LEVEL 42
I went to a Level 42 gig on Monday night. I had forgotten just what talented musicians they are and in particular, Mark King is just an absolutely
legendary bass guitar player!
Anyone else a fan?

Me too. Had big respect for them after doing the 24 hr race at Mondello against them. They were in the pit next to us. Good guys.

How are we going to eat and what floor's the restaurant on? Answer - The Chinese Way and Level 42
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Yes.
It's like a dirty secret almost these days.
He's some player.
If I can drop into muso speak for a minute.
I've had a Jaydee Mark King, when they were £796 quid in the early 80s.
Also owned 3 Status basses, one of which had LEDs in the neck.
And a trace elliot stack too.
Can you tell I'm a fan.
I can also do the bass thing, a little.

Mark King can't read music though. Proof on the youtube link below. Probably some of the best TV I have ever seen.....

Absolutely amazing! Got into them a few years back (I daren't count....) and can't get enough of their brilliant 80's slap bass!
As it happens, it's my birthday in a few weeks, and I managed to get tickets to see them in Southend as I missed their tour last year.
Can't wait!

Saw them back in the 80's.
Matching Mark King slap that Bass in pitch darkness with the red LED lit neck was something else.
Its one of those concerts I will never forget! That along with the Jean Michel Jarre last Saturday at the MEN... wasn't too impressed at the
time but following the concert I realise I was jaded due to Oulton Park BSB Final... I even managed to get a little footage (Video was banned until
the last song... :mad
Take a peek at my 1080 footage if you like:

Just to make me feel young - My Dad had one of their albums, me and my bro used to like listening too though. We were only about 10 but I think its
things like that that led to my eclectic music preferences.

One of the best bass players on the planet, and sings as well (and I am well qualified being a bass player myself). Was not aware they were still
going... will see if I can get a ticket.

'Thunder thumbs' is definately one of the world's top five bass players.

Here you go. A couple of (badly scanned) snaps of some of the Level 42 guys enjoying their motorsport. IIRC it was '92.
