I think he's doing a great job of honoring Robert's parts - let's be honest, a _way_ different guitarist and performer - while still putting his own spin on it. I can't wait to see these guys live in November!
Everyone keeps asking about fripp and bruford, guys bruford retired and fripp probably won't play crimson ever again, he himself said that playing any crimson piece requires months of preparation and is an Olympic challenge and he's just too old for doing tours. The fact that we got beat at all is a great deal since king crimson was already going silent, remember that this might be one of the last times we listen to live crimson
I'm just glad Fripp is still playing at least. He's gigging with his wife, and he's having fun. Apparently Bruford has dusted off his drums and is back in action to some degree as well doing some local jazz gigs.
I'd love to see Fripp try his hand at composing and find some unknowns who want to master the material Sort of like the Philip Glass Ensemble or Steve Reich' ensemble, people who will dedicate themselves to a unique composition language He should get that guy el Estepario to play drums. He's super limb independent so each limb could phrase with a guitarist. Four guitars, a singing bassist, Fripp doing soundbeds under it all, and el Estepario crushing everything with sticks and beaters. Sounds nice to me
Belew mentioned during his interview with Rick Beato that he approached Fripp about the Beat tour. He wasn't interested for a number of reasons but gave his blessings
I watched the beato interview yeah the other guys said heck no fripp hasn’t played live in a decade Vai and Carrey have both said how influential king crimson have been to them and were honored to get the call, pretty cool they’re doing it with their blessing.
True. Saw him in concert many years ago, and noticed that his solos never goes the way we expect. It’s not that kind of shredding we often hear, where the licks are practiced at home for hours. And sounds just like practicing scales. Vai’s playing is unpredictable.
Thanks for taking this and sharing it. I was at this show a couple of nights ago. And it was great and great to see and hear again in this high quality.
Super fun! Looking forward to following the progress of this tour. I hope there will be a Premier Guitar Rigg Review at some stage. The range of gear here is so interesting.
I'm Bassist. I was working as seaman for long I have known King Crimson . I investigate of all of you.. Steve, Adrián. We're with my Master Mr Frank Zappa.. My to Danny.. and special menssion to Mr TONY LEVIN .. I'm Peruvian Bass I play Funk Fingers..... Long Live Mr TONY...... 🎶🎵🎩🎵🎶🇵🇪🎵🎶
Why does have to be an evil pact? Satan doesn't create, only destroys. If anything, he just takes good care of himself and plays shows and records albums non-stop.
Qué futuro tan maravilloso estamos viviendo los fans. En el que Steve Vai toca con integrantes legendarios de King Crimson y Joe Satriani toca con integrantes legendarios de Van Halen🤯🤯🤯🤯
3:46 - This sh!t is BEAUTIFUL. You know the best part? Danny Carey can't help but to BE Danny Carey. Bill Bruford went his merry way a long time ago (much respect, Sir!). I saw the THRAK tour twice in 1996. Once in Michigan, and then I moved to California and saw them again at the Greek in Berkeley. Amazing. The problem was that I didn't know anything about the Bay Area (I was in Chico), so I went there in shorts and flip flops. When the sun went down and the lights came up, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees and I thought I was going to freeze to death. We worked it out. I'm living in Wyoming now, and I'm killing myself because I won't be able to see this live. Thank God for RUclips. I had the same problem with Black Sabbath's last tour.
At first this performance brought a tear to my eye but by the end i was laughing. Such a crimson thing to do to mess with things and live in the moment!

