Tony, thanks for all your great playing. I lost hope, that Peter will stop creating art with sound fragments and return from cyber-world to the human fragments and write natural songs again with flute and acoustic guitars .... maybe Ezrin will make a change? The best to you!

Hi Tony! As a bassplayer I can't tell you how much I love you stylings and innovations!
When are you coming to the Toronto area? You could rock the Air Canada Centre under the CN Tower, with 100% Bryston audio. We'd love to see you up in Canada, eh? Take care!

The Stick Men's Princeton show last night was perfect weather, incredible intimacy, and at once nostalgic for me and incredibly progressive. How can it be that I can hear a hundred other bands who've been influenced by your music and still feel like you're the one pushing the envelope, Tony?
Never been to Pettoranello before, got there early and discovered the site was so beautiful I had to sketch instead of reading the book I'd brought. (Thanks for autographing the tent, haha!) During the show I was mesmerized by little details, and when I wasn't totally lost in the sound, I captured a few more in my book. That show was one to remember in as many ways as I can! Infinitely glad you drove down to gift us with such a great concert.
All the best to you, Pat, and Michael.

Wonderful show in Princeton, NJ.
Under The Stars and Moon.
Bull Frogs and Fireflies.
In addition to Lily Neill opening and a very polite audience,
made it a very special evening.
Always amazed by the musical performance The Stickmen offer. Waiting for the next recording to arrive. The new song you played was beautiful.
Thank you very much for doing this show.

Tony - It was great to finally meet you after all these years of listening to your music. The show at the Bearsville Theatre was INSANE. The most amazing thing was that my kids (Afro Man and Bass Babe!) were completely blown away...and I thought they were ruined for good stuff! Thanks for an amazing night...OH...BTW...that dual drumming on InDiscipline is STILL in my head!

Tony, As usual, your shows at The Tralf are a blast. It looked like you guys had a lot of fun. The new stuff sounded intense. I would like to thank you for the genuine willingness to always shake hands and sign something or pose for a pic. As you guys can tell,.it means alot to many, especially other musicians.

Thanks for another fun filled performance! I have now seen 4 very intimate shows with you in very different groups. Last night at the lost horizon was a special one. At one point you sad Gee you will accept anything. It's because we are starving for good shows to come to town. I get to see your former band mates in Albany next month, Dream Theater double bill with Zappa plays Zappa.
Keep up the Fun stuff!

Hey Tony, I enjoyed the show at the lost horizon. I was especially pleased that you and your band seemed to enjoy it. I was happy to be a part of it. I feel badly more people didnt show for you guys : ( However those who did loved it . This town is a bit fickle with the music scene. I say The Stickmen were just what the doctor ordered. Thanks for coming and being a great personable guy :) All my best in all you do

Hey Tony,
I am a Tuba player and has always been a fan of your bass lines and was wondering if you could give me some hints on how to play the bass line solo in Excuse Me.
My parents have seen you play with PG several times and they really enjoy watching you perform.
Thanks,

Hi Tony,
Was watching the Growing Up Live dvds some nights back and noticed you use sticks to play the bass at times. What are they and do you sell them?
Like your nice melodic groove and do you use a musicman bass predominantly?
Any chance of playing in Perth, Australia?
Take care
Eugene Anthony

Hi Tony, I have a couple quick questions:
1. Have you ever considered an instruction disc on the stick? I'm really intrigued by the instrument and thinking of getting one.
2. What are the chances of Stickmen playing Austin? I mean Pat lives there and Tx fans need some love...

Great Performance yesterday in Zoetermeer!
Is good to see how three perfect musicians, can make so much fun and noises.
Especially the various sounds (itching and scratching) coming out of your Sticks amazed me.
But also Pat's Sticksounds on the drums were fabuleus en colorfull.
Looking forward to the next Stickmen CD or gig in the (near?) future...

