[Septober Energy]

Excellent stuff, Theo. I assume that's you in the vid?

[NogbadTheBad]

Very nice - autobuy

[nosebone]

Did he become a priest?

[frippster]

Indeed. Looking forward to this as well.

[spknoevl]

Beautiful!

[Theo T]

Yes - that's me...

:up

[HealthyNational]

Brilliant as usual, wouldn't expect anything less after all these decades.

[NogbadTheBad]

Did he become a priest?
I think Fripp just likes the acoustics in a church.

[polmico]

Excellent stuff, Theo. Can't wait for this one to arrive--but since I ordered from DGM Live, I guess I'll have to wait. :)

[Wisdomview]

Very nice indeed!

[Meme Prog Mutation]

Did he become a priest?

He has long been the High Priest in the Church of Prog.

[Dave (in MA)]

I'm seeing ripples in the stained glass windows, and I swear I only had one IPA.

[bill g]

Very nice. Love the Fripp/Flute combination.

[Sean]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thanks, Theo!

but it was a foot long?

[happytheman]

Very Cool. Thanks for posting the link!

[Smörgåsbord]

Heh, that video sounded like early Kraftwerk, esp. when the flute came in.

[mozo-pg]

Unreal.

[mozo-pg]

I meant to add to my long post - loved it!

[timmy]

sooooo Fripp hasn't really retired then, has he? (good!)

[AncientChord]

For someone that has just quit the music business (yeah...right!) this is pretty damn good. :)

[Dave (in MA)]

sooooo Fripp hasn't really retired then, has he? (good!)

That was from 2010.

[polmico]

That was from 2010.

I thought it was from the new album.

[polmico]

So I sent an email to DGM Live curiously wondering where my order (Travis/Fripp Follow and '71 Marquee) placed on 10.12 was. Always an adventure!

[scorched earth]

The video was recorded on October 29 and 30, 2010 and I'd guess the last of Fripp's contributions to the album were recorded in 2010.

[polmico]

Well shows you what I know.

[Haruspex Carnage]

i thought Fripp's just retired from live performance no?..and as much as i'm not religious, the idea of playing in places that are QUIET and almost reserved for such, invites me/makes it that much more powerful in terms of music.

[scorched earth]

Interesting that in his last comment on the subject (Oct. 10th), he seems to leave open the possibility of further performances in that kind of setting:

"12.20 In response to your September 25, 2012 Diary entry.
:: Posted by hakram on October 09, 2012
If I did not feel (joy) I would sell my guitars and quit playing.

My choice was to end playing publicly in performance contexts mediated by commerce. The quality of my life and personal happiness has increased remarkably since."

Still waiting.

Funnily enough, DGM emailed back and said it would be shipping at the end of the week--the week of 11.12 . . .

[NogbadTheBad]

Mine has been shipped from Wayside this week. Hopefully have it by the weekend.

[boilk]

Beautiful stuff. Thanks for posting, Theo!

neil

[scags]

Good work, Theo. thanks
