  Sustaining! March 19, 2012
Written by syncopatico
Concurring heartily with previous reviews! I’ve actually "always" loved Lizard (and felt the initial stereo mix and mastering was *state of the art* for 1970 (especially the drum sound!) so i haven’t quite understood all the hubbub over the new Steven Wilson mix enabling this album to be heard clearly and spatially ’correct’ for the first time (in regards to his new stereo mix anyway); 5.1 will have to wait for this sonic resistor.
Getting back to the alternate take selection at hand, it would be interesting to know the order or number of each of the four solos recorded for Prince Rupert’s Lament (obviously we DGM visitors have only heard this alternate and the master so far of course). This particular alternate solo sounds slightly ’busier’ than the master (could this have been an earlier take?), and is as equally as valid, with perhaps a fadeout beginning at approximately 2:00 and ending at 2:12 on that long sustained note/bend being effective (on the alternate reality master/album) before Big Top kicks in.
I agree with the choice of removing the clean chordal accompaniment for the album--its presence makes the solo sound not quite lamentable enough--but is very interesting in this context to hear what RF was originally playing/listening/responding to.

Great, but needs something . . . Wed., Jan 20, 2010

. . . something that’s now provided by Udine from the day before -- an ending. Add the soundboard recordings of "Exiles," "Fracture" and "Larks’ II" from Udine 3/19/74 and you have a great Read more

Udine + Brescia = Great Concert Wed., Jan 20, 2010
Posted by: DeVito
This one seems to be causing some disagreement. I’m with the "hot date" crowd -- this is a good, raw, blasting set. "Guts" is fun, but obviously didn’t suit the band -- maybe they played it on a Read more

Guts Wed., Jan 20, 2010
Posted by: Wordsmith
"Guts on My Side"? Or is it "GODS On My Side"? Or "GOD’S On My Side"? We may never know! Is it just me, or does this proto-song remind anyone else of UK’s "Caesar’s Palace Blues", especially in the verses’ Read more

Not a hot date Tue., Jan 19, 2010
Posted by: gasmrv
In my view this download is only worth it for collectors as it offers the rare track Guts On My Side, which I can understand why it was quickly dropped by the band, ie it’s not really worth it Read more

Keeves again. My computer did not correctly award the intended 3star rating, but then who am I to rate King Crimson material. So, for the sound quality 3stars, novelty and collectability quotient Read more
