Great for King Crimson fans.......2007-01-09

If you like King Crimson, you'll like the video. There are two aspects - the band's performance and the video production. The performance is unmistakably Crimson. They're tight and loose at the same time, and seemingly all having a blast except for the stoick Fripp, who's probably having fun in his own universe. Great drumming and playing by all the members, as expected. I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I was a little disappointed that the format, one in which you can isolate the camera on a single player, was limited to only a few songs. The menus and other selections could have been a little easier to navigate through; it takes awhile to actually view and track down everything that's on the disk, but it's a fun challenge if you have nothing else to do. And the "extras" are all relatively interesting, though I doubt there are many who will read Fripp's pretentious observations on the music business and about some of his legal wrangelings. At any rate, buy it, especially if you've never seen them live.

Worth every bit, in spite of it's problems.......2006-08-05

Video quality's not great, and the menu setup is a pain to navigate, but to be able to see a band of this quality, I can cope. They rarely tour, so these recordings are pretty much all we have. Buy it, you won't regret it.

just rewatched video after years and years.......2006-02-27

I was astonished by this incarnation of kc when it reformed. i saw two shows from this tour and i was blown away. I have been busy listening to the post 2000 band and kind of put this away for a while. Sometimes when you do you come back to it and it's more mind bending then it was originally. What a amazing performance and sound. The 6 piece was defintely very special and now with dgmlive and etc. They are Im sure going to put recordings from 94-96 era. Video wise Im not sure how much was shot. Maybe that bootleg from argentina tv floating around

Clearless & Highly Thrakked.......2005-09-12

This was the first King Crimson DVD I have purchased, an I am seriously considering buying more.
It was very exciting to see the group live, especially this being the Double Trio, which I believe is the best line-up out of KC's on-again off-again revolving door history.
Robert Fripp is probably one of THE eccentric figures in rock. I can't think of another musician that would go out of his way to shun the spotlight ONSTAGE. He sits upstage between the drummers, shrouded in darkness with occasional glimpses of his deceptively complex shredding.
Adrian Belew is a great showman and a guitar WIZARD. Keep an eye out on "Thrak" for a "bit" of fun!
Tony Levin is just awe-inspiring. Bass, Stick, bowed upright bass, etc. Nice pipes, too. Just an all-around solid player.
Trey Gunn keeps modest but deadly. Wears a good shirt.
Bill Bruford is yellow as all get-out, and his playing can be a little "hey-look-at-me" at times, but he's still one of the best boppers about.
Pat Mastelotto keeps a good backbeat and has little to do sometimes besides shake a maraca or strike a drumhead. He seems to be having the most fun, besides Adrian.
The DVD itself is curious. The menu can be a little annoying, and the graphics are atrocious. Still, Fripp's essays are engaging, as are Tony's home-movies. Sound is excellent.
I recommend to even KC newcomers.

Music OK, DVD is insane, video quality awful........2005-03-19

First, the menuing and navigation system is the stupidest and most counterproductive I have seen on a DVD. Normally if I don't like the menus I just use chapter / track search, but that is disabled when playing this DVD.

I don't understand why they bothered to include a DTS track unless it was so they could put a "DTS" sticker on the label and fool everyone into thinking this is a well-mastered DVD. It is not. Also the "Audio" track selection is disabled, so you have to search around the menus to eventually find "vector control" to set the audio.

Video quality is very bad. Lighting was apparently a problem, camera lenses were dirty and there was excessive glare.