Danny has more of a rock snare sound to Bruford’s jazzy timbre. But who cares? Danny is a wicked drummer and a great person. The sound here is muddy in the mid-range. But that’s just overload in the microphone
@@marlinhall8298 I know, but sometimes sounds really bad, too "midi" for these kind of music and tends to compress sound.. ok for rock tracks, terrible for track like Matte Kudasai..
@@marlinhall8298 Where do people get these goofy observations? Belew is there killing it, and some these goofballs out here are talking about, "it's not the right guitar"? What the h*ll does that even mean? Do people ever just listen to the what is going on? It's like some dude screaming in your ear at that show as you're trying to take it all in, deeply listening to what's going on before your eyes.
I think Fripp found the last Crimson USA tour fairly bruising , especially with Covid, insurance etc and he has spoken in the past of handing the baton to someone else. Many years ago he suggested Steve Hackett as a replacement because he'd been to the first KC gigs in London.
Love the song, glad you shared it, BUT... Leave the camera on the person with the solo. This sure isn't my favorite version, but hey, it's been 40 years and things (and personnel) change. I guess I'd be even MORE surprised if this version were identical to the original.
Bill Bruford is retired and Robert Fripp has other ventures. And if you've seen the documentary, you couldn't probably tell that Belew and Fripp would hesitate to work with eachother again.
Tony Levin is a treasure
Tony Levin rules! Just wish I reach my 78 birthday in that shape. There’s hope. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 41 and wish I could be in that shape now.
When Tony Levin grabs the Chapman Stick you know shit is about to get real
Steve handled his parts with mastery and flair. This is so much fun to watch!

Vai and Carrey have both said how influential king crimson have been to them and were honored to get the call, pretty cool they’re doing it with their blessing.
This is one of my favorite songs! The lyrics will always be important, but…they are only talk!
It's cool to have a little "Vai spin" thrown into the mix.
To me it makes this more enjoyable to listen to.
GOD BLESS STEVE VAI. The only guy alive to pull this off the proper way. I'm sure Robert Fripp is smiling happily.
The songs on this tour just get tighter and tighter. Glad to see Danny having the time of his life with these legends.
I believe with all my heart these guys are a gift from heaven. So incredible. Same age as me in there 70s still got it big time.
An Immense Pleasure to see these Heavyweights Still in Action 😎
Whole lotta love love Belew. Come to Brasil again!!!;😊
Vai’s solo was freakin’ amazing!!🤘😎👍

It does not get any better. and cooler than this. This is wot music s about.

I love this band! Steve Vai has never sounded better. This stuff is so much fun. A real joy.
Well, this is the best band in the world at the moment...
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamned fast
Never did win no checkered flags
But he never did come in last 🫢
Pretty good. Best of the posted videos of the tour so far for me.
Agreed -- the cover was based on what the original did, but the players all did interesting new things, too.
Recorded underwater?
The twang bar king returns
To destroy darkness and misunderstanding
To reveal light and joy
The kings return 🔥🎼🔥
Love it Steve, Adrian, Tony and Danny. There is *so much* talent on that stage!
...what a constellation of super talented and passionate musicians on the same stage !!
Cant wait to see them in Orlando in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!
This is the man who inspired Les Claypool 😮
Wasn't that Geddy Lee?
Yes and yes to both
Yes, this reminds me of Primus too.
@@flamu9183Roger Waters, Lee and Levin… oh and Stanley Clark
Les was actually in attendance at the Napa show
Love that song , good to see both together again !!
Saw them in the 80’s twice and again last night 10/23/24. Blessed.
The boldest bassbeast ever shredded this planet! ♨️
This makes me very glad my seats will be close to Tony's side of the stage.
I just saw Beat in FL yesterday. AMAZING. The Indiscipline ver. was incredible.
Wow, Steve Vai is frickin killing it on this tour!
This is awesome
The opening guitar thing he’s playing reminds me
Of the opening beat for crowbar-what a feeling
Seen them last night, it was absolutely mind blowing 🤯
I'm Bassist. I was working as seaman for long I have known King Crimson . I investigate of all of you.. Steve, Adrián. We're with my Master Mr Frank Zappa.. My to Danny.. and special menssion to Mr TONY LEVIN .. I'm Peruvian Bass I play Funk Fingers..... Long Live Mr TONY...... 🎶🎵🎩🎵🎶🇵🇪🎵🎶
It takes me back to Jr high and the opening to FM TV. Before MTv. That bass was the theme song.
分かりやすい！
Awesome. Hoping they are coming to the UK soon. Belew/Crimson was a major influence on our music. (Chris, The Perrinormal)
Tony has made a pact with the devil. All hail the low end emperor
Why does have to be an evil pact? Satan doesn't create, only destroys. If anything, he just takes good care of himself and plays shows and records albums non-stop.

