BEAT Immortalize King Crimson’s 80s Legacy with Epic ‘BEAT LIVE’ Release

Legendary King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin joined forces with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey to create BEAT, a creative reinterpretation of three iconic 80s King Crimson albums: ‘Discipline,’ ‘Beat,’ and ‘Three Of A Perfect Pair.’ Following 65 standing room only North American shows in 2024 and an expansive Mexico and South America run in 2025, the ensemble releases ‘BEAT LIVE’ out now in three configurations. The collection includes a 3-LP set, a Blu-ray with 2-CDs and 12-page photo booklet, plus a limited collector’s edition containing the Blu-ray, 2-CDs, bonus CD, and 36-page artbook. Belew notes that Robert Fripp once observed the King Crimson quartet was perhaps the best live band in the world during the eighties. Steve Vai calls “Frame By Frame” a miraculous piece of music containing unique death-defying poly-metric guitar parts. Tour Producer Angelo Bundini recalls focusing on these albums because they mark when Adrian and Tony’s fluid virtuosity and Fripp and Bruford’s dramatic precision created a totally unique dynamic.
