Live King Crimson multi-track recording of live set from June 29th, 1974, at Penn State University Available on CD, following on from the exclusive Record Store Day release on 2LP vinyl. Sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith. To coincide with the releases of "Starless & Bible Black" in March 1974, King Crimson set out on a run of shows that many fans consider to be that line-up's peak with the late music critic John Kelman (All About Jazz) describing them as being at their "heaviest and most guitar-centric version of Crimson to date" where "even 24 hours represented a significant difference in how this group approached form-based material".
