King Crimson is one of my favorite bands in the true artistic sense; all musicians here are the best at what they do regardless of whether you like the "sound" they create. I have seen them live and knew what to expect. Most music if this particular genre does not rate high amongst mainstream FM album-oriented-rock (AOR) "audio only" listeners. But, to be able to put the video to the obscure yet melodic compositions, serves the band well and will fascinate even the staunchest of pop critics. Band founder and leader Robert Fripp with his signature bow-tie, perched upon his stool, uses Crimson as his muse....to showcase the absolute mastery of his avant garde inception. Bill Bruford the seasoned drummer of 70s era Yes etc. has very few equals. Tony Levin, one of the few masters of the bass and my personal favorite bass player...as well as being a really nice guy and one of the most accessible musical talents in the world, is a creature of beauty on Stick, complimenting Bruford's mesmerizing backbeat. And Adrian Belew; ex-Frank Zappa, need a say more about his pedigree? Adrian rounds out the quirkiness of Fripp's vision; his off beat vocal prose combined with unconventionally distorted guitar licks brings even the most stoic of performers (Fripp) to smile with delight. I bought this DVD because I owned "The Noise" and "Live in Japan" on VHS from the 80s era where most of this materiel was compiled for this remastering. This is a classic Crimson line-up and a MUST for any true collector.Read full review
