I'd quite happily chat to McDonald, but if Fripp walked into the room, I'd scarper!

What is it you don't have? I often pray that someone will come up with a bootleg of the 28th October 1973 gig at Birmingham (U.K.) Town Hall. I went to that gig, and in the 40-odd years I've been going to gigs, that STILL remains the best ever. Not loud, yet perfectly audible, Great music, perfectly played AND a good audience atmosphere. The highlight was a "Trio" style  improv with Fripp & Cross playing BOTH their trons. Magic!
