  1. This is awesome! They are going to be going to Moncton, N.B. here on the East Coast of Canada with is only two hours away from me. I'm really hoping I can make it over there.

  2. 😊 absolutely great sit down with these legends. I was a guitarist in a couple bands in Vancouver BC 1978 to 1981. Talking Heads came through town, our bunch were so hyped, and loved the show. I left Vancouver and headed to Los Angeles. Those were the daze!! 😉

  3. 41:18… Maybe he's talking about the other version of "Matte Kudasai"?… I agree with Adrian, sounds a lot better without those extra arrangements that Fripp added. Glad that Robert decided to validate Adrian's judgement on that song…

  4. Rick I know how proud of your Pat Metheny, Peter Frampton, Stave Lukethier interviews but this breaks the bank. No one else has the knowledge, ability experience, or confidence to be able to do this. I just watched Bob Marleys document One Love and found thinking to myself "man I wish Rick had done this") I know you sell your musicsal educational stuff to support you channel but maybe it time to let someone with vision to give you a shot.. no-one does this the way Rick does.. THIS JUST BLOWS MY MIND!

  5. I am beyond excited about this project! Absolutely love King Crimson, and Tool is one of my all-time favorite bands (I'm seeing them live next month). I hope that BEAT will tour Europe some time in the future. I want to see that! Thank you for this interview. Like all of the interviews you do, it's a real trip.

  6. Another great addition to the Beato canon, which is headed for the Smithsonian imo. I was lucky enough to catch the “Beat” tour in Los Angeles at the Greek and it remains in my personal live music pantheon. I’m so glad this music will be heard live once more. PS—Mostly the vocal pieces, yes, but guys, please don’t forget “Sheltering Sky.”
