re: #158 stpaulbear

the first time I knew of Adrian Belew he was playing guitar on the Talking Heads’ Remain In Light tour. Saw them at the Northrop Auditorium on the U of M campus. I kept thinking “Where are those sounds coming from” until I finally realized it was Adrian, and then I couldn’t stop watching him. That tour was prime Talking Heads before it turned into the David Byrne show.

I got to see him solo (backed up, if I recall correctly, by his old band The Bears) in a small club (Jake’s) in Bloomington, IN in the early 1990s. He played several of the Lone Rhinoceros songs. It was amazing.
