2 stars From all releases of the first lineup, be sure to pick this as the last one. It contains two fallowing gigs from November 21&22, 1969. The sound quality is quite good and the performances are decent. So why the low rating? First of all, the track listing of those two gigs is exactly the same and there are not many differences between the performances. There was only a fragment of The Court Of Crimson King recorded on both gigs, which is another downside. But the biggest flow of this KCCC release is that the gig from 21 November was previously released on vol.1 of the Epitaph compilation (with the exception of The Court of Crimson King). Therefore this release is peaty redundant. Only for completionists.

3 stars A reasonable-quality live recording from the 1969 version of King Crimson, this presents two essentially identical live sets from their stint at the Fillmore East, during the US tour which would see the demise of this version of the band. The most interesting item here is probably A Man, A City, which would later become Pictures of a City for the In the Wake of Poseidon album. The sound quality is decent - in line with other albums recorded at the Fillmore during this time period - but the fact that this is a brief set played through twice means that you'll probably end up only listening to half of this lot at any particular time. Three and a half stars.
