First off, I wish to tell Adrian t...Hi, Scott here. First off, I wish to tell Adrian that his music has brought me (as well as my concert-going friend Marcus) much enjoyment thru the many years. Thanks much Adrian! Next, I need to give props to Julie and Eric as they are truly very talented young artists and it was a pleasure to watch them work their skills. I am sure they have a very bright future ahead. They all really appeared to be having a great time during the performance which was cool. Despite all of the talent and fun of the show, I would unfortunately rate the concert a 5/10. One of my problems with the show was that it was definetly way too loud. I actually had to hold my ears shut a few times. Marcus left with a headache and my ringing ears finally recovered by Sunday. We had purposely sat more towards the back of the venue to avoid speaker burn but after visiting near stage on a bathroom trip, I found that the only safe place was outside the speaker projection angle. There you could actually clearly hear Adrian's fretboard work because it wasn't struggling to get past all of the other noise. In all fairness, much of the "wall of noise" mentioned in Marcus' previous post might be attributed to the venue but I suspect a good portion of the problem was just the volume. When Belew wasn't shredding, or when he was just playing fill, it at times sounded like a band in a garage where the sound is all muddied...and they play too loud to really make out how much talent is really there. There were some wonderful shining moments at various times however which leads me to believe that the upcoming release by the Power Trio is gonna be worth picking up. I did like the guitar work on "E". I do not question the talent of these musicians, especially AB but shouldn't the talent be louder than the volume? One more thing, most of the crowd were anxious to here a King Crimson song and the band did manage to play Thela Hun Ginjeet for the encore. Most of the solo wasn't reminiscent of the original and ruined my nostalgia for the song. I myself was hoping to here a KC song...even as I walked out the door during the encore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-60715063581312149812009-04-21T19:13:00.000-05:002009-04-21T19:13:00.000-05:00My friend Scott and I saw the show at Shank Hall. ...My friend Scott and I saw the show at Shank Hall. He turned to me halfway thru the show and said: "Three quarters of this is garage band quality". Spot-on. Adrian's music these days is best described as "Wall Of Noise". There's no rhyme or reason that a person of Adrian's musical quality should play such uninspiring slop. Is he out of ideas? Adrian used to overcome me with joy. I'm sorry to be so critical, really, but there's a huge void there now. We both hated the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-55294010298324332512009-04-21T09:07:00.000-05:002009-04-21T09:07:00.000-05:00Went to the Shank Hall show in Milwaukee on the 17...Went to the Shank Hall show in Milwaukee on the 17th!<br />DAMN,what a band, and I was able to video record in it's entireity.<br />AMAZING, Thank you Adrian for signing all the LPs I brought in....ZOOLOOK never zooLOOKED so good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-72129256403074068762009-04-20T16:45:00.000-05:002009-04-20T16:45:00.000-05:00Saw the Chicago Show last night.
