John Kelman at AllAoutJazz.com continues his regular reviews of King Crimson and related artists with a thorough look at the Crimson reissue of the four CD boxed set The Great Deceiver (Live 1973-1974). Previously out of print for some time, The Great Deceiver showcases Robert Fripp, David Cross, John Wetton and Bill Bruford at the peak of their improvisatory powers. Kelman writes that “none of the other incarnations could match this Crimson for its energy, unfettered sense or exploration and ability to let things happen in a completely unconsidered way.”
