Prior to the seven-headed incarnation of the group the last time this number had appeared on a King Crimson setlist had been in 1971. The number has always held a special fascination for fans with its anthemic chorus and florid lyrics. This version of the 47 year old piece, originally written by Ian McDonald and Peter Sinfield, finds the band sounding very much more at home and with a greater degree of interpretation in the middle section from Mel Collins. Another special moment in a set already filled to the brim with them.
