Leo, thanks so much for reporting on the concerts from a musician’s perspective. It must have been a rich experience being part of the ebb and flow of ideas between the participants as the “conversation” evolved.

Long live Communist Pointillism! Hurrah!

WoW, Fripp, Eno, Abrahams. Has a ring to it. Love Grape and Grain. First heard it on Echoes with John DeLaberto, “CD of the MONTH” and had to have it. It takes me to a special place. I haven’t followed Marianne Faithful in like 40 years so am surprised how much you do with her. I can still hear her voice in my head when someone mentions her name though, ha, ha. It’s all good!!
Although Grape and Grain was my first introduction, I will be on the lookout to add to my Abrahams collection.
Keep up the excellent work (If you call it that) ha, ha.

Fantastic concerts! I went to all three, but they went by so quickly. Well done.

P.S. Please make Pure Scenius available on DVD at some stage.

I grew up on the staple diet of classic rock guitarists and a new world opened when I first heard Phil Manzanera working with Brian Eno and the works with Robert Fripp.
Micheal Karoli thrilled me with those early can records when they ran on improvisation. It would have been a joy to see them play live way back when.
Having experienced the three performances of Scenius, I felt this was where I derive the most musical enjoyment. When musicians of your calibre can flow so (what seemed to me) seamlessly from musical point to point, it becomes thrilling, engrossing. I was able to allow the four and half hour performances to sweep me along.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.
By the way……isnt it a long way to everywhere from Aus.!

Scenius was brilliant I went to all 3 shows. Loved the concept and the way that the whole developed from one show to the next. For ex your playing Leo was distinctly different in each of the 3 shows. Great stuff!!
