Dooley's East Lansing USA
It takes the Thrang Thrang Gang a little while to find their feet at Dooleys. A certain degree of unsteadiness affects each player in turn and it’s not really until the third number in to they begin to set things alight. The fact that they were 21 of 30 dates into a gruelling American tour might have some bearing on the matter of course.

Upon listening to the gig Mister Stormy was moved to offer these observations about the League in full tow-tapping form. “For me, this tape sheds a great deal of new light on this band. I for one never under estimated the power and ability of this outfit, and this board recording really gives a true picture of the solid professional playing of these performers.

In this show, to these ears, we hear Robert play a straight ahead guitar tone with the shredding power of 73/74 Crimson, and the complexity of where the next Crimson would go. With the solid and basic playing of Sara Lee and Johnny Toobad and great interplay from Barry Andrews, this helped to crystallise and secure the next stage of King Crimson.”

Robert Fripp at his absolute blinding best
I hadn't really listened to The League of Gentlemen properly and thought a gig like this would be a minor curiosity at best. How wrong was I? After listening, I can't help wondering if this was the best band Robert Fripp ever played in. Unlike King Crimson, where everybody has to take their turn and Robert is always one of four or more musicians of exponentially-increasing ability who ultimately have to take turns to give each other space, this is much more of a traditional instrumental band, in...

I met Robert before the gig & asked him to sign a composite drawing I did of KC pics. He politely refused saying (basically): you sign your work-not me. I argued (in vain) to get him to autograph it. When I realized he WAS NOT going to sign it, I pulled out my copy of "Under Heavy Manners"  to which he Responded enthusiastically: "Ahhh, That’s My Work!" and signed it on the FRONT & BACK (I still have this LP). My friends "the LIPS ARE BACK"were opening for TLOG this eve - ver...

Mr Fripp was a little dissapointed that not everyone was dancing.,and he announced that fact. Although my bro Anthony and myself were hitting the ceiling jumping and and dancing in a frenzy. We were devout traditional Crimson fans but had no trouble enjoying "The Gentlemen" and dancing up a drenching sweat.

While living in E. Lansing (first year college) I found a flyer for the LOGposted just as the semester ended on a lamp post.  Standing mouth agape -  I could hardly believe it - Mr. Fripp coming to .... Michigan State.....?  Wha?  Was this a cruel hoax?  Could it be true?MSU was a cultural backwater, and for sanity I would return to Detroit, orroadtrip to Ann Arbor for shows.  No one I met my freshman year knew of Fripp, and only marginally of King Crimson (!). ...
