The algorithm just delivered this piece of music to me. Way cool. All three musicians are exceptional. The piece is wicked angular and radical. Off road, as it were. What’s not to love?
Holy krap! Every thing played by all of them is bloody insane and perfect! When it comes to prog that isn't dressed up metal, rock, or blues, Adrian has been bringing it for decades.
I love how Adrian uses a folding chair for the intro and then when the loop is recorded he quickly discards the chair. Lots of us practice things sitting down that become awkward when we try them standing up. Adrian knows himself well enough to have a chair handy. I love it.
The key to on time playing Stability, and the standard stage stance for loops of one foot hovering over the loop switch is Def Not Stable - it’s just Smart imo
@@shaft9000 Adrian Belew's always been "that guy who does the sound effects with his guitar." I trust him to use that computer as a library of sounds, not a crutch.
As a longtime Crimson fan, I think Belew is the heir apparent to Fripps' throne - the mad looping and some of his solos are influenced by Fripp, yet they move beyond due to his own style - I wonder perhaps if that is why there no longer was room in KC for Adrian after so many years, two very large talents (Jakko is no threat) - such a great trio BTW, always amazing to see how much he loves music
@@GCKelloch I can imagine that to be the case, live - AB is the opposite end of the spectrum from Fripp. He is all energy and smiles and Fripp is stock still and intensely focused - that tension did create some amazing music though
Robert didn’t want a frontman, and that’s what Adrian does. The last rendition of Crimson was more like a chamber orchestra. There’s still a little bad blood over it.
Damn I didn't know his age; would have guessed 10 years younger, and it is very hopeful that he still sounds so amazing at that age, for those of us contemplating what's ahead if we reach that age; I've had the pleasure of seeing multiple virtuosi over 70, and obviously it's possible to lose some speed and flexibility, but it's not inevitable, or at least it might take a while!
I know many of you are creaming your jeans over Belew, and rightfully so. But oh man, the rhythm section is so great, especially the drums. Fantastic drumming. Listen again and really focus on the drums and the bass.
3 seriously proficient musicians having fun with complexity and delivering quality. Rare these days. I think this might be the first new music video in 2023 I have actually watched from beginning to end.
Saw that song performed in ‘19. Chicago Old Town School of Folk Music. An amazing gig with an amazing talent line-up starting and ending with the Master of Disaster, Mr. Belew. Got to speak with him post-show. Reminded him he looks upon the Slick kids, Julie and Eric, with reverence just like Bowie looked at him On Stage famously on a live version of Stay when Adrian just blows the world away with his innovative style and energy. Adrian Belew is one of fusion/acid rock’s and musical geniuses in all of Music History.
Just FYI, it is incredibly difficult to perform live using loops/prerecorded tracks. The slightest little screwup can mess up the whole song and Adrian seems to do it with ease. Band follows well too. I have a pretty busy KC schedule for this year, just saw Tony 2 nights ago (playing to a crowd of 30 people... 😞), Adrian in August, and Stick Men in October.
😍 i love what they create as a trio. It's all about the arrangement. The bassist took over the guitar iine at the end 5:57 and the guitar laid on some chords. Lovely. Wonderful sounds. Impressed, Inspired. I rarely listen to instrumental bands. I'm sold,
@@Glornt There is a history there you may not be fully aware of. I haven't heard 100% of the story, but what I heard was the '80's KC (the greatest, IMHO) was becoming dominated by Adrian, and moving away from Fripp's overbearing influence, and the other players, who also knew Fripp might replace them any moment, wanted Adrian to displace and replace Fripp, which Fripp started to sense, and dissolved that version of KC more or less. Adrian was invited back to the later incarnation, but more on a part time basis. Anyone have more to add to that?
@@latkagravas2967 That doesn't sound like what Belew said recently while talking about the upcoming "Beat" tour. Check out Rick Beato's interview with the whole band.
O M G!!! I didn't want this to end!! I loved Adrian playing with his recording the riff and using it as a soundscape on 2 outer space looking guitars and then playing the melody over them! The bassist and drummer provided the perfect canvas for Adrian to paint his unique style on it and the stop and go precision was so good, it was like hanging off a cliff's edge. Blew has really come into his own now, and I like him even more now because he's bald like me!! LOL 😂
Awesome!!!! So glad youtube randomly gave me this! Dig the use of the looper. Thats how I jam. I have a drum emulator and a pitch shifter for bass, and loop several dubs and solo all over it. I love that synth sound on the guitar, the bass is insane and the drums wow just solid talent. The only other trio I seen make this much noise is Primus!!
