Robert you are the best i am followed you since I’m 14 now i have 65 and you are better than ever 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Frippertronics are a blessing from Heaven, through Robert's fingers! I am 59 now and have been blessed by listening to Frippertronics since I was 20! Thanks, Robert!

Frippertronics are so haunting... So beautifull... As much as I love Fripp's soundscapes from the 90s onward, Frippertronics still sit on a grand pedestal of their own.

It's a shame there aren't more recordings of him soloing over his tape loops. One of the best concerts I've seen was Fripp, solo; he made two tape loops, took a break and answered questions from the audience, then rewound the tapes and played them back, adding solo leads. Incredible. And I met him backstage!

I saw him during the same tour. Fripp was a gentleman. He invited us for tea during the intermission and we had a brief chat. The audience was maybe around 100 people. What a show it was! Fantastic.

@@blueabattoir Tell us how you managed to get invited to tea! I have a pleasant story about meeting Fripp that very concert. Grab a beer and sit down: I was in college at the time, and being only 17 I was underage for the club (The Paradise, Boston) that Fripp was playing at. I was staying the weekend at a friend's frat house at MIT, and the guys there told me I could borrow the id of one guy who looked a lot like me and I'd be fine ("we do it all the time for little brothers & shit""). But when I went to pick up my (already paid for) ticket, I was told to present my ID _then and there,_ and I couldn't even remember the name of the guy whose ID I was supposed to borrow! When I got back to the frat house, the gang told me I was truly screwed now: the clubs were cracking down on IDs. So I thought I'd go right to the source: find Fripp himself. I kept calling the club, but he was never around. I started calling hotels to ask if he was staying there. (One receptionist: "You're looking for Robert Fripp? As in _the Robert Fripp of Fame?!?!"_ "Yes, that's who I'm looking for." "No, he's not staying here.") Believe it or not, I did find the hotel he'd been staying at, but they told me he'd just checked out. So I called the club one more time. No Fripp. The receptionist said, "Hey, you've called a number of times; can I help you pass on a message or anything?" So I adorned my story a bit, and told her, "I was assigned by my college newspaper to write a review of this concert [untrue], but I'm too young to get into the club [true], so I thought maybe Mr. Fripp himself could help me." "Let me put you on with the manager," she said. She did. I told him the same story, and he said, "Oh, okay... Give me your name, and come on down. We'll let you in. But no drinking, all right?" Delighted and excited, I went to the club, and told them who I was at the box office, and was oddly given a new ticket. I then went to the doorman, showed it to him, and he said "Put it on." "What?" "Stick it on your shirt. It's your back stage pass." Holy Toledo! So the concert was stupendous, of course, and afterwards I gathered the gumption actually to go back stage. I ended up following Fripp to his dressing room, chatting amiably about the concert and some Vaughn Williams we had coincidentally both heard on the radio and admired that morning. He offered me a chair and some M&M's (!), disappeared a moment, then returned with several beers (Budweiser, I well recall). There were four of us visitors total in the room. "So what brings you here, young lady?" he asked the young lady sitting beside me. Turns out she was doing a PhD (Yale, I think) on minimalism in music, and was interviewing everyone involved in that scene (she had just interviewed Steve Reich, also already a hero of mine). "And what brings _you_ here, young man?" he asked, turning to me. "Oh, uh, well, .. " I told my story. He looked at me a bit severely and said, "If I'd known you were from the press, I wouldn't have allowed you in here." "But... but I'm _not_ from the press... I just made that part up in desperation!" He immediately lit up and laughed, "Well, I admire your honesty!" which was the perfect reply. He then offered me a beer. "I won't tell anyone!" All tension vanished. I didn't like beer (at the time) but I couldn't say no and had a few sips. The fourth person there turned out to be none other than Chris Stein (whose name was not then familiar to me as I didn't know about the Fripp-Blondie connection and didn't much like Blondie, but I remembered it and found out later from a Blondie fan at the frat house). They all got to talking "shop," so I took my leave shortly, and not really having any business there. To this day I think about that story every time I think about telling a little white lie!

Dear @worldnotworld, Although they are bootlegs, DGMLive do have some of them on our site with the solos, we have underpinned them with the 1/4' tape loops, www.dgmlive.com/tour-dates/1409?year=1979&liveshow=on. this one was a radio broadcast that we had in our archives and is of a better sounding recording www.dgmlive.com/tour-dates/1414?year=1979&liveshow=on Best Stormy

@@kingcrimson Thank you! I'll check them out pronto!

classic 80s kc. so ambient and so free. all the stress and precision from the 70s its gone in a refreshing way

Fabulous Mr Fripp... Thanks Stormy Mundy for digging this out.

That guitar that comes in at about 1:30 is hair-raising. I haven't heard RF use a tone quite like that before. Thanks Mr. Stormy!

Mr.STORMY ‼️ He shows us the sounds that Philip and Crison were making on a daily basis, and the portraits from the side convey the space where the sounds were being made that the official albums don't convey.

Imagine that throughout over 4 billion years long history of Earth you were born at the right moment to step on the same Planet with such musician.

Early guitar synth, all sounds are guitars. It still blows my mind and I'm in my fifties

Fripp is a trip; he goes on these sublime tangents with like a daydream Debussy vibe, yet doesn't wander far from a structured melody

Treasures that were never lost.

I like so very much song & Fripp's guitars「Blood bruise tattoo」of SAOTW's and these range Frippertronics too. Thank you for Robert Fripp - wonderful Fripp on Fripp．

Love the biting Guitar with the Analog synth, Frippertronics!

I really just want whole ass album of these 80's era Frippertronics for sleep

Far out ✌️to everyone

Basement Record Revolution Cleveland Hts.Ohio. Cliff Wernett and I witnessed history...future...Fripp!

I love it

I like the slightly bum note that enters at 2:17! It takes a few repeats, but eventually it simply settles in with a sort of modest, sweet logic.

Blood bruise Tattoo!! It appears (partly) in the Sunday all over the World only album

Genial 👍

One day there will be Fripp vs. Fripp

The dental root canal I had performed on me today sounded alot similar....and painful!! But who's complaining!!?? It's a "Seinfeld" thang......🖤♠

This was from 1981. That makes it pre Apple. Steve Jobs was just getting out of his garage. Intelligence wasn’t artificial yet. His music/sound (and that many others of the time) were reflecting an anticipated future. 😊

Yes. It is an excerpt. But, I agree.

*In other words, overratedness on overratedness.* Foley artists were making F/X sounds like these for skiffy space movies in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
