ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME they played this!! Haha. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JBass42]

Buddy Pearson sounds so good live mate

[@george00719]

agreed finally a gig list I can love

[@JBass42]

G W it was fantastic, most of the obvious hits but enough rarer and instrumental stuff to keep the hardcore fans happy

[@denisegilliam-sweet8116]

Right. I love this song. Sadly I live in the wrong side of the pond. 😥

[@bradparker6156]

Damn right. I've scoured the net for 2 decades in search of a live performance of this excellent piece, and hallelujah, here it is...... finally....

[@aqiusify]

My fav song..thank's

[@pc2908]

Gawd! I love the bass depth of this recording!!!!

[@JBass42]

I remember doing it , blimey 5 years ago !

[@livemusicalgarve]

Thanks for posting this video, L42 been a massive part of my life, so many great times listening to these guys.

[@JBass42]

adam bunney same here and I was lucky to tell mark and mike that too 😀

[@hibble329]

I've looked at every posting of this song for this tour. Love it, love it. I'm so glad so many people recorded and posted it. The lyrics speak volumes.

[@justMe-rd4sw]

Brilliant to hear live, love this song 👌🏻

[@JBass42]

just Me getting a lot of views this one, they should have played it years ago! So far mine seems the best quality

[@ceetee21]

I agree

[@anthonynichols5266]

Been a fan since 85. Level live

[@JBass42]

Same here, I remember my dad buying World Machine !

I love this song! Thanks for sharing...

[@Schumanized]

Such an awsome song!!

[@JBass42]

Can't disagree 😁

[@bernlin2000]

So lovely, Level 42 is the best!! Edit: Really appreciate Pete's drumming on this song, really enunciating the moments :-)

[@DisneyworldRon]

Good to hear this classic level 42 song live

[@level2442]

The thing that i think Mark is unbeatable is that after 30 years he can take an old song out from the box and play it effortlessly sometimes even better.......! Tons of talent there.... (The Machine Stops 2009 Live in Holland another perfect example).

[@JBass42]

Will always be my bass hero and a nice fella to boot. Had a lovely chat and man hug after the gig!

[@level2442]

@@JBass42 I agree Jonannlou ,Nice Guy !

[@TheSimplygoodmusic]

Hope they start playing this at all the live shows class song deserves to be on set list. Starchild still my fav 42 song

[@JBass42]

Hopefully the next your will be like this one, with a set list geared towards real fans rather than just the hits

[@paullemay5362]

One of my many favorites from L42. Thanks for posting this. :)

[@JBass42]

I put it on in the hotel the night of the gig, had to share it !

[@johnrichardson5713]

This is a killer track, what a band!!

JOHN RICHARDSON what I’ve been telling people since I was 8 !

[@delvecks3921]

Great video quality and a steady hand! thanks for sharing

[@JBass42]

Del Vecks I tried my best! Difficult when they’re playing not to move

[@mexton]

My favorite band!

[@kolbola]

This Status T bass is finally sounds very great and very bass-like :)

[@jameswhite7997]

At last after a few years he's playing a bass that sounds like a bass!

[@muppetrowlf1473]

oh those Trace Elliot memories. Rob Green Status keeps the dream alive. Wish the bugger would do a left hooker though.

[@rodguitarezz3482]

Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted to see this song performed live.

[@juliemadden4348]

Amazing mark & mike ❤❤

[@Generalbas1972]

wow never seen that one live before, so cool cheers :)

Funkmaster K my pleasure, amazing gig, they were on fire

[@alvarcoma7058]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

Yes Bonus track..Wicked.

[@level2442]

Amazing Mark.....finally they did it live ! Can't go wrong playing the old stuff. A Status bass that finally sounds like a Jaydee ! ;-)

[@rayboyle7611]

Nice One Jon Boy !!!!

[@thesuncollective1475]

Pro quality recording thx

[@JBass42]

thesun collective147 came out ok considering it was done in my my iPhone 6 s plus!

[@andrewmcgregor9915]

perfect

[@khaz606]

I haven't seen them since the 00's because they seemed to keep playing the same tunes and I didn't like Marks twangy bass sound. Now Mark has sorted out his sound and they've dusted off tunes like Sandstorm, Heathrow and this I might buy a ticket in 2020. I would love Mike to sing Weave Your Spell instead of Starchild for 2020 :). Thanks for the upload.

[@JBass42]

My pleasure, this years set was so much better, I saw them at an 80’s do and it was just the hits which while that was enjoyable wasn’t what a die hard fan wants to hear!

[@khaz606]

@@JBass42 Hehehe. I've got this on loop while i'm working. It sounds like Mark forgot a few lines around 3:00. I've been playing bass for years and it's only earlier this year that I learnt this one. I like to think my energy traveled to them. Hahaha. I've got a couple of good quality early concert videos on my channel if you wanna check out the OG line up. Thanks again, you've really made my day.

