WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WEB'S LONGEST RUNNING BLOGS

Bassist Tony Levin has been sharing his road experiences here since 1996 (which sounds fairly recent, but in the Internet world, it isn't. Even the terms weblog and blog were coined in 1997 and 1999.)

We have over 400 archived tour pages on the site (with about 6,800 photos) and we're happy to have had 4 million visits.

This site, papabear.com, is now archived and will not be updated. Please visit my new site at tonylevin.com!

May 18, Kingston

The first leg of Stick Men's Prog Noir tour has finished, and it was quite exciting musically.

I took a little break from road diaries, because more tours are coming up, and also I expect to have a re-design of this site pretty soon.

Lots coming up, but excitingly, King Crimson have just added more dates to our Fall tour - including Italy, where we haven't played in some time.
They're below, and I'll update as things become confirmed. (And, yes, soon I'll take down the Stick Men dates we've just finished!)

(update: removed the old dates, and there are now new Crimson shows in Monte Carlo, Marseille and Paris)
