Level 42 reminds me of my life in my most favorite place on earth Capetown southafrica. Saturday afternoon me and my daughters driving on the n1 from paarl to the waterfront down town.bills are paid and I have r5000 in my pocket . I don't know what's going to happen but that money is as good as gone right there.its junk food and ice cream and all manner of nonsense. And level 42 is playing on the boom box

Mike Lindup's keyboard rig is just insane here ......the talent between him & Mark King is so immense......so underrated

Totally agree with you. I really would like to see specials sessions in KZread showing the lot of music advances that Level 42 created. My oldest daughter is 34 years old and the younger one is 4. They are 5, and when we spend some time toghether usually spend a lot of time listening and also playing good music. Level 42 an all its musicians are always present. Love them!!!

Sometimes I wish to be born in the UK during the 70's. To know I'm never gonna experience live songs like this masterpiece, it's pretty sad. But luckily there's KZread and other sources to find great music. Respect from -91 born man from Finland.

Haha Carlos, I had my 21st birthday in Tampere!! Great summer of 95, heatwave and all ! 😊

One of the bands that Sir George Martin liked, that's saying a lot.

This song is 30+ years old. That says a lot.

I tuned in here because this song reminds me of my best friend that passed away about 14 years ago. This was his favorite Level 42 song. I wish I could relive the times we spent listening to this album. 👌🏽

i like the way King plays the intro of the song in the Jaco Pastorius style , then goes into his slap bass style . first time i ever heard hand slap or hand wacka bass style was by Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham back in the late 1960s

Love this song and a brilliant album Running in the Family

That intro is just gorgeous

love this live performance of a timeless classic. the ending had me in tears. beautiful

Simplemente brillante. El ensamble de vices y armonua musical Mike,Mark,Anny McCraig en coris. Todo. Maravilloso.❤!

I miss the classic lineup....Mark and Mike are still on top of their game right here. Great performance -the whole band.

This was always a brilliant but massively under rated band. I’d go see them anywhere!

Caramba que baixo foda!! Que versão ao vivo fantástica, melhor que do estúdio!

Probably one of my favourites top hits of the band!!💖💥

That comment is exactly what I want to hear , as it means great music & the playing is being passed down from 1 generation to the next , as I never thought that I & all of us would see the day that the Music Industry was all but dead & flatlined at the end of the 90s & as when the year 2000 we saw a drastic loss in anyone willing to try & make it as a solo artist or in a band but I think there was more going on than just seeing less people playing as a lead singer & musician... I honestly never thought I'd see this actually happen as we all thought Music & Music Industry would always be there for us & each new decade saw an innumerable amount of new acts joining in & trying to beat those for the Number 1 possition against those who'd been in the Music Scene your many years... No disrespect meant towards covers bands , as it was always a good way to earn money , but trying to break into the Music Industry was were many wanted to do but because of all those innumerable amount of acts could see new acts having to do even more to try & be signed & many great musicians I knew dropped that way of trying to be successful & went to play in covers bands , as they knew they had a steady line up of Live Gigs being arranged & the extra money was better than no money at all... Even though there were covers bands out when the Music Industry was still a huge money making machine that saw an almost endless supply of new acts that could see them do great within the Music Industry but not anymore & though I'll admit that there are some who would've out now that could see them being signed when the Music Scene was already overloaded with acts already... But at least there were those willing to take many jobs on any given day to see them raise cash to fund their solo acts or bands & it could mean a long hard & difficult life to go on the road to promote themselves & become successful , but that's all gone now as well , & I never saw this the monumental drop in solo acts & bands coming , as we all thought the Music Industry would never die & that there was always going to be an endless supply of new acts but obviously something within the Music Industry must have been wrong or this wouldn't have happened... Now we're spoon fed so called acts on car crash TV Shows that predominantly only wants to , if possible , make a single act make it in today's Music Scene... Just to give you a taste of how bad it has become it only takes a solo act or band to reach a Number 1 Song by selling 10,000 copies were as it used to be millions that saw acts go to the top & reach a Number 1 Single... At least I can leave on a positive since knowing this kid is now 13 years young & listens to Level 42 & having this passed down from generation to generation will hopefully see the music will always be with us... .....

Mark's bass sound was the best it ever sounded with these first-generation Alembic Mark King Signature basses. I still love the Cocobolo. I got to demo the 5-string version once. Major neck dive saved me from seriously considering the still-considerable "used" price. I've always wondered if the 4-string version had any neck dive at all. Never had a chance to try that one. Great video. Thanks for posting.

I'm revisiting this music because it reminds of how talented Mark and company was and how much I miss this music today. Is there anything like this today? Not really anything like it of it's time to be honest. Rare to have a Bass Player like Mark with thumb slapping chops as a lead man that can sing while laying down difficult bass-lines. I'm having TEARS of JOY. Peace

This is one of my favorite songs . By Kevel 42. This tells a story of a CAUTIONARY TALE!!!!.

to see them play this live - in person - was a dream of mine. they never made it minnesota as far as I know. darn.

"And you can see you're on tele tonight" on a 1931 Baird "Televisor" television set, hence the square picture .

Klasse Live Version. Brilliant

So guilty of not appreciating how damn amazing this band were back in the day. Wish I had seen them live, would have had plenty of chances back then.

Forever respect for the musicianship and pure talent ❤️ Thank you ❤️

This songs immediately puts me good jubilant mood instantly, I dunno why.

Amazing song realy love it , remind me old beautiful days i miss

Mark and Mike are both some of the best musicians of all time, I love them lots. ✌️☺️

Wow! Isn’t it amazing to see true musicianship in pop music! I remember this on VHS back in 93. Wonderful band! I have seen them nine times live. They always deliver quality. Nice one guys. M

This stuff is tripe , but that first album..oh my ,that can hold its own with any of the jazz crowd .

Cuando el bajo además es el vocal... eso tiene mérito musical añadido. Un bateria formidable, guitarra, teclado impecables... Super Level!!!

Not enough tribute given to the former member's that made you what you are Mark !

THAT bass tone

Awesome performance 😎

Unbelievable.

at the start of the song he bends down . Is he making an adjustment to whatever hardware below him to get the Jaco Pastorius effect ?

I guess they videotaped this song in a format for us people who had small, square screen tvs : - )

Brilliant band

Legends period.

Goodness me. Oh they were good. Still are!

So Great Level 42 for ever !!!
