I remember seeing Frame by Frame on ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’ in 1982 [1] and being blown away by every aspect of it - and puzzled. What do the lyrics mean? Why would Fripp sit in the dark wearing a suit? Almost forty years on and the whole album still intrigues me, which I guess is one measure of greatness.

- dhosek 5y agoI've always thought that Robert Fripp is temperamentally a classical musician who plays rock music.
- klelatti 5y agoAgreed. I’d expand that a bit by saying - he pays a lot of attention to the craft of guitar playing; - he’s much less concerned with the projection of his personality and image than is typical.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoHe still wears a suit at most shows but he stands up now.
- klelatti 5y agoAre you sure? I’ve literally never seen any video of Fripp playing standing up?
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoHe stood up all thru the Orlando show, 2 mos ago And there's this: @ 2:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57fYwyhajk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57fYwyhajk - him w/ crafty guitarists
- klelatti 5y agoWow! Thanks and that’s a great clip too. Some of the comments are hilarious - equally as astonished as I was.
