USA, King Crimson's second live album, originally released in 1975, gets a well-deserved deluxe reissue. This album captures the band's final performances from their 1974 "USA" tour, showcasing one of their strongest line-ups: Robert Fripp, Eddie Jobson, David Cross, John Wetton, and Bill Bruford. The reissue features the original six tracks plus three additional songs from the 2002 30th Anniversary Edition. Recorded primarily at the Casino in Asbury Park on June 28, 1974, with one track from the Palace Theatre in Providence, this album exemplifies King Crimson's live prowess. Highlights include the thunderous 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part II),' the atmospheric 'Exiles,' and the intense 'Fracture.' The inclusion of 'Starless,' from their Red album, is particularly noteworthy, as it's one of their finest compositions. '21st Century Schizoid Man,' a staple from their debut album, and the improvisational 'Asbury Park' add to the album's diversity. The deluxe edition's sound quality is exceptional, with added violin and keyboard parts by Jobson enhancing the experience. This reissue surpasses Earthbound, their previous live album, in every aspect - musicianship, setlist, and production. USA stands as a quintessential live album, capturing King Crimson at their creative peak.
