A quite unbelievably good performance. Never mind the sound quality - the music quality will carry you through this without any problems at all. Wetton is on top form throughout. I’ve had this one on tape for years now, but I assume this recording must have been taken from another (better) source. Maybe we should have a unit of measurement on DGM Live for bootleg quality; maybe we could call it ’The Earthbound’.

And yes, ’jamming down the buttons’ is the way to go. Our latest has the effect of playing a Hammond rhythm box with four buttons jammed down and forcing a Mellotron out through a radio earpiece.

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

Bit of a delayed reaction here since this was my very first DGM Live download, back in March ’06. Almost 3 years later I still find it to be a very enjoyable 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

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

1973 Arlington Texas   Fri., May 11, 2007

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. Read more

Breathtaking   Thu., Mar 1, 2007
Posted by: paulwelsh
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

Superb   Sun., Apr 9, 2006

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

Posted by: gboland
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
