Boy, can you hear everyone - thanks to the self-absorbed ’audient’ near the soundboard, we get all the best & worst aspects of KC’s soundboard / audience mix. On the other hand, we also hear every member of the band, and certainly louder than the punter(s). Everyone appears to be in fine form, and Robert’s introductory Soundscape is worth a disc all by itself. In fact, this show as a whole is quite noteworthy, with its unique setlist and red-hot performance (special kudos to Adrian for his 21SCM solo). 4/5 stars for sound quality - very good yet not quite excellent - and for the guy near the soundboard who needed a muzzling, but is now preserved for all posterity as part & parcel of this performance (as if on equal par with the musicians).

I’m more familiar with the 1970 to 1974 version of King Crimson than I am with this line up but I bought this  CD based on what I read about the show and I must say I’m quite Read more

I’m reluctant to review any type of artistic work, it’s all subjective and opinions are like..., well we all have one.  You get the idea. However, of all the many shows I’ve downloaded off of this site this has Read more

If, like me, you have many many versions of most of these tracks, then, like me, you might have groaned when this one was released.  With respect to set list, recording quality, and performance, Vrooom Vrooom is still the best Read more

1996 tour King Crimson rocks. Each and every track intense. If I were making a playlist of the best of the Double Trio, most of these tracks would make it on Read more

At long last DGM has released a complete show from 1996! Until now we have only been teased with parts of shows from Mexico City. Versions of songs are generally better from Mexico City, so I still eagerly await a Read more

This show is full of energy but the sound is not as good as on Vroom Vroom.  Instrumental tunes are great but most of the Thrak and Discipline songs are better played on Vroom Vroom Read more
