I've always enjoyed LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE. Thought it so rare he'd bring in so many different artists to play both his songs and theirs as well. After a several years' hiatus, he's resumed filming again, and I ran across this episode with Robert Fripp, who, it turns out is a very old and dear friend.
I've been a casual Fripp fan over the years, the occasional forays into the English prog version of Crimson, and the later reformed version with Tony Franklin and Adrian Belew. So here, they do some of Fripp's catalog ( . . . . somehow skipping over '
Elephant Talk' . . . . ) and I heard this, '
The Farther Away I Am', simply Daryl on a real Yamaha grand and Fripp spinning these ethreal phrases and pads over it. I find this hauntingly beautiful.
Also interesting is the first part of this where he speaks of his seminal work on Bowie's 'HEROES'.
