"Today I asked, again, for us to run Discipline - it’s pretty ironic that this is the piece I’ve been playing the longest time in King Crimson (Robert tells me we ran it in 1980 when I was asked to rehearse with the new lineup and possibly join the band.) I played it right that day(!) but now, 38 years later, it’s become more challenging for me!
Okay, partly because I’m evolving the ‘letter B’ section, and partly because the cues for many section changes are different than they used to be, and, yes, I have played it… less than perfectly… many times over those years. But still, I’m waiting for the night, coming soon, when I actually get it completely right, for the first time on this tour, and give a silent Yesss!"
