Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey are BEAT!
Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey are ultra-marathoners. We can confirm this, as they have slated a tour by their new collaboration Beat with 65 dates in 90 days. This monumental tour will present the music of King Crimson’s albums Discipline (1981), Beat (1982), and Three of a Perfect Pair (1984).
Robert Fripp’s King Crimson released seven studio albums in the period from 1969 to 1974. In 1981, he decided to put together a different project (which would ultimately be called King Crimson), bringing drummer Bill Bruford back and enlisting bass player Tony Levin (Herbie Mann, Peter Gabriel) and guitarist Adrian Belew (Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads). That quartet was responsible for those three superb recordings.
Fast-forward 40 years, and Levin and Belew have recruited mind-boggling guitarist Steve Vai (Zappa, ) and outstanding drummer Danny Carey (Tool). This is the crew preparing for the ultra-marathon with the first starting gun September 12 at San Jose Civic. With 60 dates in the States and five more in Canada, you have plenty of opportunities to have them twist your head like a pretzel. We can’t wait!
Be sure to check out Tony Levin’s webpage for his Road Diary: The Beat Tour 2024. Levin toured earlier in the year with the outstanding group Stick Men.
And you look like you could use a good BEAT-ing!
