Robert Fripp's Diary

Hotel Acceptable, Krakow.

 24.09

The Team reset the Sirius Probe to eliminate noise on Soundscapes. Noise was not eliminated but the quality of my guitar sound went instead. Hopefully, FOH Chris Porter dealt with this in the group mix. In the cans, it sounded as if I was playing through a cheap phaser.

An interesting moment during one of the pieces: I felt as if I were directing the ensemble. I recognized this moment: it was how Billy B. felt, as I know from finding myself behind Bill’s eyes, looking out and experiencing his experience, during a TOAPP session off Queensway in 1983. In a recent interview, Bill referred to his role of directing the band from behind. As a note, directing the action is not how I view my own playing role within the band.

Probably the best performance of the three nights in Krakow, and perhaps the most effusive audience. Regrettably photography disturbed my evening. Perhaps those taking the pix are unaware of the extent of the disturbance they generate. Or maybe, don’t care. Either way, there are repercussions and they are not good repercussions: they spoil something precious which then becomes less available to the performance.
