>Well, I don`t know...Look carefully at the beginning of the song, when Pete
is spinning around wildly; he seems barely to be playing the guitar yet the
riffs are clean and in tune. Also, after the synth and drum solos at the
end, his acrobatics ( that phenomenal cross-stage leap - how his knees stood

miming it. I`m quite sure a lister has earlier given additional reasons for
this view, but I can`t recall who he was now. It was in the course of a
