Written by jlauer

I’m embarrassed to say that I just found this performance available on the DMG website.  I immediately downloaded it.  I was at this show and it was my first (of now many) live experiences with RF.  Watching Robert perform with just his guitar and a tape machine in the back of a record store was amazing.  I had always wished I could relive this show and what do you know, here it is. 

 

However, unless RF did two performances in Chicago during this time, I remember him playing at Rose Records, not the Sound Warehouse.  Rose Records was on Ashland Avenue, just north of Belmont (I found a picture at:  http://digital.chipublib.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/rwk&CISOPTR=229&CISOBOX=1&REC=6).  I remember buying a copy of “In the Wake of Poseidon” for Robert to sign after the show.  I already owned ‘Exposure’ and being a poor (and cheap) college student (with a desire to get an autograph) I instead bought one of the only KC albums I didn’t own at the time.

 

Regardless of the location, it’s great to hear this again.

As a music fan all I can say is that going to a record shop/warehouse and hearing one of my favourite performers playing live could have been the most welcome surprise. Unfortunately it never happened: all Frippertronics gigs took place so far from Read more

The most beautiful Frippertronics I have ever heard. Extraterrestrial music from Ailleurs... A great trip, going from unsettling strangeness to heavenly meditative music to exhilarating moments of absolute satanic darkness that lead to rapturous joy, no Read more
