Watch Tony Levin Rip Through BEAT’s Ferocious Live “Neal and Jack and Me”

BEAT has released a new live video for “Neal and Jack and Me” featuring Adrian Belew on vocals and guitar, Tony Levin on bass and Chapman Stick, Steve Vai on guitar, and Danny Carey on drums. The group delivers a sharp and modern take on the classic King Crimson track.

Levin’s playing is central throughout. His Stick lines add depth and movement while his bass work holds the entire arrangement steady. He supports the shifting rhythms and intricate interplay without ever losing clarity or feel.

This performance is a clear example of Levin’s ability to elevate any ensemble. For anyone interested in progressive bass playing or the enduring legacy of King Crimson’s Discipline-era sound, it is well worth watching.
