Get this now! What Are You Waiting For? For the price a used copy is offered here, you can not go wrong! Ridiculously low price for real fine music and wonderful packaging along with an interesting introduction to King Crimosn Live. If you have even merely thinking about getting this double CD, wait no more. A wonderfully insane 21st Century Schizoid Man from Florida in early 1972, Lark's Tongue is wickedly driven by a jerky opening that smooths out for a great ride.
The colorful 12 page booklet that gives you the band line up 1969-1984 makes this quite valuable to the Crimson fan. You really do need a scorecard to know who the players are!
Good music at an amazing price.

A great live compilation!
With many great members, such as Greg Lake, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and Robert Fripp, this live record features the best of the best. King Crimson are a legendary progressive group. If you are a fan of great progressive like I am, than you must own this set.
I don't really like the first disc. Adrian Belew is very talented, and I like the fact that Bruford drums on most of the tracks, but it's just not that great, in my opinion.
The second disc is where all of the good stuff is. You get great live performances here, spanning 1969-1996, a three decade-long period. You get great live performances of concert standards like 'Larks Tongues In Aspic, Pt. II,' 'Starless,' 'Fracture,' '21st Century Schizoid Man' and 'The Court of the Crimson King. '
Overall, this is highly recommended because of the second disc. A very enjoyable, entertaining set. Highly recommended for all King Crimson fans. As a longtime Crimson fan, I've really enjoyed this disc.
Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!.
