For reasons unknown this tape is truncated which means that LTIA IV, The ConstruKction of Light and Frying Pan are missing. It’s a mystery so it seems that the somewhat spooky sci-fi interlude providing the backdrop to the beginning of this set is entirely appropriate. FraKctured is given an especially brutal reading here. In the midst of a hot take-no-prisoners blast of drums and samples, Gunn is on fiery form in the first of the improvs, quickly handing the baton over to Fripp, whose dextrous digits rain down all kinds of mayhem on that fretboard! The insane tension is maintained throughout the second improv, stomping along at a slower tempo but no less furious for all that. This is a show with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Just ahead of Three Of A Perfect Pair Adrian plays the arpeggios from The Court Of The Crimson, stopping just before the “On soft grey mornings...” part by saying “If Only I knew the words!” Yep it was that kind of gig, folks.

Arrived Hartford the night before after some 15 hrs traveling all the way from São Paulo, SE Brazil (where I am from, lived there back then).

Arrived Hartford the night before after some 15 hrs traveling all the way from São Paulo, SE Brazil (where I am from, lived there back then). Why I picked this date to be my first stage experience with my all time favorite? Well, no reason, just these coincidences in life that allow you to realize your dreams.I woke up early and moved to the Webster about 12PM, Yes indeed.I experienced everything about that day directly from my deepest dreams.The concert was impeccable. I have to confess I have it recorded on MD, so I will be able to fill in the blanks of the beginning of the concert and make it plain, like that day was for me.Shook hands with Adrian after the concert "Adrian, I came all the way from Brazil to watch this concert, big smile, big thank you". "Robert. this guy came all the way from Brazil to watch the gig". Fripp gave the shoulders like who’s saying "who cares".Everything was just perfect. I still have the tickets, pictures from the outside.Paulo H Leocadio
