If you're a bassist, there are not many folks more inspirational than Geddy Lee!

Gotta ask: have you ever seen Gov't Mule's "Rising Low" DVD? After their bassist, Allen Woody, died, Warren Haynes (my hero started a tribute project, during which he gathered some of the best bass players in the world together to play Allen Woody's Gov't Mule parts, as well as their own signature pieces, live and on a tribute album. The result was "The Deep End" (a 2 volume CD set) and "Rising Low" (a DVD capturing the making of the CDs, and the resulting tour): http://www.mule.net/discography/rising_low.html

Here's the list of bassists on the DVD / CDs: Allen Woody, Alphonso Johnson, Bootsy Collins, Billy Cox, Chris Squire, Chris Wood, Dave Schools, Flea, George Porter Jr., Jack Bruce, Jack Casady, Joey Arkenstat, John Entwistle, Terry Graham, Les Claypool, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mike Gordon, Mike Watt, Oteil Burbridge, Phil Lesh, Rocco Prestia, Roger Glover, Stefan Lessard, Tony Levin, Willie Weeks

Tony Levin is amazing on the bass guitar and sitar. Check out some of his stuff in Liquid Tension Experiment.

Check out Tony Levin playing his bass with shortened drumsticks attached to his fingers. Got that from the Gabriel era - "Big Time," "Secret World," and "Steam," to be specific. He calls them "Funk Fingers." Oh, and for you bass people, it's an Ernie Ball Stingray in its various forms that Levin plays.

Heart of the Sunrise acoustic!
Jon Anderson & Tony Levin!
Freakin sweet man!
This is an awesome treat.
thank you so much deathcow.

Don't forget Tony Levin with his Bass-stick.

Morning deus,

If you look at my profile you'll see I love Crimson. I appreciate you posting this. It's nice to see Tony Levin playing the Chapman Stick and if I'm not mistaken that's Bill Bruford on the skins.

This is a great clip!

If you never heard of Gentle Giant, I think you will find them to be another supremely talented group:

The master of performance, Peter Gabriel, appears with Tony Levin (Bass), David Rhodes (Guitar), Paula Cole (Backing Vox), Manu Katche (Drums), Shankar (Violin), Jean Claude Naimro (Keyboards), Levon Minassian (Douduok).

This is one of the very finest concerts I ever saw. It is from the 1994 Secret World Tour and the DVD is worth every penny.

Amen to that.

“Best live act I've ever seen is Peter Gabriel. Believe me, I have literally seen them ALL. Current rumour du jour is that Gabriel is back in the studio with the original line-up of Genesis. That would be worth seeing- a monumental reunion that would put the friggin' Eagles (shudder) to shame.””
