 Tight little dance band! March 3, 2010
Written by freshlet
I have heard poor quality bootlegs of LoG before, but this is like a ride in a Cadillac limousine! What I hear is a rhythm section that is hard and tight as a nail. The bass playing of Sara and Johnny on the drums is so in- the- pocket that Robert has a beautiful blank palette on which to paint his prolific and pioneering guitar work. I hear the templates of "Frame By Frame", the wicked super-fast rhythm strumming of "The Sailors Tale" soloing, and some absolutely ripping lead playing that brings to mind "Neurotica", "Breathless" and "Lark’s Tongues in Aspic Pt I"! The other wonderful bit of all this playing is the odd off-kilter rhythm/lead that Barry adds with the keyboards. The horny feel of this band is driven by the relentless rhythmic drive of Sara & Johnny, but with Robert’s astounding guitar work and Barry’s other-worldly keyboard brilliance, LoG take you to some wild places!!! Pick this sucker up if you want to hear a band that was probably two decades before it’s time. Thanks so much Robert, David S., Alex, Sid and DGM!!! You guys are the best.

This one is just plain FUN! Everyone sounds great. I missed my only LoG show with the flu, so this partially makes up. Definitely UNDERrated for audio.
Must go dance now.

If I remember correctly didn’t RF describe The League of Gentlemen as "music for people with intellegent feet", he certainly wasn’t wrong. The set moves along at a frenetic pace from start to finish, although the untitled track is a Read more

Since I was there at the time, it’s a strange experience to get to revisit yourself. In my memory, this was even stronger than what we can hear; the athmosphere very intense and the band (to quote one of my companions) ’hotter than Read more

I am detracting one star only for the over-all sound. There is hiss evident making this a not so optimal headphone listening experience. The music seslection by the band as well as the performance itself is Read more
