David Sylvian & Robert Fripp
The Road To Graceland Tour
December, 1993
"As the river runs, tumbles and turns
You know you shouldn't stay
Or play the game again
But it could be different this time
You may win"
*I saw this amazing show on October 28, 1993 at the beautiful
Zellerbach Hall on the campus of UC Berkeley, and it remains a highlight memory.
Below, David gives us a little background on the project and within,
the band delivers a sonic document of the short-lived tour.
Enjoy loudly.
"Robert approached me in late 1991 about whether I wanted to
join a new King Crimson he was forming. Though very flattered,
I decided that I didn’t feel equipped to take on the whole baggage and history
that comes with being a member of King Crimson.
So instead we took the offer of the tour as an opportunity to
write material for an album. It was a way of combining Robert’s
and my approach to recording music,
and a challenge that I enjoyed."
