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.

I always loved The League of Gentlemen, now I want to marry it. I waited for our date in San Francisco but it never came. Thirty years on this fantastic recording deepens the wound.

Sort of a "missing link" between Show Of Hands and Intergalactic Boogie Express - live in Europe 1991, this CD actually used to be on sale at 1991 Europe shows and, occasionally, at GC Read more

Beyond Crimson Sun., Mar 28, 2010

Great improvised music. Chaos gives us some intense guitar and fractured flute. Field of Green floats on soprano sax like an outtake from an ECM album. The Unquestioned Answer starts out knotted and fluttery and builds to Read more

This is a beautiful collaboration. The expansion of textures provided by flute and sax take the soundscapes to another place, and Travis and Fripp really seem to be listening to each Read more

A Lovely Piece Sun., Mar 28, 2010
Posted by: dshoemaker
This is a lovely and delicate piece. It reminds me a bit of the tone poems on Eno’s Another Green World. As a previous reviewer noted, this piece varies from the Frippertronics/Soundscapes approaches we may have heard more Read more

As others have said, this really doesn’t sound like either Frippertronics or Soundscapes. Both of them usually involve shifting harmonies and rhythms due to the looping Read more
