Timeless Prints Publishing Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Huge Tony Levin fan here! What are some of your most memorable riffs from Tony Levin's vast catalog? His bass lead in Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening" and Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" seem the most iconic to me. Post your favorites by the master of the Chapman Stick!

daveybass Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Secret World and Only Us for his ace noodling (if such a term exists) Tony is a legend and assisted me with my best man speech . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 His playing on the Union album by Yes: sounds like a fretless with a metal fretboard, awesome noises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It's not a riff, but the play-out of Don't Give Up has to be up there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Red Rain, Sledgehammer (of course), Steam, Shaking the Tree. His solo album ‘Resonator’ is marvellous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 My favourite three King Crimson albums: Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair. This was the first stuff I'd heard by the brilliant Tony Levin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
