THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING (Live, Fillmore West, 12/15/1969)
(McDonald, Sinfield)
Disk 2 features the entire final concert by this lineup at Fillmore West on 15 December 1969. These recordings were made directly to an old stereo tape recorder from the mixing desk. The mixes are not representative of what an audience might have heard; for example, the guitar, which was no doubt very loud in the theatre, is often very quiet on the recording. The sound quality and energy levels on the original recordings are astonishingly poor. Fortunately developments in digital mastering techniques have made it possible to restore these tapes to their current condition.

We can listen to this song over and over again and always be happy for it.
Over 50 years may have passed but the alchemy these boys created still mesmerises the discerning listener .
This was by far their best and most interesting song. Nothing else like it.
Saw them 3 or 4 years later in Waterbury, CT....head full of you know what.... still remember being amazed at how Fripp could sound as good in person as on record. Agree.... drummer is spectacular. Love the flute... only 50+years ago.
I’m from Connecticut and I’m so jealous
Unleashed on that unsuspecting west coast hippie crowd. I bet they were mesmerized and stunned at the end of this song and had no idea what had they just experienced. Even today this sounds like nothing else and is so far ahead of its time it will never be old!!! The chemistry of these musicians and talent and the lyrics by Peter Sinfield..very deep!!! It was something never heard before ...and really ever since. Also sad that Gregg and Ian have passed on and we will never see them together ever again or hear them. I am glad these recordings have been posted. I was only 9 when this was performed and I can only imagine what it would have been like to see the band live.
I never knew a live version existed from this era! This is brilliant!
Excellent drumming!
Giles was a beast.
Epic, alluring, pastoral almost sacred version of this song. The flute of Ian McDonald is flawless, fripp is magistral with his perfect strumming... Lack of words. Lets listen.
It's a huge sin to not mention Ian's talent on the mellotron!
I had a really bad 2013 version of this exact song, took me a long time to find this new restored version.
I wish that there was video footage of this
We all do. Such a great performance!
Except short segment of Schizoid man live in Hyde park nothing is available from original line up. It's a pity for sure. Video of King Crimson around 1969 would be great.
@@МаксРогозин-е1ю yeah
@@МаксРогозин-е1ю if there's that short segment at Hyde park,surely more video footage exists
@@RLxDRMpG no. the rest of tape has been damaged. that's all there is.
What an incredible performance of this song .
Absolutely monumental
Gloria a Vuestra Majestad, el Rey Carmesí.
Nobody sounds like Michael Giles.
ummm well actually technically Micheal Giles does 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@Cathode Roy That's actually so cool, I totally get those vibes from him
I was actually listening to the Epitaph live album the other day specifically to focus on Giles' drumming and he has such unique ideas and nuances in his drumming while making it sound powerful at the same time, it's truly brilliant
Nothing sounds like a real Mellotron.
the fillmore i am a not in shock. wow!
nice
What a great album!
sweet
Cool.
KILLER SONG ALERT, CRANK IT UP!!! M.O'B
Ohhh yeah...
Sounds surprisingly good for its age.

For some strange reason, I like to think that the Fire Witch who is summoned back to the Court of the Crimson King here is one and the same lady as the chick in Deep Purple's "Burn". hehe hehe hehe
