I've seen  the Fripp a couple of times , and I thought it was cool that he
sat there, doing his thing, in the semi dark.  I speculated about reasons
for this, but some time later I read that Mr Fripp has a problem with his
eyes : it seems he just can't stand very bright light.
With all this loop - ambient or whatever, it's nice that there are some
visuals, but if the music's really good, I just close my eyes (after I've
had a good look at the musicians tools of course)
