If four geniuses like Zappa, Fripp, Bowie and Byrne have asked you to play with them, you must be something of a genius yourself...

[@Blue-nn1oh]

+jesus poo Correct. Adrian Belew is an absolute master.

[@MajickPalindrome]

+jesus poo Its a shame, these days Adrian Belew seems to not be up to much... King Crimson is working on an album without him, however; Robert Fripp seems to reinvent King Crimson every so many decades.

[@zachjohnson2833]

+MajickPalindrome He's touring with his Power Trio, has an app out, and is working on a new album. I highly suggest his latest album, 'E'.

[@martianshoes]

+MajickPalindrome I am given to understand that Belew underwent a religious conversion a while back and it changed his perspective. He has not been preachy or practicing conspicuous consumption....so ...more power to him.

[@joefry22]

And regardless of who he's playing with, he always looks like he's loving life and just having a BLAST up there on stage. It's inspiring to watch.

[@wesleyjohnson6330]

I love how DB just sits back and proudly watches his band.

[@seanbush5056]

Even as a kid, sort of got the impression that Bowie had a rare humility about him & his obvious fame. Seems like he was a very sharing musician. As a musician myself, that's the best thing in the world, playing with & sharing music with others instead of fighting against them for the spotlight. Bowie was one of a kind.

In no more than five years , 1976-1981, Adrian Belew played and toured with Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads and King Crimson. Hahaha, amazing! The most original guitarist of his generation.

[@gianca60]

Yep and I saw him at the time performing with King Crimson and talking heads. Very good memories.

[@jamesmicucci7028]

Buru Soila A couple of years later (1983, I believe), I saw Ade live @ Toad's Place in New Haven (same year Fripp did a combination seminar/Frippertronics show there). I remember hearing "Big Electric Cat", "The Lone Rhino", "Adidas In Heat", a Beatles cover, & some Crimson tune(s) Adrian wrote; "Heartbeat" was definitely one of them. Great show. He also played a show there with The Bears (guys he was in a previous band with, I think), as well as with Crimson on the "Discipline" & "Beat" promotional tours. Those KC shows were mind blowing; two shows in one night the first time (3/3/82) from about 15 feet away, with another show the following night.

[@joshuacaceres5753]

You should give a listen to Luis Alberto Spinetta from Argentina

[@CitroenCX]

Great version. I've been a Belew fan for a long, long time - back to when he played with Zappa. I got to spend quite a bit of time with him in London in the early-2000s when King Crimson were signed to the label I worked for. I was their 'label guy'. What a thrill for me and I'm happy to report he was a good-humoured gent. Fripp (with whom I've also been obsessed since the 70s) turned up to the hotel suite where we were doing interviews and was hilarious and weird in equal measure. What a day!

[@WhatEver-wr7gp]

Even Bowie, a genius himself, had to step aside to watch the magic of Belew.

[@mikeymumblesreal]

What Ever I think he was hoping they'd get that timing right. Both guitar and bass were off time but Bowie being a pro, just smiled.

[@rachelporter267]

Agreed - a guitar genius that just makes everyone he plays with seem even better. I loved that oh too brief combo of Fripp, Belew , Levin and Bruford in King Crimson. He also transformed a Talking Heads performance into something way beyond the band themselves could produce.

[@tvirgo7501]

This is the best version of Stay I've come across. I love this song! What a gift. What a life. What a genius.

[@skierpage]

I think the lead guitar is funkier and more in time on Live Nassau Coliseum 76 ("Stacy Hendon" not Earl Slick?) but Belew is goofily inventive here.

[@Blue-nn1oh]

Adrian Belew is a guitar god. Bowie seems to attract them.

[@infowazz]

+Blue belew is an artist

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

[@kinseymilkbone]

+Blue One of my great disappointments is that Bowie never worked with Richard Thompson. Bowie always brought out the best in his guitarists, and RT always plays best in a format he's not totally comfortable with.

[@mikeymumblesreal]

[@0rganfarmer]

It remains consistent

[@leebatt7964]

The thing about Belew that sets him apart is he makes all his little tricks actually work musically rather than just throwing them in to show off. The talent on that stage was immense. Bowie had an ear like no other.

Just only recently found out Belew worked with Bowie?! A weird blind spot considering I've been a big fan of Adrian since 1983. I knew he played with King Crimson, Talking Heads and Zappa since that time. Not sure how I missed that considering I was a big Bowie fan from day one (the other guitarist here onstage Carlos Alomar I knew about as early as 1981). Lodger being one of very few Bowie albums I did not hear back in the day may have had something to do with it I guess.

Look for Bowie on Adrian's 'Young Lions' solo album. He wrote Pretty Pink Rose and gave it to Belew. Nice gift...good album.

Check out the Bowie live album Stage, which mostly features Belew. He also played on the album The Lodger. Belew also toured with Bowie on the 1990 Sound+Vision tour, which was one of the greatest shows by anyone I've ever seen. There is a French TV bootleg of it around if you look hard. Belew had just released Young Lions, so they played the title song and "Pretty Pink Rose" during that show. I'm just impressed that Alomar seems happy standing the the back playing rhythm.

Oh man , Adrian Belew : one of the most original and inventive guitar players of all time . He takes every band to a higher level . No wonder Frank Zappa acted like a little child and was frustrated when Bowie asked Belew for his tour while Zappa just has ended his tour and didn't have performances in the time Bowie had his tour. So there wasn't a problem but never the less .......... It was the right decision of Belew while he knew Frank Zappa was against it. In the reactions of Zappa to Bowie Zappa acted like a narcist and Bowie stayed , as always a gentleman .
