The first full concert release by this incarnation of King Crimson is released this week.
The 2-disc set captures the band in full-flight in a decisive performance. The show, already available for download, has prompted these reactions from site visitors.
"What an album! Couple of points - firstly it’s a brilliant live recording and mix, and also firstly it’s a brilliant performance. Everyone is brilliant, though it’s most noticeable that Mel Collins has now properly found his place in the many hot tunes that didn’t originally have a wind part."
"'Larks Tongues In Aspic, Part I' -- The highlight for me. Gave me chills on my first listen."
"This is a wonderful document of a band on fire - and they certainly were that night. For those underwhelmed by last year’s Orpheum release, this may well be the cure. For those simply waiting for a more complete Crim Mk.VIII experience, this is very much the real deal, presented virtually unaltered. It presents the band in all the breadth of its sweep, and finally does justice to the jaw-dropping triple-drummer frontline. The stereo mix is dynamic, clear, almost too good to be true for a live mix!"
"Many are still asking the question "Why three drummers?" I can say that I am not after hearing this. This band is smoking hot. At times, there are moments of sublime beauty, and at others, borderline cacophony, and everything in between that you’ve come to expect from King Crimson."
"This is a wonderful concert with the highs of Epitaph and Easy Money! It can´t be better!"
You can order it via Inner Knot (USA) and Burning Shed (UK & Europe).
