The more I look at it - I like it!

I saw King Crimson earlier this month, and I was surprised that they
had included this song in the set (and it was not until they came to
the vocal part that I recognised). The reason I was surprised is that
when I saw them about two years ago, they had material from all over
the place, except for the Discipline era.
