the way it was (and I do love the tail), it’s the only way I can listen to it. Fripp knew "exactly" what he was doing when he redid this piece for the LP, and I must heartily thank him for having ears, close to my heart.
All in all though - A total 5 Star experience

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
