Watch Adrian Belew and Les Claypool tackle King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet live

When Adrian Belew and Talking Heads' Jerry Harrison wound up supporting Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, awesome things were bound to happen but who could have predicted this spellbinding live version of King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet?

The six-and-a-half-minute single originally appeared on 1981's Discipline, the first of three Crimson albums to feature the four-piece line-up of Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford. According to Belew's online blog , he came up with the title – an anagram of Heat In The Jungle – using Scrabble titles while on a flight to London. It's not the first time Claypool has covered the tune though, he's previously reworked it both at solo shows and with Claypool Lennon Delirium – his psychedelic project with Sean Lennon.