Holy shit, what a tremendous jam, I love this song. Julie's bass tone is mucho killer to go with her chops, same with Jordan and what needs to be said about Adrian?? Happy 27th (dyslexic) Birthday, that's what !
I bought and played these "burnt crown" Meinl cymbals while in Germany in 1986. I left Germany in 1988 and wanted to buy more but could not find them in the US at that time. They were great cymbals then, and I would guess they are even better know. What impressed me about them was the clarity live and especially on recordings. The high overtones are there, but don't quite overtake the fundamentals. Also, the sound was very consistent...that is, more tolerant of slight variations in striking force. This gave the feel of having better control of the cymbal sound. Assuming they sound as good as the ones then (and from this video, they sure sound it), I highly recommend them.
It's been a while since a bassist has given me goosebumps but holy hell, Julie's playing here is just beyond. The precision, attitude, and aggression. Her tone is just unreal. The other guys were pretty good too. 😉
This is ACTUALLY a power trio, wow! I never knew before about Julie or Jordan, but they build and insane rhythm section. Adrian Belew... what can you say. I saw him playing with the Talking Heads back in '83 or something... Blew my mind. And with King Crimson... I remember that "elephant sound" he made... Far out, man. I need to update myself with this guy.
Catched Adrian Belew Power Trio with fantastic Tobias Ralph on drums in Helsingborg Sweden in 2017. It was their last gig on the European tour that year. Was at the venue early and heard some familiar music going; it was ABPT at soundcheck. Stood there in aw and they performed bits of the repertoir; no complaints or asked to get out. Then at the gig Julie had some trouble with a pedal not working and Adrian just played some cool stuff and they soon got on with the gig again. The whole thing stayed in my mind; it went something special for me.
Love this! Could watch AB play guitar all day long! Would love to see this trio with Elmo and Curt Kirkwood jamming!! #nolyricsneeded Thank you for sharing this incredible passion with all of us. ❤️🙏
I love artists, who enjoy themselves while playing on stage, and Adrian is definitely one of them... P.S.: Didn't he say that he will make an album in the style of Beatles... still waiting for that one...
Major respect to Adrian Belew for continuing to push the envelope
Adrians enjoyment of the music. That’s what I remember of seeing KC In 1981. He was loving it. Even a broken string - He just stood there laughing.
You see the same thing with some pro athletes too. Some of them get so happy every time they score, Alex Ovechkin for example.
He had a string break in a middle of a number when I saw him in February, and he kept going! And he had a huge smile the whole time!
He's ALWAYS showing 100% positivity. It's inspiring to see him enjoying the whole experience of music. All smiles, all the time.
Same thing for me... I once saw him showing the same kind of bliss during a show with Bowie...
Contrasted with Fripps broken animatronics they were a stellar duo on stage.
Just discovered these guys tonight April 10, 2023............the dispensary I was at had this video playing. AWESOME !
You should explore some King Crimson during his tenure with the band.
Julie's bass work is INSANE. Love it!
Absolutely!!!!!
She’s so fucking good!
Clicked to see Adrian. Blown away by Julie *and* Jordan. Few machines run this smoothly!
@@alexplorer That rhythm section is amazing... they put the _Power_ in the Adrian Belew Power Trio.
Holy fuck
Jordan’s drum work is INSANE. Love it!
Came here to say this! Wowza!
Hell of a rhythm section...fantastic!
That drum kit has a whole natural sound., just the best, and tuned perfectly, I like it!
The algorithm just delivered this piece of music to me. Way cool. All three musicians are exceptional. The piece is wicked angular and radical. Off road, as it were. What’s not to love?
very cool and Adrian Belew always looks like he's having the greatest time.... wow the bass.... cool to hear.
This remains one of my favorite AB lineups and pieces. Incredible. Absolute prog heaven.
But seriously, she is very talented to match the guitar loop with the chromatic riff. Nice job power trio!
There’s no wrong notes in a chromatic scale. Love this energy!
Julie's licks are insane!
the lady doth shred
How would you know? You've never had a lick by her.
Holy krap! Every thing played by all of them is bloody insane and perfect! When it comes to prog that isn't dressed up metal, rock, or blues, Adrian has been bringing it for decades.
That was fucking awesome. With a bit of crim tucked in there for good measure. Three monsters, singing as one. So tight.
I love how Adrian uses a folding chair for the intro and then when the loop is recorded he quickly discards the chair. Lots of us practice things sitting down that become awkward when we try them standing up. Adrian knows himself well enough to have a chair handy. I love it.
