Track:
King Crimson guitarist released his 5th solo album "Young Lions" in 1990. He had played on David Bowie's "Lodger" album, and would later act as musical director for Bowie's "Glass Spider" tour.

Adrian Belew was stunning on Sunday night. Packed into a tiny blues club with his array of sound effects and new power trio featuring a young brother-sister team from Philly, he made a helluva racket. Mostly solo material from his three recent CDs (I've only heard the first one and recognized a couple tracks) plus a few oldies (Lone Rhino, Big Electric Cat) I knew and the requisite Crimson tune...
