Such is the quality of this bootleg it makes your ears squint. Despite the very best efforts of Mister Stormy’s necromantic rites, there’s not too much of the music that is able to rise up from its sonic sarcophagus. Interestingly the concert contains side one of Islands played in it’s running order. Here, for the first time in the DGM archive, we hear Fripp’s revved up chordal solo as it was played on the studio version of Sailor’s Tale. It’s just a pity that a lot of the detail within it is sadly subsumed. Also following the shape of its studio counterpart is The Letters with Boz now belting the “Impaled on nails of ice” line loud and clear. Also of note is a live version of Islands itself. From what we know of the setlists of the band, this song wasn’t played too often, so hearing it for for the first time in the DGM archive is a cause for celebration. Recast as something of a mellotron power ballad (in lieu of Mark Charig’s playful cornet solo) it’s just about possible to make out how lovely this track was in concert, although the coda seems slightly fluffed just a second or two before the tape cuts out.

Gold covered in mud
This recording sounds like putting your ear to a door to hear a concert on the other side of it, although that concert sounds like it must have been a fantastic one. Recommended only for serious fans of this lineup, not those looking for one of their best live recordings as an introduction.
Written by Pablo Cordero
I have heard worse- but not much worse
Awesome performance. An exceptional guitar solo in Sailor's Tale, which by now greatly resembled the album version. And it features one of their only two known performances of Islands, which is amazing. But the sound quality really is that bad. The Rainbow show from 1972 sounds worse than this, but otherwise this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel soundwise. Proceed at your own peril.

Great Setlist but TOUGH Sound Recording
I would whole heartedly recommend this show for download if not for the sound quality. As is I am not sure that this show will get much in the way of repeat listens from me. The setlist is very appealing but I would steer towards the Brighton Dome show on 1971/10/16 over this recording.
