Cool!
Yeah. I'm in for the box.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
I wonder if there will be any new video footage from that era. Hope so. LOVE the Neal and Jack and Me DVD.

Was it mentioned in the other thread how many disks will be in the box set?
Three of a Perfect Pair was my introduction to the band. "Sleepless" actually garnered some radio play in my area, turning me into a KC follower. I titled my first screenplay in film school "Moonlit and Bible Black" in homage to the group
What's "MTV 1984"? I remember them showing a highly edited version of the Live In Japan deal, but did they do something else? I actually still have a cassette tape that I dubbed off the FM simulcast thingy that they did for cable TV at the time (for those who don't remember: you paid a premium to the cable company for them to hook up the TV to your FM receiver so you could get MTV, HBO, Showtime and I think a few other channels over the stereo).
They also appeared on a show, I think, called Showtime At The Palace, where they played both Sleepless and Man With An Open Heart. I remember that actually being broadcast sometime before MTV showed the Live In Japan thing, because I remember it being the first time I saw Bruford's vertically mounted Simmons drum rack, which he used starting on that tour. You can find both songs on Youtube, with people commenting all the girls "dancing" to Sleepless (actually, I'm inclined to believe that was just stock footage the producers cut into the performance footage to make them look "sexy" or more exciting or something).
Yeah, and Fripp even smiled! Best 80s Crim footage ever. So spirited. It was like they stopped having fun by the next tour or something....
"Wouldn't it be odd, if there really was a God, and he looked down on Earth and saw what we've done to her?" -- Adrian Belew ('Men In Helicopters')
Sweet! I personally love the 80s material... all of it.
Here's some more details about the new versions of "Beat" & "Three Of A Perfect Pair" from DGM (release date is 10/14/2016);
http://www.dgmlive.com/news.htm?entry=5544
On (and off) The Road 1981 - 1984 (11cd/3dvd-a/3blu-ray box set pre-order)
The 17 disc limited edition box set On (and off) The Road presents a complete overview of the enduringly popular 1980s incarnation of King Crimson.
Contents include:
* 9cds including new Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp stereo mixes of Discipline (2011), Beat (2016) and Three of a Perfect Pair (2016), and the final concert from each of the band's tours: Japan 1981 (new to CD), Germany 1982 (new mixes for this edition), Canada (Absent Lovers) 1984 (remastered for this edition)
* 2cds of additional studio recordings including 1 cd containing edited and expanded of sessions for the abandoned third album and a 'making of...' CD featuring studio snippets and outtakes from across the studio recordings (providing a fascinating audio insight into the 'Crimson process')
* 3dvd-a discs (hybrid discs compatible with all dvd players and rom-drives, region free, ntsc) feature the three original studio albums in high-resolution stereo (new & original mixes), 5.1 Surround Sound mixes and additional audio and videos on all three discs

* The Three Of A Perfect Pair blu-ray also features previously unseen footage from the final run of 1984 Japanese concerts plus 2 sets of 'single camera footage' recordings with shots focusing on each of the individual musicians. The Absent Lovers concert is also included in a new Surround Sound mix on the Three Of A Perfect Pair blu-ray
Two bonus CDs present the band’s first gig as Discipline, from an audio restored bootleg at Moles Club Bath & the unreleased live album that was prepared from the Frejus tapes, with the additional recordings from that concert also included, complete the audio & visual features.
Presented in a 12" box with booklet, memorabilia, extensive sleevenotes and eyewitness accounts of KC live.
Pre-order for 21st October release.

$120.10 from Burning Shed
$135 from Inner Knot (but Frequent Flyers get a discount, usually $25 off, but it still usually comes to less from Burning Shed, and Burning Shed orders usually arrive to the US first.
But the lady at Inner Knot has been so nice to me in the past - sent me free t-shirts to wear on CTTE! What to do...
Anywho, so if you can use the Blu-Ray disks, the DVD-a disks are basically useless? Damn them for forcing them on us! But what the hell, I know I'm going to buy this so no point in complaining beyond this...
Nifty.
FYI - final price from Burning Shed is just above $140, with shipping. Still my preferred venue, given their outstanding track record.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:
https://battema.bandcamp.com/
Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
I figure Germany '82 is KCCC#32 (Munich), but that's only one disc. This "new mix" must be two to get up to the "9cds" included in the box.
Has Japan '81 been released as a download? Anyone know about the sound quality?
Hopefully some of that "additional studio recordings" is from Discipline.* 2cds of additional studio recordings including 1 cd containing edited and expanded of sessions for the abandoned third album and a 'making of...' CD featuring studio snippets and outtakes from across the studio recordings (providing a fascinating audio insight into the 'Crimson process')
Very cool!* Alabama-Halle (Beat) (footage unseen since original 1982 broadcast)
Not sure what this "unseen footage" is? Tour videos? The '84 shows were pretty much the same night after night, so there's not a whole lot there to get excited about.* The Three Of A Perfect Pair blu-ray also features previously unseen footage from the final run of 1984 Japanese concerts plus 2 sets of 'single camera footage' recordings with shots focusing on each of the individual musicians.
I'm still in for this, but it's a little less exciting than the previous boxes--though that's what I initially thought about the Thrak box, too.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
pretty exciting! only reservation is potentially two mixes of the same show for the last beat concert. would have been better imho to have the debut moles show so you could have the beginning and end. or a different beat show that showcased more beat songs live in the current setup a number of live beat songs are unrepresented.
I have the japan download bundle and can't speak for that show specifically but as a whole I was pleased with them.
a bit more info from DGM says this:
Two bonus CDs present the band’s first gig as Discipline, from an audio restored bootleg at Moles Club Bath & the unreleased live album that was prepared from the Frejus tapes, with the additional recordings from that concert also included
so that makes things a bit better, they claim the final shows from each tour take up only 4 discs the japan show is 86 minutes on download but maybe if you cut out the 3 minute frippertronics tape opening and some of the applause you could get it down to one disc.
This MUST have been discussed before, but what is this:
1 cd containing edited and expanded of sessions for the abandoned third album
Is this like the KC version of Tull's "Chateau D'Isaster?"
the 135 price on DGM is the discount price and looks like burning shed gets some exclusive prints added so seems burning shed is the easy winner this time around for my order.
