The band at this stage was the same as the one that recorded the classic prog rock studio album In the Court of the Crimson King:
Greg Lake – vocals, bass guitar
Robert Fripp – guitar
Ian McDonald – woodwinds, keyboards, mellotron
Michael Giles – drums, percussion
It’s hard to keep up with the personnel changes.
