...Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, & Danny Carey doing the King Crimson songs from the Beat era albums.
Discipline, Beat, & Three Of A Perfect Pair.
The tour was named for the middle album.
Fripp & Bruford can't tour anymore (arthritis hot the best of them) so they got Vai & Carrey on guitar & drums.
As Adrian wrote most of those songs, Robert & Bill gave their seal of approval.
So, it was King Crimson without actually being King Crimson.
Vai used technical playing to substitute for Robert's Frippertronics. Carrey is a monster so he could do things like what Bruford could do.
If not for the iffy sound, it would have been fantastic.
