One of the reasons I bought Phil's COLLECTION was to hear the 801 LIVE stuff, which I haven't found anywhere else. Some of it's OK, though I think Brian Eno's voice really takes some getting used to....<br />And, yeah, I think you're right -- Bob Fripp does maybe sound a little ... uh ... constipated when he plays, like he's holding it all in by force. ... But that's what I LIKE about him.<br />Thanks for dropping in. Are you writing anything new lately...?<br />TADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853931230081777310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269925294673930988.post-492653443850245792017-02-13T19:32:13.759-08:002017-02-13T19:32:13.759-08:00Hey TAD! 801 Live is one of my favorite records e...Hey TAD! 801 Live is one of my favorite records ever. The Fat Lady From Limbourg wasn't on the original record, and if you're listening on that weird Manzo collection, you're getting it all mixed in with other stuff that for the most part isn't as good. I like Phil a lot, though. he has a playfulness that's sorely lacking among a lot of the more avant garde guitar players (I mean, what's up with Fripp, anyway? He sounds like he's holding in a fart when he plays to me). Manzo wears those silly fly eye glasses and slips and slides all over the place, and then he doesn't even care if he's not the focal point of the song. I like that about him.2000 Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448040911386703323noreply@blogger.com
