BEAT (Belew, Levin, Vai, Carey): "Sleepless" (King Crimson) (Sept 12, 2024; San Jose, CA) 1st show

[@Palindromeater]

Belew’s voice has lost absolutely NOTHING over the years.

[@dwightbroemanphotosandart]

Truth. I have followed, supported and attended many of his side projects including his power trio with Julie. His vocals here have lost no time since the 80's. He belew me away as I have not heard his as good as the olden days.

[@SurfaceAirBand]

It's interesting to see during the song sections Adrian is playing what was originally Fripp's part while singing with Vai playing what was originally Adrian's part.

[@PeterSokol-bl5vz]

Steve Vai is not the only guitarist who could possibly play Fripp parts like he said when he gave them his blessing….that would be Adrian Belew…..glad to be seeing them at the end of October…they will be in fighting shape.

[@markuskrauer1522]

For real?

[@lamecasuelas2]

Come over to the prog dance party! We have music in odd time signatures, alien a-go-go dancers and drinks from another dimension!

[@Jakeman90210]

I think this is awesome and I’m glad enough other people think it is awesome enough to come to buy tickets to make it a worthwhile venture for the band

[@asbury29]

Tony Levin is 78 … and hasn’t lost a damn step! 🎸🎸🎸

[@BillRayDrums]

You're the MVP for posting this

[@marcelbritsch5127]

omg, I love that Tony Levin is using his funk fingers... I hadn't realised he used them also with KC rather than just only with Peter Gabriel...

[@MrGrassysound]

He didn’t use them in the 80’s version of King Crimson, as they weren’t invented yet.

[@JeffCappelletti-e6l]

Steve is actually doing the synthesizer parts on his guitar. For the Beat tour Steve is using two different Roland guitar synthesizers. Ibanez made special guitars for Steve to use when using the guitar synthesizers

[@PaulPadoan]

Vai seems to have a good time standing in the background for once. Carey is emracing the style, Tony "everyoung" has lost nothing, and the ever smiling Belew, is he for real? The voice, after all the years, just keeps on deliver the goods. This is epic!

[@johnbarnas879]

We know about Steve, but Adrian has always made it look so easy that maybe he's under-appreciated?

[@KaijuInvadesNYC]

he's TOTALLY underappreciated, at least among the public. I believe musicians respect the hell out of him.

[@TheJasonJoslyn]

I'm a guitarist and musician and Adrian is the real deal. So skillful relaxed imaginative and creative. No wonder he is front and center on so many of my all time favorite albums.

[@Jamaramlolz]

@@KaijuInvadesNYC I sure do.

[@manningbartlett522]

Belew is unappreciated by the public probably, but he has been venerated in the guitar community for over 40 years. He is a totally unique voice and an extraordinary innovator. His avant-garde work with Laurie Anderson is probably the least well known but is well worth checking out.

[@jimlanpheer5281]

Not by me! I see Adrian every time he comes thru, he's just amazing. Wish i could have seen him with the Talking Heads, he MAKES the Remain in Light album.

[@jhardycarroll]

Funny how I still think of this as a new song. We listened to each one of the records so many times that when the next one came out we were over the moon. This takes me back to summer of 83 like nothing else.

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

What a concert and what a line up, we are so fortunate to see this " AMAZING" PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

[@pottedrodenttube]

Ye ol' Funk fingers

[@cfroh]

So excited to see THIS song. Used to blast that rollicking bass back in the day.

[@vasantiago3038]

. .this songʻ can make a grown man break out in tears. . I saw the original Discipline tour. .probably considered the best Crimso lineup. .

[@jimriz]

Man, thanks for sharing this! Looks and sounds great!

[@jorgepatriciorodriguez434]

Great Musicians live Forever!!!.

[@paradiddle16]

thanx for all those vids. It's awesome!

[@ue4058]

OMG. My favorite Crimson track from this period ... I can't even believe I'm hearing this 😲😎

[@antiv]

These vids make me so happy, thanks for posting! ❤

[@NyeGuy-yv2dv]

I get to see these guys in Eugene Oregon! Cant wait!

