Damn ! I was there ! and indeed we laugh, i would merely add that we were greatly encouraged by this giant artist able to experiment, play, while never taking himself too seriously (why serious ? because some people tag him as "avant-garde" or something ???)
Well, in short that performance was a pure joy as almost all of them @ "LE DUNOIS", what an incredible place !

It's beuty full!

Fred Frith played in a band called Henry Cow and worked with Samla Mammas Manna, a band known for being ultra-silly. A little laughter is well encouraged.

Very wise... I really took that to heart.

the conponent of humor is legitimate in music...

obvioulsy the audience had no sense for this fine piece of art. thanks for sharing this video.

I wonder if Fred found it as funny as the audience did.
You can't be a snob about avant garde music, you have to see the humor in it, or else you come off as a pretentious artier than thou type.
Great performance by Fred, I'd say laughter is a better reaction than boos.
