Description
[Machine Translation] In 2019, King Crimson will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its debut. 50th anniversary project introducing classic and rare recordings from The King Crimson Collector's Club, which has a vast collection of recordings from its debut in 1969 to the present day! A memorable night when the complete version ("Sun and Shiver Part 1") was first recorded! The Sun and Fear Crimson's first UK tour, recorded in the middle of the tour. It is an audience recording, and the sound quality is not so good, but it is still listenable among the 1972 tour recordings. It was included in the "Sun and Fear" box set, but this is the first time it has been released as a standalone recording. The most significant feature of this day is that the coda part of "Sun and Fear Part 1" is finally completed! This is a precious sound recording that captures the moment of the completion of the theme song of this period, which is a masterpiece of what this lineup was aiming for in a single song. The 14-minute version, which is much longer than the album version, features many solos that cannot be heard on the album version, and despite the imperfect audience recording, it radiates an intense energy. The improvisation of the day was a slightly different pattern from the previous ones, in which Fripp's classical and ethnic guitar part was overlaid by Cross' violin, and Wetton, seeing the flow, put the bass part, which played the role of a cello part in a string quartet, on top of it. This is a slightly different pattern from the previous ones. This is an impressive improvisation that shows the flexibility of this lineup and the depth of their musical backgrounds, even though it is still in its infancy.
