Live album from BEAT is out now

Legendary former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin banded together with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and explosive Tool drummer Danny Carey to create Beat, a creative reinterpretation of the three iconic 80s King Crimson albums – “Discipline”, “Beat”, and “Three Of A Perfect Pair.”

In 2024, the ensemble staged 65 standing room only shows in North America. They followed this touring with an expansive run of Mexico and South America in 2025. Today, they celebrate the release of “Beat Live” in cooperation with InsideOutMusic/Sony.

A first reveal has been presented of the performance of “Neal and Jack and Me.” Watch now here: https://youtu.be/ne5oN3ba–k?feature=shared

Adrian Belew reflects, “You’re walking on stage with three virtuoso musicians, world class professionals who have seen it all but are still having fun playing this music which is timeless and unlike anything done before or since and the audience knows every word and are so thrilled with the performance the energy and love beaming back at you is overwhelming. What could be better?”

Steve Vai shares, “Touring with Beat has proved to be so much more than I could have expected. Performing this music with Adrian, Tony and Danny has been one of my favorite touring experiences and we are now at the top of our game and captured the magic on Beat Live.”

Tony Levin offers, “The band rocks. So glad we got high quality recordings of what it is we do live – innovation meets classic material.”
