I call it synchronized chaos.
I'm going to see Belew, Levin, Vai, & Carey performing the three albums of the Discipline era.
Bruford doesn't perform any longer, & Fripp didn't want to do a full tour. But, both of them fully endorse this effort.

One for the Chapman Stick fans. The link has gone bad, but the video, of a performance of "Elephant Talk," appears elsewhere in this thread.
