	IMO, contrary to the comment below from Elephant Talk, 
	it sounds to me that the snippet of In The Court Of The 
	Crimson King was planned.  Fripp sort of changes his playing 
	after the chorus leading into this segment, as well as 
	Bruford's playing seems to follow Wetton too well.  They 
	also segue back into the regular song too smooothly for it to 
	have been a surprise to the others.  Again, just IMO.  Whatever 
	way it was, it totally makes the song and the audience picks 
	up on it and voices their appreciation.  Unfortunately, it is so 
	brief.  They should have inserted much more of the song before 
	sequeing back into Easy Money.  That would have been great.  
	I don't think they ever did this again.


From a comment I read on Elephant Talk, which is what caused me
to go after this show:

	John Wetton interjected a stanza from "In The Court" during 
	the closing instrumental section of "Easy Money", earning 
	him a taciturn stare from one Robert Fripp and looks of 
	amazement from Bruford and Cross....
	truly a hilarious and unique moment
