EPITAPH (Live, Fillmore East, 11/21/1969)
(Fripp, Lake, McDonald, Giles, Sinfield)

These pieces were recorded at Bill Graham’s Fillmore East venue in New York probably on 21 November 1969. The Fillmore East shows are widely held to be the best played by the band in America, and the 8 track recordings made of these concerts, which disappeared after the show, are the Holy Grail for Crimson archivists. These versions come not from those still undiscovered tapes, but from a cassette copy owned by Michael Giles. He was under the impression that his cassette was a widely available bootleg, little realising that he possessed the only known copy of these shows. A Man A City is an early, form of Pictures of a City. Notice that the final verse is instrumental, not sung as at Fillmore West some three weeks later.
