Agreed! Tony is a long time idol of mine... I own all the Peter Gabriel stuff he's on, the King Crimson, the solo stuff and Liquid Tension Experiment. Quite a few of his studio dates are in my collection as well.

He seems to know exactly what to play when... and always for the song!

Oh and welcome to Talkbass Roger!

He has is always beem an idol also.

I got to see him at a benefit for a local guy here in rochester years ago.

He played some killer fretless with Judy Collins then himself, his brother on keys, the trumpet player from Blood Sweat and Tears and a local guy on drums did un off the wall 20 minute long improv. He used the stick for that one.

He always seems to find the right notes without getting in the way.

I'm going to see him saturday night

As far as I'm concern he is one, if not the best bassist alive.

Yea, Love his playing, I have a BassDay 96 DVD with an interview with him, he is a really nice guy too, very humble about his achievments and simple in conversation, no ego, nothing, great.

Bought the new album a week or so ago.

It was worth it. The do a cool version of the Sabre Dance.

It has many different feels to it.
