An excellent performance,
By
This review is from: The Collectable King Crimson Vol. 3: Live At The Shepherds Bush Empire, London 1996: Parts 1 & 2 (2 Cd) (Audio CD)
This is the 'double trio' lineup at the end of their European tour. Compared to the live album B'Boom, which is a record of this lineup's first performances, the London performance is a much more exciting listen. The band's playing is fast and furious, giving a new life to a much-performed repertoir. Although the fast pace is at the expense of subtlety, the sound of a band pushing itself to the limit technically is exhilerating.I was at this performance, and this CD confirms that I've retained an accurate memory of it even though it was over ten years ago. King Crimson completists might be interested to know that the CD also includes a short Robert Fripp soundscape. This was the only soundscape of the tour, and it was played because the support band had to pull out at the last minute. Also, it was the first performance in many years of 21st Century Schizoid Man. I would recommend this highly.

Crimso at their best,

This review is from: The Collectable King Crimson Vol. 3: Live At The Shepherds Bush Empire, London 1996: Parts 1 & 2 (2 Cd) (Audio CD)
Wow...this is a truly EXCELLENT 2 disc set. This is the 'double trio' band at the end of their tenure as Crimso. They play with a ferocity and precision that you can only marvel at...the material is a fine summary of their body of work, even the old warhorse 21st Century Schizoid Man gets an airing (and one of the best versions I have heard). Fripp has to be congratulated for creating music that knew no boundaries - no showboating but a group of excellent musicians attacking their work with energy and passion. Only a bit of irritating crowd noise detracts on occasion but I have had this on repeat for weeks now. Not for nostalgics...this is music that will challenge listeners...

Live at Shepherds Bush Empire, London, 1996,
By Joseph C. Helton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Collectable King Crimson Vol. 3: Live At The Shepherds Bush Empire, London 1996: Parts 1 & 2 (2 Cd) (Audio CD)
The Collectable King Crimson series brings to the listener the best of the live King Crimson experience. Something unique is offered in each of the cds (3 as of this review). In this release we meet up with Fripp and the boys at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London, circa 1996. The double trio is in fine form this evening, and instead of two partial performances, which has comprised the Collectable series thus far, the listener is treated to the entire show.The first cd starts off with a bit of a surprise for those who do not read the liner notes first. Apparently, The California Guitar Trio was supposed to open the concert, but were unable to perform, so Fripp comes out and does a stunning 24 minute soundscape. A real treat for anyone, but particularly those who have not heard a Fripp soundscape. The remainder of the band come out to join him for a stunning first half, spearheaded by the drum solo Conundrum. The sound quality is perfect, having been taken from the 2 track stereo soundboard mix. The songs are, as usual, performed to perfection, including Improv 1, a delightful improv experience. The second cd starts as the band return to the stage and starts off with the classic Lark's Tongues in Aspic Part II. Frame by Frame is delivered at a blistering pace, but the band softens it up a bit for a nice rendering of Matte Kudasai. Later, is another well done performance of 21st Century Schizoid Man, during which the crowd sings along (something I've not heard before in a KC performance). The crowd is heard throughout the show, sometimes to the annoyance of the listener, but I like this actually. To hear the crowd AND the performance is to be there at the show, the only thing missing being the visuals. I've listened to a lot of live King Crimson so I think I can provide a fair opinion of Collectable King Crimson volume 3. It's a stunner of a show, with some real memorable highlights. A definite must for the King Crimson collector, and accessible for the new fan. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Two That Travel Familiar Terrain,
By Bicycle Day - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Collectable King Crimson Vol. 3: Live At The Shepherds Bush Empire, London 1996: Parts 1 & 2 (2 Cd) (Audio CD)
The third in an ongoing series of live recordings that covers the King Crimson's career is pretty familiar territory, since the mid- to late-1990s has a number of studio and live recordings already in the catalog.But what the band delivers on stage is an intensity of improvisation that makes any live set special. This series is a spin-off from a failed program where fans would subscribe in advance for six releases. The revenue was then used to remaster the archival material. But that program did not meet its financial goals. The Collectable King Crimson is a welcome and accessible addition to the KG discography. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Six Ways (to hear a song),
By B. A. Dilger "floating world" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Collectable King Crimson Vol. 3: Live At The Shepherds Bush Empire, London 1996: Parts 1 & 2 (2 Cd) (Audio CD)
I received the first King Crimson album on Christmas, 1969. After that, I collected all the KC that came out on vinyl and/or tape until THRAK. Later, when I obtained CD's, their live concerts were now available to me. "The Collectible King Crimson, Vol. 3...." is the most multi-dimensional sound of a live band I've heard out of KC. Even with stereo the music spaces out, the various instruments build independencies in and out of one another. They're all good cuts, though this version of "21st Century Schizoid Man" must be one of their best. Six pieces giving six interpretations makes for an 'improv' mood. All 22 tracks project an impressive show of virtuosity and talent. There is even a 23 min. soundscape by Robert Fripp. If you want one album to reflect the best of the "THRAK" sextet, this is it. (2CD)
