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.

Superb   Sun., Apr 9, 2006

This is an awesome concert. Yeah it’s a bootleg , but what you have here is , undoubtably , the best quality version of this concert available. Without the inclusion of such bootlegs gems like this are not available to Read more

Tingle factor   Fri., Apr 7, 2006
Posted by: discipline
For me, this recording definitely has the tingle factor, and I don’t care two hoots that the recording isn’t soundboard quality. Favourite tracks so far - yet another brilliant versionof ’Easy Money’ and ’Fracture’ hoisted me by the seat of Read more

King Crimson - October 6, 1973 - Arlington   Mon., Mar 20, 2006
Posted by: gboland
I was so pleasesd to see this concert nominated for download, I’ve got a copy of the vinyl LP Senabular and it always was one of favourite bootlegs. The Improvised track (which I dubbed Senabular (not original I know)) was Read more

Excellent but for the sound   Sun., Mar 19, 2006
Posted by: GregK1
Great performance, but the sound quality really does detract from the overall quality. It is hard to hear the bass at times. This is comparable to the Zoom club 2 disc KCCC set in that the band performance must be Read more

Not Starless   Sun., Mar 19, 2006
Posted by: JamieC5361
I am a big lifelong King Crimson fan. The "Red" period lineup of Fripp/Wetton/Bruford/Cross is by far my favorite. This performance of that lineup is instrumentally and technically as good as it Read more

One of their best   Sat., Mar 18, 2006

I had this as a vinyl bootleg years ago, and so glad to hear it again digital. To me I thought this was one of the best 73-74 era Crimso concerts Read more

This IS the Real Crimson Deal   Wed., Mar 15, 2006
Posted by: 5phil8
I don’t know if this is the same version of the Arlington performance that I sent to Mr. Smith, but I heavily flogged this concert to him in correspondence - sending both audio CD and FLAC versions to get his Read more

Of all the bootlegs posted, this is by far the best   Wed., Mar 15, 2006
Posted by: Rhymes_With_Eloquent
I’m surprised at the questions on why this should be released.  In case no one read the description, there is a bit in Fracture that has never been released.  Plus there’s Read more
