This double CD stands as a powerful live document tracking the band's 1973 US spring tour. The Waterbury performance catches the legendary quartet delivering their complex material with immense, raw aggression. Live renditions of “Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One” and early arrangements of tracks that would shape their heavy legacy are executed with crushing weight. The core highlight lies in spontaneous, dark improvisational segments where David Cross's violin weaves a tense, haunting atmosphere.

Description
[Machine Translation] In 2019, King Crimson will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its debut, and this 50th anniversary project will introduce classic and rare recordings from The King Crimson Collector's Club, which has a vast collection of recordings from its debut in 1969 to the present day! Stable audience recordings. Important sound source from the 1973 US tour. After the European tour, Crimson started the US tour for the first time since February 1972. This is a record of the early stage of the tour. The sound quality is stable despite being an audience recording, and the overall balance is excellent. The ambient sound of the venue is also captured well. The arrangement of "Sun and Fear Part 1" is a special live arrangement with Wetton's bass solo in the middle of the song. The 1973 tour soundtracks were recorded live for the production of "Underworld" in the fall and later, and some of them are multitrack recordings, but the first half of the tour is generally weak. Dr. Diamond, which was often used as the opener from '73 to '74, was also recorded in stable sound quality on this day. The highlights of the day were two improvisations: the first was a quiet type featuring Fripp's sustained solo and Cross' violin; the second, like the first, started quietly, then evolved into an energetic rock jam, with the violin again creating a slumbering period, and then Wetton's bass again. The second one starts quietly as the first one, develops into an energetic rock jam, and then changes rapidly to a heavier development with Wetton's bass again leading the whole piece.

Description in Japanese
コレクターズ・クラブ 1973年5月6日 パレス・シアター・ウォーターベリー・CT / キング・クリムゾン
2019年、デビュー50周年を迎えるキング・クリムゾン。1969年のデビュー時から今日至るまで膨大な音源を有するザ・キング・クリムゾン・コレクターズ・クラブから定番音源、レア音源を紹介する50周年記念企画! オーディエンス録音ながら安定した音源。'73年USツアーの重要音源。ヨーロッパ・ツアーを終え、1972年2月以来となる久々のUSツアーをスタートさせたクリムゾン。これはその序盤戦の記録。オーディエンス録音ながら安定した音質で、全体のバランスも良好。会場アンビエントもしっかり捉えられている。この時期の「太陽と戦慄 パート1」はライヴ専用アレンジがあり、途中、ウェットンのベース・ソロが入るタイプ。この年の秋以降になるとソロなしのライト・ヴァージョンとなるのでこのタイプの「太陽と戦慄 パート1」はこの時期限定型。1973年ツアー音源は秋以降は『暗黒の世界』制作のためのライヴ・レコーディングがありマルチトラック音源もあるが、この前半戦は全体的に低調。'73年から'74年のオープニングとなることが多かった「Dr. ダイアモンド」もこの日は安定した音質で記録されている。この日のハイライトは二つのインプロヴィゼーション。1はフリップのサスティーンを効かせたソロとクロスのヴァイオリンをフィーチュアしたクワイエット・タイプ。2は1同様静かな立ち上がりから、エネルギッシュなロック・ジャムに展開、再びヴァイオリンがまどろみの時間帯を作り、再びウェットンのベースが全体を引っ張るヘヴィな展開へと目まぐるしく変化する。
