Notes: (*****) This is one of the last few King Crimson Collectors' Club releases, a mono recording from 1972 that was only passed to DGM in 2017. (3) was announced on stage as "Daily Games" and had yet to acquire its better known title. This show was about 3 months before the release of Larks' Tongues in Aspic. The sound quality is pretty good and it's a great performance. (HP, 31 Aug 2026)
