King Crimson: Marquee, London
Ian MacDonald, NME, 24 February 1973
THE MARQUEE MAY be an ace gig as far as groups are concerned but, for audiences, it can be most uncomfortable particularly when the band's drawn a big crowd. Crimso drew a big crowd on Saturday and most of them appeared to be taller than me and to stand between me and the stage.
