What amplification were they playing through at this time?  Marshalls???

LIVE CONCERTS FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT
CHECK OUT KING CRIMSON AT FILLMORE WEST
LAST CONCERT
WITH ORIGINAL LINE-UP
 

A note: Some of this material is available on the DGM album "Epitaph", but it sure doesn't sound the same! Well worth a listen, especially in light of the current list discussions. Now here is some mellotron that will make your hair stand on end! If you ever wanted to know exactly what Ian played on mellotron for "Epitaph", here's your chance. (And doesn't the 60 cycle hum from the amps take you back?)

It's also interesting to compare the use of mellotron by KC's original line-up with Pinder's use. The difference couldn't be more apparent here. Same instrument, same tapes, but holy shit. Is it better? I don't know. That's up to you to decide.

Hope you also enjoy Giles' drumming. I don't think there's any drummer who is so wonderfully idiosync ratic -- or brilliant.

Cheers,

Rick
