Not if there's been extensive discussion of the unrehearsed, 
improvisational nature of the gig.  It would be unexpected (but not 
unwelcome to me) if this happened at a King Crimson gig, but the ProjeKct 
shows have been publicized as improvisational events.  If you want 
preplanned pieces, go to a Crimson gig, or buy the record.  

I don't think Fripp, Gunn and Belew are holding anything back, or viewing 
this as an easy way out.  I think that the ProjeKct shows are what they 
are capable of producing at that point, with no pre-planning.  Not all of 
it may be to one's taste, but that's the risk of attending that sort of 
show.
