Belew is my favorite KC member ever. Not because of something specific, it's not about talent (they all have an excessive amount of it) it's a matter of feeling. He makes my heart smile with his voice and guitar (how cheesy that sounded 🤣). Besides, live his energy is incredible, don't know how to explain it ❤️
Dania Carolina VA You explained it perfectly. Adrian has great technique, talent, showmanship and he makes you feel something when he plays. The best music you feel in your heart and that's how I feel too!!
The Metropole Orchrestra's guitarist (who I want to name, but can't seem to identify online) should be getting more screen time love here - he's doing a bang-up job of playing the Fripp parts.
Despite some people nitpicking, yes we can and should appreciate him because the editor/director sure didn't. He's on screen for literally 2 seconds. 😕
Have you ever seen anyone so consistently happy to be playing music? It doesn't matter what setting or band, he's always up there smiling and enjoying himself. What a force
One of my big takeaways watching this video was respect that Adrian Belew can still sing this in tune in the original key! Those high notes are pretty out there, especially for a guy his age ...
I ran into Richard Hawley in a pub in Sheffield who told me he was also a fan. I must be one a few who saw Nick live as a support. Shuffling on painfully shy, extended retunings and seeming to look at his shoes - which was apparently because he used one Mike for guitar and voice. His sister actress Gabby Drake has been a stalwart supporter and the Proms just had an evening of his music. Genius and this is the pinnacle ofnit
Yeh - got a glimpse but deserved more. What a nerve wracker for everyone, especially Adrian; imagine hitting just one wrong note, off pitch vocal or missing a cue! Fabulous stuff.
There are people who, over the course of their entire life, never accumulate as much happiness in aggregate as Adrian Belew does every time he plays a single song.
Great comment! In addition to being one of the best musicians in the world, he also has this joy whenever he performs that is totally genuine and that just overflows. He may be the most fun musician in the world to watch play, because of this combination.
The level of musicianship in Metropole Orkest is just astounding. I love this and each gig they recorded, specially the one with Marcus Miller. Adrian Belew is at the top of his game, if he ever was anywhere but at this level. His voice is just perfect and what he's done with KC and Frank Zappa puts him along with the best of the best !
It's fantastic!!!!!! I've always loved driving to this song, after I recorded their album to cassette. I used to watch Adrian's band, The Bears at Shipley's, in Cincinnati. He was with one other person, and a reel to reel recording of drums! He grew up one neighborhood away from me.
It’s really a testament to how good Adrian Belew really is; having to play these odd meter passages and SING something totally different is a rare skill. Been a fan since the Lone Rhino! ❤
I remember seeing Adrian in 1981'ish in Iowa City. He had recorded drums and bass which I thought would suck but he just blew everyone away. Incredible talent.
What an incredible voice and talent! Adrian also comes from the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati, Ohio area that I grew up in. I used to see him and his band, the Bears at a bar called Shipley's in University Village, next to the Univ.of Cincinnati. I was underaged by 3 years but somehow always got in the door with a fake Motorcycle I.D. and was served alcoholic beverages! He was onstage with 2 other musicians and a reel-to-reel tape deck that played the drum tracks! That was long before Fripp hired him. I don't recall the whole timeline, but I think he had already recorded with Bowie. I also saw him at an outdoor festival on a race track in Toronto in the Summer of 1980, onstage and playing with the Talking Heads. Adrian is amazingly talented!
And his solo performance in London with K.Crimson, he and the acoustic guitar Tree is a nice pair. Fantastically unforgettable. I tried to play it, I've been playing guitar for 52 years and I succeeded but not as fast or as easily as Adrian. He is one of the greatest, even though a lot of r&r listeners don't even know who he is???
I agree about Adrian being my favorite KC member; he is so talented and he makes me happy with it. I had the privilege of meeting him once and it was such an important event for me; he was so nice and down to earth.
@@akaFrits1 Discipline is the eighth studio album by English progressive rock band King Crimson, released on 22 September 1981 by E.G. Records in the United Kingdom and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Ok, maybe I bought the cd after January 1982. Lol.
@@thisislogoutHehe, just a bit nitpicking, no problem mate. I bought the vinyl when it came out in ‘81 and the cd many years later. Still one of the most cherished KC albums for me.
Ones more fantastic performans by Adrian Belew! After Zappa, Bowie, a solo career and the always excellent King Crimson, Bears, a trio with two young musicians now with orchestra, it was their turn. Excellent performance (the guitarist in the orchestra is played by Robert Fripp's part well done)Great performance!
@@DavidRDavidRoss That in Talkin Heads the bassist that she asked to stay and replace D.B. as lead vocalist and guitarist but he refused. Better still, he is a man who needs at least three lives to fulfill all his dreams. From loners to super groups to a new solo career. Without him, the guitar world would be poorer, even though they don't mention it anywhere. He is not in the top 100, nor is Rewes and many other "experimental" guitarists.
Interesting - with this orchestral arrangement, the tune sounds like Seventies orchestrated CTI jazz, or James Bond thriller movie music. Which I never would have said of the original, but with the strings filling in and sustaining the harmonies, and the brass punches, and the vibes, and the bongos, Fripp's and Bruford's and Levin's roots in jazz become a lot more obvious. Belew's not so much - he's a huge Beatles nut - but by the time his contributions got added to by the others, they became transformed and quite different from what he might have first thought of.
