Format:DVD
This DVD was the reason I bought a DVD player and I wasn't disappointed. Of the dozen or so music DVD's I've subsequently bought none match up to this. For starters we get a double sided DVD with an entire concert from the 1995 double trio King Crimson in top form. This appears essentially the same as the 1995 video of this performance - however sound and picture quality are superb plus there are mutiple camera angles, using vector patrol you get to decide which of the 6 band members the camera will bias towards during the concert. In addition a number of bonus features exist, a hidden solo soundscape by Robert Fripp, a feature to mix and match vocal, rhythm and lead from 4 different KC incarnations performing 21st Century Schizoid Man, home movies of the tour by Tony Levin and for those with a DVD-ROM a .pdf file of the extensive (180 page) booklets from all KC CD boxsets. In fact this DVD has so many features that you'll never realise them all at the first sitting but will keep going back again and again. The DVD overall is beautifully packaged both externally and onscreen with menus incorporating artwork by PJ Crook. Overall I would say if you would have to buy any single music DVD and you like the band then this is the only purchase you should make (I paid £22 for this last year and at it's current price it's an absolute bargain).

Format:DVD
King Crimson are probably one of the best examples of innovative music and this DVD reinforces this.
The DVD covers a range of tracks, mainly from from Thrak and Discipline, all delivered with the creative flair that has always been associated with Crimson. The rendition of Red is excellent and loses none of its originality, despite the different line-up.
The usually cynical Bill Bruford (particularly where Yes is concerned)really looks at home and I have never seen him look happier! Robert Fripp occupies his normal position on a stool, looking like the godfather of Crimson, which he probably is! In contrast, Adrian Belew adds the animation, constantly on the move, like a restless child and proves that he is a very accomplished and underestimated guitarist, both in established Crimson riffs and with his own contributions. Tony Levin (also a superb musician), contributes with both the hard attacking bass riffs and with the more delicate mmelodies played on the Chapman Stick.
All in all, this is a superb collection of tracks, played with gusto and obvious enjoyment by all, which makes this DVD even more special. The only critiscism is the continuity, as it is not so much an ongoing concert, but a stop and start collection of tracks. However, you do get a DVD with non-stop music. Be aware, that at the start of the DVD it appears as if there is no sound and you might begin to think that the DVD is faulty (which I did). However this is just an effect.
Basically, if you like King Crimson and good innovative music, played by stellar musicians, you will love this DVD.

Most of the rewiews agree that the music is one of the best KC incarnations but most complain against the poor video. I was in a concert of that tour in Madrid and the video is not poor, the stage was pretty dark. So the DVD shows what really happened it Tokyo

OK
The visual definition is rather poor, the lighting while artistic it is in my opinion very annoying, too many shadows, too dark. Read more

Strong music, weaker visuals
I have a CD of this gig, and I've loved it for quite a while now. But having the live experience on DVD just takes it to another level. Read more

This music DVD is without doubt the best one in my collection as it combines both rock and intricate modern music at the same time. Read more
