I was at this show, but was running late, having worked my way down from Dallas. I saw the show in Fort Worth the night before, and the guy who threw (what looked like to me) a CD case, was sitting right behind me. It struck Robert on top of his head as they were taking their bows, and before I could turn to address this guy, he cowardly slipped away. I was hoping the band could overlook this and play the encore, which they did, and the version of Larks II was absolutely beautiful.

In my haste to get to the Austin venue, after learning the tickets were only being sold there the day of the show, I accelerated across the divided 4-lane road to avoid oncoming traffic into the access road to the Music Hall. It had rained earlier, and there was a large pool of water in the road, nearby where a pedestrian was walking on the sidewalk. I slowed as I hit the puddle to minimize the splash, and stopped I looked over to see if the guy got wet, and to my utter surprise...it was Robert Fripp! I mouthed the words I’m Sorry though my rolled up window, as he looked startled and annoyed at me, likely seeing the "Red" t-shirt in my rear window.

I tried to park quickly so I could catch Robert before he went inside, but was too late. So Robert, if you are reading this, I’m sorry, I didn’t purposely try to splash you and thanks for making this show available. I can’t wait to relieve that night’s show, it too was wonderful.

For years, I’ve told my friends that the last rock show I remember attending that made me jump up and down screaming with joy was this Austin KC gig.  I remember who I attended the show with, and turning to my friends with each number to say: "I can’t believe they’re playing [insert song name]!!!"  Now I can own it!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  My heart soars.
