    No, there are ergonomic reasons to arrange it that way. That part does not translate well in the NST (iirc, it would require some awkward position shifts).

    OK. You say so.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Anthony Garone played it in the hospitality suite at Gorgg last week. It blew us all away including Gary Green! IMO, it was as good as this cover.

    Yes. Anthony is the guy in the "failure to fracture" youtube thing earlier in this thread.
    As mentioned, he had ongoing video features on his "make weird music" website about his struggles in playing fracture.
    I certainly can commiserate.
    I was planning on play it with him, had I made it there.

    Dig this barrage of Chuck Berry licks.

    PS Larks 3 never gets much love. It should...

    Took me 3 days to click on this thread. It was worth the wait. WOW! That is beyond words. SO good!

    I agree about Larks 3. Great track.

    I wasn't aware this song had the awesome guitar intro for years because I was only familiar with the Absent Lovers version, where the intro is indexed as part of the "Entry of the Crims" improv.

    Three of a Perfect Pair was the last of their studio albums I bought.

    H'mm. I kind of like that Electric Gauchos track ... but it has the same flaw to me that is present in the League of Crafty Guitarists album I only play occasionally: it's cold and sterile, even though it's live performance; something I've never heard in a Crimson live performance.

    (And, yes, LTiA #3 is a great track. But, it doesn't quite seem to fit in with the others thematically, as far as I can tell...)

    The main "LTiA3" motif (the one that occurs right after the introduction) also appears in "Sleepless" ("Alright, get a hold of yourself"etc) - maybe not in the album version though.

    I must say, that is one of the best I've seen. Well done, even the Moto Perpetuo part. Maybe a tad too much "effects". I would have appreciated a cleaner sound. But damn the cross-picking is good! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, as I'd not seen that one before.

    Yes that would have been interesting...we missed you, but we got to meet the "Bridge" man Avner Kenner.

    My only problem with Larks III is the ending. It feels uninspired and overall boring (especially in the rhythm department). I was hoping the new lineup would play the Larks Suite in full and rework the ending to make it much more interesting with the extended lineup.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    Here you go, same guy, cleaner sound. The slow part is tentative, but the perpetual motion part...

    It took this guy 22 years to learn Fracture and he even wrote a 300+ page book (coming out soon) on the entire experience. Cool stuff. I guess we do sometimes take Fripp for granted, don't we?

    Good on him. Very impressive 22 year effort.
    What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)

    Video blocked by Aviator Management. Cue Rick Beato-style rant.

    Must be because he was using the real thing to play over?

    I congratulated him in the comments and asked him if Fripp was going to block this...Anthony responded with something along the lines of 'I have a great relationship with Fripp, and he even OK'd the book'.....then less than 12 hours later...poof. Gone. Saw that coming. If Beato can't play a 12-second snippet of Schizoid Man then surely 11 minutes of an entire tune wasn't gonna fly. Its only 22 years, no big deal.

    How many years = Public Domain? If Fripp lives long enough to see that, it'll kill him. "This is the big one, Toyah!"
