Interesting about that. The Winer's bass player at the time was Steve Lang who'd moved on from my band, Devotion, brought Schizoid Man with him -- one of our staples when we were still doing covers. Miles Goodwin thought Steve knew the entire lick in the middle. He only knew the bass part. Our sax player, Simon Stone went over to their rehearsal hall in Montreal and taught it to them. They did play it rather well, though, didn't they? Jerry Mercer, the drummer, was a huge fan of King Crimson.
Too bad they didn't want a keyboard player. I would have been happy to do the gig. Oh well...
