 Performance Question June 14, 2011
Written by MarkSullivan
This is a lovely recording--I’d have given it 4.5 stars if I could have--and it’s wonderful to hear the synced solos. You don’t get the full effect of a Frippertronics performance with just the loops. I attended a 1979 performance (at Second Chance in Ann Arbor, Michigan), and Fripp took himself out of the loop for brief solos during the creation of the first loop. The second set consisted of him soloing over a playback of the first loop. I assume that was his standard practice. So my question is, were there such solos played during the creation of these loops? If so, this is an incomplete record of the performance (but it’s great to hear the solos over the loops, so I’m not complaining). As I said, not a complaint, just a question.

Good grief--just when I thought you couldn’t outdo the incredibly enticing Fripp/Wetton/Phil Collins segments posted a few months back, now you go and casually toss out something this historically meaningful. Would it be too much to say that this may be the very Read more

Thanks again Robert for this gem from the vaults.
Aside from the poor sound quality I can see why this did not make the cut on the album. It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to Let the Power Read more
