Surely a contender for the strangest gig in the archive? [endtease] It’s hard to imagine a KC concert as odd as this: excerpts from Symphony Sid, Flight of the Bumble Bee, snatches of LTIA Pt1, Fripp doing the blues, impressions of Monty Python, Pharaoh Sanders, and what might have happened had James Brown’s band backed John Coltrane at his most exploratory.

Not weird enough? Originally a radio broadcast, why not throw in some product placement, the intriguing absence of Mellotron and a radio announcer that sounds as lively as Rip Van Winkle on Mogadon and you have the bizarre glory that is the Summit Studio session - all committed to pristine-sounding 8 channel multi-track.

Taken together this is a quirky audio snapshot of a band with only twelve gigs left before the end of term.

This concert was first released in 2000 as King Crimson Collectors Club 9 and is still available in that format.

Great! Awesome Sound Quality!
Performance: 10, Audio quality: 10; I highly recommend this concert if you like this lineup, or if you're new to this lineup and want to hear a good concert from them. At first I was hesitant because this version of many of the songs are on Ladies of the Road which is on Spotify. But I finally bought this concert, and wow it was worth it. I love the improvs, especially Groon. I think it's totally worth it just for the improvs! Definitely buy.

Sound quality 3 stars?
This is a must have for Crimso fans of this incarnation. Great sound quality: I don't understand the 3 stars, it should be 4 at least.

A Revelation
I have to admit I've never been a huge fan of Islands and, for a long time, didn't understand the relevance of this incarnation of KC. But once I heard Summit Studios, it all clicked into place. As others have said, the sonic fidelity helps - this is a professionally recorded radio show with a small audience, almost a new studio album in itself. Much more rough and ready than anything King Crimson had done in the studio up to this point, but you can hear every nuance. This is the sound of a well...
