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.

for some reason, i can’t recognize Starless on this one. With just the bass accompaniment, it’s hard to make out the song. I’ll have to listen to the original Starless to figure this one Read more

Recollection Thu., Mar 15, 2012
Posted by: JohnnyWetton
In my diary entry for the night of 1st July 1974, I assess the evening with ’best Crimso gig ever’. High praise for a show which nearly didn’t happen at all, and an out-of-doors one in a notoriously difficult city Read more

What John Wetton and Robert Fripp totally ring true. But what the audience felt is also part of the experience that summer night in NYC. I was there, and I will never forget Read more

I have often said that I would buy every show of this Crimson’s Summer 1974 U.S. tour if they were all made available, and I still mean it. DGM is trying to oblige, which I appreciate Read more

Too bad the recording of the April 28, 1974 concert is incomplete. I was in attendance that night, along with my band mates. The concert was opened by Aerosmith, which we all found to be a rather strange Read more
