少し前から噂で情報が流れていたニュース。King Crimsonが1980年代の3枚（『Discipline』『Beat』『Three of a Perfect Pair』）を演奏するツアーに、Steve Vaiが参加するらしい。このツアーを告知する動画やインタビュー動画もある。
In the late ’60s, King Crimson was one of the most influential prog-rock groups in the world.
After disbanding in 1974, guitarist Robert Fripp reformed the band in 1981 with new members Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford, and Tony Levin. The quartet took their sound in a wholly new direction with their three African, post-punk, and minimalist albums “Discipline,” “Beat” and “Three of a Perfect Pair.”
Now, more than 40 years later, King Crimson sans Fripp and Bruford will take that trio of records on the road for their 2024 ‘BEAT Tour’ with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey.
Along the way, the legendary outfit will stop into New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Oct. 5, Red Bank, NJ’s Hackensack Meridian Theatre on Oct. 9, Rochester’s Kodak Center on Oct. 19 and Albany’s The Egg on Oct. 21.
While Fripp isn’t part of the tour, he did give the upcoming jaunt its blessing.

ワタクシが最も好きなプログレバンドに、ワタクシが最も好きなギタリスト。頭と心の整理がつかない。。。King CrimsonにAdrian Belew（Vaiと同じくFrank Zappaの門下生）がいるとは言え、驚きを禁じ得ない。。。日本でもライブをしてくれ、などと贅沢は言わない。ライブDVDを出してくれ。。。
