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.

Of the Highest Musical and Sonic Quality Mon., Dec 18, 2006
Posted by: mouthface
There is nothing completely mind-blowingly unique to this concert (except CAT FOOD!...and the fact that the sound quality is about as good as Night Watch!!), and if you have The Great Deceiver you’ve got about half of this concert Read more

Performance and Sound are both Pristine Mon., Dec 18, 2006
Posted by: halbie
This is a home run in all respects, particularly the sound quality (even at MP3) I’d put it on any "must have" KC list. The work-in-practice Fracture is worth the price of admission by Read more

Like their June 1974 gig in Asbury Park NJ, King Crimson’s gig at the Apollo in Glascow, Scotland on October 23, 1973 has gained legendary status. Part of this concert was used in the band’s classic 1974 release "Starless and Read more
