Easily the biggest show in recent memory at the nine. Adrian was in great form blowing through some originals. Worked into "E" from his new Power Trio recording. Described his custom rig that has the sound of "26 stringed instruments programmed in." Switched on the sitar button and launched in to an unbelievable version of the Beatles "Within You and Without You." Belew explained that some very recent technological audio advances have now enabled him to play some songs that have been pinging in his head for years. Belew was "discovered" by Frank Zappa, played with Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson, The Bears, PowerTrio, and extensive solo recording. Truly a treat in such a small space. I have no pictures or video, but Adrian says he was recording so keep eyes peeled for the availability of the Beatles cover. I do have a video in my head of Pat trying to wrangle pizza with Belew after the show, priceless.
