Coming 9/12 to the SJ Civic: Beat

[thatguy]

Adrian Belew and Tony Levin joined by Steve Vai, filling in for Robert Fripp on co-guitar and Danny Casey from Tool as Bill Bruford on drums, performing highlights from the 3 80's albums: Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair - the best incarnation of King Crimson in my opinion...

I expect it to be pretty awesome. They kick off the tour in San Jose. Tickets go on sale to the public tomorrow (Friday) at 10am.

I remember when this aired for the first time on showtime. I must have watched it dozens of times.

TG - I remember you once showed me (and maybe others but I can't remember who) a video of King Crimson in Japan. All I remember is Tony Levin at a shrine or something, towering over the Japanese crowd.

I always hated Steve Vai, but he does have the chops to pull it off.

I picked up a Tool album at the library sale planning to sell it. I listened to it and while most of it was too metal for me, there was one song I liked; it sounded sort of like Porcupine Tree. They might evolve into a band I like. I remember DM mentioning dealing with trippers at at Tool show. I can't imagine why you'd want to trip there.

People trip in the oddest places. I do like Tool in live performance. It's so brutal.

Probably this one:



Sleepless is such a driving song...
