Besides touring and recording with Little River Band, Peter found time to master many other fine accomplishments during the 90's. He released his first, and only, solo cd on Curb Records, self  titled Beckett. This cd stood out as a classic of it's time, offering a collection of pure AOR songs, released at a time when really good AOR albums were hard to find. The cd featured many outstanding musicians, such as Wayne Nelson, Dan Huff, Danny Johnson, Dennis Lambert, and Dave Amato, to name a few. Beckett, showed more of a harder rock edge with  'I Told You So', 'My Religion', and 'Brother Louie', but also brought the mood down with 'The Bottom Line', 'Hangin' By A Thread', and 'Still Of the Night'. 'My Religion' was a favorite of Peter's and he was surprised to find out it was a minor hit in Germany and Japan, while he was touring with Little River Band at the time. He had no intention of touring to promote the BECKETT CD, but it did quite well and still is a favorite among AOR fans today. 'Brother Louie' was released in the US as a single.

In 1995, Ronn Moss, long time friend and bandmate, got together with Peter to listen to some demos that Peter had been working on in his home studio. Ronn was taken back by what he heard, claiming that Peter was always one of the most incredible song writers he has ever known. Originally, it started out as a solo project for Ronn but then they later decided to release Electric Shadows (Polystar) as the fifth Player album. Electric Shadows was released in Japan on 1995, with Peter and Ronn sharing the lead vocals. Peter, also the producer of this new project, decided to change the title to a more American style and released it in the US as Lost In Reality (River North Records), in 1996. The Japanese release listed an extra track called 'Until You Let Go', off the movie soundtrack Frankie and Johnny, which Peter recorded as a duet with Jeanette Clinger in 1991. The single, 'Footprints In The Sand' was released off of Lost In Reality, getting a lot of air play. The other tracks were also straight-to-the-heart melodies about love and life.

Lost In Reality earned Player a nomination at the L.A. Music Awards for best independent production of a cd. This was the first time in fifteen years that Peter and Ronn had performed live as Player. Backing them up was Elliot Easton of the Cars on guitar, Burleigh Drummond of Ambrosia on drums, and Tony Sciuto of Little River Band on keyboards. The reviews were so amazing, that they had several offers to continue playing live again as Player. River North was orignally a country label out of Nashville, and later dropped the band. Player tried to buy back the rights to the cd, with no luck.  

With the suggestion from MTM Records and Magnus Soderkvist, 1997 saw Peter Beckett and Steve Kipner hooking up again as Think Out Loud, recording a second cd, called Shelf Life. Once again, this was a collaboration of superb, shared lead vocal and song writing by Peter and Steve, proving that they have always been two of the most talented singer/songwriters/ musicians in the business since their beginnings. 

In 1999, a new tv mini-series premiered on CBS called Shake, Rattle, & Roll which traced the evolution of American rock and roll starting in the early 50's. It was a fictional love story featuring a fictional band named The Hartaches. Although Peter did not star in the mini-series, his voice portrayed the lead vocals of The Hartaches on nine songs from the soundtrack by the same name. These songs, once again, proved Peter Beckett's versatility in music style. Later in 2002, one of the tracks, 'A Touch Of Heaven', was used in a Lever 2000 soap commercial for tv. This popular commercial was well remembered for "fingers walking across skin."

Longing to be on the road again, after leaving Little River Band in 1997, Peter and Ronn Moss decided to regroup, touring as Player once again in the spring of 1998. The backing lineup consisted of Tony Sciuto(LRB), Burleigh Drummond(Ambrosia), Steve Farris(Mister Mister), Dave Amato(Reo Speedwagon), Ron Green(Loggins and Messina), and Ron Wikso(Foreigner), depending on their schedules. A later lineup of Player included drummer Craig Pilo, Michael Hakes, Ron Green, Tony Sciuto, Ronn Moss and Peter, playing festivals and venues across the United States. Sadly, Michael Hakes died on November 19, 2003, from complications of leukemia. He was an excellent guitarist, sideman, bandleader and composer. He was also known as the creator of a software called SmartSound that offers customers original royalty-free music. After Michael's death. Player stopped touring and continued on with their other projects.
