Adrian Announcement 2 (Live at The Spectrum, Montreal, Jul. 84)

[Adrian Belew]
And let me have just a moment more of your time here, thank you very much. This is the end of our tour, which began in Japan worked across the-uh... United States and up here to Montreal, and it's been a very good tour

You are probably aware that there takes a lot more people than just the four King Crimsonettes to uhh... put on a show like this, and we have a fabulous crew of people and we'd like to take a few moments to thank thеm because they'vе really been great

I'd like to even tell you who they are, the guys who take care of our guitars and sticks and guitar synthesizers and all those effects are Andy and Mark. Come out and say hi. Andy and Mark

Uhh... the man who takes care of our drums for us, our "battery" his name is Kiddo, are you around Kiddo? Yes, thank you very much, Kiddo

Our stage production manager, the guy who puts all this together, his name is Alan. Alan, where are you Alan? Oh, look at that belly button, folks. You won't see another like it

And in absenteeism, we'd like to thank Mal, who had to go home because his wife was not feeling well. Aww, well there's good and bad to everything, isn't it?

Out front there, our sound mixer is George. Also helped by Gus who is not present, I think, is that right? Gus is here? Oh, Steve is not here. Steve's here! I don't know who's here, I'm here. *laugh* But we'd like to thank George, Gus and Steve

Our lighting man is named Alan. Where are you Alan? Oh there you are. Thank you very much. Over here is Brendan our monitor mixer. Keeps us sounding right to ourselves, hopefully

And as I mentioned earlier, we are being recorded, our recording engineer is way back there in a cubbyhole, his name is Brad Davis. Hi, Brad!

I've only forgotten management. How can you forget management, we have two people who help us out a great deal. Paddy Spinks and Chris Kettle, from E G. I'm sure you've seen their mark on everything

Who've I forgotten, anyone? Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew. Anyone else?
