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.

Crim heads! Speaking for the ’completists’ among us, it’s great to have whole shows of excellent sound quality. Another early version of Fracture with a different improv bit than Arlington is much Read more

Best live renditions of Larks Tongue in Aspic material that I’ve heard, particularly Larks Tongue Part 1, Talking Drum and Larks Tongue Part 2. I do prefer, however, the guitar solo in the Jesery (Asbury Park) version of Easy Read more

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

Posted by: LouieB
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

Brilliant sound! Sun., Dec 17, 2006

It is indeed great to have this legendary set. What’s more, as I now have a truly unseemly amount of disk space (for an iBook, at least) this was my first adventure in Read more
