Joined:73 Dead and 75 Leslie WestDane County Coliseum on 1973-02-15 ---The Spectrum on 1973-03-24--- And The Great Fatsby Tour 1975. West opened for Carlos and Tore that ole building down. Carlos came out and said, paraphrasing " How am I supposed to play after that?" Carlos was right. Was Aud appreciation night, $3.50 Gen Admission tix. The Dead shows speak for themselves. 32 song show in Philly. Sweeter than Honey. Dane County never lets one down. I see 76 is getting played by many. I saw 11 shows, June? July? and 9 nights they played Dancing in the Streets. Practicing for the 77 release of Terrapin. The hot 77 spring tour was before the Terrapin Station release (July 27th 77 ) and a lot of folks did not know what was going on when they played Terrapin. Until Englishtown 09/03/77. What a way to end a fantastic day. The memories we all collectively share.

Joined:OMG KCI went down the KC hole in such a big way a few years ago. I suppose it should be no surprise that I love listening to live recordings, especially those with lots of improvisation, and I would be drawn to a group that has issued a series of enormous box sets chronicling different periods to an obsessive degree. And yet I actually dislike most of what gets labelled "prog" and generally enjoy music that has at least some relationship to American roots music. So I was as surprised as most of my friends when I went through a serious King Crimson period and started buying all their reissues.
But what I found when I did was that this was a group that was consistently innovative, with amazingly gifted instrumentalists, and always willing to indulge in wildly free improvisations. They were in a constant state of flux (Fripp being the only constant member) and they sounded completely different in each incarnation. So it's only natural for people to like one version more than the other. I love the debut album, the tremendous run that was Larks Tongues>Starless>Red, and Thrak, and the associated box sets which includes tons (and I mean tons!) of live shows. And they were really good in their final incarnation, the "three drummers" (yes, three!) octet. Look up that live version of Schizoid Man from 2015 that's on Yew toob if you want a taste of that era.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: King Crimson is probably the single most obvious example of a band that should be in the rock hall of fame but isn't. - CCRider3659
Joined:KCIt was 76 or 77 I was driving down Pease Rd in E. Longmeadow MA. I had an MGB and was with my friend Kevin. Windows up, roof closed, and a dime bag. We called it the rolling bong. So we re driving listening to WHCN and In The Court Of The Crimson King come on. I had to pullover. I/we could not believe what we were hearing. Next day I had the album. Saw them live in 2017 here in Vancouver and then BEAT also in Vancouver. I am never far from that Rabbit Hole.

Joined:Currently listening to...listening to 7/18/76 for the third time maybe...
Oro, (short version) yes they do improve as the run goes on, I think the 14th ? is a great show though, and the 18th may be my favorite... maybe. I am a little weary sometimes of St. Stephen, but this one is just so nice, a lot of really well played songs here, New Minglewood, and Scarlet are great.
When you have the time I think we would all love to hear about 85 :)
I think I might get into 6/24/85 a little bit myself - SPACEBROTHER
Joined:JIMINMDAh, King Crimson rabbit hole. I did that recently, shortly after catching a show on the Beat tour with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin and Danny Carey. If you haven't heard it, the set they released from the tour is epic and essential for Crimson fans.
From back in the Zappa forum days, Belew was not discussed nearly enough. To see him sing over these crazy polyrhythmic guitar lines he plays in this music is genius.
Banter...bicker...bruhaha....Great stuff!

Joined:Thanks Jonathan!Ratdog at Roseland. Listened to the show to and from hiking. I had forgot about the sax player he had on that tour. I haven't listened in forever. I think I saw them at House of Blues in Cleveland that tour. My friend cracked me up at the show when he said Kenny Brooks looked like French Stewart.
Oh, and it's during Ashes and Glass with the Dark Star tease. - Don B
Joined:91-06-14 rfk Washington DCgot a mp3 version of view from the Vault 2. What a good show ! june 91 coul have been a box set with the 2 Giants. i wish one day we may download this one, and 18 19 20 sept at MSG., all of them cold have been a complete show, and the german 90 tour berlin Essen & Frankfurt were perfect for a rt serie. This 90 europe tour is underrated;

Joined:You don't know Jack
White unless you know his new one. Which is called Frozen Charlotte, for some reason. Might be his best solo record so far. For me this is his strongest set of songs since Blunderbuss, just as rocking' as No Name. Tight band, solid riffs, Jack's trademark sense of humor. Giddyup.
Also paid a visit to the Frost '85 DaP. Jerry does indeed sound like he's been gargling gravel, but his guitar is dazzling.

