One of the very finest bass players in the world.
Couldn't agree more!
Him and Sklar are definitely some of the best
@Forzaguy125 Also Pino Palladino.
Totally agree
Wowza, I agree! He’s mesmerizing 🥰
Imagine how his body feels. Talk about catching a buzz??!!!! 💭
I love how Gabriel would just grab half of King Crimson any time he wanted to do an album.
um,.. Robert Frip who IS king crimson would lend Pete some of his tools when he wasn't using them at the moment...
@@augustwest-e8lhe's gone mad with power
@@augustwest-e8l Robert Fripp played on some Peter Gabriel albums.
Actually , many went to King Crimson for the musical exploration. Tony was with Gabriel in 77 then KC in 1981 onward. Same for Bruford leaving YES to join KC. It is interesting to see the overlap of musicians in our musical tastes. ❤ cheers
Well...would be fair to say it’s the other way around. Levin is a full member of PG band since it's inception taking part in all their studio albums and shows. Robert Fripp had played in the first two PG albums. When he knew Tony Levin was available, he ran out to find him.
This guy doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves. He’s responsible for tons of amazing baselines
Ranked second in the list of under appreciated bassman. John Paul Jones is no. 1.
I always wanted his job still I'm okay😊😊😊
I think he did Wrigley Field. Great baseline.
i think he's greatly appreciated in the bass world, KC, and his many other great projects- and I'm sure he's OK with it 😊bass in your face
*bassline
Saw Tony in concert and was awed by his talent....Peter Gabriel picks the best...
Good grief, he’s SO bloody good.
I know haha I love his unique approach to the bass
Such a bad ass bass line.
Levin is a bass god.
What an unbelievable legend. The man is almost a mythical-type figure. He’s so unique and one of a kind.
i love how he is saying "We" instead of "I" , amazing bass player !!!
One of the best bassists I've ever heard, and his performance from start to finish on Secret World Live - Peter Gabriel 1993 Italy, is some of the best bass playing I've ever seen
He’s the man! Thinking about doing a whole documentary style video on Tony, what you think?
I love that his natural instinct as a bass player is to upstroke everything.
Tony Levin is one the greatest bass players nobody's really heard of.
Most musicians know who Tony Levin is and respect the hell out of him.
I've known his name since I was 13. I'm 40. He's definitely known and appreciated. I wanna know what Happened to Stu Hamm. Now that's a name I never see or hear
Nobody? Huh?
@@a.nobodys.nobodyI've played guitar since I was 7 or 8, I'm now 39. I had never heard of King Krimson or Tony Levin until a few years ago.
Lo conocen...no lo entienden...
His opening riff on Sleepless blows every bass line out of the water.
Crazy Soulful and Funky Bassline. Love the Sound.
One of the greatest bass lines by one of the greatest bass players. "Watching the Wheels" and his Stick part in "I Don't Remember" are just two other lines that are pure bass perfection.
Damn that so groovy😍
I know he has such a great feel
Me Tonto.
I never tire of the tone he got for this song.
Innovative and creative, truly one of the greatest musicians.
He doesnt get enough credit. That bassline is so damn good. The tone and sound... my God
Tony is frickin' awesome! Love him!
This man is a bass legend! He even looks like a bass.
Such a talented bassist! Love this demo. That tone KILLS and those chops OMG.
Saw him with King Crimson at the Mann Music Center 1982. Great show
Amazing bass player, seen him live numerous times with KC and Gabriel, but he’s also done hundreds of studio sessions with other musicians, not to mention aiding the development of the Chapman Stick. Looks great for his age too - turned 78, June 2024!
We appreciate you, Tony.
A bass god among men. ❤️
Tony's SO funky!! 😅
Tony is cool af
Sounds so good. Along with John's vocals, George's guitar, and Ringo's drumming, this is the timeless bass playing we all remember. Kids today, am I right?
Una leyenda.
Tony Levin. True musical genius.
One of my all time favorite bassists! Thank you for all your musical gifts to us Tony Levin!
The Man, Mr Tony Levin 🙏
This bass line is the work of a genius
You and Stanley Clarke stand out in my mind and most prevalent every time I think of a song I think of you two in one way.❤
Excellent explanation - and of course this iconic baseline was recorded and then run through some high end compression, to get to what we know and love.
Compressors are vastly underrated in creating a great bass sound....
Such an amazing funky bass line. Glad i got to know who he is because of genesis and peter gabriel. I could listen to this bass line all day.
The greatest bass solo i heard on stage with King Crimson. By the way, hi to Bill, my favorit drummer. Hug 🤗
Underrated bassist
A true master. 🎸
Just a truly beautiful piece of music. It is ear candy. That is the work of a soulful genius. It slaps in the song, but alone it’s smooth as butter.
The Chinese finger cuff extensions are my favorites of every trick Tony has up his sleeve.
No one can be King Crimson bass boss without being just a beast....
He is an Outstanding Musician and has A GREAT VOICE!!!😎😎😎
The god of thunder!
Maestro Tony Levin
Fretless Cutlass 2 bass!
Out effin standing!!
Worldclass Bassline👍
Wow so integral to the song's sound and vibe

One of the greatest bass lines ever from one of the greatest players ever!
That Bass Diggin in

Such an amazing musician ❤
Magician!
That compressor pedal needs recognition…
One of the greats hands down
Godlike tone.
Fretless bass with a pick gives it such nice top end growls
Such a genius!
Excellent excellent excellent 🕯️💜💙💜😌
Best song and vid clip ever
That sound is crisp, so good with headphones on and all. ✌️☺️
Peter Gabriel called Tony Levin the master blaster, -the king of the bottom end. It was in a dvd concert.
The master of his art
Learning from the Master👏
Legend.
King Crimson is a tour de force of musicianship.
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a "Thumbs Up."
ive had the honor of seeing this man in giant stadiums and clubs so small he had to get out the way so people could go to the mens room. humble, unassuming, a complete gentleman
Levin's a legend. Squire-esque.
Tony Levin is a lot like Ringo Star - not flashy but always able to put the right note in the right place in service of the song
The man, the myth, the legend. All 7 feet of him
Grande Tony
Bloody brilliant xx
What a tone. Actually sounds like "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus.
One of the best ever king crimson peter gabriel adrian belew to name a few
I'm hearing parts of ' Tell me something good '..
Ah yeah you’re right!
I thought that is what this song was… what is the song name of this jam?
@@andrewpantalones I need to know!!!
Fantastic Bass player Ace👌
Maestro gracias !!👍🥰🎼
Masterpiece
sei un grande
Grazie mille Vincenzo 🙏
Tony is amazing
A genius 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very innovative.
Sick!!
Un crack!!!! The best
A classic!...IMO all the live recordings are even better than the original...
Sounds like a bass line to a 90's sit com theme song
What a unique picking technique. Up stroke heavy
i thought the bass in the howler sounded interesting nice to hear how they came up with the sound
king!👆
Me encanta ❤❤
TL is Legendary
I thought it was a combo of bass and Chapman Stick on the track. Very cool.
Getting an octave pedal asap!
Leg end!!! 🎼👍💙
I remember seeing ABWH live in the late 80's, there was Tony Levin sitting in on bass, I was like, "I love Yes and all, but he's almost too good for them--it's a crime seeing him as just a backup musician".
I met him in person and he has a calm healing energy about him. Strangely, he was having a garage sale and I did not know I was walking into his realm until I was ready to purchase my item. You never know who you’re going to meet.
One time Steven Tyler was on my bike Taxi , but only gave me $10. I was not happy I met him.
