"Epitaph" features four hours of previously unissued live music. It covers a minute slice of King Crimson's ongoing history: the seven months between the group's BBC Radio debut, in May '69, and the December Fillmore West weekend, when the founding lineup performed its last shows. The music explains much about how Fripp, McDonald, bassist Greg Lake, drummer Michael Giles and lyricist Peter Sinfield defined progression in rock.

For live performances of the first incarnation of King Crimson, look no further.

Line-up :
- Robert Fripp / guitar
- Michael Giles / drums, percussion, backing vocals
- Greg Lake / bass, lead vocals
- Ian McDonald / woodwinds, keyboards, mellotron, vocals
