#3163: Robert Fripp’s Soundscapes, Live 2010, Part 2

New Sounds | May 12, 2013

For this second installation of Robert Fripp's Soundscapes as part of New Sounds Live, we present performances that were recorded on the evenings of both Dec. 3 and Dec. 4, 2010.  These performances might possibly have been the last major public outings for the English guitarist, composer, and founder of the prog-rock band, King Crimson.

DGMlive's Eric Anderson described:  "once RF had completed acknowledging the audience, he stood at the center of the stage, cupped his hands beneath his heart, and threw them into the air with a leap. It felt like a gesture of thanks and completion, joyfully delivered."
