The ghostly choirs that whizz and whoop across the beginning of Paradise Lost weren’t exactly appreciated by everyone attending the third night of the UK G3 tour. In fact a substantial number gave Fripp the slow hand clap treatment such was their displeasure at being exposed to these ‘scapes. Not everyone however was pleased about this. Jim Gardner wrote: “Slow hand clapping one of the greatest musicians in the world is something to be ashamed of and utterly contradictory to what Steve Vai has been trying to tell us all about music for all these years IF you where listening. The simple point is; turn on MTV and see how long you have to wait to hear anything anywhere near as abstract and challenging as what Robert played tonight. Then, when you realise this is never going to happen if you waited a billion years shut your neck and go out tomorrow and buy anything by King Crimson, learn what real guitar playing is all about.” Shaun Rowley agreed “I have not heard much of Robert Fripp, and I liked what I heard, although I was a bit unsure his "set" fit in well with the whole night in general. You can almost certainly tell that Fripp has been a massive influence on Vai and Satch, his use of effects was amazing. His music was very mellow, and his control over the overall effect was amazing, he obviously knows his stuff!”