Thanks for the vintage road diary pages ! At the time you started your chronicles from the road I didn't have a computer yet, so it's been interesting and amusing reading of some events I attended(KC italian tour 1996,DGM gathering in London in 1997)but I wasn't able to read your comments about them.
Yes, the KC date in Pisa was incredibly beautiful, I have such happy memories of that night, the location, Piazza dei Cavalieri,was stunning, you had the stage just in front of the ancient University building,so beautiful.
I'd like to mention also the after-concert surprise I had, when, walking back to the parking lot I suddendly found you chatting with some fans,just outside the restaurant where you had dinner, and how thrilled I was, and then the rest of the band (minus R.Fripp,of course) came out and I nearly had a heartache for the happiness, what a night !
You should have written of this stupid one, in your odd events list, who kept on yelling "Tony Levin, Tony Levin!"in the middle of the road,in Pisa.... I still get ashamed about it, but this is to be a genuine fan.
Have a great time while touring Europe, Mr.Levin !

¡Great stick men gig last night in Madrid!
It started with some sound problems, but it didn't appear to affect the great vibe of the band. Some tunes from "Stickman", some great KC moments (I dont wanna ruin any surprises here for next gig's audiences), incredible grooves an a lot of humour. Tony, Pat and Michael are a brilliant team.
I hope they come back to Madrid soon.
Zanx for a great night. Monday mornnig now... still with a smile in my face.

You have to be one of the most brilliant interpreters I have seen, besides being an all around solid bassist. It really comes home to me when I see you playing old school jazz for the folks, and then smacking it in the arse closer to the witching hour. What a force.

Hi Tony, thanks for posting all the videos and pics from Buenos Aires! It is very nourishing to connect with the process of making and performing Peter's great music. It makes it much more human.
I have been lived abroad and for many years and wasn't able to get to BA, but got the official recording of the show from Peter's website.
Peace and Rock & Roll!

Hi Tony,
Good to see you are out on the road with the Stick Men soon who I would have loved to see but really sad that you haven't managed to squeeze in at least one date in the UK.
Is the cost of touring too expensive here for you to simply make it happen as several of my other favourite artisits seem to skirt around England without visiting
Have just ordered the last concert date of the Peter Gabriel tour, can't wait to hear it
Best wishes,
Steve Hawes

FROM TONY - thanks, as always, to all of you who visit the website and who take the time to comment here.
Our PG tour of South America was great fun, and had thrilling audiences. Of course I hope Peter tours more in the coming year - but there are no plans for that at this time.
I WILL try to come to South America with my own band, though, when I can get the bookings. The band is Stick Men, with King Crimson's drummer Pat Mastelotto, and two Stick players; Michael Bernier and myself.
We're about to tour Europe, then will do some U.S. shows in June, and there is another Europe tour hovering for the Fall -- after that, I'm hoping we can fly South!

Thanks so much for this tour diary. It was great to keep up on the tour, and after the concert in Monterrey (wow) we eagerly anticipated seeing what you'd put up from that show. It was worth flying in from Arkansas for the concert. For us, it was a dream of many years fulfilled.

I give you a lot of thanks for to come to Mexico with Peter and play's music. I admire you a lot because you play excellent the bass guitar and stick like no one else. I had the opportunity to chat with you in the lobby of President Hotel in your last tour Growing Up with Peter Gabfriel. I wish to have contact with you and Peter Gabriel because I love your music. I'm a physician a traumatology and orthopedic surgeon. The sellection of the song in the concert of Mexico City was wonderful. I hope that you return soon to Mexico with King Crimson or with your own band.

I just wanted to say thank you to Tony for being such a nice person. I was in Mexico City on business, staying at the same hotel as he and the band and I approached him in the hotel lobby and he was nice enough to take time from his day off, to talk to me about their show the night before (I was not fortunate to attend). We also talked about the show with Crimson last year in Chicago which I attended and was amazing. He was also kind enough to take a picture with me. Again, thank you Tony.

Dear Tony,
I've listened to you and studied your bass playing for years. You keep improving over time. You've truly been a primary music influence to me.
I've hoped for quite a while now that I might be able to hire you for a session sometime.
I have a bunch of pop/ballad & traditional r&r tunes I (Still) have not shopped. I need to publish them soon.
If I can contact you to inquire more about whether or not this would even be possible, I would greatly appreciate it.
Either way, thanks again for the inspiration.

