Sorry about the limited setlist - Not only does Fripp not announce songs, he didn't speak a word the entire evening.
Any help with the set list would be appreciated.

The show was great - the League of Crafty Guitarists are a group of talented players who follow Fripp's zen-like stage personality but play with abandon.
Fripp sat in his chair behind his stack of electronics and played - sometimes with the LCG, sometimes by himself, and sometimes letting TLCG play without him.
The 1st track is several of the LCG players all aying something in various languages - the last of which was in english and turned out to be Fripp's statement of policy regarding no photos and no recordings.
You could omit this track and #19 as well without losing any music - I left them in so that you can decide if you want the entire experience or not.

The sound in the World Cafe was wonderful and the recording reflects it.
I was dead center on the elevated rear platform over the soundboard.
I did nothing to the raw recording except split the tracks, and increase the volume on the final acoustic song, then encode to flac.
