Last week I was lucky to attend a concert by the Adrian Belew Power Trio. It was just great – and yesterday I’ve found the acoustic version of this King Crimson tune from 2000, and now I can’t get it out of my mind. Fantastic.
Three Of A Perfect Pair – Adrian Belew
Heh, I’m going to see the Power Trio next week! In fact, I have one spare ticket. I managed to get tickets for Jethro Tull as well, and I found out that they play on that very same evening x(.
However, I got myself a ticket for the 28th (Groningen), so if anyone is interested in seeing Adrian Belew for free (29th), be sure to let me know.
Hey!
This is Eric Slick. Thanks for posting such a lovely thing about us, and thanks for coming to our show!
Sincerely,
Eric
Spider fingers!
Hi Eric! Welcome here – it was a great show here in Budapest, since then I listen to the Side Four album. Thanks for the music! 🙂
(I was the guy who made the interview with Adrian in the hotel lobby.)
That was truly wonderful.
It also supports this little theory I have, whereby any tune which remains standing gloriously in a stripped down acoustic version, is proof of a really, really good tune. QED.
Oh, and hi Eric! It’s great to know you read up on KUR.
Adrian Belew is a national treasure.
Saw Belew two years ago in Sydney with a pick up band power trio. He was just jaw droppingly brilliant. You knew you were in the presence of someone with the music really in him. I imagine that feeling would have been what you got seeing someone like Hendrix or Miles.
He is trully a musical giant… seems like a really nice bloke too.

I have to second that. Outside of FZ, I’m not into guitar wankers at all. I can’t get through a Jeff Beck or a Vai album. But Adrian! Worlds apart. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the band.
