This is the first King Crimson performance I have been able to attend and what a fantastic performance it was! I was able to sit very close to the stage, maybe about four or five paces from Mr. Belew. Needless to say, when this concert was selected for release I was extatic! The recording does not disappoint. Sure, it sounds slightly sterile since it is a soundboard recording, but to let that get in the way of listening would be a huge loss. Maybe I am a bit biased since I was able to hear this in person, but this is firmly in my top 5 King Crimson concerts of all time. A particular favorite of mine is "One Time." Fripp’s solo on this song is as beautiful as anything he has ever played. I would recommend this one especially if you are a big fan of Tony Levin. The whole band was on and together but Tony’s playing stands out in a big way. This one really is a must hear performance and a great representation of this unique, and unfortunately, short lived line up. Thank you King Crimson for playing this music and thank you for caring about your audience and making your live recordings available in such a nice way. I wish all musicians had a site like this one with such a great selection.

From a skeptic: SWEET Sun., Aug 24, 2008
Posted by: jacethecrowl
I was little weary of the song list here, like a warmed-over double trio set, but I was hooked from TCOL. I never thought I’d say that, because this song has always left me Read more

Smiling about Chicago Sun., Aug 24, 2008
Posted by: theundercoverman
So, it was the drums all along. Putting two, mostly acoustic drummers together, with the usual guitarist’s wet dream of Fripp and Belew, and inviting Tony Levin to bounce around with his stick, in between the two happy couples, is Read more

Excellent download Sun., Aug 24, 2008

The sound quality of this download is outstanding, despite a few buried guitar lines. The performance is loose yet driving, and it sounds like they’re having Read more

Not So Great Recording Sat., Aug 23, 2008
Posted by: ScottM
I’m sure it was a lot more fun in person with big waves of electric noise hitting people. On this, which sounds like a soundboard recording, as per usual for those, there’s not much energy, the drum sound is unappealing, Read more

I have seen Crimson every show since 1974. The two shows in Philly were the best I have ever seen/heard. If you were not one of the lucky few to catch them on this abreviated tour, at least this will Read more
