Robert Fripp Plays Live on Echoes
Robert Fripp is the founder of King Crimson and he’s a pioneer of progressive rock and ambient music. We’ll hear an exclusive rare live performance from what would become known as the Robert Fripp String Quintet, featuring Fripp, along with Trey Gunn and The California Guitar Trio. The five musicians performed in a few different configurations: solo Frippertronics soundscapes, duets between Fripp and Gunn, trio performances by CGT, and quintets featuring all of them. This concert was recorded in 1993, at Muhlenberg College, as the group took time out of their rehearsals for a short tour. Join John Diliberto with Robert Fripp, the 16th Icon on Echoes.

Is there a way to get a copy of this performance?
No there isn’t. It would be illegal on our part.
I was at this show. It was the coolest ending to any show if any kind I had ever been at. The trio accompanied the departing guests into the lobby of the auditorium continuing to play until everyone departed. Truly very cool.