My first exposure to Adrian Belew was when I was a teenager, and picked up King Crimson records, starting with "In the Court of the Crimson King" of course, but then proceeding up to Discipline and on. At first I didn't really get this music with the strange rhythms and melodic progressions, and picked out of a few songs I liked, avoiding the rest. Now in my 50s, I came across it again by chance, and in an instant, bought them again. Back then I was looking for more of the same kind of music I liked, and Adrian Belew's strange creations confused me, but now I have had a large amount of music for years, and enjoy discovering different things, exploring various directions. Hearing Discipline in this frame of my mind just blew me away, and I just love it, can't get enough. I will explore his other projects too, and see where that takes me.
That's fantastic! But read the thought bubble of trombonist behind him at 3:33: "6 years of Julliard and 45 years of shredding trombone etudes, and I'm stuck playing four notes behind this loud, bald nincompoop..."
I know! 'Til about 10 years ago, when I was 51, I had this weird view of professional musicians that allowed me to think that they were "gliding above" all of us; not having "our" every day struggle to cope with. Suddenly I started to get a different view and realizing what huge a work these musicians have to cope with on their way to perform their music. The tours and performing same songs over and over. My respect for these musicians grew on a whole different level and I realized I've been daft. That said, at this performance Adrian and the Orkestra is peaking again!
Some comments are rather crude. And undignified. What you just heard is very significant. Adrian is far beyond the rest of us. His work will be praised and preserved forever.
Years ago in Amsterdam there was this event. The week of the guitars. From what I remember Jan Akkerman, Andy Summers and many other famous players. They came to play and give seminars. Inc Mr Belew who was playing in the Melkweg. I was struck by his child like enthusiasm. It started off with some technical difficulties but Belew kept on smiling. After all this years still having fun, like a Child's first visit in a toy shop. He had a big flat stile-ich designed pedal board and on every one of these buttons there was something written. Sins I was in front I could read what the different effects were. One of them sad random. I guess he liked to surprise himself now and than. Could not get over the fact that after all these years in the music business he still had so much fun. I'm a big fan.
Hammer! Orchester!!!!!! Ich liebe alle die jemals bei kc gespielt haben... Er und bruford tänzeln beim spielen, lewin , keiner spielt eleganter den stick....fripp das meisterwerk! Cross, wetton......ale formationen liebe ich❤❤❤❤❤❤
Magnifikt!(Magnificent in Swedish). The sheer force of the orchestra makes the dynamics bigger. And the tabla-guy brings on new stuff into the already pretty crowded polyrhytmic:-)
I saw King Crimson in September 1982 in Dijon, France. I was just 20 yeras old, and at this concert, I was really stoned ! I knew the previous albums of KC but the new formation with Fripp, Belew, Levin and Bruford was probably the best line up ! And Belew CV is so impressive : Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson and so on !!!
How the Hell did you pull this off??? Genius!! Frank Zappa tried so hard to orchastrate his music but died before he could. RIP Frank. Sounds beautiful ❤️
Belew is my favorite KC member ever. Not because of something specific, it's not about talent (they all have an excessive amount of it) it's a matter of feeling. He makes my heart smile with his voice and guitar (how cheesy that sounded 🤣). Besides, live his energy is incredible, don't know how to explain it ❤️
Talent?? Discipline!!
Robert Fripp oh wow, are you the real Robert Fripp? What an honor, Mr Fripp. Would you like a cup of pure Colombian coffee?
Juan Valdez omg 🤣🤣🤣
@@prodevus Lmao
Dania Carolina VA You explained it perfectly. Adrian has great technique, talent, showmanship and he makes you feel something when he plays. The best music you feel in your heart and that's how I feel too!!
After 54 years on this orb, I have concluded that Belew is my favorite (multi) instrumentalist, song writer and vocalist. A real treasure.
Oh yes
Yee He’s a Masterpices 🎸🎤🌹🎼
A great man, artist .. unique
"One Time" is my favorite song.
Masterpiece
The Metropole Orchrestra's guitarist (who I want to name, but can't seem to identify online) should be getting more screen time love here - he's doing a bang-up job of playing the Fripp parts.
It's Peter Tiehuis. Great guitarist too!
@@vanpiekeren Agree, 100%!
Yup, that guy is doing a helluva job! A super guitar work horse for the Metropole Orkestra.
Amen to that. I don't think I have heard another guitar player come close before this performance.
Peter Tiehuis. Excellent musician.
Can we appreciate the second guitar playing Fripp's part flawlessly?
One of the most difficult guitar parts ever recorded!!!
You cannot be serious!?
Nobody can be Fripp, but everybody can be *better* than Fripp.
he was struggling. cant you hear?
Despite some people nitpicking, yes we can and should appreciate him because the editor/director sure didn't. He's on screen for literally 2 seconds. 😕
Have you ever seen anyone so consistently happy to be playing music? It doesn't matter what setting or band, he's always up there smiling and enjoying himself. What a force
I think the initial blast from the Orchestra blew him away. Yes, he was happy to hear that as I, myself, said Wow! out loud.
george duke was the same
One of my big takeaways watching this video was respect that Adrian Belew can still sing this in tune in the original key! Those high notes are pretty out there, especially for a guy his age ...
Such a pure voice. Kinda underrated as a singer.
@@PolyQuasi extremely underrated.
Verbatim !
I know right, impressive.
I've seen him numerous times in recent years. He's still solid
The look of "fuck yeah this absolutely SLAPS" on Belew's face when the band and orchestra come in is a thing of beauty.
Adrian is always smiling when his playing live concerts. Delightful to see!
That guy playing Double bass with Dark glasses...
We are all thankful he's got these dark glasses! Cool though!
He is cool as ice
In the credits I noticed that his name is Boudewijn Lucas. Also pretty cool. 😎
The subtle head nod

