In fact, his style of "dancing" on stage is quite funny. He's one of the guitar players who start jiggling their foot while playing a solo. Eric Clapton also "dances" like this. ;)

Nice to see CR getting this credit as 'dance pioneer' as I have always seen the Water Sign era, with its wonderful 12" mixes , as a neglected output from Chris, and something he is still really good at ,right up to Blue Cafe/Road to hell 2/King of the Beach. Even though he is now at his best (BLUE GUITARS) ,I would still be happy if he did more 'dance ' music
