Live at the Marquee 1969
On July 5th, 1969, King Crimson played to upwards of 500,000 people on a bill topped by The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, London. It was a pivotal point for the band. The next evening, King Crimson played their regular club date - a crammed Marquee Club in the same city. Recorded by an audience member, the original tape of the concert found its way to Robert Fripp & DGM many years later. Pre-dating the release of In The Court Of The Crimson King by more than three months & showcasing material from that album, the tape captures the raw power that had already made Crimson London s hottest new band. Also included is the only known recording/performance of Trees from October 1969. While the audio quality of this recording is poor & no amount of restoration can improve upon that, its rarity earned it a place as a bonus track.
Robert Fripp- Guitar Ian McDonald - Woodwind, Keyboards, Mellotron, Vocal Greg Lake - Bass Guitar, Lead Vocal Michael Giles - Drums, Percussion, Vocal Peter Sinfield - Illumination
