I have played bass for many many years, and let me tell you this,, to play is one thing, but to play and sing is another... I can't even begin to tell you how difficult it would be to sing and play such an intricate and busy bass line like Mark king is playing in this song. He is from another planet. Total respect to a legend. I salute you. ✊👏👏👏👏👏🙏

This video is as good as it gets: Very nice place, nice quality video and audio, a very good band able to play their song like champs, everything is in there! Kudos Level 42! The only sad thing, never had the chance to saw them live: They came very near me at "Festival d'été de Québec" in 2019 but couldn't go... just hope they'll come back sooner than later!

I met both Mike and Mark in the green room at the Croydon gig. Did we talk about the music, no we talked about ordernary stuff. With Mike we talked about his mum living near to us. With Mark we talked about age. Forget the important number being 42. In Marks head he is still 23 and so is his dad. Two such lovely guys who took the time to talk about everyday stuff. Btw when I was 23 I was up to fabulous 4 albums with Stand in the Light and the first time I saw them live. So 23 is very important to me.

I'm saddened to see the 2020 COVID dates were never rescheduled... though I'm assuming ticket sales weren't strong enough for Australia so it just never happened, a damn shame, I would love to see this performed live. I hope a tour ensues down here one day. You've certainly got at least one new fan in Perth, Western Australia!
