“It’s a very rare occurrence that I come centre stage to use this microphone” says Robert Fripp midway through a gig that finds Crimson kicking back and enjoying themselves. “I normally sit over on the side. I’m a shy kinda guy. Every now and then there are important events which call me to the front and the rest of the guys in the outfit tend to give me a moment or two. World events such as the assassination of all world leaders over afternoon tea - this is the kind of situation that would draw me to the microphone. Today, or rather this evening we have an event of similar magnitude: my sister is here!” Cue wild cheers and quite possibly, relieved applause.

Despite being a somewhat murky audience recording in places there’s a interesting variation in Fripp’s picking between verses on Neil And Jack And Me that didn’t make it to the finished studio version, and Manhattan is especially busy and bustling on this occasion. Perhaps the most turbo-charged track of the set is Indiscipline with Belew working the crowd to perfection.

Eyewitness Robert Cervero shared with ET readers downs and upsides of attending a gig where ordering food was a non-negotiable part of the entrance fee. “ We all set around big oval tables, and were treated to hefty helpings of spaghetti, salad, and slightly stale bread. It had a distinctive dormitory quality. I remember my ex- and myself were(I believe) the only ones staying between shows, and Bruford hung around to "retune" his bright-yellow, new, Simmons electronic kit. And we got to hang around and pester the stage folks. We talked to Bill for a few minutes; he was incredibly friendly, and seemed somewhat bewildered though appreciative that there were actually folks who would endure two marginal meals to catch two Discipline shows in one night.”

Well worth the wait thru the hiatus
I became a huge fan in 1973 when a couple of my college friends turned me onto the band. I never had the opportunity to see them before this date and I was super excited, plus I was going to get to go with a college radio friend of mine who was interviewing Fripp pre-show with several other student journalists. So naturally I get the worst case of flu I've ever experienced that day, but I soldered on. I was running a high fever, so I really don't recall much of the interview other than Robe...

I was wondering when this one would show up !!
For those who care about such things, this is the early show on the 27th.

My first King Crimson show!
I was an 18 old kid, going to college in Boulder Colorado. I was a huge King Crimson fan already, loving the USA album, Lark’s, Starless, etc. I was elated to find out that KC had re-formed. But, I was saddened to see that they were not playing anywhere near Colorado. Nevertheless, I just had to go. Three of us scored tickets to the first show, then rented a car and drove the 1000 miles to San Francisco, braving quite the snowstorm over Donner summit. We were so blown away that we scraped toge...
