Playing with The Damned - Robert Fripp & David Singleton - MusicFest Café, Bethlehem, Sept 26th 2022

[@nicolaenicolas6088]

Fripp and Captain Sensible, very interesting, two great artists in contemporary music and so temperamently different, but I'm not suprissed that they've met for playing. Thank you for this interesting post.

Love RF telling stories so much! Pure artisti-zm))

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

Awesome!

[@johnkerwin9567]

I'm a huge Robert Fripp AND Captain Sensible fan. (WOT?!) I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for those sessions! (And yes, Sensible is a talented guitarist.)

[@hfhifi6878]

I remember when that song came out. I heard the opening riff and immediately knew it was him even though it made no sense at first.

[@muffinman4353]

Seen Fripp perform many times...... Incredible.

[@waynesworld7804]

Did that story finish or was it cut off? Just felt like there was a little more.

[@paulmaguire]

Is there a second part?

[@CatCasual]

Yeah! Would love to hear the rest

[@no-defun-allowed]

Do listen to Curtain Call if one gets the time. Fripp also played with The Stranglers, when Hugh Cornwell was arrested.

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

That's a great song, 18 minutes long

[@MEGAMIGA]

Fantastic! I simply cannot picture Robert Fripp MOONING at someone! 🤣🤣🤣 The man is a treasure

[@Einherjer895]

I didn't even know he had a butt to moon!

[@daphnelawless9194]

Greg Lake cracks up in "Cat Food" because Fripp was mooning him from the control room of the studio

[@MEGAMIGA]

@@daphnelawless9194 For real??! 😮

[@daphnelawless9194]

@@MEGAMIGA for real. "The anarchic mood of the song occasioned by Keith Tippett’s freewheeling piano and Greg’s mid-song laughter (caused by Fripp dropping his trousers whilst Lake was singing) made this one of the most unlikely single releases of the year." (NOTE: I keep trying to post this with the link to the source of the quote, David Singleton on the DGM website, but it keeps being deleted?!?)

@@daphnelawless9194 I would have loved to be in the studio! (Yes, KZbin does not want links to be shared. Probably an anti-spam feature)

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

Love it!!

[@yungbathwater]

Well now I have another band to add to the list of "Listen to out of mild curiosity"

[@3rdmm]

Strawberries is a fantastic 80's album.

[@JseviaF]

Excellent choice!

[@RafaCarrillo]

The Damned is an amazing band, you won't regret it

[@ottocastillo8891]

Machine gun etiquette is great.

[@Einherjer895]

Damned Damned Damned is a trasure and arguably punk's best debut

[@johnklockyer]

Brilliant 😂

[@ericmalone3213]

Oy, painfully truncated! Captain Sensible begins to get down to work at midnight and the video ends! Hopefully Mr Fripp will write his memoirs in as many volumes as J.G. Bennett's The Dramatic Universe.

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

Yes, true. The Damned were Pink Floyd fans and Johnny Lydon of the Sex Pistols loved Van der Graaf Generator. Most people don't realise this

[@grahambrooks7521]

The song "Nadir's Big Chance" was Hammill's harbinger of punk.

[@twistedspanner]

Most people don't know that John Lydon loved Captain Beefheart too. Where do you think he got the line 'Japan is a dishpan' on the Pistols song 'New York'. A lot of people know that The Damned wanted Syd Barrett to produce their second album but it's been said The Pistols also wanted Syd to produce NMTB. Probably Lydon or McLaren?

[@twistedspanner]

@@grahambrooks7521 classic song and album.

[@ScreamerTheMemer]

I see why they had a stand named after them

[@violentmorgan]

More! MORE!! 😂

[@ditchgator1]

😃😂👍❤🖖

[@worldnotworld]

Well??? And then wha happened?!

[@kellywann3794]

Who is cooler than Fripp?

[@luizantoniotorresalves6669]

O Punk com o Progressivo ...quem diria!!! Kkkk

[@gregoryg3256]

good story mr Fripp..I'm not a fan of the dammed..I didnt know any of this...

[@bencarter6702]

Hilarious.
