All this came on friday. Just had time to listen to the Montreal set.
Entry and Industry and definitely from the other night. I'm not positive but I strongly feel Indiscipline and Satori are as well. I don't know songs like Three Of A Perfect Pair enough to know if they are different without doing a direct comparison but at least this is midly encouraging. I have also downloaded that VLC app, so I will probably try to extract from the DVD next week sometime.
The exposures box is pretty nice looking. Still don't know how often I will listen to the many alternate mixes of the album proper, but definitely looking foward to floating away with some frippertronics.

^It definitely feels like a new mix compared to Absent Lovers and not just different track selections (though that is also the case—Belew’s chatter between songs is slightly but obviously different). I picked up KCCC 50 for the sake of completionism and the Levin viddys (which are interesting but underwhelming). I’d be curious to find out if this new standalone Frejus ‘82 has a new mix though I can’t imagine it will.
I’m also curious if anyone else is hearing new stuff on KCCC 50. Tunes and performances that should be very familiar to me at this point feel different, but perhaps I’m hearing something that’s not there.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Good point. Belew's banter is not the same anywhere (I don't believe), so unless there is some tomfoolery all those tracks are from the other night.
I'm not the right person to discuss mixes, because they are always underwhelming/too subtle for me. Even the much ballyhooed Hot Rats remix doesn't sound like a completely different album as it is often pitched, to me (outside of The Gumbo Variations which is obviously pretty different overall). For me, the songs I mentioned definitely are not what I remember on AL. Others I suppose could be a new mix of course.
As for new stuff, I would attribute that more to the Crim than anything else, but as you said, if it is a different mix than that would probably explain it.

So, any more news on this recovered Schizoid clip then. I wasn't aware there was even the potential of anything from that period other than Hyde Park..?
I saw KC on this tour 3 shows later, in Wiesbaden. It was a slightly shorter set - they omitted Neal & Jack & Me, and Heartbeat, because it was a festival date (5th Golden Summernight concert, which also included Neil Young, Jethro Tull, April Wine & Michael Schenker Group). But they were fantastic that night, and I thought the "older" crowd of mostly Tull & Young fans really responded well to the newer music that KC was performing.
Man, wish I could go back and re-live that day.
That does sound pretty sweet. One thing I get from the 80s lineup more than any of the others, is just the fun that they exude on stage. Which is perhaps a bit strange given the 'discipline' aspect, but you can tell they are all having a great time on stage and they really transfer that to the audience and to tape.

My "superfluous" comment was from my seeing the announcement about this release and then checking to see if it offered anything new to people who already owned On And Off The Road.
The first time I saw KC was The Discipline Tour at The Savoy in NYC in 1981. I was totally Blown Away! Also saw the band when they played at The Pier in 1982 and 1984. The 1982 show was still great. By the 1984 show, not only could I feel the tension that was in Crimson by '84, I read about in Musician magazine where Robert laid out his dissatisfaction with KC at the time.