[@JBass42]

khaz606 I’ve still not worked this one out!!

[@khaz606]

@@JBass42 Yeah, it sounds tricky. I think that's why I never tried to learn it until recently. Try singing the bassline as you try to learn it. I've found that helps. Another tricky sounding Brit Funk one i've learnt recently is Take Your Time (Ultimate Mixx) by Roy Hamilton. I think you'll like it if you don't know it already.

[@davecoalwood9487]

khaz606 just checked your channel ( is that the right terminology? ?) Level and The Dan! - Quality.

[@scottmarquis7624]

Their most under stated album track, great to hear live. Wish Pete could be more subtle at times, but great footage...

[@JBass42]

He has calmed down alot, but can lack the subtlety of Gould and Husband on occasions

[@bernlin2000]

@@JBass42 I've certainly appreciated him more since watching the Sirens live material from 2015: I think at the 30th anniversary he had a tendency to butcher some of the slower songs (I simply can't watch his performance of "It's Over" compared to Gary's Holland 2009 show, which is just a totally perfect drumming performance of that song). He did pretty good here, until they start picking up in the last third of the song :-)

[@JBass42]

@@bernlin2000 he's definitely matured into the drum seat for 42, without doubt he is an amazing drummer, and I suppose like MK had to, he started to over play less, not that that's a string point of Mark, but that's why we live his playing, alot of the 42 material is geared around Marks playing, and I found early on PRG almost conflicted the rhythm but being OTT.

[@richardgordon9939]

does anyone know what make bass mark is using?

[@JBass42]

Here it was the Status T Bass

[@bluefunkybassman]

BRILLIANT! Cheers! Did they also do Sandstorm?

[@JBass42]

Steve Richer yes Steve, I’ll be listing it later today 😇

[@bluefunkybassman]

Fantastic thanks!!

[@JBass42]

Steve Richer it’s on now

[@richrd4739]

I've been waiting so long for this track live! Thank you! amazing! (however, is it me, or do you get the impression Mark is scared / uneasy about playing this song? - if so why?)

[@JBass42]

richrd harmony vocal sections are pretty tough? Maybe it was just one he couldn’t hear transferring to live well? We’ll never know!

[@richrd4739]

for sure, as he might say! So glad they are finally playing it, one of the songs I've been waiting to hear live for years from the world machine album (coup d' etat the other). and very happy now! I can't wait to see them on Tuesday in Guildford! love his new bass, seen it earlier this year at Sarla. (Fantasy now - (I'm not a musician) but how cool would a status - jaydee hi-bred be? call it JD-Status MK1?))

[@JBass42]

richrd I asked Mike if they can do Coup D Etat next time !! You’ll love your gig, they are on prime form

[@richrd4739]

it's my birthday 06.10.73 so I have a reason to up at this time of the day, why the hell are you up??? thank you all the same, can't wait!

Birmingham version was better. I'll tell you why- I was there!

[@fabiosacilotto9434]

[@rapturekevin]

Ok i been trying to find that sound in my bass since the 80's . I hear Flange and delay. Any bass players know how he gets that sound????

[@JBass42]

30-90 strings, chorus, Yamaha e1010 delay unit and Trace Elliot stack. The Jaydee bridge pick ups are p's which definitely shapes the sound

[@rapturekevin]

@@JBass42 Thanks for the info on the effects. I use a fender jazz . Jaydee bases are hard to come by in Canada. In fact I have never seen one nor Level 42 live. I did not know the bridge was a "p" pickup on the j.d. As for Trace Elliot its hard to find as well. I had a t.c. but sold it and got a Hartke. I'll see if i can find that sound. Cheers!

[@JBass42]

@@rapturekevin have a look for a Vox Standard bass, cheap and definitely has a Jaydee twang, check out my videos with me playing my dad's one 😁

[@michaeldean7220]

Would love to turn up and they don't play a single track from Running in the Family! More early stuff is the way forward.

[@JBass42]

Can't disagree mate, but it seems to be what alot of the crowd still, that's when they get up and dance

[@michaeldean7220]

@@JBass42 Yes that's the real dilemma they have. They might not like admitting hit but to get the punters in they do have to do a pretty much ' greatest hits' set. Saw them in Brighton last Oct and the highlights for me were ' Floating Life' and ' Good Man in a Storm'. If they reeled off half dozen songs from the earlier jazz funk stuff the 70% of the audience would just sit there. Shame.

[@JBass42]

@@michaeldean7220 agreed, I recorded those and Sandstorm from memory. The band cones alive when they go for it on the old tracks, hopefully the new stuff will be a hint and what they can really do as musicians not just songwriters

[@42bass]

Great !👍
