RE: Fripp tour?

[Mark@asisoftware.com (Mark Kata)]

I saw Fripp open for the G3 tour last summer at Pine Knob in Clarkston, 
Michigan.

He started playing around 6 p.m. While the show was scheduled to start at 
7:30.

There were a handful of people in the pavillion and, at first, I was 
disappointed at what I was SEEING.  He'd play a few notes, let them loop 
and then play a few more.  The applause was less than sparse.

Then I decided to close my eyes and just LISTEN.  Wow!  That's where it 
all came together for me.

As a looper, it's easy for me to get wrapped up in the contents of his 
rack and all the techno-geek stuff.  But once I concentrated on the music, 
I saw the light.

p.s.  I left the concert soon after the other acts started.  They just 
seemed to be anti-climactic after the soundscapes.

Got tickets for Bob's space journey here at the Bottom Line, Dec. 13.
Anyone know if he's doing other dates, seen him lately?  Frankly, I almost
passed up this gig since the Soundscape CD's seem to indicate he's been
working with about one-and-a-half musical ideas, of late.  "Lookit how much
gear I've got!" is hardly an artistic statement.  But maybe some of you
guys will take in the show & post your views....
