Not too tangential I hope; good interview with Daryl Hall that discusses Sacred Songs a bit, and the impact it could've had on his career if his label and management hadn't buried it.

This is pretty cool.

I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Not sure if this has been posted here yet but I just came across a lengthy interview with Toby Amies about the film:
More than pretty cool. Everybody should buy the full track!

For Crimson fans - video starts crappy but improves as it plays more. Guitar is so good that even Fripp posted it on FB.
I hadn't caught this interview and found it quite interesting; thanks much for posting.

I picked up the Road To Red box set this week. Very fondle worthy. The live shows I've listened to so far and excellent. Really happy with this purchase, about $150 USD, including shipping.

Nice, Greg! I got the Starless, and Sailor's Tales boxes last week along with the Meltdown set. I've been on a huge KC bender for a few weeks now.
Cool!

The only KC box I have, and probably the only one I will get now that my main CD-listening time (driving to work) has vanished (as I work 100% from home now). I do think it's good. The improvs range from ferocious to mindblowing.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Agreed. There is just a ton of amazing music in this set.

Yeah all the box sets are great in their way but Starless and Road to Red were the ones that really blew my mind (and Starless was what convinced me to buy as many of those big KC boxes as I could afford). The improvs from this era are transcendent, but there are also so many little variations in dynamics and arrangement that the composed songs are endlessly fascinating too, especially the ones with more room for variation (the buildup in Easy Money opens the gates of hell every time, and always in a totally different way).

I always likened the 72-74 'songs' live as chicken wire compositions...
A basic framework that gets stuffed and stretched every night - sometimes bending here, sometime there - always recognizable yet different

TBH, if I had to choose two KC boxsets, Sailor's Tale and Road To Red would be them.
But I've got +/- all I need from those two eras.
(since I also own the Epitath series from the McD/Lake/Giles era)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Benders are the best. And binges
After watching the Meltdown DVD I'm kicking myself for not going to see them last summer with the Zappa Band. But my wife and I will be seeing the Zappa guys next Sunday night at an intimate 400 seat venue.
That's 'cause there were plans to tour in '20 when they put the set together....

I would take Starless and Sailor's Tales, with The Road To Red in third. (For me the best improvs are released elsewhere and the sound quality isn't as good as on Starless).

And since it was brought up....does the 1969 box have all the stuff from the four Epitaph volumes on it?

Yes, with improved sound and more material in some cases, such as Chesterfield Jazz Club remastered from the original cassette with substantial missing music. Basically the box has all the available live and studio recordings by the band - with the exception of more from Fairfield Halls (where "Trees" was recorded) but as we know this is the worst recording from 1969.
