wow. incredible talent.

[HyoureiKyouran]

A God among men.

[SlipNFall2g1c]

How have I not heard of this guy before'?

[LeStraTele]

@SlipNFall2g1c - you need to see what he was doing with Talking Heads live Rome 1980

[TheAkwardsaw]

Claudio Sanchez brought me here.

[TheKerriangel]

adrian belew is the most!

[Mirabrother]

maravilha!

[tenuis70]

WOW that was a treat! and this song flashed me back to better days!

[Vaan618]

this guy is just so talented!! I love this song and I think I like this version the better. His guitar playing is kind of electronic and mystical. Adrien Belew is unique

[pacosuave64]

I could(and have) listen to this a 100 times over. AB finds a way to make the whole performance infectious. 10 years and 6000 miles removed and you can really still feel the energy in that place. It makes me giddy every time I hear/see it.

[ThEsOuNdSoLdIeR]

i just jizzed my pants...

[binky69]

this song is SOOOO fun to play. hard to sing and play at the same time though.. really hard

[villanitapunk]

Lo que màs me impresiona es que canta con una gran energìa... ¡¡¡asì se canta!!!

[gogitosbanditos]

this is magic. can watch it non-stop :D

[frankc32]

@gogitosbanditos, right? what is better?

Cheers!

FrankC32

[sterance1313]

God those patterns are so retardedly hard to play but so freaking awesome. Damn you and your win Fripp.

[ElianaSayen]

talented singer, guitar player & a complicated worded song ...

3 of a perfect pair :)

[ElianaSayen]

Lovely guitar playing!

[frankc32]

@whiterobin, love your reply, cheers!

@ corrda1993, MamaLaurie7, frogbrigade100 and triuman, love the reference!

AB kicks some ass!

Cheers!

FrankC32

[triuman]

Excellent

[frogbrigade100]

Adrian and his guitar -perfect pair!!!

[MamaLaurie7]

Acoustic god!!!

[corrda1993]

wow.

Now thats how an acoustic SHOULD be played.

[croon4u]

@frankc32

haha - it's life all over, isn't it?! but this performance and audience response makes up for all the mess!

[frankc32]

@croon4u, right on...

Cheers!

[frankc32]

she is susceptible, he is impossible, they have their cross to bear oh what a perfect mess, oh so many sympathetic tendencies, keeps it complicated, so aggravated,,,,

-FrankC32-

[lbjames909]

rocks

[then00best]

WOW, so many crimson fans. listen to them singing along

[frankc32]

very provincial, obviously...

FrankC32

[NEntv58]

I am new to AB. Tracked him over from Bowie, mostly curious about the mystique the gold plated reputation.

I have to say - what a wonderful piece of music. And the crowd - so supportive and completely in to it. Almost like you're intruding on a family reunion or something...

[frankc32]

briliant post, NEntv58, Belew fans can be vary provincial, exclusive d-bags, myself included.

Do not be discouraged by the vibe, all we can ask is a heart-felt committment to the music, which is really simple when you stop to consider.

Adrian does not ask much, which is perfect.

The answers lie within the music, anyway.

Best,

FrankC32

[vivelavidarocka]

Hey!! any newyorkers going tonight at B.B. King's to see him? Say hi if you see me...

[behm777]

Perfect!

[KyrionMyrthar]

I saw a few shows with the Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford lineup in the 80s and man, those shows were memorable.

[frankc32]

@KyrionMyrthar, tipping me cap to you, me friend. Belew is amazing in himself, then Levin, Fripp, and Bruford, how did you handle it without your head exploding, seriously?

Do you like YES, Steve Howe, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, et al?

FrankC32

[KyrionMyrthar]

Oh, those shows were amazing. One was a Fourth of July show....1984?... Fripp walks out on stage alone and begins that gamelin tape loop thing, and we realized he was playing the Star Spangled Banner in his own way. The Levin came out with the Stick and added to it, followed by Bruford. The Belew finished it by coming on with elephant sounds. It was beyond trippy.

And I do like YES as well. I prefer the classic 70s lineup, myself.

[frankc32]

@ KyrionMyrthar, right on, my friend!!!

ELEPHANT TALK!!!

FrankC32

[vivelavidarocka]

He's coming back to New York on the 28th to play in the cozyness of B.B. KIng's bar and grill. I'll be there...

[frankc32]

that's a mere cab ride away from some great steakhouses in the so-called "Theatre District"...

I have intel that indicates that AB is a vegtrn, like my folks, I totally tip my hat!!!

FrankC32

[osooso69]

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat1

[frankc32]

this guy, with Fripp, Levin, & Bruford, holy shit, best music ever!!!

FrankC32

[vivelavidarocka]

Wasn't that an "ALL STAR BAND" ? I was so lucky to have the chance to see them.

[frankc32]

seriously, MHO, anyone who ever saw Belew, let alone Belew w/Levin, Bruford, and Fripp, well, I tip my motherfucking hat to you.

Cheers!

Frank

[vivelavidarocka]

Thanks Frank. On the other hand, I am one of those who also got to see Genesis without Gabriel, Yes with Rabin and Floyd without Waters, But Hey! I have a few under my belt, Can't complaint. Cheers. Joseph...:7)

[frankc32]

Genesis WITH Gabriel would b more impressive. PCollins is a pop artist, nothing more, nothing less. Become pretty much an embarrassment....