The key to on time playing Stability, and the standard stage stance for loops of one foot hovering over the loop switch is Def Not Stable - it’s just Smart imo
I'd rather the computers never made it onto the stage at all.
Tons of tech, for so little story - and story is _always_ king.
@@shaft9000 Adrian Belew's always been "that guy who does the sound effects with his guitar." I trust him to use that computer as a library of sounds, not a crutch.
He just wanted the chair to get that Robert Fripp PoV
I was gonna go smoke weed while this played but instead I just sat here and watched it. The Adrian Belew Power Trio is winning the war on drugs.
Saw KC in Philadelphia on the Discipline tour. Five hard partying sailors smoked exactly one doobie the whole show...
I was gonna smoke some more weed, but got distracted looking at the comments, and forgot ... thanks for reminding me a year ago !!
I didn't know Maeby played bass like a BEAST.
I never heard of her but yes, beast mode! Drummer also.
Hollywood Exec at a very young age, she can do everything she sets her mind to!
Julie Slick is all of your favorite bass players on god mode.
And Ian Hecox ripping it on drums
She does all can you imagine no missing nothing of levin or gunn
Fantastic bass playing - Tony Levin on speed! And he was no slouch.
Excellent stuff, glad to see Belew's still got it.
You say "was" but he's still going strong!
this is as good as anything on those 3 classic 80s crimson albums. Adrian Belew has some amazing songs in him
I just discovered the bassist yesterday. What a monster player! She is just going OFF in this song. I'd love to learn it, hopefully someday.
We can expect something off the chain from Adrian but holy crap, my jaw literally fell open watching her show that bass who's boss.
Absolutely amazing musicians being....absolutely amazing. So glad this popped up randomly as a suggested video.
There ain't nobody else like Adrian Belew. He exists in his own category.......... and always has. I'm going to have to look deeper into this project.
As a longtime Crimson fan, I think Belew is the heir apparent to Fripps' throne - the mad looping and some of his solos are influenced by Fripp, yet they move beyond due to his own style - I wonder perhaps if that is why there no longer was room in KC for Adrian after so many years, two very large talents (Jakko is no threat) - such a great trio BTW, always amazing to see how much he loves music
Belew said playing Fripps music gave him anxiety. I can understand that. Fripp is great, but that KC was too rigid.
@@GCKelloch I can imagine that to be the case, live - AB is the opposite end of the spectrum from Fripp. He is all energy and smiles and Fripp is stock still and intensely focused - that tension did create some amazing music though
Robert didn’t want a frontman, and that’s what Adrian does. The last rendition of Crimson was more like a chamber orchestra. There’s still a little bad blood over it.
Anyone has listened to David Torn?
AB is fucking 70 in this video. Let that sink in. He's got more chops and charisma than a 20 year old.
Damn I didn't know his age; would have guessed 10 years younger, and it is very hopeful that he still sounds so amazing at that age, for those of us contemplating what's ahead if we reach that age; I've had the pleasure of seeing multiple virtuosi over 70, and obviously it's possible to lose some speed and flexibility, but it's not inevitable, or at least it might take a while!
Almost, this was uploaded November of 2019, and he was born on December 23 1949. He was still 69ing it at this point.
@@illegitimatefilm lol. You're right, I take it all back.
Spry.
Fine Wine 🎸
Julie Slick is amazing. And Belew is... still.
Adrian, Jordan and Julie are my dream band. I mean, I can't believe how good it is.
I know many of you are creaming your jeans over Belew, and rightfully so. But oh man, the rhythm section is so great, especially the drums. Fantastic drumming. Listen again and really focus on the drums and the bass.
I saw Adrian with KC at the Anaheim House of Blues when the Power to Believe LP came out. Their sound and performance was near perfection. 😎
3 seriously proficient musicians having fun with complexity and delivering quality. Rare these days. I think this might be the first new music video in 2023 I have actually watched from beginning to end.
Sure, Adrian and Jordan can definitely play. But Julie holy shit wow
"But Julie holy shit wow." If you're making tee shirts, I'll take an XL please.
Adrian mixing his Crimson and Zappa roots together on this one. Absolutely awesome.
I like this sheet trio, wonderful playing
Loving the mixing on this video! Everything just pops off!
Look at the smiles and enjoyment on his face: marvellous !!!
I cannot say how much I love this, this is my favorite power trio!
I wouldn't say this is my kind of music, but I can 100% appreciate this mad science and I am here for it.
MAJOR props to these two for being chosen to keep up with the insanity of creative genius that is Mr. Badrian Alieuae
Great playing all around. And great integral use of looping by Ade.

