WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WEB'S LONGEST RUNNING BLOGS

Bassist Tony Levin has been sharing his road experiences here since 1996 (which sounds fairly recent, but in the Internet world, it isn't. Even the terms weblog and blog were coined in 1997 and 1999.)

We have over 400 archived tour pages on the site (with about 6,800 photos) and we're happy to have had over 3 million visits.



Feb 4, Kingston

Dates are starting to come in for Stick Men in North America in May. (so far, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Cincinnatti.) I'll continue listing them below on this page, as they are confirmed.

Jan 26, Kingston

Came across a cool Paul Simon video, now linked to on the 'featured video' at right. The band then had my brother Pete on kbds (which is confusing if you think it's me) and wow, I played cowbell. Paul's singing great, Steve Gadd is amazing, and boy I miss Richard Tee and Eric Gale.

Things are relatively quiet for me this coming month, preparing for Stick Men recording and S. America tour, but there will be plenty of road action to put on the web from March 1st through... well, through the whole year.


Jan 22, Kingston

The best laid plans sometimes get changed. Due to a sudden family crises I had to head home from Santa Cruz, without playing the show there with the California Guitar Trio.
My apologies to any in the audience at Don Quixote's, who may have missed me (I'm told the show was excellent anyway) and my thanks to the Trio, who graciously agreed that I'd better get back home. (My mother fell, broke a hip, and needed surgery and medical decisions quickly - all done by tonight and she's doing fine, thank goodness!)

I'll spend the next month finishing up the Stick Men Soup CD (release in May) and preparing for our March tour in South America. (I'll have almost daily press interviews about it.)
So, though the webpage might be quiet, I'll have plenty to keep me busy.

I do have a little finishing up to do on the last few tour pages, and will notify when that's done.


Jan 18, Anaheim

The NAMM show wrapped up last night. I've got a second page showing some of the colorful sights from it.
Travelling to the Bay Area today, where I'll hook up with the California Guitar Trio for some shows.
Just uploaded an old letter that King Crimson fans may find amusing.

Jan 16, Anaheim

Up early and threw together some photos for the first page of NAMM 2010.

Jan 15, Anaheim

Here for the start of the yearly NAMM show (music instrument industry's trade show).

I've just finished up the HoBoLeMa tour pages with a new page, with photos from the Whitter and San Diego shows, and some extras from back when we played Santa Cruz.

There will be photos from here at NAMM soon, when I have a bit of time free to put them up. (Concerts today and tonight)


Jan 13, San Diego

Just arrived here in San Diego, for the last show of our HoBoLeMa tour.

It's been really nice - very challenging, and expanding musically. I've jammed the second tour page full of photos, so I'll start a third one for tonights show, and maybe will add some shots of the band taken by friends.

Late tonight I'll head for Anaheim and the yearly NAMM show. Always good for colorful photos, lots of music gear to see, and this time I'm playing a few times, so there'll be some live show shots.


Jan 10, Oakland

The HoBoLeMa tour is going very nicely - great audiences and pretty amazing improv shows each night.

Photos of Santa Cruz and first Oakland shows are up on a second tour page, as well as the Seattle and Portland shows on the first tour page.


Jan 5, Portland, OR

As usual I've fallen behind with my web pages at the start of a new tour.
But finally have started getting my photos up from the Seattle shows of this HoBoLeMa tour. (That's a convenient name for the group: Terry Bozzio, Allan Holdsworth, myself and Pat Mastelotto).

Just played tonight in Portland - I have a long van ride tomw. to try to get the page up to date with those photos - so more soon.
