never seen this before. the band's on fire - Adrian Belew comping Fripp's part perfectly, Dennis Davis is a monster on the drums. incredible performance.

gotta post this. Belew's no Bowie on vocals but he does fine. and Fripp does that guitar line so beautifully. if i heard a band play this this well in a club i'd melt into a puddle.
