Yes! And this no matter the emotion I might get from some of the harmonic places and expressive dynamics/timbre he's doing; I think that face was what I was going for when I got my first Strat at 12 yo and wailed away with my eyes shut. Great stuff from everyone there too!
I have seen people really talk smack about him, but usually that’s from cynical industry jerks who can’t stand a plain-spoken ‘regular guy’ who just happens to be a freaking genius on the level of Hendrix.
Holy crap! Adrian is the youngest 73 yr old (!) that I've ever seen. And still hitting the high notes singing! Plus, he's got Julie Slick in his band, good help from old friends.
I got to hang out with him a bit after a gig in Victoria in the mid 80s. I'm both surprised at how young he looks now and at the changes in how he looks. I had a hard time imagining him as a 'older' man.
Holy crap, I didn't know he was that old. He's hitting some really tough notes for that age. He's doing better than Sting, imo, and they're about the same age.
Adrian Belew is so underrated. Singer, guitarist, composer, sound tech engineer, and likely the most innovated guitarist of the 20th century. Also can play a plethora of instruments very well.
Belew is only underrated by those not knowing about him... Having been either in King Crimson or in Zappa's band is your diploma for being one of the very best musicians on the planet, and he was in both bands... The only thing that can go further is playing with Magma too
@@harounel-poussah6936 don't forget he was also Bowies guitarist in the late 70s and talking heads early 80s. He's still out there crushing, love his solo band.
seen adrian with zappa, the heads, his own band the bears and bowie. man this legacy is live on stage today and lookin and sounding better than ever. WOW BIG STAGE BIG SOUND!
@@pogsquatchhe quite literally was the director of the “Sound & Vision Tour”, so if that’s the tour you saw them on, well it was the case! Damnit what I’d have done to see that, or their first run together in the late 70s… I gotta see Belew live sometime before he’s gone.
You forgot to mention when you saw him with King Crimson, and with Adrian Belew Power Trio, and that time you ran into him in a men's room in Soho. 🤦🏾♂️
I call him a pioneer because right around that time the technology was taken a step forward also with Jeff Beck. To make a long story short I wished I had studied music harder and put the effort required.
Great to see Adrian still out there ripping it up and having fun doing it. And what a perfect tune for Les. Right up his alley. Awesome performance by all!
Adrian Belew was so far ahead of his time, he's always wound up as one of rock's most underappreciated guitarists. Check out some of his live videos touring with the Talking Heads in '80. He's tearing it up! And, of course, Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" guitar riff is his. Probably his most well-known piece of work, even if he's rarely given credit. Anyhow, looks like he's having a blast here and sounding great, as always.
You know he recorded a solo for Genius of Love, and they took it out??! Can't remember if it was the band or the producer's decision. But yeah, I cannot stop listening to the Talking Heads' 1980 tour, always keep coming back to it. So much enthusiasm and passion, not to mention the songs, and Belew's guitar just makes everything 10x better!
Don’t forget his awesome impression of Bob Dylan on Zappas “Flakes”. He sings most of those songs n that album as well as laying guitar with Frank. City of Tiny Lites!
@@randymarkley5634 thank you very much for that information. I know about the song fresh flakes. I didn't know Adrian was involved. Do you know about the King Kong album?
Nice to see Mr. Belew rocking with A Strat . Got Les Claypool with Julie Slick. Got to love it. Horns in All. Loved AD in Crimson. His Energy is infectious. So underrated. Great Talent.
loved him in Zappa and Talking Heads. City of Tiny Lights is one of my all time favorite Zappa songs and Remain in Light is THE best Talking Heads album, because of Adrian. His job in Zappa was to play guitar when Zappa sang and to sing when Zappa played guitar. He did both well. And in Talking Heads, Tina and Chris asked him to replace David Byrne! He refused.
I had the real privilege to see Adrian live with Talking Heads and Crimson in the early 80's in NYC and the things he did with a guitar were truly mind-bending. Here's a guy who throws all the rules out the window and reinvents the instrument. He and Les Claypool are a particularly great match! Saw Primus do the Rush - Farewell to Kings show last year and that was the coolest show I've seen in years.
I saw KC do Thela Hun Ginjeet back in 1981 when they had just gotten back together. I had front row center seats in a small indoor theater -- I still remember every note of that show. The song name is an anagram of 'heat in the jungle' which addresses street crime in NYC.
I just love how Adrian has so much damned fun when he plays! Feel very lucky to see KC with Adrian both at the beginning and the end of his time with the band.
I saw Belew with Zappa '77(?), when I was a high school kid. Then his name kept popping up over and over throughout the rest of the '70s & '80s: Bowie, Talking Heads, KC, Laurie Anderson (Sharkey's Night), Paul Simon, on and on.
A funny story that relates. One time some friends and I were listening to “Elephant Talk” and another friend walked in and asked us what Primus song we were listening to..
Adrian Belew has contributed to so much phenomenal music and performance art. I love seeing him out here having fun. He’s looking great, too!! You go!!
Hell yeah!!! great version of that song....I got to see Adrian with his trio back about 8 months ago in an old converted church in homer,n.y. ( performing arts center),they sounded so good in that place...I was literally 10 ft away from him just glued to his Parker and his hands.... probably my favorite concert I've ever seen and heard and there's been 100 s..thanx to whoever put this up.. pretty cool
@@miser42you realize les has been playing the song on tour when belew/harrison hasn’t been opening for them, right? and considering i saw the show four times, including this performance here… i can assure you he’s playing it.
I love this for so many reasons. One reason is that I was present in a Nashville club when Zappa came in to hear the band that included Belew. Baby Snakes came next. Discipline is a favorite album. Belew is such a nice guy and so incredibly talented.
I'm loving the guitarist in the back; she's having such a great time! And I'm sure they didn't just pick her off the street. It's so wonderful to see someone really enjoying & appreciating the moment they're in.
she plays the bass. (although I have seen solo stuff of here where she also plays guitar and all kinds of other electronic gizmos. Woman is a true talent )
I've been playing guitar for 45 years, so take my word for it, no one else can do what Adrian Belew does with a guitar. No one. That was just amazing, total control! subscribed!!
pretty sick aint it? and he has such a huge grin when he plays, he loves what he does, it comes through. nothing is worse than a bored musician (eh Jerry Harrison??)
You might need to fly to San Francisco to see Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew on December 30th, or Napa on New Year's Eve. Let me know - I'll meet you there!
Saw Adrian in a medium size Chicago club years ago. Fantastic performance, and he stayed and talked to everybody afterward, posing for pics. A perfect gentleman.
awesome to see these two awesome dudes on stage together, I've been blessed to see them both separately, but not together! Primus and King Crimson top bands ❤✌️
This is my maybe 5th liked rock video so far this year on you tube , I don't usually hit to many likes, I don't even know why I'm posting this anyway .....
His playing on ‘Remain in Light’ is just fantastic and adds such a major dimension to the album - there are some brilliant live videos of him playing with TH too.
Playing with Frank Zappa and Robert Fripp are honors will earned by Belew. I saw King Crimson live in 1995. A stellar group of musicians. Belew is also a great front man. His album "Big Electric Cat" is one of my favorite LP's.
Just came here to add among all the joy and smile Adrian Belew spreads through his music we must all bow to this mans prowess to tame the sound in the air. Listen to his fist solo! He's tonally all over the pallet and sticks (no pun intended) every f*()$#n landing. What a genius!
I've always thought that Primus owed a lot of its sound to KC, and Thela Hun Ginjeet in particular. I feel that way about the other stuff Les has done, too. So cool to see this.
and that's what was missing from the Fripps latest Crimson group.. I dunno how or why that was the move, but Adrians insane guitar chops are simply too integral to a large chunk of the catalogue
For the 70ies stuff I think it did not matter that much and the 90ies stuff I did not miss it. But it was kind of odd to have Indiscipline and Neurotica in the way they played it.
Nope - as RF said - "Young Ade got a bit too big for his boots" and he started to think of the band as his as much as Fripp's. The final straw was when he expected the other musicians in the current incarnation to be treated as salaried sidemen, rather than full partners. He's no loss.
There are essentially two very different incarnations/visions of King Crimson. Both have created amazing and wonderful music. I am grateful to have seen each of them live and enjoyed their many great recordings over the years. I get it that King Crimson is Robert Fripp's baby, but there is no denying that what Adrian Belew brought to the band was magic and helped to reinvigorate their sound at the time.
@@doctorp4237 It's hard to imagine a "too big for his boots" attitude when every single time I've seen him onstage, he's the most ego-less performer I've ever seen!
@julieslick is incredible in her own right... can absolutely hold her own with Les & Ade... she was a blast to see this summer at the Remain In Light show with AB & Jerry Harrison. Incredible talent, all of them!
@@christopherdaugherty9344 no way! Damn that’s awesome, so I’ve listened to that album before but didn’t know claypool and Carey were on it. I’m listening to those tracks right now and now I hear them completely. I always love the stuff claypool does with Tom waits too. But pretty much any claypool collab is awesome he bats at .1000%
After seeing (the new version of) King Crimson interviewed on Rick Beato yesterday, I'm stoked for the new music and tour that will come from the new formation. Thanks, Robert, for giving the band your blessing.
I love musicians who just get on and do it theor own way with the minimum of flash and fuss, and the maximum enjoyment and communication. That is what is happening here, and it's great.
Adrián Belew’s attitude with music is a never ending joy and smiles. God Bless Him
Who else could think of so many things to do with a stratocaster?
He's child like in his enthusiasm as always! Saw him play with Frank back in the day. One of the best IMHO.😊
Yes! And this no matter the emotion I might get from some of the harmonic places and expressive dynamics/timbre he's doing; I think that face was what I was going for when I got my first Strat at 12 yo and wailed away with my eyes shut.

