Can you tell Fripp from Belew?

   I recall their work on Discipline being pretty distinct... 

In the 'Frame by Frame' intro Fripp is playing the speedy pentatonics and Belew the chords & screeches.   At 1:06 that's Fripp doing the arpeggiated open chords, but they do sometimes do unison, as well as play off each other.   Most of the wild sound effects ~ elephants, metallic scrapes, etc. ~ are Belew.

	As in their guitar parts of course. I'm sure some fans are obsessive enough to remember who played what riffs at what concert, but can you distinguish based purely on the playing? I'm curious who was playing what in Frame by Frame for example.
