The space had been located a week earlier by Peter Sinfield, who along with fellow roadie, Dik Fraser, had helped haul the equipment down the flight of stairs into the cramped surroundings. After setting up the group played for an hour and a half. ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Cool! Happy Birthday to the King! I wonder when Fripp will release a 20 CD box set of Steven Wilson remixes of that hour and a half rehearsal  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

No idea they only jammed for 90 minutes! What a magic hour and a half that must have been. Happy birthday KC! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Ironic, after making the box set joke I spent the rest of yesterday listening to The Road to Red Honestly though, I think it's great Fripp puts together these boxes...I have The Road to Red and The Great Deceiver and nearly pulled the trigger on Sailors Tales. I passed because I couldn't imagine listening to the rehearsal auditions more than once and I already have 4 live KC Collectors Club shows from the Islands lineup  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |
