BEAT: Belew/Vai/Levin/Bozzio Performing the Music of KING CRIMSON

Adrian Belew and Tony Levin were half of the early-1980s King Crimson that made Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair. BEAT, with Steve Vai sharing guitar duties, exists to bring that music back to the stage. On this fall's run, billed as the band's last North American tour, Terry Bozzio takes over the drums from Tool's Danny Carey, which puts three Frank Zappa alumni in the lineup. Bozzio has recorded with Vai and played with Levin in Bozzio Levin Stevens. Belew has promised some 1990s Crimson material in the set. The Mahaffey Theater show comes late in a 40-date itinerary.
