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.
