Ever wanted to know what happens after the edit on the storming Asbury Park or the fade out on that contemplative solo on Easy Money? Well now you can find out![endtease] Presented uncut for the very first time using unreleased mixes from the multitracks without Eddie Jobson overdubs (as on USA), the power of this gig is tangible. Despite the internal politics and tensions of the period, the band taps into a ferocious energy that never stops burning. Wetton is especially inventive, infusing the material with a brutal force. At the other end of the sonic spectrum Fripp’s sparkling clarity produces a consistently powerful performance that must rank amongst his very best. From the grumbling rasp of LTIApt2 through to the ecstatic demands for an encore, this is a classic Crimson show in every respect. Indispensable.

Too young, too stoned
I was there. I know I was. I remember walking on the boardwalk, with my mates. It was stormy and cold for a June evening in New Jersey. It was a cold and stormy evening. I was there, right? I remember Golden Earring being rudely treated by my Jersey brethren, thinking "....that's not cool". I don't remember the music, though. Why did I think it would be better high? Mistake, should have kept my wits about me. So glad someone had the tape running......

Dazzling
I found myself slightly turning up the volume with each track and could thus feel how the “flying brick wall” was approaching my position. It hit me at full speed as I reached Starless and then into Schizoid Man. I will call this “extreme music”. Just give me more of that, please!

Amazing
Much has been said about this lineup of Crimson, Fripp’s quote about the "flying brick wall" comes to mind but this show is different. This show exudes sheer force and power. It is by far the best recording of the Wetton era and one of the best Krimson live recordings ever.

Easy Money alone is worth it
I understand why some people prefer the edit of "Asbury Park".

The last 4 minutes aren’t as solid and it sadly peters off with no real close, but it’s still great! I’ll take it! It’s still one of the most excellent examples of KC improv ever. But the real revelation here (since our lives were already changed by "Asbury Park" in USA) is w...
