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! King Crimson was an outrageously loud band. Here is the proof! In 1973, King Crimson played the most shows of the year in the history of Crimson. This is the Italian leg of the European tour that coincided with the release of the "Sun and Fear" album. This is an audience recording with some muddy sound, but it is still an interesting source. This is not included in the "Underworld" box set, as it was an audience-recorded bootleg. This is the first time it has been released on CD. It is difficult to judge how loud the sound was at the venue even with soundboard recordings from this period, but this audience recording captures the atmosphere of the venue strangely well. This is actually a rare recording that was made just before the sound would normally have cracked and become inaudible. Crimson, you can clearly see that the sound was so explosive that it made me laugh during this period. It is unintentionally delightful. Also, although I don't know where it was recorded, the guitar and bass, especially Fripp's guitar playing, clearly show what kind of playing he was doing during the whole performance. The bass guitar is a bit muddy and the contours are a bit blurred, but it is recorded well as well. Not many soundboard recordings are this clearly audible. This is not for the general public, but it is a first-class research material for enthusiasts! This is truly a collector's club recording!
