“I had a long vamp out and I played an extra few notes. David smiled and said, ‘Tony, in Pink Floyd you don’t do that extra couple notes until far later’”: Tony Levin on playing for Pink Floyd in the post-Roger Waters era

Tony Levin performs with Peter Gabriel at Mediolanum Forum of Assago on May 21, 2023 in Milan, Italy.

Saying that Tony Levin has had just an illustrious career would be an understatement. The esteemed bassist has played with everyone, from John Lennon to King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, and David Bowie.

Levin also played a significant role in Pink Floyd's legacy during a particularly precarious time for the band – the recording of 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason and the post-Roger Waters era.
