I love this show, it is a good portrait of the transition from the muir-era improv style into a new one. the crystallizations are morphing slightly and it seems like the improv before talking drum is a prelude atmosphere which it would continue to be over the next whatever 16 months?. the other improvs are quite exciting, at one point Fripp sounds much like he does on heavenly music corporation, getting dreamy space lazer tones to spray the audience with inner revelations. actually i thought the larks1 was a little brown, like bruford and wetton were just going TOO fast, to the point that it became inappropriate. this leads to, in my opinion, the guitar part ceasing for a few seconds and maybe getting flustered...the only real sound quality issues for me are during larks2, the cymbals are just eating the face of everything els in the building, which, on this fidelity level, just don’t cut the biscuit. for fans of the exiles solos by fripp, don’t get too excited.....i always love those moments, because sometimes if the mood is just right, one can have a tingling spine sensation or the hairs may stand on end.......but this one is just nice, pleasant and tasteful, yet not such much bristling with subtle mysterious powers. one more thing, the ending of DD is like, outta site, that last little speed lick they used to use. it’s real nice, but i’m glad they switched to the slower more demonic middle section

Terrific show, horrible sound Fri., Nov 16, 2012
Posted by: DarrylDardenne
Yeah this show is a bootleg quality audience recording that is saved from the garbage can of irrelevance by the excellence of the performance. Jamie Muir had just left the band and the instrumental adventurism that he brought is still Read more

Great snapshot of the band in transition Wed., Oct 10, 2012
Posted by: jeffoaster
Okay, first off, this concert only gets four stars because there are many more concerts available with better sound quality. It’s certainly listenable - but the sound is a bit ropey, dodgy, clunky (or whatever other made-up words you feel Read more

It should be soundboard Wed., Sep 1, 2010
Posted by: Radiolux
I’m surprised we only have a bootleg cassette source for that one. Why ? Because that show was professionally recorded. It was part of the "Musicorama" concerts, broadcasted in France every sunday night by a radio (Europe 1), and I Read more

Olympia '73 review in Best Sat., Apr 18, 2009
Posted by: calyx_AL
There was a review of this concert in the French magazine Best, by prog-friendly journalist Herve Picart. Evidently he was given some sort of setlist to base his account on, since he names two otherwise "untitled as yet" Read more

The sound is a little dodgy, but there is no denying that this lineup blistered the paint off the walls whenever they took up the cause. And they take it up with passion here in Read more

We all love Crim. At what point do we say these recording are not worth distributing?? The quality of sound is awful, the performance was good.

Performance is fine, just like most of the time. Sound is a bit rough, but overall, I’m glad it was released.
