Tony Levin Rocks

[acroyear]

Last night, Dave and I saw Tony Levin and band (Larry "Synergy" Fast on keys, Jerry Marotta on drums (ex- of Peter Gabriel's band), and Jesse Gress on guitar (plays with Todd Rundgren)). In a word: amazing. Set list was much like the new live album they're promoting (Double Esspresso), though in a different order; it included 2 crim classics, a couple of peter gabriel things (including Genesis's Back in NYC), and much from Tony's two Narada releases (and a few suprises). On the website you can download mp3 samples. Tony also just got a Grammy nomination for Apollo, the first track off his Pieces of the Sun album. As an FYI, Tony plays for Peter Gabriel (has since Peter's first solo album) and was in King Crimson incarnations 4 and 5 (80s and 90s), and has done tours and session work for Paul Simon, Seal, Pink Floyd, Yes/ABWH, and a ton of others.
