2024 Year in Review<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> Though King Crimson, the highly influential English progressive rock band, are spoken of in the past tense these days, founder Robert Fripp ended up giving his blessing to latter member Adrian Belew<\/a> for a semi-official celebration of his time in the band.<\/p>\n

Exploring the music heard on the group\u2019s \u201980s albums \u2013 namely Discipline, Beat <\/em>and Three of a Perfect Pair<\/em> \u2013 the Beat tour consists of Belew on vocals and guitar, joined by bassist Tony Levin (who played on those albums), Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first show of a tour can be like a gauntlet,\u201d Vai reflected on social media after the opening night. \u201cYou can rehearse until you\u2019re blue in the face, but once you hit the stage the lights go out and there\u2019s a live audience eager to be entertained, all bets are off.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the band delivered well and we were all relieved to get through a good first show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned; we might want to revisit this in a future interview\u2026<\/p>\n