It is amazing that Adrian’s singing voice still commands so much attention. It sounds very good, much like it did 30 years ago.
Adrian stands alone in total genius. He has amazing depth and passion for life and music. Not many people open their hearts that wide.
All it misses is someone to do Tony Levin's backing vocals.
No kidding. All these musicians and nobody can sing back-up.
Hello, Mr Creamer
@@claudiaghidella2255 The Big Coomer
Neil Creamer Absolutely: my weird brain tends to try to fill in the missing background vocals!!!
Sing it yourself!
too bad we don't get to see the poor guy playing (perfecly) Fripp's part!
I agree, he nailed it quite well
there's a glimpse of him at 2:49
Peter Tiehuis, not your average guitar player...
Yeh - got a glimpse but deserved more. What a nerve wracker for everyone, especially Adrian; imagine hitting just one wrong note, off pitch vocal or missing a cue! Fabulous stuff.
You can see him in this video: ruclips.net/video/YBltVdhfNX0/видео.html
I met Adrian in the 90’s. He signed my telecaster. Very humble guy.

Hi kobian friend
Andrew Fosters Mission en Afrique
Underated massively...
This is my favorite version of Frame by Frame, it sounds so big and diverse because of the orchestra.
Terrible audio mixing though, the orchestra just drowns the second guitar playing the fast arpeggio riff
The older I get, the more influential this man seems to become in my musical spectrum.
Beautiful!! Great beat, Guitar work, Bass outstanding Tone, Great lyric! Overall wonderful uniqueness!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats guys!! Truly worth the wait!👍👍👍
4:25 And there HE is, R Fripp himself on the violin.
good call
Not only fripp, pat is at 3:40
Is that really him?
Ah! You noticed him too, eh? Nice...
really great ! And I'm happy to have news from Adrian Belew...
Fripp said about Belew : we are a big family
I'd LOVE to see them play together again.
Someday

