     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. . .

Great set and great cause   Tue., Mar 29, 2011

There seems to be a bubbling enthusiasm throughout the set, T Lev positively bouncing out those notes during Thela before Bobby Willcox comes to the fore and it’s a welcome addition to my double-trio Read more

Ignition is on!   Mon., Mar 28, 2011

Really together performance right from the top, just as the description says. Mix begins heavier on guitars than drums, which makes Tony & Trey’s parts especially audible -- just the sort of emphasis appreciated when hearing a string Read more

Not that any of us should need an incentive to help others, but thanks to Robert and the guys for providing this great incentive to contribute. Having had financial setbacks these past few years, I am particular about purchasing recordings Read more

This show demonstrates that this lineup was probably THE premier band of the 70s, just as the original lineup was probably the premier band of the 60s. Yes, the lyric Read more

Best of the Earthbound tour boots   Fri., Mar 18, 2011
Posted by: Bartman72
Maybe the best documented performance by this lineup in 1972.  Exceptional performances of Pictures & Schizoid Man.  The audience really gets into it too; they’re especially appreciative of Mel. The audio isn’t great, but it’s Read more
