Tony Levin Using the Funk Fingers

Concert footage of The Tony Levin Band at The Coach House (San Juan Capistrano), Resonator tour 2006. The tune is "Pieces Of The Sun". Levin uses the "funk fingers", then switches to elec. upright. Note: My itty-bitty digicam wimped out on the LOUD concert sound; i.e., it overloaded a bit. :-p

I like the bit about 10 seconds into this vid when he uses them to scratch his arsehole. Stinky Funk Fingers!

He's adjusting the wireless on his belt behind his back. And a little awkwardly too with those things on his fingers.

Any one know the name of this song? It sounds real awesome.

[jon4bass]

The tune is "Pieces Of The Sun". I just changed the video description to reflect this fact. Thanks for watching!

Whos that guitar player? He just toured as a member of Todd Rundgren's band and he was great

[jon4bass]

That's Jesse Gress. He also writes for Guitar Player mag.

he´s like 100 years old.....but he still kicks every bass player´s ass

[jamahlsoares]

the funk fingers look a bit hard to use

Every time I listen to this I remain sleepless.

@simoon22 LMAO, Tony Levin low class musically and technically low class... I suggest that you look up some info on him. He does know how to slap. The funk fingers are just a different thing.

[simoon22]

musically and technically lowclass, he should learn how to slap...

[Loobs666]

@jon4bass Maybe so, but he's also having a quick, surreptitious dig at his itchy brown eye at the same time (watch that middle finger).

[TechSmack]

BONGO BASS!!!

I once gave my ex-girlfriend the old funk finger. She wasn't expecting it there but she came to love it.
