If it performs as well as planned, LISA could provide tremendous information on physics and astronomy in the strong field regime of general relativity near black holes. X-ray astronomy has already provided us with tantalizing glimpses of phenomena occurring in the accretion flow onto compact objects in binary systems and active galactic nuclei. Iron K-alpha photons emitted by the accreting plasma provide direct evidence for relativistic motions and gravitational redshifts. In addition, there is evidence for the existence of the event horizon, as well as claims of general relativistic effects being responsible for certain classes of time variability. I review these exciting results, and compare and contrast them with the complimentary information which will be obtained by LISA.
