BEAT Shares Music Video For “Thela Hun Ginjeet” From Upcoming Multi-Format Live Release "BEAT Live"

Legendary former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin banded together with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and explosive Tool drummer Danny Carey to create BEAT, a creative reinterpretation of the three iconic 80s King Crimson albums – Discipline, Beat, and Three Of A Perfect Pair.

In 2024, the ensemble staged 65 shows in North America before following it with an expansive run in Mexico and South America in 2025. On the 26th September 2025, in partnership with InsideOut Music/Sony Music, the Live audio/visual package will be released, with a sold-out show in Los Angeles as its focal point.

The third taste of the album comes from the live video “Thela Hun Ginjeet.” Watch it below.

In reference to “Thela Hun Ginjeet,” Steve Vai offers: “I used to listen to and love this song when it came out in the early ’80s. It’s a shot of adrenaline to end the BEAT show with this track. It gets people up and dancing… in 7/8! At least that’s the time signature of my blazing part. The whole song is a wild ride, from the tempo, the intensity of the groove, and the subject matter. In my perspective, ‘Thela Hun Ginjeet’ is a masterpiece and I’m honored to play it with the band every night.”

Adrian Belew shares: “In the eighties, Robert Fripp made the observation that the King Crimson quartet was perhaps the best live band in the world at the time. Tony, Steve, Danny, and I are committed to honoring this legacy with each and every performance staged.”

Adrian Belew reflects, “You’re walking on stage with three virtuoso musicians, world-class professionals who have seen it all but are still having fun playing this music which is timeless and unlike anything done before or since, and the audience knows every word and is so thrilled with the performance, the energy and love beaming back at you is overwhelming. What could be better?”

Steve Vai shares, “Touring with BEAT has proved to be so much more than I could have expected. Performing this music with Adrian, Tony, and Danny has been one of my favorite touring experiences, and we are now at the top of our game and captured the magic on BEAT LIVE.”

Tony Levin offers, “The band rocks. So glad we got high-quality recordings of what it is we do live – innovation meets classic material.”

Danny Carey states, “I look forward to every show I get to perform with Tony, Adrian, and Steve with excitement and awe. Playing gigs with musicians of this caliber is a dream come true. These songs are fun and challenging, and the promise of inspiration, execution, and surprise has never let me down. I can’t wait to do more!”

Available in 3 different formats, the Los Angeles show is mixed by Bob Clearmountain, and is available as a Special Edition 2CD+Blu-ray Digipak, a Limited Deluxe 3LP Triple Gatefold & Digitally.

A limited deluxe 3CD + Blu-ray Artbook edition will also be available, including extensive photos plus an additional 12-track Live in North America CD. The Blu Ray features the full Los Angeles show in 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo, as well as bonus interview content with the band.
