The last four songs on the first CD are from San Francisco's Fillmore West's gig 14th December 1969. "A Man, A City" is the early version of the song "Pictures of A City". Next three songs are from New York's Fillmore East's concert of 21st November 1969. "Get thy bearings" is also a great jazzy track, a cover song written originally by Donovan. The studio version of this tune is much more tamed and sterile. The performance of "21st Century Schizoid Man" is the best version of this song which I have heard, along with the live versions of the 1972-1974 line-up. If this is true, I truly appreciate the sound quality managed to be restored on this release. The first four tracks on the CD one are from a BBC radio session, and I understood that these are from a tape which somebody recorded the broadcasted radio show from the air. But I have heard much worse audio quality, and the music on the discs is really capturing. The sound quality of these recordings is not very good, as they are from late 1960's and done with poor equipment even in the standards of that time. Some exceptions certainly exists, but this is my overall feeling of the matter. I think this compilation of live performances and radio sessions has much more interesting musical material on it, when compared to the studio albums of the 1st King Crimson line-up.
