BEAT (King Crimson) - The Sheltering Sky • 2024-12-08 • Kings Theatre, Brooklyn, NY • 4K

Was there, the crowd really came alive right after that tune!

The highlight of the show

You must have been right by me.

Really nice to hear them take these tunes in new directions, which I'd hoped they would do. (I saw the opening night of the tour, when they were just trying to get the material right.) Please tell me there will be at least one live release!

was there; absolutely incredible.

btw: THANK YOU for posting this. My favorite live show in many many years.

Interesting to watch Vai loosening up his hands before this starts.
He's got some very heavy lifting to do!

F**** AMAZING!!! I saw this show a week ago, and this was the show stopper of the night!!!

Adrian is using a lot of the original (exact) gear, it sounds really good.

Dueling stunt 🎸🎸🎶🎶💙

This is when the mushrooms hit fully for me and yes, I was de-cleated from the turf of earth. So good wtf

Awesome.....hope to see this incarnation live...thanks for posting

This was good but it was so much better live when Bruford would wander the stage with African slit drum.

I saw them in Lynn Mass and thus song was amazing there also. The whole night was amazing to me as a KC fan and a Vai fan and Tool fan. I had a 3 mile smile all night!

This is a fantastic video! Thanks for posting it.

monsters... i understand why Fripp completely agree with the project :)

I've watched dozens of these clips from the Beat shows and sadly nothing compares to being there. WOW! great fucking show. thanks for posting, this is among the best I've seen/heard!

Steve really kills it on this version, especially the parts with Adrian. Tony's parts are a bit weak. But the fucking commercial interruption ruins it.

I just saw them 2 nights ago, while i'm not the biggest fan of Steve Vai and I have to say he did a masterful job handling the Fripp parts, including some awesome soundscapes and improvs. I'll need to take a closer look at his more recent stuff. Danny Carey is off the charts! Ade and Tony, what more can you say? These guys are playing with the exuberance of teenage kids, I sure hope they do more with this. Maybe a phone call to Mr Mastelloto to grab his Rhythmn Buddy Trey and hop aboard, go to the next level!

That's beautiful. I really love that.

BELEW & VAI .. NO WORDS NEEDED EXCEPT CAREY ON DRUMS TOO AND LEVIN ON BASS.. WHATT !.. JUST A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE.. HOWEVER I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THIS GROUP DO AN ORIGINAL ALBUM TOGETHER.. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE CREATIONS THAT WOULD COME FROM THAT MAGICAL BREW.. ONE CAN DREAM

This drummer is why tool cannot make more music.

Absolutely beautiful music. Amazing guitar spots by Steve Vai. Second to none!

Yeah
Doesn't have the magic.🥲
Overviad.

These guys always impress me like a mo-fo !! Vai was lovin’ it like McDonalds too !! What’s better than hearing something this good for the first time ?? Awesome !!!!

Just realized that was DC on the drums !!! Too cool. Stellar Lineup !!!

King Crimson and WEED 🍁 go together like Milk🥛 ‘n Frikkin’ Honey 🍯 !!!! Or The CAPTAIN and COKE !!!! Or whatever you like to mix together that tastes good !!!!

I love how all the instruments are so clear in this vid. In so many of these vids I have no idea what Tony is doing.

WOW. What a beautiful performance of this classic piece. Love the original and love this new version. Danny Carey is doing an absolutely sterling job in this band and I'm really impressed with his timing and use of a drum kit that's practically an exact replica of the great Bill Brufords kit. Tony Levin is effortlessly playing that stick because Tony has been with King Crimson constantly and now Beat and it's an instant fit, Adrian is getting amazing sounds from his guitar and keeping the overall theme for the most part which is the glue that holds it altogether and Steve Vai is really giving something extra special by the way he's fitting with the main theme of the original album version while adding striking improvisation and enhancing musical ideas to this classic, it's really uplifting and illuminating this great music. I'm finding his effortless solo additions to be a nice push outside of the cruise style nature of this piece, which really gives some nice tension moments to pull you out of the rolling along feel. At the end of the day, it's the sheltering sky and that sky can always have unusual unsuspected wind changes etc. Most of all they all flow along together so well and no one is ever trying to outdo anyone, it's all towards making the music the best it can be, plain and simple. Joy, thanks for sharing Kings Theatre, these clips are a great Christmas presents for this fan and many fellow fans to boot I'd imagine.

Vai nailed this one.

❤❤❤

wow!!! love his drumming and the band over many, many years!!

Okay.... Fan des albums 80's de KC j'ai été très critique de cette ré-incarnation que je voyais comme une manière de faire passer à la caisse de nombreux admirateurs comme moi... Après quelques mois de tournée des ces héros absolus (tous les 4) je ne peux que m'incliner ici.... BEAT n'est pas un cover band, il y a ici beaucoup d'interaction entre les musiciens, et surtout beaucoup de libertés par rapport au morceaux originaux, mention spéciale à Mr. Vai qui malgré un jeu d'acteur un peu exagéré prolonge avec beauté Mr. FRIPP..... fantastique !!!!!!

It’s sad the creator Fripp is not included as good as a guitar player this stand in is there is zero comparison the fangs are removed No brufford The floor the foundation is gone Just another cover-up band making us settle for less and less Thanks Adrian

I love that Vai keeps evolving his parts on this song. And it seems like he and Belew are really enjoying their new guitar partnership.

four masters at work! thaaaaaank you

wiping tears😭

vaya petardo infumable

Meanwhile Danny’s still drumming !

❤

Absolutely amazing
Equal if not better to Beacon solo.
PLEASE keep touring!!!
Hell- NEW ALBUM BY “BEAT”????
