How would you know? You've never had a lick by her.

But seriously, she is very talented to match the guitar loop with the chromatic riff. Nice job power trio!

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?

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 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.

Julie Slick is amazing. And Belew is... still.

"But Julie holy shit wow." If you're making tee shirts, I'll take an XL please.

Fantastic bass playing - Tony Levin on speed! And he was no slouch. Excellent stuff, glad to see Belew's still got it.

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 cannot say how much I love this, this is my favorite power trio!

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

Adrian, Jordan and Julie are my dream band. I mean, I can't believe how good it is.

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.

This remains one of my favorite AB lineups and pieces. Incredible. Absolute prog heaven.

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 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.

@@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?

Thanks Meinl for this brilliant record.👍

All three are superb with their instruments!

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 😂

Adrian mixing his Crimson and Zappa roots together on this one. Absolutely awesome.

So powerful in many levels 👏🏻 🙌 👌🏻 💪🏻

This is incredible, every one of them masters at their respective instruments.

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!!

Refreshing bass work by Julie Slick .

A Compleat original and yet all Adrian. A Polymath like no other!

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 !

Most refreshing thing I've heard in years

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. 😉

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!

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.

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.

Esse trio é um absurdo! 😮

Love Julie she is adorable and a great talented bassist my favorite in line with Tal wilkenfeld
