A Whole Lotta Hartford Goin' On   June 19, 1996
Written by Mike Stack

Last night was the G3 show in Hartford, so myself and two of my friends headed over to check out RF, basically. Showed up around 6pm or so, were checking out the merchandise when we heard RF starting up. Headed in, checked out the show. He played from 6-7:20 or so, sat off to my left (we were pretty much dead centre). Lots of interesting stuff, seemed to be a lot more chordal strumming than on the albums he's put out. At one point towards the end of RF's set, some idiot started screaming and yelling and banging the chair in front of him. Fripp got louder. Idiot got louder. Fripp got louder. Fripp also looked somewhat annoyed at this point.

A few interesting notes about RF's performance

-most the crowd didn't give a damn, including some guy dressed all snazzily in his business suit, who didn't shut up the whole night.

-RF occasionally got up, took off his guitar, and walked further to my left to talk to someone else. Don't know who.

-RF wore a white shirt untucked and black pants, while switching to a black shirt during the encore (more later...).

-No one smoked anything illegal during Fripp's set, something that couldn't be said for the rest.

Superb recordings, beautiful and clear sound, except for the leaking VCS3 during vocals parts (The letter). The first half improvisation is pure jazz. The greatness of this incarnation hereby prooved once again, one of the best version Read more

To respond to SSImuse, actually, if my research is correct (or if Robert wishes to corroborate me), that Roland organ, the VK-1, was intended to be a Hammond simulation, but without key-click, a second keyboard, or rotary speaker Read more

Not Quite...   Mon., Apr 16, 2012

A good idea...but a wise decision not to have included it; in hindsight, it would have made the song too dated. Now a Hammond organ , on the other hand... Read more
