Belew at Living Room, Brisbane, Australia. Sat March 06 2006
Despite a relative lack of promotion Brisbane Crimheads and Guitar nerds
rocked up to Adrian Belew's makeshift Trio at the Living Room - a
recently reinhabited venue once known as the Milk Bar.
The crowd was a mix of bespectacled guys with their grey hair tied back
and Bose T-Shirts prominent and a few younger Tool type fans who'd come
along for the ride.
All were entertained by the man who I believe puts the FUN in King
Crimson. The Discipline of the Global Mobile was nowhere to be seen and
ripping version of 80s KC classics like Thela Hun Gunjeet and Elephant
Talk had the small (100+) but enthusiastic crowd literally baying for
more!
Al Slavik and Matt Finish were the perfect foils for Senior Belew and
the band totally shredded. Slavik in particular was a master of both
standard bass and what I was told is a stick although it look rather
more like a Warr Guitar than Levin's tool of low frequency destruction.
Now I'm not familiar with Belew's solo material but aside from a few
sections of soloing from all participants, which struck me as fan
service for the gear heads - lacking strong hooks for the aestheticists,
the entire performance was overwhelmingly gleeful and rocking!
Frame by Frame was in my mind the highlight with the obviously pumped
crowd filling in the vocal sections in mucho voce. They played for
around 90minutes and the crowd denied them a break before the encore
which could have been a good or bad thing - i'm not quite sure.
It seemed that Adrian was having a good time, picking up on the crowd's
enthusiasm and slying chastising them for the constant calls for Crimson
classics. No guitarist can make the sound of a car crash sound as
appealing as Belew and I have to say that I'm glad I saw this trio sans
the Discipline of the Global Mobile as we got to see close up one of
rock's most under-rated guitarists completely own the room in the most
elegantly demented fashion. The way he wrings every note like it's
nerves ripped from his flesh is really something to see. And he even
happily stayed to sign albums and pose for photos!
The best gig i've been to for years and entirely worth the time and
money to front up. I feel sad for those who didn't show - i'm gonna be
bragging about shaking the great mans' hands for years to come!