Adrian with an orchestra! So glad I saw this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The complexity of King Crimson's music definitely lends itself to an orchestra !!!###
Adrian, a true master.
Every time I hear this I have to stand up, Superman style, and sing along, playing ALL the air instruments.
I am a hero.
I love the pure joy on Belew's face whenever he's performing.
Adrian Belew, just magical. ❤❤❤
I just can't get enough of his playing and thought processes...he's almost alien...a huge comment!
Wauw! This is sooo good! One of my favourite KC songs from a masterpiece album. Great orchestra! Excellent playing! Stunning.
And his solo performance in London with K.Crimson, he and the acoustic guitar Tree is a nice pair. Fantastically unforgettable. I tried to play it, I've been playing guitar for 52 years and I succeeded but not as fast or as easily as Adrian.

On top of just a full true love for all his influence , happiness just overwhelm 's xo my brother!
I would have never thought of this song with an orchestra, but it's really good.
I agree about Adrian being my favorite KC member; he is so talented and he makes me happy with it. I had the privilege of meeting him once and it was such an important event for me; he was so nice and down to earth.
Who knew Demetri Martin was such a good conductor!
I still have the King Crimson 'Discipline' cd from 1981 when I was 18 yrs old. Love every song on that album.

I was there ! Brilliant !!! Amsterdam, Paradiso
A world class event all the way. Strong emotions felt here.
straordinario omaggio a un grande chitarrista ....
Love this. The look on Belew's face is the response to the giant metronome playing behind him.
Adrian such clearly signs that it could be seemed like it is even studio playback. Impressive one
In my own analysis...........beautiful.
Excellent interprétation. Merci de partager!
I listen to this at least a couple times a week. It’s so awesome. Never gets old. It’s only talk!!
close enough. :) amazing performance. who can pick like that AND sing?????
Some comments are rather crude. And undignified. What you just heard is very significant. Adrian is far beyond the rest of us. His work will be praised and preserved forever.
What's a beautiful gig!!! Wow, such an interesting and powerful sound! Adore Belew, must to see the whole concert!
Blew my mind.. Astounding
Kudos to the unnamed guitar player who absolutely NAILS the Fripp arpeggio.
Peter Tiehuis. Great dutch guitarist.
I thought it was a sample. damn good, they never focus on him on this video
master of the masters...!!!

Inc Mr Belew who was playing in the Melkweg. I was struck by his child like enthusiasm. It started off with some technical difficulties but Belew kept on smiling. After all this years still having fun, like a Child's first visit in a toy shop. He had a big flat stile-ich designed pedal board and on every one of these buttons there was something written.

detail side note ... I love the conterbass guy with the sunglasses ... epic
I do believe this is my personal fav version of this song, just brilliant!
This dude kills. He's your favorite musicians favorite musician.
Great stuff!
Aw man they should have had some of those horns do the "sun aaaand moooon..." background vocals!