6/24/70
An Aud, but per the usually awesome recommendation of both PF & BC, I had to check it out, and glad I did!
Good show, ok aud for the times, low fidelity maybe, but no goofy yelling etc.
Didn’t get the whole show in as the shows listed didn’t seem to coincide with db? Some seemed like they were from 6/21, and some seemed mixed up?
Not having the time, or gumption, I just checked out some? Acoustic and all of the electric set with the cool DS snaking in and out, sweet Attics, tighten up? Or is it that other jam, sorry, senioritist, always get those mixed up and again, no time to research…(also, apologies to some good folks I owe response messages to, hopefully I’ll catch up this WE).
Some pulls have a bunch of New Riders, but again, no time…

Last night
As part of my 1970 dive I hit the Festival Express and 5/24/70 video (disc 2 of LST). Always cool to check out these archival chestnuts, every now and then, from time to time…
4.15.70 - SF, Winterland
From the 30 Trips Box ...
I haven't listened to it in a couple of years - Jerry is in Great form, Phil sings his heart out, Bobby plays some interesting licks early and (oof) over-screams several times to ostensibly check the mikes (ouch!) as the crew hammer, presumably, one of Bill's foot pedals back in. At one point, Jerry says "Everything's gone Weird, All at Once" and they try a fairly sweet Mama Tried (not often a fave for me) that takes two tries to get off the ground ... Perhaps the beer was not good?? Bob says something "smells like cat-piss" You hear "Let's F*in do it! and then Pig launches into A Man's Man's World - the jam is not quite as the expansive marvel of Harpur College 2-3 weeks later, and they seem not to (yet) have the most confident way to close it out. But IMO, both Phil and the vocals are recorded better. Candyman is interesting/good (to me) for being an electric performance of the (more common in early '70) acoustic arrangement. Hard to Handle is performed a bit more slowly than later versions, with the great syncopated middle stretch rave-up being shorter- early times & just starting to take shape, I guess. Jerry's killer solos in Cumberland rock it out to close the disc.
The other half is pretty freakin awesome as well. Especially, but not at all limited to: The 'flying' Latin-Flavored Caution-ish Jam that arises from Drums and has Mickey (and/or a guest?) absolutely Hammering the small skins, then goes off into the intro for The Other One (Hot) that segues, uniquely(?) into Dire Wolf.
There is a distinct recall of parts/bars in the flying 6 minute jam that also +/- flows in between the 4.26.72 100 Year Hall versions of Lovelight and GDtRFB - which is Way up there on my list. So to this Head, it's VERY worth your time/attention - whenever you happen to come around to it.
Edit: Dancin' in the Streets (with excellent Darkness, Darkness jam in the middle - AKA, at least to me = 'proto'-Eyes) ... Also very good/worthwhile 👍

It is an Aud, but not bad, and interesting set list/firsties
Edit: good first, ok second, sound seemed not as good for electric set?
Cool early tape PF
Onto a touch o 5/15/70 DS etc for a sitz!
harmonicas play skeleton keys
Dennis - it said on the news last week that the sale of harmonicas has gone up since "A Complete Unknown" started showing.
I tried to play one when I was a teenager - but could never get to grips it. Plus it seemed to upset the cat. If it had gone missing for a while, I used to stand at the back door and blow into it. In no time at all, the cat would appear, running into the house with it's tummy close the the floor. If I played when it was already in the house it used to start crying. Funny what you remember.

