The sound quality from the cassette, as you’ll notice from the samples, is significantly better than the cassette that was the source of "Earthbound". Its still short of a high speed reel recording and you’ll hear some hiss in the quiet passages of "Fracture" but the performance is so good, your ears can’t help but focus on the music. I like the fact that this recording was not carefully assembled from multi-tracks and given post-production fix-its. What we get here is what they played and the best the sound engineer could capture on the fly. The mix is surprisingly good and the limitations of the 2-track cassette keeps ’em honest!

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

Awful? Yikes. That’s a bit harsh me thinks. Anything that I can get my hands on from this band is worth the price. I remember years ago starving for material from this era and now its all over Read more

Another incomplete show.... But full price.... I don’t understand that!!!!
Track 1-4: awful, but track: 5-9: very good.
In my opinion: nothing special.

Lovely snippet of late 73-74 Crim--Fripp is very playful on this show--Easy Money and Lament, in particular. Bruford is manic and always interesting (how many drummers to you actively tune into when listening to a rock group--many provide a backbeat Read more

can't beat any performance with this line up! Sun., Dec 16, 2007
Posted by: markabauer
For me, this was the finest incarnation of Crimson. I equate their performances with the finest live jazz (ie Miles, Coltrne, Evans, etc.) and you can’t go wrong with any of the fine DGM releases from this Read more
