Tony is AWESOME. Listened to "So" by Peter Gabriel not long ago.
Big Poppa, how long has Tony been a Musicman user? If you can say of course.

Notice too how Tony was tuned in - pointing for drum fills and even suggesting drum rhythms with a nod or a foot stomp.

Love those finger-stick things. Is he actually hitting one string at a time or all or them and muting the notes he doesn't want?

(currently staring at a SR5control panel cover I took to Palm Springs bash - signed by Tony, Cliff Hugo, Dave Marotta, Dave LaRue, BP and Luke)

I'm in love with Tony Levin

 

[TSanders]

Killer playing by Tony.

Not to slight him, but one of my favorite things in the video was John Ferraros sense of the pocket and his groove. Man he is just TIGHT.

 

[Basspro]

Tony's great. Was like the orchestra leader.

 

[Kristopher]

Killer playing by all three. Talk about a deep groove!

Ferraro LISTENS. I mean he listens like a bandleader listens. Watch how he works to not step on the other drummer (who is no slouch either). Also sounds like he turned the wires on his snare off at some point, adding an interesting counterpoint to the other "regular" snare drum.

Tony Levin is a mutant. Really love his style

 

[Lynottfan]

that was mental, Mr Levin is inspirational, love his stuff, I dont think the funk fingers woul work in my band, but they sure do look fun, no EBMM funk fingers on the horizon? )

thanks for mentioning that. I am a Levin fan from way back. the sticks on his fingers are what he calls funk fingers. Musicman made him a custom 3 string Stingray that he used with the funkfingers. Never seen him play a 5 with them though. Nice.
Wish I could hear him more and the drums less!

What? Did I just see all of that happening?!
