A mixture of chronological distance from the original events and the status of the band's debut album 'In the Court of the Crimson King' as an iconic/classic studio recording, has helped to obscure the fact that the original King Crimson line-up - although it lasted slightly less than a year - earned the bulk of it's contemporary standing as Britain's 'best new band' on the strength of it's incendiary live performances. Epitaph (Volumes I & II) presents recordings of BBC sessions from the period immediately preceding the launch of the album and US live performances from November and December 1969. Included is a complete performance from the final run of gigs at the legendary Fillmore West in San Francisco.
