The League Of Gentlemen
Quebec City
14 Jun 1980

Parlez-vous Francais? Even if you don’t, you can be pretty sure that the dulcet Dorset voice at the beginning of the tape has just informed the inhabitants of Quebec that the League of Gentlemen are, in fact, a dance band. On the first night of the LoG’s North American tour Barry Andrew’s organ is cajoled into emitting a hell of shrieks and growls which is clearly appreciated by all within range. In terms of Fripp resonding to encouragement, well, there’s plenty of it to be heard from an enraptured crowd as he rips it up during Thrang Thrang Gozinbulx.

The next step is Discipline

The 1980s see a very different King Crimson incarnation originally touring under the name Discipline . The presence of Adrian Belew meant that Robert Fripp was working for the first time with another guitarist. This incarnation of Fripp, Belew, Bruford and Levin becomes the first one to record successive studio albums with the same lineup.
