    What an incredible set! Talking Heads AND Adrian Belew, I mean, come on. Amazing stuff.. Belew's control, ingenuity, passion and energy makes me smile so much. What he does from 4:40 in Psycho Killer (but especially when he is close to the amp) is pure brilliance... but, the whole performance by everyone is just superb.

    David brought out the “rest” after that.
    So, I can say that I saw the original band!
    PS: Didn’t know that Belew was in the band then, and on the new album.

      Saw em in 1983, Top 5 concerts for me of all time! Maybe the Top 1. No Belew. The rest, the same lineup. 3rd row center at University of Kentucky’s original (small) basketball arena. About 3,500 in attendance. Side note: There was a bomb scare on campus that day, so they kept the house lights on the whole time. That made it safe, right? 😂

    Adrian Belew. Met him and the rest of King Crimson a couple of years later at the Hammersmith Palais. Top guy I must say. No rock star ego at all. Completely down to earth, easy to talk to, polite, modest and very funny.

The name of this event: Rock Pop in Concert. Talking heads were only the real impressive band at this evening. A beautyful remember. In May 2018 I‘ll go up to 63. At this event I was 25 years old. Great time!!
