Live From Los Angeles will premiere on November 10th at 8 pm PT
From the moment Beat went on sale, tickets flew out of box offices across North America. With that reception, the tour producers and band members broadened the itinerary to feature 65 performances across North America. Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin, and Danny Carey have announced plans to present a global livestream titled Live From Los Angeles on November 10 at 8 pm PT. The worldwide demand for Beat appearances has been deafening since the ensemble’s formation was announced, and this move is directly tied to satiating that interest to give fans around the world the opportunity to watch a complete performance of this historic tour.
The performance will be available to purchasers for a limited window of seven days only. The event will be available for $24.99 in partnership with Veeps. The concert will be mixed by multi-Grammy and Emmy mixer Bob Clearmountain who mixed the livestream of the Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins tributes in both the U.K. and U.S.
“The 1981 through 1984 King Crimson created a music all its own. Timeless. Beautiful. Complex. Fierce. For the fans who lived through it then, and the ones who never got to witness it, our aim is to bring it to life again. A monumental task but we’re going for it! There are not enough exclamation points to express my excitement!” Belew shares.
“Being a part of this ensemble is an extraordinary privilege and opportunity to perform some of the most beloved, timeless, and monumental music of the 80’s (and beyond) with truly inspired musicians. This music resonates deeply with me. Adrian, Tony and Danny are unique musicians with an otherworldly insight into presenting rich musical complexities in a very accessible way,” Vai offers. “Father Robert Fripp is one of our historical geniuses. His highly specific and exceptionally brilliant guitar technique is studied and revered. His contribution to the quality of my musical life, and so many others is supreme. I can assure the fans of KC that I will be putting my best foot forward to respect this great music with the care and intensity it deserves. Did I say ‘sparks will fly?’”
“This is quite a tour. Revisiting some of my favorite music is a treat in itself, but in company of this stellar lineup, I expect to have my musical butt kicked! And it’s also great that we’re not just playing a few shows, we’re hitting it hard,” Levin states.
“I am very excited to share the stage with three of my favorite musicians on the planet. Tony, Steve and Adrian have always been a source of inspiration for me since the beginning of my career, and now to be able to share a bit of my musical journey with them is a dream come true. There’s nothing better to make some sparks fly and light a fire under your ass than getting out of your musical comfort zone, and I can’t think of any other three guys I’d rather do this with,” Carrey adds.
Former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin band together with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and explosive Tool drummer Danny Carey for the first time to create Beat, a creative reinterpretation of the three iconic 80s King Crismon albums – Discipline, Beat, and Three Of A Perfect Pair.
