To my disappointment, Fripp behaved like a spoiled rock star and hid behind his sound rack (which blocked the audience's view) for the entire show. His vane behavior is totally unacceptable. Part of the duties of a performer is at least to be visible to the audience. Fripp drones on about the "relationship between the performer and audience," when he cares for neither. Now before you exclaim, "oh lighten up, thats just Fripp," let me ask you, if you were a fan of cellist Yo Yo Ma and you attended his concert and he performed hidden as Fripp did in Nashville, how would you feel? What would you're impression? Totally inexcusable and a total waste of money and time. I could've stayed home and watched the Elektrik DVD and saved $400.00 that I spent on gasoline. Such great talent and a total lack of class. My friend and I traveled from Houston to Nashville to see Crimson perform Sunday evening.
