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

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

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
