“CIRKUS - originally issued in 1999 as a 30th anniversary celebration of the group's live output 0 offers an effective introduction to Crimson as a touring outfit. From the Fillmore West in San Francisco in 1969, via the Concertbouw Amsterdam in 1973, to the Spectrum Montreal in 1984. And on to Nakano Sun Plaza Tokyo in 1995, all eras of Crimson are represented and a variety of the band's most enduring music is featured. Crimson live has always been a very different beast in the concert hall compared to the studio recordings and CIRKUS reflects this.”
“King Crimson are a strange beast, melody and chaos, the expected and the unexpected, it may relax or take you by the ears and spin you around. Mr Fripp has gathered around him some amazing musicians through the years and he has pushed back every boundary there is. The album sleeve will take you through the various band line ups and the CD will take you on a journey of King Crimson live throughout the years. A great offering at a reasonable price. If like me you were a fan early on and now you are catching up on the later stuff then this is an excellent place to start.”
