Ok. Here goes . . .
Buy the damn thing. It is a wonderful experience.
However . . . . I must agree with gnostic on one HUGE point.
And maybe I’m underhandedly commending Fripp’s genious at the board . . .
Having played the F*ck out of my vinyl copy for so many years, that piece has become a part of me. Like a good friend . . . And the "unedited" jam is driving me to absolute distraction. I love David Cross’ work. But the vinyl is just so perfect, I cannot believe the other 3 could play through the violin track that was originally part of the show. I know it’s an "Improv" but DC just played thru the most beautiful 2 minutes of KC there are/were during that jam. That one piece is so distracting to me with the original violins, I must confess to taking a (non vinyl) copy of the original Jam and pasting the newly available ending to it. I then dropped it back where it belongs in my CD & I am continually "stunned" every time I hear it (which was this morning :-)
Sorry to offend, but that one piece was/IS sooo satisfying the way it was (and I do love the tail), it’s the only way I can listen to it. Fripp knew "exactly" what he was doing when he redid this piece for the LP, and I must heartily thank him for having ears, close to my heart.
All in all though - A total 5 Star experience

I absolutely adore this album. Whenever I moved I would use the Asbury Park cut, originally the first track on the album, to balance the sound in my new digs. Agree with what many others have said, contains a lot Read more

Reiterating what most all have said about this 1974 Crim classic: this rocks. Youre buying the best version of Larks’ II, the best version of Lament, the best version of Exiles, the best version of Fracture, and my personal favorite Read more

What the teaser paragraph fails to mention - indeed it misleads by invoking Jobson’s name - is that the ’...Schizoid Man’ on this download IS NOT the one for which he performed the overdub found on the USA album [just Read more

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