[@kman0146]

Wouldn't it be cool if they decided to create new music ?

[@jimthecraftyguitarist878]

Yes!!!

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

Absolutely 👍

[@dagsouleyedblue407]

I would guess it will be inevitable, between them playing together it should generate a million ideas

[@ivanhenriqueroberto1970]

No doubt about It. Talent and skillness at the top.

[@davemcelhinnie5790]

They certainly have a great chemistry together.

[@mauijaystar]

Adrian sounded fantastic. Those soaring notes! The venue was caught up hook/line/sinker by this point.

[@N1IA-4]

Looking forward to seeing them in Clearwater FL later this month.

[@gabriele8019]

Con questo tour l'aura di Vai viene fortemente ridimensionata dalla bravura di Belew....pazzesco cantare e suonare così le parti di Fripp

[@rockroll575]

Love that band , long live ❤

[@mindartis4081]

AWESOME

[@emilawad7074]

Thank you for posting!

[@tonyevans9999]

The Dance mix

[@jimelkins8697]

This is fantastic. I think if Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson ever decided to do anything that Danny Carey would be the best choice for a drummer. Just my opinion.

[@LennyGuitarNash]

I would loooove an entirely new band with these three. No one can be Neil, but Danny would be unreal on an album full of new material.

[@nickpruett8022]

Mangini for a Rush tour would be best. No disrespect to Carey in any way.

[@mixermixer5952]

100%!!!!

[@brutesquadbbq2268]

I think Tim Alexander would be the best choice personally

[@mojojojo445]

Gavin Harrison would be my choice…

[@longhorn2615]

Funk Fingers!

[@MrRicardobarata]

Wonderful😊😊😊

[@Sabzirou2]

I Cant believe listening this songs live again with this masters

[@robertnobody]

Awww hell ya...!!

[@ralflofstad]

Incredible!

[@janewells5970]

Great to see Adrian playing the Parker!

[@dheangelcaido]

Dream team! 4 genius and team players.

[@patrickrossier4688]

Sounds good .

[@bb-bblues]

nothing like it in the world ,, that frippish sound still gets me after 55 years of loving the KC style sound . Vai gets after it i must say. Cant blame RF for wanting to be home have you ever seen his beautiful wife

[@eb303b]

3:22 😲 Now I want a full album with just Tony & Danny. 😅

[@user-kc3kc9bu9i]

Goooose Bumping

[@jedzxor]

I can't believe he's playing this on funk fingers! He did it with digital delay back in the '80s. That's a commitment... because he can't stop!!!

[@marcelbritsch5127]

was just thinking the same. I always thought he had used funk fingers exclusively with Peter Gabriel.

[@michaelgonzales500]

My fave kc lineup!!!

[@musician069]

I wonder at some point will Fripp sit in on a night somewhere in the tour. Lucky fans at that show.

[@jeanvigo1367]

Arriving in Europe, in Poland.👍

[@Hierophant11]

Much as I may admire Carey’s drumming, his work really highlights how singular Bruford was. And how boring everyone sounds compared to him.

[@chrispile3878]

Danny actually ended up using some of Bill's old drums he'd gotten from Adrian. What's old is new, right?

[@rickschmiderer1380]

Interesting take

[@tren-della]

@@chrispile3878Danny owns Bill’s THRAK kit, he got it from Adrian who got it from a fan who won it in a contest. That’s not what he’s using here, though. He’s got a deal with another company.

[@PauloRoldan]

Yeah! Bill is truly one of a kind.

[@xprophet9]

@@rickschmiderer1380😂

[@antonarchusmaximus6583]

can someone tell me what brand of guitar Belew plays here? thanks.

[@Hierophant11]

Camera person finds Vai boring…

[@StephenDorocke]

Me too

[@chrispile3878]

That's because he's NOT the show - Adrian and Tony are the show.

[@robertjackson8246]

Smoking.

[@poissonpuerile8897]

So many big names, but this quite awful.
