Everyone's playing is strong and focused, especially Fripp, Bruford and Wetton. The live versions of their songs have much more drive and power and are a more accurate reflection of the artists' intentions than the studio versions.I worried that Fripp's long laboring over this CD would result in a radically different mix than the original. But other than the expected clean up work, the mix is very, very close to the old vinyl mix. I think some punch was taken out of Bruford's drums (Fripp always hated how Bill's syncopated style overlapped his guitar parts), but not enough to detract.For fans of the original USA, there are now 2 additional tracks - Fracture and Starless. Taken as a whole, USA now includes the finest songs from this version of Crimson (absent Red). However, the version of Fracture is lamentably disjointed in the middle section and overall not as crisp as the version on Starless and Bible Black. And Starless doesn't quite have the power and presence at its climax that the Red version has. Nonetheless, they are great songs and it's wonderful to hear live versions of them.If you like Crimson, this is a no brainer. If you like Progressive Rock, and haven't heard this version of Crimson, grab this album, but be prepared. This is hard core stuff - dark, ominous, loud. Turn it up! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jobson's Overdubs an Uncertain Plus *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2005* This is a high fidelity, butt-kicking record, so my reservations are based on fine points and on my view that there are other, better representations of the 1973-74 Crimson. What's odd about this record are the violin overdubs by Eddie Jobson. As others here point out, David Cross, the violinist on site, was dialed out of the mix (perhaps because he wasn't loud enough in the original), and Jobson brought in. Jobson is an excellent player, mind you, and he sounds great on a record like Roxy Music's live "Viva." But overdubbing a live record is tricky business at best, and the ambiance of the violin is rather obviously not that of Crimson's locale: it sounds mailed-in. The best live set from this period remains "The Great Deceiver;" in second place I'd put the double set "Night Watch." The production of the "Great Deceiver" performances, many also made in America, is drier and "realer" sounding overall (there's either ambient echo or a tad added to "USA"), and the violinist Cross is fine on those records. Still, "USA" remains the only single-disc live Crimson from this period. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you can't buy "Road To Red" *by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014* If you can't find a way to buy "Road To Red" , this will give you the best sounding "USA" yet. I'm so obsessive , I bought this in addition to the massive box. It's just so nice to have it sitting there next to all the other 40th anniversary editions. (And of course , I did the same with "In The Court Of The Crimson King" and "Larks' Tongues In Aspic").The expanded edition of the "USA" lp provides the listener the full experience of what transpired that night known as the "Casino" show.BUT , if you can find a way for the box , do so. It will provide the complete picture of what led up to "Red" , and you get to hear each piece throughout all development stages.Hearing David Cross' contributions to what turned into Fripp guitar leads on "Red" (due to Cross' departure) , add illumination to the creative process. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2844348-usa](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2844348-usa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
