The Night Watch (album)

The Night Watch is a live album (2-CD set) by the English rock band King Crimson, recorded in Amsterdam in 1973, and released in 1997.

This album contains an important performance in King Crimson's career, being the source of the improvisations "Trio" and "Starless and Bible Black", the Fripp instrumental "Fracture" and the intro to the song "The Night Watch", all of which were included, with some editing, in the 1974 album Starless and Bible Black.

Prerecorded excerpts of (No Pussyfooting) appear at the end of "21st Century Schizoid Man" similarly to what was included at the beginning of USA.

The concert began with a version of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part I)", a recording of which has never been found.
