There’s a heavier vibe present in the opening piece by the boys on would be prove to be the final P6 gig. There’s a greater upfront urgency in the soloing right from the off and once again, it’s Time Groove which provides Fripp with the platform to really take off. As with Keswick, there’s a rush of strikingly beautiful melodic ideas and lines being floated here. A steadier Queer Jazz provides a kind of provisional holding space as Fripp clicks through the settings coming up with phat bass and toward the end, some especially jagged sounds that save the day.

The title of this review is Australian Rock Music Press ikon Molly Meldrum’s signature phrase. And you would be mad not to buy all four of these shows for a mere $20 (or a bit more for flac). They are truly magnificent. Mr Fripp is more active as a guitarist rather than a soundscaper in these contexts, and on these dates he is burning. The percussion is less an intrusion than i thought it might be, and drives the pieces on, spurring the guitarist. The four shows are different enough that you will not regret your decision. All your desired moods from the strings with rhythms to make you move. (alternatively, do DGM a favour, buy one and realise that you want[need] all four)
