Beat - Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin, Terry Bozzio

Beat is a concert project built around the music of King Crimson's 1982 album Beat, with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin and Terry Bozzio named in the title. The evening brings together musicians from the band's 1981 era and a guitarist of Vai's standing.

Beat takes its name from King Crimson's 1982 album, a record made during the group's early-1980s period. Adrian Belew sang and played guitar in King Crimson from 1981 to 1984, and Tony Levin on bass and Terry Bozzio on drums were also members of that lineup. The title also names Steve Vai, a guitarist who has built a career as a solo artist and a performer in rock.

The project presents this repertoire in concert with the four names listed in the title. Fans of King Crimson's angular, rhythmically complex rock and of the guitar-led work of Belew and Vai will find the material the evening is built on.

The concert takes place at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, a venue that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. It suits listeners who follow progressive and guitar-driven rock and who want to hear former King Crimson players on one stage.
