    Sheer insanity. I started applauding my computer screen when the song ended. Everyone gets 5 out of 5 stars, especially the gentleman doing the Belew part, for he really pulled the elephant out of those strings

    I've caught every KC tour since Nov.7th, 1969 at the Kinetic Playground, Chicago, IL,
    I caught the Discipline tour Nov.13 th '81 at the Agora in Atlanta driving from Orlando Fl
    This was the first tour after KC, (Fripp and Bruford) had taken a 7 year hiatus ...
    (7 hr drive after a 7 year wait :- )
    This past July, I caught their show once again in Atlanta, this time only a 3 hour drive
    from where I've retired in N Carolina. Sadly I believe this will be Crimson's last tour.
    Elephant Talk a famously difficult piece from a band famously fond of difficult pieces.
    Congrats YOU ALL NAILED IT ! !!! !

Very well done gentlemen! Bravo and thank you for keeping this alive to younger generations. I'm sure KC is honored to be grouped with Primus and Tool.

    Greetings from Denmark, here. (I don't know if that's important... Just want you guys to know that you have caused global joy with this one. If you are in doubt.) Fantastic job. We were so happy over here when Crimson reincarnated, and this cover emits such warm vibrations. The athmosphere around it - the garden, soft rainy weather, around 30 people in the audience, the playfulness, incredible sound - is so cool. Perfect frame for super musicianship, thank you.

    This turned into a very pleasant surprise. The lead guitar was maybe a tiny tiny bit off near the beginning, but came good and then some. The bass was spot on, but it was the vocal that really surprised me. Such a clean and clear vocal. I would love to hear him sing some other stuff.

If you guys were playing in a venue full of folks in the know, they'd still be clapping. You guys didn't play an homage to King Crimson, you nailed Elephant Talk. BRAVO!!!!! Buy your sound man a beer, the snare was perfect, the mix was on the same level as the musicianship. Completely blown away ( drummer of 40 years and Crimson fanatic)
