	7th Note San Francisco, California

Notes
The best show of the P4 tour. The 7th Note was packed to the gills with an enthusiastic audience, many of whom were actually dancing as Pat opened up this electrifying gig.

Playing with a confidence and assurance bordering on scary, there was no grasping and searching for the muse on this evening – they upped and grabbed it by the lapels and swung it around.

Arguably this gig distils and delivers the electronica version of Crim that Fripp had thought about at the start of the KC-Fractal process.

The main set concludes with a profoundly danceable rendition of Seizure that beats any other version officially available to date. Of this track I wrote at the time “Trey and Tony tap out the two notes, RF conjures up the dark stuff. As the rhythm keeps building up, so does the sense of excitement and anticipation. I'm convinced I can hear King Crimson playing.”
In his diary, Fripp remarks “My sense is the performance came together for the second set. A generous audience, and some good Crimson music emerging.”

Aside from Fripp’s brief career as a stand-up comedian (telling one of his sister’s jokes) the other bonus track here is a cracking little version of Vrooom – slightly out of place considering the rest of the music, but designed to send the good folks of SF home with a recognisable spring in their step. Absolutely fecking essential!

11.33 In 30 minutes I'm checking out of the Commodore and moving to Chez Patricianear the Golden Gate Park, where I'll be staying until next week.

Toyah is flying in tomorrow afternoon for five days and we'll be based atPatricia's. Our time together in America is less hustled than England, whereit's impossible to go anywhere without Toyah being subject to the gaze. Herewe are free to be little people together, playing and having fun.

Over my morning coffee I am continuing to enjoy David Blake's "Land WithoutMusic" and followed this with a visit to Borders, Union Square.Acquisitions: "Senses Of Place" (1996 eds. Steven Feld & Keith H. Basso) &"Doris Lessing: Conversations" (1994 ed. Earl G. Ingersoll).

I read the first edition of Steven Feld's "Sound And Sentiment: Birds,Weeping, Poetics and Song in Kaluli Expression" (1982) 15 years ago(acquired during Crimson rehearsals in Champaign, Illinois, where AdrianBelew then lived). And Doris has long been a Hero of mine. I devoured "TheGolden Notebook" and the Martha Quest "Children Of Violence" series whenemerging from Sherborne House (I gave the Martha Quests to Peter Gabriel).But the Dorises which I most enjoy are the "Canopus In Argos" volumes, whichI read on their first publication.

The first two volumes of Lessing autobiographies are on my shelves at homeand I am buying them for Nicky, Toyah's sister, as Christmas presents thisyear.

A fax from Diane at DGM World Central this morning addresses my visit tomeet David DelGrosso of DTS in Malibu next week. I am also planning to visitthe new DGM (physical) office premises in Los Angeles, meet Eric and Billfor the first time, and venture out to experience the full monty of DTS.

But now to close my suitcase and set off.

Excellent stereo imaging in the recording, while listening I feel as if I was there (which, alas, I wasn’t). The Muse was allowed entrance by the team and audience. Fantastic work, players and DGM team! Thanks for making this one available!
