Description
[Machine Translation] In 2019, King Crimson will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its debut, and this 50th anniversary project will introduce 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! Stable audience recordings. Important sound source from the 1973 US tour. After the European tour, Crimson started the US tour for the first time since February 1972. This is a record of the early stage of the tour. The sound quality is stable despite being an audience recording, and the overall balance is excellent. The ambient sound of the venue is also captured well. The arrangement of "Sun and Fear Part 1" is a special live arrangement with Wetton's bass solo in the middle of the song. The 1973 tour soundtracks were recorded live for the production of "Underworld" in the fall and later, and some of them are multitrack recordings, but the first half of the tour is generally weak. Dr. Diamond, which was often used as the opener from '73 to '74, was also recorded in stable sound quality on this day. The highlights of the day were two improvisations: the first was a quiet type featuring Fripp's sustained solo and Cross' violin; the second, like the first, started quietly, then evolved into an energetic rock jam, with the violin again creating a slumbering period, and then Wetton's bass again. The second one starts quietly as the first one, develops into an energetic rock jam, and then changes rapidly to a heavier development with Wetton's bass again leading the whole piece.
