Casino Asbury Park, New Jersey |
 Concrete cavern July 13, 2011
Written by NotoriousA
I was there for this show, at the Casino. I took a bus by myself from north Jersey. It was general admission, with no seating on the ground floor. Though at the front end of the line, I opted for an upstairs center first row seat to enjoy a panoramic view and stereo sound. One outta two wasn’t bad. The view was great but the acoustics in the concrete cavern were terrible and I regretted not being closer. Nonetheless this was my only regret. I’ll always remember Bill’s drum roll and rim shot, starting the funk-driven improv instead of an anticipated free-form one. Fripp sitting in the dark the entire show, no doubt pretentious to some but cool to me. A beautiful Exiles. The suprise of the Mellotron at the last ascendance of Fracture. I still love the Mellotron! And Starless heard for the first time. There was only one way to descibe that moment: King Crimson. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be, but nonetheless I thank Fripp and DGM for these exhaustive archive releases.

One of the best bootleg remastered Wed., Jun 25, 2008

I was waiting for a long time to have spring 1973 shows : they are in my humble opinion very adventurous and powerful (the influence of Jamie Muir is still there) and the different exchanges between Cross and Fripp were Read more

I have been hoping for a good representation of Diamond from this tour, as I was at the June 16 Berkeley show (unforgettable if only due to the fact the Boys opened, inexplicably, for The Eagles) and have never gotten Read more

The sound quality from the cassette, as you’ll notice from the samples, is significantly better than the cassette that was the source of "Earthbound". Its still short of a high speed reel recording and you’ll hear some hiss in the Read more

Not bad for a bootleg. Mr. Bruford comes through loud and clear throughout. Even the ’trons sound good on Easy Money and Exiles. Messrs. Fripp & Wetton still sound a bit muddled at times, though, but the points they make Read more
