A Celebration of King Crimson Music and Much More...

remember when I mentioned something special
was being planned for our next tour?
well, here it is:

the Two Of A Perfect Trio tour.
the show will go like this:

stickmen (tony levin, markus rueter, and pat mastelotto)
will play a set of their music
then
the adrian belew power trio (me, julie slick, and tobias ralph)
will play a set of my music
then
tony, pat, and I will play a few crimson songs as a trio
then
both trios will take the stage for a glorious set of
king crimson music including pieces from the double trio era.
two drummers, two stick players, a bassist, and a guitarist, YOW!
what a sound that's gonna be.
the dates should be listed here soon.

2011 marks my (and tony's) 30-year anniversary
of being in king crimson, something I'm very proud of.
this once in a lifetime show is a perfect way to celebrate.

DON'T MISS THIS!

    Are there any chances of King Crimson coming to Argentina? o even to go out touring again?
    I apologize for my dirty spanglish, Adrian.
    Greetings from Buenos Aires!

    I saw the Power Trio in Bari, great evening, but I sadly missed Stickmen in Taranto past year.
    Now this tour promise to be even best, if possible, than a KC tour.
    We wait all of you for a massive tour in Italy!!!!!

    Adrian: Thrilling news! Bought my tix to Moogfest last night. ABP3, Stickmen, & a "Projekt?" And it's the last show of the tour, so far. I'm stoked. I must be living right for the gods to smile so broadly!!! I'm bringing my vinyl copy of Discipline for you and Tony to sign...

    That's great news, Adrian! Thank you for sharing the anticipation! Do you have any plans to extend this tour to Europe? Or do I have to make my way across the Atlantic? Best, Joerg

    Is the concert at the Three of a Perfect Pair Camp a warmup for this, or is that totally different? Very exciting in any event!

    Can't wait to see the sound check in Carrboro-fabulous idea -that will be a great time to work out LTIA parts 1 to 4. It was funny to see the post from vic Aus. I got a fake id card specifically to see adrian and the bears in bloomington (indiana) at jake's back in '86. Great show it was too.

    please please please bring this tour to europe.
    to be honest the crimson encore will be a bonus.stick men have never played in the uk (to my knowledge) and adrian's powwer trio have only played 2 gigs here so to see both bands together would be superb. could someone let me know if europe will happen? if not usa here i come.
