  Good Times May 7, 2011
Written by joshemery
This show was a blast. The band was full of energy and clearly enjoying themselves. The story I heard at the time was that Fripp wanted Bruford to stay off the cymbals. I was very close to the stage and at some point Bruford goes from one side of his kit to the other hitting a lot of cymbals and he keeps hitting them. It appears as if he is intentionally avoiding looking at Fripp. Fripp stops playing, dropping his hand from the guitar looking at Bruford with a frown kind of waving his hand a little like he was hoping to get Bruford’s attention at which point Bruford finally stops hitting the cymbals, looks at Fripp with a huge grin on his face and appears to bark at Fripp. At this Fripp laughs heartily as does Bruford and they all get back to tearing up the place. That’s how I remember it and I’ve always wondered if my take on what went on between Fripp and Bruford was anywhere near what they thought took place.

for some reason, i can’t recognize Starless on this one. With just the bass accompaniment, it’s hard to make out the song. I’ll have to listen to the original Starless to figure this one Read more

You can tell Fripp’s just getting warmed up on this take. It still doesn’t have the full ferocity of the final master but still sheds light on the Beast yet to Read more

This piece certainly makes my day. Lizard has always been my favourite Crimson album and I only wish Mr Fripp would be willing to issue a Lizard box with all the bits and takes that didn’t end up on the Read more

Another missing link Mon., Mar 19, 2012

This is an absolute jewel.
This solo, and the section where Jon Anderson sings over Keith Tippett’s glistening arpeggios have always been my favorite parts of the original Lizard.
It is quite surprising this didn’t make it on the 40th Anniversary Read more

Concurring heartily with previous reviews! I’ve actually "always" loved Lizard (and felt the initial stereo mix and mastering was *state of the art* for 1970 (especially the drum sound!) so i haven’t quite understood all the hubbub over the new Read more

I agree with the above and add the following; this is an astounding breakthrough in guitar playing per se. The use of modes in rock was still rare, and this is one of the purest recorded examples (in this case, Read more

Astoundingly beautiful! The guitar solo from Prince Rupert Laments solidified my lifelong appreciation of Fripp’s guitar playing. To hear this alternate take is beyond thrilling, especially with a previously unheard accompaniment is Read more