Another Aud, this ons not so good, so far?
But figured should hit the whole run to fully appreciate the next few gems.
Ok for housework…
Whoa, first BOR, and it’s acoustic! It’s crazy Bo daisy the things ya find…just gotta poke around!
9/18/70
More goodness, but sonically inconsistent?
9/19/70
Ok, been putting this one off fo ever, between all the hype, and it being on Dave’s possible list that doesn’t exist, figured I’d get ultimate virginal listen when it was released.
But, since that hasn’t happened yet? Gotsta continue on with my quest.
Besides, if I hear it, Murphy’s law, it’ll get released soon lol
Worried. Anything I’ve heard that’s hyped this much usually disappoints?
Should be doing other things, but just can’t shake the existential depression today, so WTH…
Audio on this acoustic section now playing is abysmal. Supposedly eee lec tric is better…
Edit: electric is better sounding but not spectacular.
Figure if Dave has it as a possibility then maybe he has good tapes?
Not sure how I feel about this one. Probably due to all the hype?
Too many “best version” of this and that etc
Definitely a good show, and though I don’t need a pristine SB to hear if their playing well, it probably would help? Throughout, I kept feeling like I was missing something, perhaps a touch o the mojo hand? I dunno, can’t grasp right words, definitely a great show but perhaps from musicians pov not RJ?
Some shows just BOOM!, it hits ya, maybe situational?, perhaps next time I’ll 180 lol.
Awesome DS, best…? I wouldn’t go that far, LL, same deal, though this one was interestingly different and perhaps more lewd and bawdy than normal lol, best…? Mmmmm, no.
Overall, mediocre acoustic set comparatively, but one tasty Grease fest to be sure, and again, cool DS.
Personally, that’s worth the price of admission alone, but objectively 4-4.5 outta five, maybe?
Let’s see what the next one sounds like…
9/20/70
So much for getting anything done today lol, WTH, why not…
Aaahhh, if only this one had a DS! Awesome SB, awesome show!
Not sure what’s available or not, with minor editing, but if ya do the math you could almost get 9/20 and the meat and potators from 9/19 on three discs…OR, if there’s some but not all of others available from the run you might have a nice DaP/w bonus disc…not sure enough overall here for a box, but perhaps as part of something more comprehensive? Just my dos centavos…
No PF, I haven’t made it to Port Chester, yet. But per your recommendation it’s on my list! Looks like I have about a dozen SBs I haven’t heard before, and those six Auds. After that, time to git along little doggie! It’s been fun, but (per usual) I ended up doing way more than planned lol. Have a new appreciation for 1970 now, but starting to get burnt, and eager to roam elsewhere!
Onward!
September 70
Good stuff
9/19/70 is worth the hype
9/20/70 is worth the hype

Yesterday on drive down streamed about 2/3rds of 11/20/73 Denver Coliseum. Awesome stuff . Didn't quite get to the jam sequence that was released as part of RT V4 N3. My vehicle streaming is low-fi and plan to revisit with the ZenDac and Senns.

Yeah PF, wonder if anyone has tapes?
Uncle T, Doin it proper!
Go Birds!
Hope the league doesn’t just reduce them to another hurdle for the “threepeat” marketing bonanza BS!
Think we’re going to boycott for the above, plus the politicizing, including the league caving into removing “End Racism” from the end zones! Greedy Koonts!
did they really remove "End Racism" in the end zones?
REALLY?
fuck the NFL.
I have many other ways to spend 2/9 than watching that shyte.

We finished our project a bit quicker than anticipated so back at home with a few extra free days. Finally getting around to jam section released as filler on Disc 3 of RT Vol. 4 No.3. 11/21 got the spotlight on that release but all of 11/20 needs to released. Great show front to back.
PF - I picked up the The Basement Tapes RAW (Bootleg Serties Vol 11) for a buck at a local yard sale. Haven't really cracked it but now I've got to see whats up. Also got Tom Petty's Highway Companion for $1 - that's a disc I spun a whole lot.

Quick question.
What is the tax difference between what list price is and declared price?
2nd question.
Downloaded a group called Smokie this morning, how are they viewed over there? I never heard of them.
