Love this man. Brilliant artist and musician. He's given so much His creativity is such a gift to us.
there’s one guy somewhere who swears he was at a gig by himself and tony levin and danny devito were performing. no shot anyone believes them????
It's great to see his joyful reaction to Solsbury Hill, even though he has heard and played it literally thousands of times.
Extraordinary man. Such a treat this one.
Why so short?
Man Tony Levin is such a master im so glad you were able to interview him, one of the greatest musicians ever lived
Great conversation! We all have a lot to learn from the old guys and gals in the business.
What a lovely person:))))
Why is it funny that Buddy Rich was rude, angry and mean to his bands? Would someone like that that be desirable or funny today?
What a great interview!!!
I’d REALLY like to see you interview TONY FRANKLIN!
Fascinating interview
See you in Vegas Mr. Levin ❤
Tony is such a legend! so much music that I loved that he's being involved with. Thank you for, as he says at the end, the conversation, more than an interview
That was fantastic, thank you so much.
I had the pleasure of not only seeing Mr Levin play with the final tour of King Crimson but also got to meet him at one of the friends & family performances on that tour…..very nice man….
Tony, you and ALL these recordings! Good God man! Love the Crimson King, I am dissonant.
Nice to see he is still sporting the GROWING UP -tour jacket. 🙂
What a great, gracious guy… Mr. Levin. Saw Beat in Phoenix… Tony and all were incredible!
Rick, long time watcher and subscriber. Saw your latest package offer and wondered what you offer for s keyboard players? Keep up the good work, loved the Brad Mehldau interview, he is amazing.
1x(9/24/24)……0…..6:00….31:00….1:17:00….
I didn't know that this vid' would be out the last dwe zapp vid, but man, taking me back when amplifiers were started out, and old memories,," ❤ Note",( and yes, Iam partial new- King Crimsom.????)
As a kid growing up in Rochester during the 60's and 70's I probably saw Tony playing with the Rochester Philharmonic.
“This is a conversation, not an interview.” Rick, I know that you have accomplished so many things in your life, but these interviews are of magnitude that cannot be measured. This is a class in the history of modern music. I thank you so much for bringing this to our generation.
What an interesting, articulate and positive man! I can listen to him all day! Fantastic interview and great guy!
Music is definitely a universe to anyone who has listed to the radio.We have flown passed worlds w/o the opportunity of landing,only getting brief glimpse and short amount of time to perhaps catch a segment of what they are all about.The Joy of returning cannot be described in words,only music ????????????
Buddy Rich, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Sting, John Lennon, King Crimson…the six degrees of Tony Levin. Fascinating to hear Tony take us on his musical journey. Take in a 2024 Beat Show if you can. Very good stuff.
Tony needs to write a song title Too Many Notes just so he can can have an excuse to play too many notes!
That post intro section in "Big Time" is my absolute, all time favorite bassline. I turn that up every time i hear it just to hear that absolute magic
Loved it! Great interview!
I like music but can’t carry a tune in a bucket and don’t know anything about playing an instrument….. but am mesmerized by these interviews…. Really interesting stuff from people I never knew existed.
Tony is a Great Musician! Nice work! WooF!!????????
2 Legends. Rick, I keep finding myself pulled away from long form – yet always have half heard talks tabbed because I'm infinitely intrigued by your next guest YT suggestions. I thought I subbed long ago, today though. Still wrapping up a Dweezil ep, next – keep 'em coming, you got a fan in me!
Rick, you have arrived as an interviewer. I believe you could interview the garbage collector and I would watch it.
This is the best interview ever
This is one of the greatest interviews ever, this is what music is all about AMAZING, I am big fan of Tony
This is one of the greatest interviews ever, this is what music is all about AMAZING, I am big fan of Tony
First bass player I saw live. 1976 or 77 in Amsterdam with Peter Gabriel. Still a fan!
You made Tony Levin cry
Hermoso
LOL at 1:09:06!!!
Liquid Tension Experiment <3 one of the best bands ever Tony Levin is an absolute legend.
This has been the best 1.5 hours that I've spent this week! Thank you so much!!
I started playing the bass because there was one in the window of a music store I took guitar lessons at and I thought it looked cool. So my parents bought it for me for Christmas and got me lessons.
He’s a guy I’d like hanging out with. Brilliant and down to earth.
Goddamn, I love this interview.
Sensacional ❤
I could have listened for 137 more hours. Thank you.
RICK-HOW DO I GET A MESSAGE TO YOU?
