9/10

Ok, wow, this is one hell of a box set.

This thing is HUGE. 4 discs, 4.5 hours. That's crazy! Now each disc.

Disc 1 is pretty normal, seems like a normal KC concert, and like normal KC, it's normally great! Rating: 88

Disc 2 is weird. Sharks' Lungs in Lemsip, anybody? Tight Scrummy? Easy money It Is for You but Not for Us? THEY DO PEACE FROM POSEIDON. that's everything right there. oh yeah, they also do CAT FOOD. Rating: 89

Disc 3 is half improvs and original song and half actual classic KC songs. It's the most interesting, but not my favorite. BARTLEY BUTSFORD?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!??!?!?! Rating: 86

Disc 4 is my least favorite, but still great. Not much to say about this one as it's quite normal like disc 1. Rating: 84

Now you may be wondering why i would give it a 93 when my highest rating for any of the discs was 89. Well it's because i rate albums just based on how nice the experience is, and this was an amazing experience.

NEED TO HEAR RATING: DEFINITELY HEAR.

Best song: 21st Century Schizoid Man
Worst song: Walk On... No Pussyfooting (all of them)
Underrated: Dr. Diamond

6/10

I don't care if it's a boxed set. This is too long. Nobody needs that much King Crimson. And ain't nothing five hours long higher than 3.5 stars.
