The Real USA December 24, 2005
Written by mflaherty
No question about it, the sound quality and the performances here are top rate. If you don’t have the cd issue of USA, there’s no reason to hesitate: buy this download. On that I base my 5 star rating. Less obvious is the value for those of us who have the cd. My guess is that if you have to ask, you shouldn’t bother, while if, like many of us, you knew without thinking about it that this was one you wanted, you won’t be disappointed. I’m among those who wanted to see this release--Cross’s contribution returned and no edits--for the USA cd. To be fair, there would have been complaints no matter what decision was made: someone wouldn’t like it. I agree with others who have said that the improv is nice to have, but the original edits were good choices, while the extended "Easy Money" is incredible, and may be worth the price of the download on is own. It’s very nice to finally have the full set with the "real" violinist.

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

Awful? Yikes. That’s a bit harsh me thinks. Anything that I can get my hands on from this band is worth the price. I remember years ago starving for material from this era and now its all over Read more

Lovely snippet of late 73-74 Crim--Fripp is very playful on this show--Easy Money and Lament, in particular. Bruford is manic and always interesting (how many drummers to you actively tune into when listening to a rock group--many provide a backbeat Read more

For me, this was the finest incarnation of Crimson. I equate their performances with the finest live jazz (ie Miles, Coltrne, Evans, etc.) and you can’t go wrong with any of the fine DGM releases from this Read more
