TONY LEVIN IS UNREAL!!!! Behind the scenes footage of Sleepless

Filmed at Three of a Perfect Pair music camp with Adrian Belew, Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin. Behind the scenes rehearsal of "Sleepless"

[enzosmith]

As the legendary story goes...Tony was scheduled to play Bass on John Lennon's album. John meets Tony for the 1st time and Lennon says to him .... "Everyone tells me that you're very, very good. So do me a great favor..Don't play too many notes." To which Levin replies "Yes sir."

Never get tired of this song!! Thanks for sharing!

[glenesis]

Thanks so much for sharing this! When "Three of a Perfect Pair was released, I listened to this song a cool million times, bought the extended single, and still love it to death. It's easily my favorite piece from that era. The energy on this track is unbeatable!The solo on this take is sick!

Man, Pat has got the tribal thing goin' on in his drumming nowadays- sounds fantastic. Tony always kills it.

[pvkoz]

Tony Levin is badass complete. Played with so many greats cuz his bass skills are so damn good. Crazy arsed player. Then add crazy arsed guitar player in Adrian Belew and there you go. Freakin awesome players. Been into these guys since the 70s. So good. It seriously must be so good to have players of this calibre and creativity man, urgh.

One of my most favorite songs. And bass lines ever!!

[gabevachon]

I met Tony and Bill Bruford when toured with members of Yes 30 years ago. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe. That was a night....

[gianlucamariotti]

I miss Robert Fripp, but this line -up is very strong !!

[blindsquirrel]

I always hoped he'd do an album called Tone 11.

[Wernerandreasli]

If God has a band, Tony will be the bassplayer

[farnorthweaver]

Percussion is BRILLIANT!  which of course, includes The Bass!

[miahprod]

Such a wonderful moment. I see lots of campers I miss...

[bobh]

The audio is a little hot but the intimacy of it is just lovely. It feels like a birthday party thrown by the coolest parents ever.

[chipford]

Is it just me, or does Tony Levin look like every high school's Driver's Ed teacher?

Phenomenally talented dude, who clearly doesn't feel a need for "flash"... I would love to take classes from the man

He used those fingers on Peter Gabriel's tour in 2001 on the opening song, Red Rain. Thanks to my brother him and I had front row right in front of Tony. There was a problem with Peter"s earbud monitors and he pulled his finger across his throat after about 20 seconds into it and the whole band stopped. Peter explained to the audience and they restarted the song from in beginning about a minute later.

" let's hear it for another great bald Italian American, Adrian Belew!"

[dorianmorgan]

The first crazy bass line I learned as a kid. The percussive gaunk with the plucks.

[davidmack]

most people have no idea how legendary these musicians are.
