Not my call I read it but the all important timeline is correct so it must be true!
Although it was an old Invaders song it was on One Step Beyond that was released 19 October 1978 but the single was released on 21 December 1979. Ashes to Ashes was recorded in February 1980.
Yeah, but who really cares about drums?
Interestingly, Woody (who apart from Barson was the only muscisian in the band at that time) was told to stop drumming when they were recording OSB to leave space in the songs. Less is more.
Bowie once had a drummer named Woody.

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.
