The Fillmore East concerts in New York 1969 were an important landmark for
King Crimson. The band had, in the space of only nine months, risen from
obscurity to international recognition, and the American tour was a crucial
part of this process. The two nights are enjoyably different, including the
recovery from "dropped stitches". The band is in consistently good form,
especially on A Man A City and Schizoid Man, which are taken at blistering
speed, and in my opinion, the best way, because if the fast sections are
too comfortable the half speed sections become relatively ponderous. So I'm
pleased to have found this Fillmore East tape, and hope that it is as
valuable to the collector as it is to me. Michael Giles
