I only purchased this album as it was going cheap at a fiver. I was not bothered if I possessed this album as I had read many reviews that the production was awful and that the actual songs were not up to scratch.Those reviews were partly true. The production is not actually that bad, but it certainly helped when Robert Fripp did a bit of cleaning up on the tapes.
The only decent song on the whole album is "21st Century Schizoid Man". Well you can't go wrong with this song can you, no matter what state it is in. The rest of the tracks are mainly jams that noodle aimlessly and really don't seem to have any point to them.
This is KC's worst official release which is a shame as there are better live recordings of this version of the band. I believe that some of the club releases are pretty poor as they eminate from bootleg sources (I don't possess any club releases).
In general, I would say this is one album that should be avoided at all costs. Only purchase if you are an avid completist.
