Pure talent and entertainment, not much of this calibre of musicians left these days, the best line up too. Rest in peace Boon, amazing guy! I was 18 in 1983 and saw Level 42 live for the first time it was fantastic. That whole era of packing in concerts and nightclubs shoulder to shoulder meeting others every night of the week if we chose! those were the best days of my life. Changed days and changed society now in 2021 we are truly living in an abnormal time. No more natural mixing in crowds, our youngsters are sadly being brought up in a different situation to what we had the pleasure to experience and love.

I'm same age as you mate ..saw Level 42 live six times during the eighties well into the jazz funk scene .....wedge haircut , pixie boots , ox blood jacket ...electric blue mk3 Ford cortina with funk vehicle on the back 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we were very lucky as we caught the music of the 70s the advent of punk , ska , two tone , new wave , synth bands ( went to see the Human League in 1982 ) ......and the clubbing and pubbing in Suffolk and Essex .....I feel sorry for my kids and grandkids they will never know those simple and happy times ,......

For me, it's all about the Gould brothers. Cool as hell! Phil always looked a chiller, while Boon had a mystical vibe. Brilliant keyboard solo from Mike!

Here is a band on top of their form and knew well how to entertain the audience, before the mainstream pop started to prevail over the funk/black vibes in their music. Thankfully we can still watch them on video as they used to be in the early Eighties.

Level 42 are just the absolute greatest but in this track I just crack up at Mark's face when he says he's going to dance and he does! lol. How he plays and dances is beyond me. The man's pure talent is unfathomable!!!

Absolutely great, how Mark jumps around on the stage while he is playing on the bass at the same time. And he hits the notes to the hundredth of a second without looking at the instrument and his fingers. Unbelievable!

He probably inspired more guys (and the occasional girl) to play Bass than any other musician in the 80s.. their original album is still I'd say within my top 5 albums in any music genre.

My understanding is that the Gould brothers wrote most of the lyrics but, having listened to a recent Mike Lindup interview which included him giving a brief description about the impressive lives and careers of his parents, I wonder if Mike wrote these lyrics, with the first few lines possibly about his incredible mother Nadine.

Daft Punk or Calvin Harris should cover this with T-Pain singing. IMHO, the vocals would thoroughly dominate with much grooviness after being run through the auto-tuner . . .
