Taken together, these tracks represent both a beginning and an end of a tour that took place despite almost insurmountable issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally scheduled for 2020, postponed for a full year because of the pandemic, the tour began in July 2021 in Florida as the latest Covid wave hit and the band moved across the country in a tour bus bubble. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a two-week break due to scheduling conflicts, the band took to the road again, with the Zappa Band appearing nightly before Crimson. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow facing gigs that had to be moved due to extreme weather, with one venue flooded a day before a concert, an open-air venue in New York transferred to the more familiar Beacon Theatre, and even a band member flown to hospital via helicopter, King Crimson faced a range of challenging conditions. Happily, the band member fully recovered and no gigs were missed despite the array of setbacks and obstacles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time King Crimson reached Washington, the band was in ferocious form with a powerful, energetic set with some arrangements reworked and differing from previous tours. Featuring a restored middle section of ‘Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Part One’ that had not been played since 1973, substantial keyboard arrangements, Tony Levin on upright bass during ‘Neurotica’ giving the piece an extra swing, an emotional Starless and an immensely powerful ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ as an encore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKing Crimson completed their tour in style and to much acclaim from fans and critics alike. As Robert Fripp notes in his diary entry included in the notes: “David (Singleton, KC manager\/producer), pointed out that the very first piece KC played in the US, at Godard College, Montpelier, Vermont on October 29th. 1969, was the same piece as completed KC’s 52 years – 21CSM”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four performances from the ‘Friends and Family’ concert in late August 2021 at The Egg in Albany, the opening show of the second leg of the tour and the same venue where the current band played its first US gig in 2014, add material not played in Washington due to time constraints. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Singleton, who also prepared all the audio for this release, thought it one of the best sets the band played on this or previous tours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Robert wrote in his diary at the time: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA completion is a new beginning – Robert Fripp, September, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting: Washington, Sept 11th, Albany, Aug 22nd, 2021\u003cbr\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003eIntroductory Soundscape\u003cbr\u003eHell Hounds of Krim\u003cbr\u003eLarks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One\u003cbr\u003ePictures of a City\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide B \u003cbr\u003eThe Court of the Crimson King\u003cbr\u003eRed\u003cbr\u003eTony Cadenza Deals It Slitheryacious-To-The-Max\u003cbr\u003eNeurotica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide C\u003cbr\u003eOne More Red Nightmare\u003cbr\u003eIndiscipline\u003cbr\u003eLarks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part Two\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide D\u003cbr\u003eEpitaph\u003cbr\u003eRadical Action II\u003cbr\u003eLevel Five\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSide E \u003cbr\u003eTony Cadenza Serves It Piping Hot\u003cbr\u003eDiscipline\u003cbr\u003eStarless\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSide F \u003cbr\u003eIslands\u003cbr\u003e21st Century Schizoid Man \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panegyric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42771880476828,"sku":"KCLPBX504","price":55.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/image007_951f9c05-b158-4b69-b7a7-bb12e0cc669f.jpg?v=1698439561"},{"product_id":"mcdonald-and-giles-mcdonald-and-giles-1lp-200g-1","title":"McDonald And Giles - McDonald And Giles (1LP\/200g)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: DGMLP7\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 0633367795717\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 03 Nov 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut from a transfer of the original masters for the first time since 1970\u003cbr\u003e Mastered by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering\u003cbr\u003e Pressed on 200gram Super-Heavyweight vinyl at Vinyl Factory UK\u003cbr\u003e Official vinyl release\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shock of King Crimson’s arrival, ascendancy and transatlantic success – all in a period of just under a year - carried within it the seeds of the line-up’s implosion in December of 1969 when Ian McDonald and Michael Giles left the band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking up the option to record an album as a duo - with Michael’s brother Peter taking the role as bass guitarist – the eponymous album was recorded in the summer of 1970 and released in the UK in November of that year. It was and remains a minor classic of the late British Underground era – an album that could only come from that particular time and place and, very obviously, an album that was always intended as just that – a studio construct with no evidence that it was ever imagined as music that could or might be played on the 1970 gig circuit – (though some of the material would be performed more than thirty years later in 2002 by the 21st Century Schizoid Band).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInevitably perhaps, there was some continued crossover with King Crimson activities – both Michael and Peter played on the Jan\/April sessions for Crimson’s “In the Wake of Poseidon” prior to the recording and Peter Sinfield contributed lyrics for side 2 of McDonald \u0026amp; Giles’ ‘Birdman’. Inevitable also, that some material had a shared lineage with KC, most notably in ‘Flight of the Ibis’, as it was the original melody for what became ‘Cadence and Cascade’. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if Mike’s instantly recognisable drum sound and position as that generation’s most gifted drummer and Ian’s skills as a multi-instrumentalist and composer were, by this point, established, the considerable charm of the record comes from the different direction in which the duo took some of the familiarities from their earlier shared band – both compositionally and in arrangements – the vocal harmonies on Birdman more reminiscent of late Giles, Giles and Fripp, the expanded sound coming – not from a mellotron but from full string and brass sections, Steve Winwood’s piano and organ solo sound on the ‘Turnham Green’ section of album opener ‘Suite in C’ would be instantly familiar to anyone who had heard the July 1970 released “John Barleycorn Must Die” album and the overall album had a gentler, more wistful, autumnal sound than anything Crimson would record.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough not a huge success when initially released, the album became a cult favourite and garnered a broader following over the ensuing years to the point where it is now much better known than it was in 1970\/71. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original stereo masters to the album – along with the original multi-track tapes – were returned to the control of the artists in late 2021. This is the first official release of the album on vinyl in decades \u0026amp; the first time since 1970 that the album has been cut from the original masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003e1.
