Drum Machine March 14, 2006
Written by DGM Live
When asked about the drum machine on the improv, and possibly twitching at the memory of it all, Bill replied “Bloody hell--the drum machine. It never had a name--other than the drumbox--and no identifiable manufacturer. Of UK origin certainly, but I probably picked it up at a car boot sale. It would play you "waltz", "swing", "quickstep", and "latin" , all of which were awful. But if you jammed certain of these buttons down at the same time, you could get an approximation of something useable. Which is what I did. Whatever the technology did, it was never enough, and the musician always began to explore the things it didn’t do. Much more interesting. That applied to mellotrons, guitar synths, and spectacularly Simmons electronic drums, which were never designed to sound like Waiting Man. And which is why I got through drum-techs at the rate of about one a week.”

If you’re going through the reviews of this one, you’ll no doubt notice that this one has been around for awhile. Indeed, I bought it about five years ago Read more

Origin of the Arlington gig Fri., Jul 25, 2008
Posted by: desol81
This was a very popular and easily available boot in my college years(my roommate still has the vinyl). Wasn’t this from a King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast? Perhaps memory fails me. But I do remember the "get on down" stage Read more

Arlington, Texas October 06, 1973

Not bad for a bootleg. Mr. Bruford comes through loud and clear throughout. Even the ’trons sound good on Easy Money and Exiles. Messrs. Fripp & Wetton still sound a bit muddled at times, though, but the points they make Read more

Absolutely intense. One of the best perfomances I have heard from any line up. David’s Viola/Violin is much more promenant than any other recording I have heard.

Breathtaking Thu., Mar 1, 2007

The sound quality-excellent, for what it is. If concerned, download the mp3 rather than the FLAC. The performance is intense. The guitar on Easy Money just about stiffs JW again, and am I really to believe that these boys are Read more

This is an awesome concert. Yeah it’s a bootleg , but what you have here is , undoubtably , the best quality version of this concert available. Without the inclusion of such bootlegs gems like this are not available to Read more

Tingle factor Fri., Apr 7, 2006
Posted by: discipline
For me, this recording definitely has the tingle factor, and I don’t care two hoots that the recording isn’t soundboard quality. Favourite tracks so far - yet another brilliant versionof ’Easy Money’ and ’Fracture’ hoisted me by the seat of Read more

I was so pleasesd to see this concert nominated for download, I’ve got a copy of the vinyl LP Senabular and it always was one of favourite bootlegs. The Improvised track (which I dubbed Senabular (not original I know)) was Read more

Excellent but for the sound Sun., Mar 19, 2006
Posted by: GregK1
Great performance, but the sound quality really does detract from the overall quality. It is hard to hear the bass at times. This is comparable to the Zoom club 2 disc KCCC set in that the band performance must be Read more
