ProjeKct Four on October 27, 1998 in Vancouver

ProjeKct Four

	October 27, 1998

	Richard's On Richards Vancouver, British Columbia

Notes
After travelling from Boulder and grabbing a bit of RnR time, the team took to the stage in front of a capacity crowd at Richards on Richards. The third gig by the band involves an initial amount of uncertainty in the early stages, yet they soon get into their stride. Around the 17 minute mark of this continuous first set Trey and Robert go into the Sus-Tayn-Z theme, which in turn leads to a spacious and indeed spacey solo fluttering above Robert’s melancholic orchestral voices. This section alone is worth the price of admission. Oh and listen out for a surprise guest appearance from Ade.
The second set begins with Robert “on the decks” as it were, dialing up On Acceptance from That Which Passes (and others) and then layering it with live soundscapes before morphing into Seizure. Though Tony struggles to find the right tempo, once the crew lock into the groove this little hummer really starts rattling the cutlery. Possibly not as righteously groovesome as the previous performance in Boulder but until that one appears online this'll do to keep the pulse moving along. Oh and this Hindu Fizz is the biz! As I noted at the time “This is extraordinary stuff for sure - very exciting and thrilling. Pat is pushing the others into unknown territory with this blend of live-time and programmed playing.”

Band Member Diaries

Written by Robert Fripp
10.53 Murchie's Coffee & Patisserie Place of Moderate Delights, Robson Street.

My spirits are a little low: why is this? I miss my wife, my home, and Beaton the Wonder Bun. But that's not it, quite. Is it the parade of panhandlers, the young homeless, and (I suspect) junkies on every block? That's part of it. Is it the weather: the constant grey, drizzling embrace of the sky which reaches out to hold the 24th. floor of the Shearaton in a chill snuggle, and accompanies me to the lower levels?

Yes! Of all these factors, the weather is the most dulling. If the sun were shining I would continue to miss Horse, Home and Rabbit but my longing for them would be more readily borne.

In search of a more energising place to enter this diary than Room 2414 I have come down to Robson, main drag of Vancouver, and found both the Starbucks (on opposite corners) utterly unworthy of my patronage. They offer no welcoming tables to sit at with either book or computer, only bars to semi-sit / stand while pumping down the brew. Murchie's is the first place which has allowed me some promise of support, and I am taking my medicine: latte with a Beast Cake of Wonderment and Terror.

My spirits are gently reviving, but not yet in outward-going joyful mode. Devil Disease continues to disrupt the efficient operation of my throat and nasal passages, but has loosened its hold upon my psyche.

News from DGM: the King Crimson 15-month calendar (January 1999 - March 2000) is completed. Pablo Mandel, visiting Argentinian, has been putting this together. David tells me that completing the ProjeKct One and "Cirkus" releases will await my return on November 24th. following Soundscapes on the East Coast.

#2414; 17.34

A gentle and revivifying afternoon of reading, reflection and practice. And I have blown my Wife a kiss goodnight. Off to the sound check at 18.00.

This show is so unlike the rest of the ProjeKcts stuff. It’s nice to see the band switching it up every single night, and not just hitting us with the same thing over and over again. To get every show off this tour would be a treat. It’s so cool that the first set is totally uninterrupted (I can really only think of one place to cut it (The part where the jam kind of ends and then Pat starts with an entirely new beat),but what’s the point). This band just went wherever they felt like it and had a few songs in the pocket if they ran out of ideas, but did they even need them? Highly recommended