Trevor Rabin, he's great at soundtracks and finger-work, but he cannot hold a candle to Mr. Steve Howe. Rabin, no personality whatsoever, fails to exist without a history from "90125", and Floyd without Waters, well , that's just fucking preposterous, as one simply does not exist without the other, plain and simple, end of story.

Cheers!

Frank

[frankc32]

this is BRILLIANT, period, end of story,

Frank

[crayhead]

massively cool and diverse musician...King Krimson ruled with him in it...

[StarlessBlack2007]

Holy Crap Dude.....more than deserving to share the stage with Robert Fripp.

[Sepherium]

Incredible... That's just incredible...

[ustednosabenada]

INCREIBLE!

BELEW ÍDOLO!

[ninjaspytv]

Belew is my hero.

[fndr100]

One of my favorite musicains.  He'e the shit!

[Kaffdawg77]

how does he play that part on guitar and sing at the same time!?!!?!?

[jacobestes]

He plays it instrumental the first time, then goes back in time and sings from the back somewhere.

[lnvisible]

Haha you should see Muhammed Suiçmez of Necrophagist ;)

[Zildjian232]

I would clapped in groups of 5 16th notes if i was in front.

[binky69]

@Zildjian232 its actually in 6/8

[matteodinca]

enorme. il più figo di tutti.

[toodlebug500]

wow

[hapaikan7]

my god! I still can´t believe the way he plays guitar!

and his voice pffff!!!!

he´s a prodigy

I absolutely love this live version!

[juanbrujox]

His voice comes from hell itself... With all respect Greg Lake deserves, Belew is mind-blower

[frankc32]

@juanbrujox, don't forget the classic rock n' roll voice, Mark Lanegan...

whether that voice comes from Heaven or Hell, or both, or neither, well, that's another discussion, for another time, one which I am not currently prepared to address.

Cheers!

[Chumleh]

This band is populated by genius.

Fripp is grunge, alternative, and ambient's eccentric great grandad, Belew is everyone favorite crazy uncle, Bruford is the best drummer alive, and Levin is just plain badass. (He played with Pink Floyd, Krim, Peter Gabriel, and Yes in the space of five years. Yah.)

[StructuralAmbient]

the best of the best of the best of the best

NO JODA..arrechisimo

ty for these jewel

[edgar587]

mio dio......inhuman...!!!

[memodeth]

The most brilliant guitar in the world

the voice awesome too!

His smile. I see him alive with his trio and was awesome, lovely and inspiration!

[michaeldayguitar]

This solo acoustic performance totally inspired me to cover this song, Adrian's voice is so wonderful, - and needless to say his writing inspires me as well....

If you like this tune, perhaps you may want to take a look...

[zahzuh]

is this a project 2 concert? I saw him do this with Fripp and Gunn in Somerville Ma, Adrian is great for real

[badger500]

Hey, I was there, too. This blew me away then! So nice to see it again.

[superjohn07]

No, it's a Krim concert. They Opened for Tool in England (I think that's where the concert was). It's also on the Eyes Wide Open DVD.

[pappaouzo]

It doesn't get better than this... absolutely awesome! Great audience too.

[Schraupe]

:-O SICK!!! I think I found a new god...

[glupia]

oh yes he is..

[Expertmental69]

I saw him in Sydney last last year. He played the songs perfectly and sang with usual strength of voice. If he just sang he'd be amazing but he's one of the best guitarists in the world too. (Certified Belew Geek)

[libraura]

Adrian Belew is AWESOME!!!! What a voice!!! Love him.

[TECALLAI]

this song is just too good

[jorgitostandup]

HERMOSO!!!

[manysons]

God, I miss King Crimson!

[pselodux]

amazing!

[slinkymcvelvet]

Stunning. The geeky audience makes me laugh. Although I was doing the same thing.

[pnegriazul85]

you desever to be a beatle

[kaisuis]

I saw him doing this in 2003 in Warsaw. Incredible experience!

[ShadowOfCoffee]

Охренительнейшая песня! Я в восторге!

[dohertykaki]

I think I saw this at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, few years back.:)

[3stringovation]

For anyone who ever thought he actually *needed* the Parker Fly ;-) here's where Adrian proves you wrong!

[Caroncacao]

canta y encanta...adorable

[RatmWoW]

This is song is orgasm of sound.

[guitarhawk96]

Yes. I just had an eargasm.

[dohertykaki]

[boogieMick]

[AcidCoffee]

Liquid Serotonine :)

[sirenbrian]

I *have* to learn to play this before I die! What a great musician!

[fed111r]

Uck fe ! man... rare to see live performances bettre than studio cuts... adrian is the man!

[scissorsman311]

No music of our age can compare to this. Talent is dead.

[TheRecluse26]

I would agree with a few exceptions.

[bamboszebabuni]

scissorsman311 - don't be stupid. talent isn't dead.

[InfernalApocalypse]

Something that isn't tangible at all, or even biological can't die. Your logic is totally flawed scissorman. You haven't been listening to talented musicians, and that's your own fault.

[Lejendary2]

lol nice attempt at sounding smart

[borzas]

Ade is Ade

[magnetikuz]

Ohh MF!!!

What a voice.. what a song.. what a guitar player!!

we are nothing!

[Vedder2112Man]
