This was the set that sold me on the whole idea of the KC boxes, and my favorite of the eight big sets. This lineup of the band is as good as any I've ever heard in terms of their ability to make the same material sound fresh night after night, sometimes through improvised sections, sometimes through little shifts in dynamics or details of playing. I'd heard about how great they were during this period but it was hearing these twenty-odd shows that made it clear.

Thank you for the review. Nice

Keep up the good work

that concert poster is blacklight active. Life is more important than money .Keep your family safe, this will end someday. and not working you will have more time for the most important thing in life listening to records keep on rockin in the free world

Please take care and thanks again

The Starless box is one of my favorites, as it covers my favorite Crimson record. The improvs are some pieces of brilliance. The live stuff is very fascinating to listen to as well but as with all the crimson boxes, they’re quite the hefty meal to take in. I joke with the girlfriend at times and I’m like “okay, which one of these are we gonna purge through today?” 😂😂 hope things look on the up regards to your personal life/work. If I were you, I would say something in regards to the issue and stand up for yourself. If there isn’t any remedies to be made, then you’re better off somewhere else. All the best, stay safe and take care!

I left due to the way the situation was handled so poorly and I just wasn't mean to be a barista! But thanks a lot, all the best to you!

Wow. Those box sets look great. I bought this album when i was 15 in 1985. I played it so much I wore it out. Still listen to it every now and then

Hi Niamh, sorry to hear about your work situation. I never understand why some people!e feel the need to belittle others - probably something missing from their own lives. If you decide to stay then I hope things improve, but you shouldn't have to put up with such behaviour and you need to do what's best for you (and for your family in the current environment). Superb box set from a great period of the band. My Thrak box set arrived today - just now waiting on the Discipline one. BTW if you like reading about music as well as listening, check out Sid Smith's book on Crimson (he writes most of the booklet in these sets and is probably the preeminent authority on the band). Take care of yourself / Peter.

Thank you so much! I’ll check it out

A very great group... excellents musicians.

Cool box set! Sorry to hear about the job. That doesn’t seem like a good situation. You’ll find something better.

It's a sad state of affairs that your workplace is toxic, but it's not as unusual as it should be, unfortunately. Good thing we have so much incredible music to make some of those down times in our lives feel better. And thank you for your channel.... it's a breath of fresh air on a crowded field.

personally i would quit, if that's the environment you work with. on the positive side good vid! been listening to crimson since ,72. keep ,em comin!

Aloha Niamh, thank you for sharing you're a video, that is such a great box set, I enjoy seeing all the different items that are included in the Box set, looking forward to see another video soon I will be also looking at your older ones thank you again. As far as your job concerned depending on your situation, as for covid-19 , you want to protect your family, as far as the jobs concern over time you will learn everything and feel more at ease and when they hire another person down the road , I know that you will share your knowledge and encourage that person because that's the type of person you are. Mahalo ed

Nice! I love box sets but don’t have that many. Work is a sore spot in my life too. Good juju to you

"This night wounds time" 🚬😎 I want this set, but can't find it for less than $180. USD. My old neighbor saw this version of the band when he was in college, 1973 or '74, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. To my utmost jealousy....

Killer set!!!! I love King Crimson! Might need to pick that up. Take care!

That box looks amazing

I love when box sets give cool extras

Well done. I love the box set.

I just bought in cd the 40 th anniversary series of Starless and bible black. Seeing your video made me envy having this album. Thanks to you.

Do you need to pack the job in? If you are in a position to do so you must. Love the Starless album. And the fact that the title track is on Red!

Great set there, keep up the good work...and don't take any **** from other humans :)

Your videos just keep getting better my friend

Fantastic!

There can be jerks on every job. It's unfortunate you have to have one on your new one. I actually met my wife because we both were being treated rotten on a job! As soon as we got together and realized that the same a**holes had been treating us both badly we became a pair to resist them. We've been together a long time so I guess sometimes adversity has it's upside. Great boxset! 8 discs. That will keep you entertained for a while.

That CD with RF on the cover almost looks like he's smiling. That can't be right, the photo must be doctored surely! Sorry to hear about your bad experience at work. :-(

Thanks Niamh for the showcase.. Incidentally do you have ‘The Great Deceiver’ 4 c.d box-set by the band King Crimson...released in 1992 which is made up of live recordings from the 73/74 period...?

weird to see someone my age also into prog. if you haven’t listened to them already, i suggest you listen to egg, that band changed my life. sorta similar to soft machine, but more complex + they have dave stewart. i suggest all of their self titled album & “a visit to newport hospital” from the polite force

Where do you get your Crimson box sets? Amazon or is there a better place? These sets don't seem to be so easy to find. Forget about new; I can't find any brand new. Unfortunately; not alot of people are into Crimson; so I get the feeling they didn't have too many made..

most of the world hate their job . its a means to an end- usually cash. retail can be the worst sometimes. you just have to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether its worth it or not .

Opera d arte

Thank you for sharing your life and box sets with us.. I am sorry for the hostile and rude work environment you have found your self in... Maybe you could find a record store to work at.. you could impress them with your knowledge.. I’m sorry your not feeling well I am in the same boat I got tested today for COVID so in a day or so I will find out my results.. I hope you feel better.. Your videos are coming along nicely keep up the good work🤘🏻

You should speak to who is in charge. I understand that you may wish to give the job up due to the health risks. I have this set. The set may be fine now, but I got the set in October 2014. There was notification about two or three years ago that one of the Blu Ray discs was faulty and if it had gone yellow to request a replacement. As the disc in question was yellow, I was able to request a replacement by email. The disc I got back I think was received from a guy in Poland. Have a look on the discs. As you may have a newer version, you may be fine.

@@the_prog_nerd I assume that some jobs you still get paid a week in hand. Let's hope the Manager had a word with this woman. Nobody should have to put up with this type of behaviour. In a way it's a form of bullying. Bullying is not acceptable in any work place and especially against someone who is new too.

@@the_prog_nerd Unfortunately, some people regardless of their age do not always act in the correct. The best thing is to do what you feel is right for you, try and put it behind you and move on. It's sad that you have to go through it, but you seem strong and will Get through it.

Don't quit. Do the opposite - stick around and do as good a job as you can. Ignoring that employee at the same time, doesn't exist.

That`s one of the most overrated King Crimson's album. I think "The Construktion of light" album, should be commented here.
