Have 32 different CD's and 13 DVD's. There are still amazing like they were back in 1989 and 1992 when I saw them Live and got their Autograph's. Amazing Group will always love them! Love the lights on Mark Kings Bass guitar.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

I agree. Mark's luminous bass looks great on stage.

[@philboyce1582]

41 years and still going, absolutely brilliant rendition of one of my favourites

[@nikolaveskovic5723]

2021. Still grooving

[@simeonbanner6204]

Really good on the drums there. Living up to Phil's legacy.

[@user-hz2hp9wq2h]

Greetings from Kansas City! Love this song! Proudly, I am the grandson of a Kansas City Bread Man - it’s as close as it gets!

[@haryohardiyanto9746]

Love to watch Mr King's bass playing, singing, and gum chewing. Great band!!

[@cristianporcu543]

Fantastic...One of the strongest bands ever, fantastic drummer, Mark King is from another planet, the rest of the band would like them as my best friends.Th y for all

[@iloveesr]

This is great. It sounds like the version on Physical Presence. One of my favourite songs of all time.

[@hannahstaelens6873]

Mindblowing… this song drives me nuts and gives me Wings... thanks Mark ! Keep going mate !

[@greattunesking1]

Yes, The Bass line and the harmony that they create is a really amazing thing. You can literally Fly with Wings while listening to them. No other band sounds like this!

[@lindlindharthnielsen9594]

The drummer👍👍👍👍

[@MST785]

On fire and on point.

[@wiltner]

Pete Ray Biggin. He also plays with Incognito. He’s brilliant.

[@EsromFF]

So he plays bass, sings AND chew gum = Most impressive !

[@hdestotallyunoriginalgamin3555]

Not only that - sometimes he also wears aviator shades. He's THAT cool.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Always thought this was a hidden gem. Loved the throbbing bass line

[@edwardpinto1544]

One of the most underrated bands ever. No doubt. Really great. My favorite band to listen to by far.

[@jameswhite7997]

On headphones that bass still sounds perfection.

[@elecoestudioficial]

The typical song that sounds simple, but it`s really hard to play with that flow on the groove and specially with those arrangements. Superb.

[@nataliegarrett7378]

Brilliant tune

[@davecoalwood9487]

Hi Natalie. Did You used to have anything to do with the Fan Club back in the day?

Uuh! Physical Presence on heavy rotation on my turntable 'in those old days', thanx for your fantastic songs (and bass-playing)!

[@greattunesking1]

Physical Presence Live in Concert or, On the turntable is a journey into heaven for sure.

[@paolodugini4690]

Fenomenale Mark King e grandi Level 42

[@WildWildWeasel]

Love how it's got just a sprinkle of "The Sun Goes Down"'s intro haha

[@MrWillyCC]

One of the best bands ever! But they only got credit for a couple pop songs, once they conformed.

[@michaelb.42112]

And they STILL kick ass !!!!!

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

@@michaelb.42112 Too right they do!

[@lepecqbenoit4738]

Without Mike Lindup, no Level 42. Impulse and impact by using keyboards at the right time. And melodies surrounding Mark's play. Real tangible presence and real stories with minimal notes, combined like pearls.

[@davecoalwood9487]

True Mate. Wasn't the same when Mike wasn't touring.

[@glavius67]

Mike is here anyway…

[@dejanhasecic9124]

Timeless❤

[@woodzmusik6697]

Simply on another level!! Mark King Singing and playing bass live is just as good as the album ...And his band is completely airtight... Excellent sound engineering and mixing!!!

[@cham397]

Great drummer

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

Peter Ray Biggin was (and still is) a superfan of the group, who idolised original drummer Phil Gould and is strongly influenced by Phil's playing. Pete is also a terrific drummer in his own right, though.

[@cham397]

@@stephenalanmoore7278 Thank you so much.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

@@cham397 My pleasure.

[@johndoyle1810]

This song has a lovely middle section,the open e ,i would love to hear it four times around instead of twice

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

what a bass sound!!

[@markruthel5721]

Oh wow!! What a funky rendition. Just awesome!!

[@stevenbrown6324]

My first Level 42 Album was "Level 42". My first g to see them was Rock City Nottingham but I thought there is no way they can reproduce that sound LIVE.................HELL they did and it was fantastic and every L42 gig I've been to has been excellent........PA sound, vocals and musicianship etc chuffing great. Love you guys loads and thanks for the music.

God Damn .... I saw them a couple of years a ago in Brum ... If they had played this then ... I could died happy ;)

[@172Break]

They are playing it on the current tour.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

They have just announced new tour dates for 2023, so why not check out their official website to find out whether any of them will be near you?

[@nobodynevermind583]

Nice, haven't heard KC Milkman live before now. Used to play that one a lot on my ole vinyl copy of True Colours back in the day. Think it's got a nice groove going on. Makes me think of Stanley Clarke for some bizarre reason, tho I suppose it doesn't really sound like him, haha! Oh well, thanks very much for sharing! :) Oh, just dug out my old 'A Physical Presence' live double album today for the first time in many years. I'd completely forgotten this song was on it, and what a fine live album it is.

[@davecoalwood9487]

Great live album that eh. Great Band. Stanley was a tad handy too eh?. Have a Cracking Weekend Mate.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

The entire 'Physical Presence' album is still available to buy on a remastered double CD from 2000 and includes all thirteen tracks that were on the original vinyl and cassette editions. The first CD version from 1985 had three songs missing for timing reasons, as it was only issued on a single CD.

[@achenarmyst2156]

Anyone who is still sorry for Phil having left, listen to Pete’s pocket on this one.

[@davecoalwood9487]

Agreed. Pete is a monster but who wouldn't love to see Phil back with the boys? Shame We'll never see the original Fab 4 back together. My 1st Level gig was 88 so unfortunately I'll never see the proper boys live. Still a sublime live band though as this video proves. Cheers Mate. 👍

[@michaelb.42112]

THIS SO RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@denyhandani6305]

Good Bass

[@frankfiedler8488]

[@garys1266]

Number one bass player in the world is Mark King a distant second is Sting followed by Billy Sheehan.

[@gorber81]

Twin brother plays guitar?

[@alanpresford1606]

JohnLoydon younger brother

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

Nathan King is a full ten years younger than his big bro.

[@trulyuk]

Mike sings the chorus better .. Mark should leave that part to mike. Apart from that, amazing song and true colours the album it came off is outstanding

[@derekhannah9763]

Please someone tell me what this song is about ?Is it about a serial killer ?

[@hdestotallyunoriginalgamin3555]

I appreciate this is a comment from months back, but just in case you never got an answer, or for the benefit of anyone else who's curious... 'Kansas City Milkman' is an occasionally used term for somebody who simply swallows everything that comes through the news media without question. At least, that's the context in this song. I've also heard it used to describe someone who's generally just a bit on the unintelligent side.

[@thierryjosephau6833]

Sea bass

[@66meikou]

Soz. Not as good as the original

[@thewomble1509]

WTF does that mean? Not as good as the record version? Get a musical education then start posting sensible comments you div.
