King Crimson - Get Thy Bearings

King Crimson – Get Thy Bearings

- is an unofficial or bootleg release that records a performance or collection of tracks by the progressive rock pioneers.

The title refers to the song ‘Get Thy Bearings’, which was originally written by Donovan and covered by King Crimson during their early live performances, particularly in the late 1960s.

This piece was a staple of their early concerts, which were often extended into improvised jams to demonstrate the band's experimental and dynamic live energy.

Bootlegs like this are a favourite with fans for their rawness and the opportunity to hear rare live interpretations, especially from the legendary early line-up of Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and Michael Giles.

Attention 1:

The recording of bootlegs and most times there quality cannot be compared to today's mixed LPs.

But these LPs capture the live feeling with all the extra noises like no other releases and are real collector's items

Attention 2:

As an explanation, since bootlegs were and are not allowed to print the real titles of the songs on the label and some did not stick to this, fantasy titles were sometimes chosen.

Of course, the titles listed in the track list (see above) are also on the LP.
