ADRIAN BELEW POWER TRIO IS THE BEST LIVE BAND - and the pictures aren't bad, either
WOW-!!!---i take great pix-tures--don't i-? it's easy with this subject or these subjects--which are one in the same-or one being//entity--the ADRIAN BELEW POWER TRIO!!
for those following the guitar-god thingy i've been writing--this is a temporary but actually possibly a continuation---eh??
i was lucky enough last friday--to leave work-3.30pm--get to the home-grabbed my coat-grabbed my hat-sorry-sir paul- throw some cloth-ing in a satchel page--i grabbed--dashed to the patriot and drove on down south--(have to say that in the foghorn leghorn voice)---down past the masey-dix-on---line--to the home of (in the navy)---or as lt smash--said "yvan eht nioj"-------to annapolis jeeves---to THE RAMS HEAD--
as computer directions---no advertisements in this blog---usually get me close until the last minute when it all goes wrong -but seemingly always----at that moment the phone rings---"dad-are you almost here"?---
sorry julie--call you right back--so--i get straightened out--i'm a moment away---
"dad---adrian says-we're not going on til you are here"---and in the background---
"she's right gary"---familiar voice---that "elephant talk guy"----
oh i'm parking now---be right in----
right to green-room---hugs-hello's---"break a leg"---etc---
"hey we're gonna do--planet e---first time tonight"--just for you---
awwwwwwww--shucks--(thank ya jimi)-----
so i get seated---they do their--animalistic voodooo secret handshake is better than a kiss rituals--(partially seen in Hideyo's roadcam blogthing)(he's in cgt)----
and the show is going----on---
i kinda get setup-right behind eric--and bam-!!
what a show---i hadn't heard live the re-arranged sets
----broke in two parts--
usually--the new or jammy-xperimental----(an understatement)--first set----
wowie-zowie---wickey-woo-woo
break---second set another new one added-something changed----a little different towards the end------
but---i'll always be labeled being prejudiced--they are the BEST LIVE BAND out touring-----HANDS DOWN!!!
don't get me started-----ok---can't help this---totally amazing---!!
dot explanation point dot com----
so---as stated--they did **planet e** awww ahuh ahuh--FOR ME---according to my introduction---"to the man who spawned a new generation of rockers"----or somethin like that---and no---no relation that i know of to earl--------whew!---i"m better lookin--anyway---
the new songs--as always--the extended slightly different each night usuals----
my god, truly amazing trio of "power and terror"-thank ya robert
at this time---i want to thank all the old friends--new friends-i just met-people that
i spent this past weekend talking to--explaining--"the stories//legends"of my experiences-with ade--my children--etc---always a pleasure--
the management there--ram's head--really first class
lucky me--on to next gig------something--or somebody---bodies--are met--on way out of town---(please see robin's upcoming blogpost either today or tomorrow)"i thought you said--no advertise-mints---gary--?"
she's my wife--shut-up-
anywho--on to-----t-neck------home of many banks--snewjerseys----to a normally great place to gigg---mexi cali blues---
and its still a great venue--but check the weather channel--next time---not their fault but saturday was record like breaking HEAT----probably 120--degees onstage---their air--was severely over-worked---
bergen--school of rock opened--great "yes"---set---a couple kc---they did great
a buddy of mine --from work drove up from philly-with his ladyfriend-stayed same hotel
also---as far as I KNOW---stayed away from 420---------"not really a party---but some chab li---cheese---some crackers"---
anyways-----another fan---tastic show-----
and seriously i've seen tons of bands----right now----this is THE BEST--live band out now
if----i was a richma---oh stop-----if i wasn't related---i was justaguy---
aguywholoves proggyrock----intelligent rock----whatever class///hate that--
i would be screaming----eric you fff-n----rule!!!!----julie--you kickass-monster-chickbassplayer magazine-june issue-checkitout-along with who's the guitarplayer magazine-june issue also-riff section guy----atriumbelew--!
wow---again---
so again---wokeup got outta bed dragged acomb--brush really--on my head---
left--teaneck---had breakfast--we rated a 10----adrian's style potato's---really a good start------off to------THE CITY OF TROY, new york---you trojan---went thru one hell of a thunder-thunder-thundercats---thunderstorm to REVOLUTION HALL----a really super venue
eric's girlfriend in area--(so he's feeling good)--weather now better than recently--
and like i said really great place to play
some family--robin's nephew garrett-brosis in law and family from conn----there
good soundcheck=preshow meal---
good local opener----solo guy--later joined by aguy who could play lennon in RAIN---both good acoustic players--
here we go--another wonderful performance--stellar actually--
i'll ask this now-----adrian---"please-please---record futurevision-maybe for upcoming-cd"?with this trio--please buddy----i'm lucky--have heard the off the board-
version---------man---a great song done even HOTTER------MY GOODNESS---its good----
another hi--lite or two---besides the music---TROY-is a town that loves adrian--good fz base--and they love eric---know him from Project Object------but you shoulda heard the JULIE-JULIE-JULIE-chants.
ade gave me another great introduction-awww--he's such a nice guy-----
during a recess period i took--got to talk to some fans---there were some from northampton mass--burlington vt---wow----and a bunch had been "camping"like at some festival that was a "jamthing"*something---(sorry-lotta miles over weekend)---they had "prepped"--(their word)--by watching "rock school"--the documentary--and accompanying soundtrack---both that feature a youthful eric slick and julie slick---
so ----what a weekend---can't wait til the river cruise--ny---
lotsa great upcoming---f-o-c-k-(friends of crimson king)---stuff and more-----
so---sorry--i'll not keep you on pinsandneedles---about god-guitar people--4and5
stay tuned same bat-time---(oh you 60's people)---------
oh wait----lotsa people now making some comparisons----i've seen-----sounds like---
cream meets return to forever----he's moon-rich-baker-bruford-williams-like or
she's a woman--sorry paul--who plays like pastorius-bruce-ent-squire----
one thing i do know-----futurevision-futurevision-futurevision---and-------
I LOVE THIS POWER TRIO---that sounds like an orchestra---or a jazz trio--or a
----so---love peace------gary
