Resistance Is Useless

While it seems like opinions are split over the sound of the VCS-3, I enjoy it very much. At times I could swear the drum solo sounds like an invasion of gen 1 Cybermen from Mondas. If your only exposure to this version of Crimson is "Earthbound," give this show a listen. It is a much better representation of this amazing collection of musicians.

Another jewel!

Setlist 5, performance 5, sound 4. Another new addition to my collection after 2/3 years. And just like my Chesterfield pleasant surprise, this show is solid, the sound is very good and the performance for a new line-up is pretty much amazing. Cirkus is awesome (probably my favorite version), my only live rendition of get thy bearings of this line-up is probably my favorite also being so jazzy and for a rare time lady of the dancing water live is very clear, jazzy and nice.

Essential

Absolute essential download! These early warm-up shows at the Zoom Club show how much potential this line-up actually had, especially with Mel Collins and Ian Wallace. Unfortunately they didn’t had somebody like Jamie Muir who’d taken them on a plane and jump out of the cockpit in mid-flight, so when the "real" tour got on its feet, somehow the real potential never evolved. But at the Frankfurt shows you can hear more Crim in this band, as fan-written history would attribute to this line-up over the years.If I’d keep only one KC show for an island, this would be a strong contender.

exquisite

i was really looking for one particular early 70s KC show that hit all the bases in terms of the early repertoire, and for me this historical first-ever live performance from the Islands line up is it. Odd to think that Boz (according to Sid Smith’s book) was so demoralized after this debut that he nearly quit. Odd because in a way, this assured, well-rehearsed performance is rapidly becoming my favorite-ever KC recording. The performance of "In the Court..." here with dead-on harmony vocals is arguably the finest ever captured, and the 15-minute version of "Sailor’s Tale" is astounding. Sound quality is excellent too...you can’t miss. if this had been released as a bootleg in the 70s it would have been spoken of in hushed tones over blocks of lebanese hash and incense...
