Eyes wide open 2003 live in Japan........2007-05-08

A must see for King Crimson fans or progressive rock in general. Mainly recent instrumental songs played. An excellent concert well captured.

Brilliant.......2006-10-06

This is truly a great DVD. From a musical and compositional point of view, I much preferred the earlier incarnation of King Crimson ie the "Wetton" years. However from a purely technical point of view, I believe this latest incarnation is the best. Each musician is a master of his instrument and you get a great opportunity to see them execute their talents.
They are just brilliant, each blending together to produce some of the most exceptional musicic you will ever hear.
My only complaint is that Fripp tends to overdo his "Frippertronics". His guitar sounds more like a mellotron than a guitar. Luckily, Adrian Belew makes up for it with his astounding skill on guitar.
I haven't played the DVD too many times but already I am favouring the "Bootleg" dvd from 2000 over than the "Live in Japan" DVD in 2003.

musical mayhem!.......2006-04-08

This DVD defies logic! Not only does it insert different improvs on the second disc each time it is played, but, also, Robert Fripp plays a full string section through his guitar!!!

Music that deserves to be seen.......2006-03-21

I've always felt that the experience of viewing chamber music truly enhances appreciation. And King Crimson is chamber music (according to the definition of Chamber Music America) -- very loud, aggressive, quirky, virtuosic rock chamber music. The two concerts on this DVD are well-shot and edited to document the incredible musicianship, including Trey Gunn's elegant two-handed technique on the Warr touch guitar and Robert Fripp's masterful manipulation of his battery of electronic processing devices. And how DOES Adrian Belew wrench all those sounds out of a plain old guitar? Yes, all that music really IS made almost entirely by guitars, with the rock solid backing of drummer Pat Mastelotto. I've found that even people who don't like the King Crimson sound are fascinated by the visual spectacle of the music being made. This double DVD of King Crimson as a quartet is a welcome companion to the earlier "Deja Vroom" video, which documented the double-trio version of band that adds drummer Bill Bruford and versatile bass master Tony Levin.

Pebozo's stuck in 1976 USA .......2005-11-04

Yes I love King Crimson of the Wetton years but the modern Crimson is great also. This DVD demonstrates that this version of Crimson was the most interesting since the Wetton years. And, it is quite sad that several have dismissed this version of Crimson. I especially like the rythm section of Mastelotto and Gunn. These guys really create a unique sound.
