King Crimson: USA
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★

The original 1975 album was already remarkable, with that gem of the Asbury Park improvisation. However, perhaps it was missing something to make it truly memorable. With the subsequent remasterings and the addition of heavyweight tracks like Starless and Fracture, that something is now no longer lacking. Perhaps their best live album is The Night Watch, or maybe the box set The Great Deciever, but I remain much more attached to this one.

    Well, in the end, it’s no coincidence that all the live albums you mentioned are from the '70s, specifically '73-'74, not to take anything away from other extraordinary live recordings from subsequent decades (like those with the double trio); those three titles are the peak of Fripp/Crimson's career, at least live.