Tony I haved to wait 16 years to finally hear you in concert. When concerts came back to México a friend of mine buy me a ticket for Peter's Gabriel first presentation in the country, unfortunately I didn't have money then he sold my ticket. I wasn't close to DF when you got these other shows with PG and King Crimson (I went to Crimson's show at Metropolitan in DF but you wasn't part of that lineup. Anyway it was magical). But now, 16 years later I was at Foro Sol to hear you and it was amazing. I felt like a child in his first concert. You wont be able to understand the way it was. My bass hero on the stage. The amazing playlist with songs from Car. Thanks a lot. I will remember this for the rest of my life.

Some years ago I was looking for some Crimson stuff when I found your diary on the net with all the photos and storys about almost every activity your´re musicly involved in and since then I´m checking your page constantly at least once a week and I thought it couldn´t get any better. And now this. A Tony Levin Chanel on YouTube. And a basscam. How great is this? Just thanks for sharing your life as a musician with us and I´m looking forward seeing you in Hamburg in May with Stickman.

Dear Levin. I don't have words to thank you for posting so much interesting information about the tour of Latin America. I was at the concert in Caracas, I traveled 16 hours by bus to hear you. The previous days I was checking your page daily for more details. I hoped with excitement and joy several things: 1 - the new light! you are evil!, you just showed us the equipment and I was dying of curiosity to know the use, I looked on the stage but it was hidden under the floor and I immediately identified as Peter Gabriel used it. 2 - I saw the Spanish dictionary as I thought it was Gabriel's keyboard . Do not you imagine the excitement that this caused me, was looking forward to hear some words in Spanish, but my surprise was even greater when I saw that he prepared the introduction to all the songs in Spanish. This is a beautiful detail that I'm going to thank you my entire life. 3 - The new song, Melanie's song was new, but two others I did not recognize, create new music for us is a privilege, thank you once again.
Thank you for creating my spectators with the details published to your page, it was a great strategy to make me enjoy the concert much more. See all the work and the love you put into your work is indescribable, wonderful is not enough to describe it.
Oops, I have not submitted, I think the most important thing I can say is that I hear you when I was in the womb of my mother (30 years ago), my father pursued during your pregnancy so that I heard in there, I have followed since then, I know all the songs, such as dance, dress like, like ... Thousands of things, and I enjoyed every minute of this wonderful concert, I had never before heard you live and feared that not happen ever, thanks to incorporate Venezuela into the itinerary.

Keep up the great work musically and websically.

Hey Tony,
A link to the coffee page of your site was posted on HomeBarista.com
My traveling companions are a vintage KYM manual grinder, and a 1981 Olympia Cremina lever.
I roast my own as well.
Enjoyed your music these years, especially your application of the Chapman Stick.
I visited Emmett's place many times, but as a keyboard guy, felt lost on it. Obviously your weren't.
Later.

Really enjoyed the Iridium show! Long time fan who still rocks out to the Secret World and Growing Up DVDs (was at the Growing Up show at MSG, NYC) as well as Crimson. Your craftsmanship brings me joy. All the best to you and yours.

I thought you went back into the studio with
King Crimson in 2004 or 2005. Did anythig come out of that or was I just day-dreaming again.
Please let me know.

Dear Tony, now I'm listening to "CG3+2". It's an excellent piece of instrumental music, especially your version of "Heart of the Sunrise". The bass line is so powerful. Best regards!

Hi Tony!!! I am Silvio Paredes, chilean stickplayer and the organizer of the Stick international festival StickChile that had already 2 editions and we are working hard for this year festival. Last edition came Linda Cushma with Oxygen8 and many others.

Saludos Maestro!!

Dear Tony
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Gerry was amazing...Bellavia has always been one of my favorites.

I'll be thinking about you all
I listened to a live version of "STEAM" by Peter Gabriel on YouTube - the bass stood out as deep, clear and very appropriate to the song. So good I looked this guy up. Some kind of stick bass. I'm no expert on music - no training at all - but have
a good ear; this fellow is a superb bass player.

An indescribable inspiration to my view.
Ever a chance of an equipment list?
Or, your most common signal path's?
So many notes, Easy to tell which one's are yours.
Distinctive to you.
