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. Mark Kata Mark@asisoftware.com p.s. I left the concert soon after the other acts started. They just seemed to be anti-climactic after the soundscapes. ---------- From: David Myers[SMTP:dmgraph@bway.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 1997 10:38 AM To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com Subject: Fripp tour? 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....
