Tony isn't really much of a gear guy...... His specifics generally consist of "this one felt right".

I did an opening set for him back in 2007 and he was much more interested in chatting about the pending Giants/Patriots game that was happening the following afternoon.


I agree he does not talk much about the electronics. Strangely, of all the band members at "Three of a Perfect Pair" camp Tony had the largest pedal board setup, three feet wide by 2 feet deep. He had so many devices, some were turned on their side to fit.

Post Re: "Mister Tony Levin!"
Tony Levin has been an enormous influence on me as a bass player and, like a lot of people on here, he was my introduction to the Chapman Stick.

I've seen him live with Peter Gabriel & King Crimson a few times but I was incredibly excited to find that "Stickmen" were playing in a little club in Cardiff a few months ago (nobody like that ever plays here!).

As well as being able to watch Tony play Stick from only a few feet away I also got a load of CDs & my copy of "Beyond the Bass Clef" signed that night.

It was a real joy & an honour to see him play & talk to him & I'm still smiling about it months later.

Here's a couple of photos:
