They were awfully good, but wasn't happy with the soundman.
But, the live version of this song was excellent.

You can hear some early Crimson influence here along with the newer direction. I like it.

(76,222 posts)...Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, & Danny Carey doing the King Crimson songs from the Beat era albums.
Discipline, Beat, & Three Of A Perfect Pair.
The tour was named for the middle album.
Fripp & Bruford can't tour anymore (arthritis hot the best of them) so they got Vai & Carrey on guitar & drums.
As Adrian wrote most of those songs, Robert & Bill gave their seal of approval.
So, it was King Crimson without actually being King Crimson.
Vai used technical playing to substitute for Robert's Frippertronics. Carrey is a monster so he could do things like what Bruford could do.
If not for the iffy sound, it would have been fantastic.
