A performance of "Darkness" taken from German TV ... ca. 1970, when Nic Potter was still in the band.

  • IMHO, this performance beats the living daylights out of the studio version ("The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other"), which just sounds weedy - here, all the band were firing on all cylinders. Robert Fripp has said King Crimson's early-70s LPs never captured the intensity of the band live - I suspect VdGG were similarly ill-served on record at that time.

    Stunning clip.

    Live in the studio ca. 71. Listen right to the end, because the closing build-up is from another world.