if you havent seen him live you are missing out . seeing a belew show is tops and alot of that is julie she is amazing .
All three are superb with their instruments!
Adrian Belew is my favorite guitarist.. and what an amazing trio.
All the music on this page is incredible. Real happy that I found Meinl Cymbals!
Oh dear god. Yes. Brilliant musicians and the set and cinematography are excellent.

Tony? Tony Buck?
@@TheBlueskyson Tony Levin
cheers Nick
Adrian STILL screws that riff up from time to time. It’s almost become a running gag at shows. Will he make it through? Let’s watch and see!
@@cirdecsongs love that! ty
"I give it a 10 out of 10 because I like the lyrics and it's fun to dance to." Love it when it kicks into a KC vibe at 3:33
Totally! It reminds Indiscipline.
@@RaphaelBolivar It literally is the opening to the solo on Indiscipline (but in a different key)
@@DrTacoPHD665 Correct! Is one of my favorites KC songs, especially because Bruford's drumming
This Big Electric Kat needed this, now getoutmypagoda ....baybeeee!

Love Julie she is adorable and a great talented bassist my favorite in line with Tal wilkenfeld
This is signature Belew guitar! Would know it is him even if I'd never heard it before. What a band!
Sounds pretty Fripp-y to me. You'd think he's played with him or something.

Fantastic performance. Sick lines by Julie Slick, holy smokes!

Love the way he works in the solo from "Indiscipline"
I so dig Adrian Belew's work. He is the man !
Wow! Whole band is incredible
That bass player is something else. Adrian's pretty good too. :)
Julie Slick. Look her up!
Awesome!!!! So glad youtube randomly gave me this!
Dig the use of the looper.

Refreshing bass work by Julie Slick .
years of lovig you and your music . dear Adrian amazing Meinl Cymbals
came for belew, stuck around for julie slick - what a beast.
One thing for certain, anything with Adrian Belew is going to be interesting/compelling!
Absolutely fantastic. I will add those cymbals look lovely.
Holy shit, what a tremendous jam, I love this song. Julie's bass tone is mucho killer to go with her chops, same with Jordan and what needs to be said about Adrian?? Happy 27th (dyslexic) Birthday, that's what !
Killer rhythm section backing up Adrian's amazing riffing.

Absolutely in touch with everything that matters musically.
Thank you, Sir Adrian, for reminding me why I started playing guitar in the first place. I almost forgot for a moment there.
This is wonderful. Truly original & full of energy.
It's been a while since a bassist has given me goosebumps but holy hell, Julie's playing here is just beyond. The precision, attitude, and aggression. Her tone is just unreal. The other guys were pretty good too. 😉
I was not expecting so much bass shred. That was awesome
A Compleat original and yet all Adrian. A Polymath like no other!
Cant wait to hear Tony, Danny, Steve and Adrian sync up. The trio should open up every night though. Five hours of Adrian per night.!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I gotta see Mr Belew live! He is amazing
He was out behind his new album last year. He might go out again. He’s been doing most of his work lately with Jerry Harrison and Celebrating Bowie.
This just gets better and better for every time I listen to it.........
Nice Work.
Tight Trio.
Reminds me of Adrian Belew with King Crimson.

This is incredible, every one of them masters at their respective instruments.
From the first bass lick I knew what was up! Solid trio
This just Belew my mind!
I'll see myself out 😂
Yeah that was Slick!
Come back then walk away from me
He remains consistent.
Wow, some seriously top notch playing right here.

All 3 of them are amazing, really well done

It makes me happy that they seem to be enjoying each other as they play.
Still super interesting guitar playing, and what a fantastic bass! and drummer… kudos
Most refreshing thing I've heard in years
I love artists, who enjoy themselves while playing on stage, and Adrian is definitely one of them... P.S.: Didn't he say that he will make an album in the style of Beatles... still waiting for that one...
Musicians know what is going on around minute 4:55 - 5:07 then till 5:18 give or take a few seconds. Sweating all of that. Love it!
Wonderful trip and amazing individuals!
Absolutely Sickening ! Big Fan of Adrian and the trio Is Mad!! So Damn Good!
This is what brilliance sounds like.
Sweet Lord. I music was a game this piece would be the final boss. So good and so advanced. brainy but not pretentious. Incredible musicianship.
the band are great but Belew gives me shivers still and I'm 48, I feel like a kid eevery time listening to him.
Being a Zappa and Crimson alumni, it's very ok to feel like a kid listening to him. Glad he's still got it.
I saw him play with bowie back in the day..in La.. blew my mind..i still want a parker fly guitar till this day..
This track is INSANE. Love it!
Hey, I play a Parker too. Limited edition autumn burl. Only 25 made. I bet Adrian would like this guitar.
