Belew, Levin, Mastelotto & Friends - 8/12/22

Forums:

I was fortunate enough to catch these guys at Bearsville Theater in Woodstock NY. I'm always wary when a show is advertised '& Friends'. Usually it turns out to be someone who one way or the other detracts from the performance. Either there was no rehearsal or the guy just doesn't fit. This was WAY different. It turned out to be The Stick Men (Tony Levin,Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter) and The Belew Power Trio (Adrian Belew, Julie Slick and new drummer Johnnie Luca). Trey Gunn also sat in. A very similar line-up to The Crimson Projekct from 2012.

These guys came out with guns blazing, and did not disappoint. The quality of the musicianship was beyond reproach, and the audience, myself included, ate it up.

Done from memory, but I think I got it right.

Belew was all smiles, I don't think he's played with Levin on stage for a while. Everyone else was pretty happy too.

Too bad this was a one-off show.

 

 

 

 

Very nice. Thank you. Wish I was there. They should do a mini tour

I was there, too, Jerry. Fantastic performance!!! This traditionally has been a once a year thing, after their music camp in Hudson County.  But I agree with Seamonster, that with the retirement of King Crimson per Fripp's announcement in Japan, it would be great to see this band out Touring!!!

Hudson County or Hudson Valley?

Methinks the latter.

I haven't seen Belew in about 18 years.  And that was a School of Rock clinic.

I'll be at Belew in Homer tonight 

Homer Alaska?  Would like to live there.

 

No Homer NY ... small venue, 250 ish

Dream band and set,  hope they recorded it.

Oops,, wrong thread. 

I wuz there too and it was a hell of a show!

Posted above before I'd watched the vid marked as Discipline it is actually Thela hun Gungit

The vid labled Thela Hun Gunjit is actually "Indiscipline" (I repeat myself when under stress)
