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.

Sounds great! Wed., Aug 20, 2008

Listening to these samples, I’m struck by the depth of the "soundfield" for lack of a better word. An excellent sounding recording that reveals many fine pings and bangs. Ah, if only DGM accepted checks or money orders, so I Read more
