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.

More Concurrence... Thu., Feb 2, 2006
Posted by: BobLindell
Don’t hesitate - MP3 downloading was seamless; recording sounds wonderful; playing is fiery... Put aside any concerns regarding audio quality or length of applause. A $10 well-spent in my book. Kudos as well to the DGM crew for their work Read more

I haven’t heard the Asbury Park jam in a long time. I have the vinyl, but the pressing was horrible! The audio is relatively clear on this download. The difficulty for me is trying to filter out Cross’ nonsense on Read more

However, I really just wanted to plead to DGM to show Read more

Absolutely great and astonishing! Fripp, Wetton and Bruford at their best, better than in studio recs. Maybe Dave Cross a little in the shade, but anyway balanced in the general sound Read more

Incredible Improv Mon., Dec 26, 2005
Posted by: mflaherty
While not faultless, this concert’s high-points are as good as this band gets--and you know how good that is. The opening Larks I is strong, but it is during Robert’s solo on Night Watch that things really come together for Read more
