     SOUND  VISION WORD
   

Entry, First Avenue, Minneapolis   June 20, 1984
Written by Mark Newstrom

The concert was preceded by various videos, one of which was Andy Summers and Robert Fripp performing (?) from "I Advance Masked."  The ballerinas were lovely and lithe, I can't say anything about the guitarists. 

The concert was pure joy, including three moments seared in my memory:
Moment A)

Having just finished a number ("Elephant Talk" I believe), Adrian addressed the crowd:
AB: So do you like the weird stuff?
Aud: YEA, applause, etc.
AB: Well I do too..
At this point, AB makes another strange guitar noise, but his reaction is total dismay; not the sound he expected.  He then realizes he's been had, and looks over to see RF almost falling off his stool trying to contain himself. 

 AB: That's Fripp 3, Belew 2... (audience erupts laughing and clapping)
Moment B) Robert absolutely shredding the guitar/violin solo section in "Lark's Tongues in Aspic, part II."  Certainly seemed that "the Muse had descended."
Moment C) no flashes, a receptive audience, Robert stays on with the band at the end.  We all salute each other. . .

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
