Don’t let the lo-fi origins of this audience recording put you off. Alex “Stormy” Mundy has refreshed and invigorated The League to such an astonishing degree that it’s on a par with the Official Bootleg. [endtease]Whereas that release was compiled from four performances in Toronto and one in Denver, what we have here is one gig complete with stage announcements that suggest that had KC not reformed, Fripp could have profitably explored an alternative career as a comedian. For those who’d prefer him to shut up and play his guitar, well you get plenty of that as well. Boy At The Piano is endowed with rhapsodic flourishes that flit somewhere between Exposure and bizarrely, The Nightwatch, whilst Christian Children sounds like it could be an out-take from Bowie’s Scary Monster sessions from earlier that year. Thrang Thrang Gozinbulx II (or Imminent as it was called it then) has that revved-up ending that calls upon the spirits of Sailor’s Tale and LTIA pt2 for their blessing. There’s a slightly stunned silence at the end of it, broken by a punter saying “Heavy!” He got that right. Simply put what you have here is the best part of an hour filled with killer riffs and extraordinary out-there guitar, nattily dressed up as pile-driving music for those who like to dance with a twist of dissonance.

I hitched down from Liverpool for this concert and it was totally worth it. Which was good as it took me 23 hours to hitch back home! I took a photograph of Robert as the band took to the stage and I was promptly told off by him! I still have the photo. I remember Barry Andrews wrestling with his keyboard for most of the gig, you couldn’t take your eyes off him. At the end of the gig you felt like you had been musically assaulted but in a good way. And now I have downloaded the concert I can f...

a wave from the past
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 Satan’s bollocks’. Whatever became of the Martian Schoolgirls? I remember the bass player as quite distinctive.

Glimpse of a Raging Performance
I just sat down to listen to the first track off this before going to bed. 50 minutes later the second wild performance of  Inductive Resonance comes to a screaming conclusion and bed seems even more distant.The songs here have much more energy than the Thrang bootleg, and are of course fairly different beasts to the nice and tidy LOG studio album, especially the overpolished 1985 remixes.I would specially elevate "Christian Children...". This has never made much of an impression on me befo...

The Power of Gurdjieffian Metaphysics
First of all, I enjoy this recording immensely. Reading the posted notes about it got me very excited, so then I just had to put my pet parakeet aside and order the digital information. This gig is a bold statement and it is clear that Fripp took this band on a serious ride. He ’dropped in’ some complicatedly complexified concepts including important secrets of 7-ness, and, well, just the right amount of glistening wisdom on "Trap". Highlights: 1. "Boy at the Piano" is very r...