Dcfitz thanks this one is my favorite.
Nice camera work. Thanks!
Perfect
Beast mode.
I always liked the lyrics..
It'll only get tighter. But that's just talk.
I hope they to Europe. That would an experience... Quite far from the original but very cool anyway.
Holy moly does this ever sound like Primus or Primus Sounds like this!❤
Discipline predated them
@@applejacks175thanks this is fabulous❤
Tony Levin is cool no matter how old he gets.
Tony, we need some phaser on that Stick 😮
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope you are filming these concerts in their entirety so people can buy a concert version.
Talk me elephant, looking for Mr Fripp, but don't talk all the dreams. Tell me elephant your elephant talk.(from Jujuy,Argentina)
You can tell Tony's having a ball with this
well now we know how Les Claypool came up with "Jerry was a Race Car Driver"
I can hear similarities to Jerry was a raxe car driver by:Primus....
У меня зазвонил телефон.

Can't decide if I am watching Belew, Knopfler or Portillo.....
This has a Primus vibe to it.
Well, Elephant Talk came out in 1981 and Primus started up in 1984, so the vibe is the other way around...
@@cmbnz it still remains of Primus
It's the way the other way around..., like a mfka. Don't ever get it twisted.
@@skineyemin4276 I didn’t say anything about with one came first. I’ll I am saying is it has a similar sound?
For sure. I am fairly certain this song inspired Jerry Was a Race Car Driver. Also, Les covers Thela Hun Ginjeet a lot with his side projects
This song gave Primus the roadmap…
Its Robert Fripp.
😅
He's definitely a tripp.
Who needs Bruford??
Danny has more of a rock snare sound to Bruford’s jazzy timbre. But who cares? Danny is a wicked drummer and a great person. The sound here is muddy in the mid-range. But that’s just overload in the microphone
I do. Bonzo, Bernie, Brain, Bruford, Peart and Carey...
Bruford is a legend and the original.
Who is Robert Tripp?????
I only see four musicians here
It is the spirit of Robert and bill bruford.
Fripp ..not Tripp 🤣🤣🤣💆🤷
@@MrJackrockerman Indeed. And he is not on stage
@@exeuropean ...and whoeverthefuck is generating clicks
Adrian gtr needs to be lttl louder
By the way I'm 74
Love the Parker with the Power Trio, but it's not the right Guitar to me, for this music..
Somehow, it is the right guitar for Adrian.
@@marlinhall8298 I know, but sometimes sounds really bad, too "midi" for these kind of music and tends to compress sound.. ok for rock tracks, terrible for track like Matte Kudasai..

rager
Why Vai? Was there a falling out with Fripp?
Robert didn’t want to do it but gave Adrian his blessing to forge ahead.
I think Fripp found the last Crimson USA tour fairly bruising , especially with Covid, insurance etc and he has spoken in the past of handing the baton to someone else. Many years ago he suggested Steve Hackett as a replacement because he'd been to the first KC gigs in London.
Greg's correct. Fripp was completely on board with Adrian running with this project; he even suggested the name BEAT.
Vai is working hard.....this is serious🎵🎶🎵🎶
Fripp couldn't do it because Toyah is doing Strictly....
Love the song, glad you shared it, BUT... Leave the camera on the person with the solo. This sure isn't my favorite version, but hey, it's been 40 years and things (and personnel) change. I guess I'd be even MORE surprised if this version were identical to the original.
I completely disagree with you.
Post your own video if u don't like it.
Fairly sure Bill Bruford and "Robert Tripp" aren't going to be there.
Bill Bruford is retired and Robert Fripp has other ventures. And if you've seen the documentary, you couldn't probably tell that Belew and Fripp would hesitate to work with eachother again.
Part of me thinks this whole thing is somewhat corny…..don’t know why
The longer I live the more Adrian’s vocals merge with David Byrne
ok, ok...
