King Crimson - Formentera Lady/A Sailor's Tale Live (Part One)

Recorded Live in Detroit (November 13, 1971), This one easily beats the studio original from the "Islands" album. A marvellous sax-guitar interplay that leads into one of the most frightening instrumental mankind ever saw. * Robert Fripp - guitar, mellotron * Boz Burrell - bass guitar, vocals * Mel Collins - saxophone, flute, mellotron * Ian Wallace - drums, vocals * Peter Sinfield - words, sounds & visions

woah fripp plays a line from Larks tongues in Aspic pt 1 at around 8:40, guess this is probably around the time he wrote that song.

islands is absolute materpiece to my vew. it seems than nobody can play it better than in studio album even those who played it in album:)

@stuffedsonic interesting, thanks for the info

@Adamboms At that time the early version of larks tongues part 1 was called "A peacemaking stint unrolls" You can probably find a video on it. There was a recording of it released as a bonus track on the 40th anniversary release of Islands.

The best King Crimson album with Lizard...How amazing this period with Mel Collins....only top by...Starless with Mel Collins again... They never could compete live with the original starless...Mel Collins is always cruelly missingstarless

Interesting comment re: Jade Warrior. If the Duhig brothers were part of Fripp & Co., Islands would be their jump from Vertigo to Island Records

You always have to make an effort to remark real beauty. That's how King Crimson is.
