It bought tickets for this G3 show specifically to see Robert Fripp. I dragged along one of my college friends and we took our seats up in the bleachers. It was a marvelously sunny day and as the crowd was still milling about, getting their beer and nachos ready for the main show, my friend and I were enjoying a serene and meditative soundscape set. At one point, Mr. Fripp set down his guitar and, shielding his eyes from the sun, looked out into the audience to see if anyone was paying attention. Keep in mind the loop was still playing. As he scanned in our direction my friend and I stood and cheered to show our support. After he saw us, he gestured to his guitar, as a conductor of an orchestra might acknowledge his players at the end of a symphony. We laughed heartily!
