Robert Fripp once quoted this paragraph from a review of the King Crimson live
album U.S.A.  Steve Lake in Melody Maker in 1975:
-------

U.S.A. simply reworks old material into more immediately assimilable stuff,
and what once seemed thoughtful and carefully realized here seems simply
retailored for the downer freak.  King Crimson was never exactly lightweight
or happy-go-lucky, but their apocalyptic doominess has seldom been so
stultifyingly apparent as it is here.  By comparison, Blue Oyster Cult's live
album "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" almost comes across as a Fine Arts
Statement.

Any comments? :-)