He's tied with Russell Mael for youngest 73 year old out there!
I got to hang out with him a bit after a gig in Victoria in the mid 80s. I'm both surprised at how young he looks now and at the changes in how he looks. I had a hard time imagining him as a 'older' man.
Easy to do with money flowing freely! Unlike the VAST majority of us! What a CON job "entertainers" run on us! We are stupid!
Julie Slick is so good and her brothers awesome on drums. I guess hes not with this project. Just saw them a couple of weeks ago.
Holy crap, I didn't know he was that old. He's hitting some really tough notes for that age. He's doing better than Sting, imo, and they're about the same age.

Where was Steve Vai and Danny Cary during this concert tour??? Watching the iconic 1980s KC concert videos drumming and Robert Fripp solos??
In 1982 I bought Adrian Belew Lone Rhino- changed my life as a guitar player.
I call him a pioneer because right around that time the technology was taken a step forward also with Jeff Beck. To make a long story short I wished I had studied music harder and put the effort required.
I love watching Adrian perform. Every time, he looks like a little kid on his favorite roller coaster. Just sheer joy.
Great to see Adrian still out there ripping it up and having fun doing it. And what a perfect tune for Les. Right up his alley.
Awesome performance by all!
I agree. Here he was last Summer at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in Golden Gate Park. This was one great set. th-cam.com/video/m92CNXxG5xg/w-d-xo.html
Agree 100%
Julie Slick's doing the heavy lifting, though. Les is mostly just a spectator here.

I love musicians who just get on and do it theor own way with the minimum of flash and fuss, and the maximum enjoyment and communication. That is what is happening here, and it's great.
