The less played as extra layers to John's (single tracked) voice and Robert's guitar in this diamond track - the better. The utter beauty needs no extra ornaments - and here it shows, most perfectly.

Glad the song got to the KC 50 series, that just would not have been complete without "Book Of Saturday" - one of the Crimson's finest state-of-art moments ever.
