Do you know if he did > any CDs which embraced his new found > spirituality? What was the show like? Well, I seem to recall they did sell some CD's out front in the concert hall. It was held at the Tennessee Theatre, which is where Tori later did her Under the Pink concert in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was probably 1990, my sophomore or last part of my freshman year of college. I had some friends who were evangelical Baptists and they invited me to a concert with an awesome guitar player. I recall that the lead singer of the band was a guy named Marlon LeFevre, and Adrian Belew with a big name featured on stage. They did a cover of "Shower the People," by James Taylor. That's the only song I recognized. The other songs were typical Christian rock. They did have an 'altar call' (without the altar) during intermission, and I went with my friends to a little break-out group upstairs in the balcony. Kids were getting saved by the dozens. That's about all I remember. It's been a long time ago. And I try to block out all things evangelical Christian. hehe Jen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The signing is at 6:00, but I'm sure I have to be there much earlier... Any information would help and be greatly appreciated... : ) Thank you, - -Theresa ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 09:46:03 +0000 From: "Johnny Endicott" Subject: When Pianos Try To Be Guitars...

That (1990) was DIRECTLY in between the first time I saw Adrian with King Crimson (1982? 1984?) and the last time (1996?) and I never heard A SINGLE WORD about it! He is such an amazing person. The kind of person you would love to go for a hike with and eat mushrooms and hide a tape recorder in your pack. You have really filled in one of the blanks (that I didn't even know existed) in my Adrian Belew fandom. THANK YOU!!! On a slightly related note, there has been a lot of discussion about "Mac Aladdin" (the "guitarist on the recent Tori stuff"), and whether it is someone playing keyboards that sound like guitar, or computer stuff, or whatever. One time I saw Adrian Belew play his Strat guitar and it sounded EXACTLY like a piano. Not a crappy little electric piano either. A Bosey. In a KC concert. Food for thought.

A bit (ok, a lot) of googling has lead me to a Mac Aladdin -ish program online but it seems mostly concerned with file compression: http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/documentation/mac/aladdin.html no mention of simulated fretwork. It's the muffled-squeak of the fingers on a fretboard of an acoustic guitar that we can hear so clearly on Peter Pan and Toast that give it an authenticity I find it hard to believe could be digital. But then, I was gobsmacked when I saw Spark played live for the first time and realised the opening guitar solo was on a keyboard, so I'm easily lead (and that was 7 years ago so technology has probably moved on....) Will people soon be lurking outside Tori shows wearing "I'M Mac Aladdin" T-shirts, perhaps? :-) Pete x change, my dear ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V10 #61 *************************************
