For those who relish those concerts where Fripp explores the darker places of music’s psyche, then this complete performance will certainly raise the hairs on the back of your neck.[endtease]

The seventh concert of his Words And Music tour in June has Fripp conjuring incoming storm clouds of terrible and occasionally terrifying beauty. The opening gambit of Queer Space asks as many questions it answers; this is music whose presence is open-ended, pensive and potentially unsettling.

It is followed by fleeting swoops of angelic voices that swish and sashay across the air before ushering the listener into the ponderous beginnings of Threnody. Yet amidst the song of the mourning hope and light can still be glimpsed. What follows on Acceptance Affirming is tender and gentle by comparison.

After the growling, churning orchestral tumult of Foreboding the peace of Resolution is a breath-taking highlight of this concert. As he was preparing this show for download Mister Stormy felt this track to be especially moving. He’s not wrong.

The guitarist noted that this was again a “good show”. To these ears this was arguably a more introspective set compared to the previous evening in New York’s Society for Ethical Culture. Please note that Acceptance Affirming from this performance first appeared on the Love Cannot Bear album. Please note also that there are some pops and clicks which were caused by a leaking Lunar Module on the tour, and are thus audible here and there. They will in no way spoil your listening pleasure.
