Notes

London, UK
ICA Theatre

audience

This is, I believe, the very last "real" Frippertronics show. Anyway, this is the only known Frippertronics performance in 1980. It took place during a short break in The League of Gentlemen World Tour.

Given the uniqueness of this show (has Robert EVER performer in a duo before or since?) I think any sonic deficiencies one might encounter/perceive will most likely be overlooked. Saying that, it is a very listenable recording.

Robert Fripp - guitar, Frippertronics, sundries
Keith Tippett - Piano
??? - percussion
??? - voice


BONUS TRACK
10: Hazaard 1979-10-10 The Midnight Special TV show

As beautiful a piece as Robert has ever done. recorded 27 years ago with a small cassette machine,
the mic held in front of the TV's speaker.
