Level 42 Mr. Pink Rockpalast 1984

nice version of the famous Mr. Pink instrumental with good bass sound

[@Generalbas1972]

What can i say...this is how we love Level42. MK on Jaydee, Phil on drums, Mike on keys and Boon on guitar...playing a classic Mr. Pink, as my friend Simon Cowbell would say. Absolutly loved it!

[@rogerblackwood8815]

Simon Cowbell, love it!!

[@beng1lh00ly]

Mike's solo is nothing short of amazing!

[@thesuncollective1475]

He's cooking, Mark was grooving too😮

[@Grichal1981]

Mark King is truly the Jimmy Hendrix of the bass guitar!

[@mopeddevil]

Lang ist es her, haben dieses Stück vor Jahren mal gecovert. War echt schwer machte aber ne menge Laune es zuspielen.

[@george00719]

Incredible key solo...nice to see him play it

[@korhansoydan]

This is unbelievable.

[@captaincomputaa]

Just the greatest thing ever!

[@swagmusic2011]

Mark is still the Terminator of bassguitarist :-)...Rulez ! Nr 1 !!! This song makes all of my body move..fantastic !!

[@AdrianDeVore]

That's one fierce bassist!

[@johndoyle1810]

Mr pink is just brilliant played by a special band

[@michaelofpetaluma]

This is just like the Early Tapes !! How cool is that !!!

[@TheMightyHartley]

lmw289: It's a Jaydee bass, made by John Diggins in the UK. Go to John's website; there's loads very comprehensive info there about the Jaydee basses Mark played.

[@TheBMW320cabrio]

Phil Gould was an assistant in a shop of printers lol Great version and MK is so wet!

[@nataliegarrett7378]

Haven't seen this before i love.it

[@Brandeena233]

Wow... That bass!

[@TheMightyHartley]

Yep, Phil Gould on drums :-)

[@rufuspage6210]

Awesome. RIP Boon

[@Maguirearch]

This reminds me so much Jeff Becks Album "Wired"

[@Grichal1981]

The definition of funky methinks.

[@806ironwolf]

this is great

[@milanmernjik4834]

best jazz funk ever like the shirts of mike and phil level 42 cosmic thing

[@lmw289]

Mark King and Mike Lindup Made this band the way it was. I'm not in any way trying to detract from the Gould brothers: they were awesome, too!!! I just can't understand why there are so many -6's to rate them. I've been a fan of Level 42 for over 20 years and will never shy away from being as such! Level 42 will always be awesome to me! Sorry if anybody dosen't think the same.

[@redfred70]

Brillliant - they were at the top of their game then.

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

I’m a fan, but find Mark King ‘aggressive’ on this: the tone, the posturing, the histrionics. This kind of performance left people divided at the time: and the band open to criticism. The Gould’s and Lindup were like patient investors, supporting the exploits (and collateral damage) of - a fire breathing dragon. But look at King now: he did get it right.

[@jameswhite7997]

I kind of get what your saying to be honest looking back...but you've got to agree it is extremely entertaining!

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

@@jameswhite7997 Very true.

[@briteize136]

What ever happened to shows like these..?! Nowadays we have to settle for Idols... :-(

[@barkon]

easily one of my favorite songs. What's interesting to me is comparing Les Claypool's style with Mark's. Les has such an economy of motion that he often seems to be not moving enough for all of the notes he's playing. Mark, on the other hand, is just flailing about it seems a wonder he has so much precision in his playing.

[@kaspaz433]

awesome

[@SamBAss42]

Nothing beats the sound of that Jaydee... apart from another Jaydee

[@Pheolax]

ooooooooooo thats FUNKY!

[@Duncanlance]

loool xD I had my problems to even spot him :D

[@mrvietcong1]

the best bassist mark king and victor wooten 4ewer

[@cwissiee]

Holy.

[@wyattdawg]

who is the tamborinest? that guy's skills are just sick.

[@SamBAss42]

3:50 - "No talking please!"

[@aristippedecyrene]

Phil Gould on drum ?

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

in the name of 50 sweating Daltons,that bass playing is unnatural

[@SSShops]

The guys are really jammin here... the original band does it best!!

[@beng1lh00ly]

But he makes it funky! Boon with anything but a LP is nothing short of immoral!

[@lmw289]

I know someone told me once before on here, but someone please tell me what kind of bass Mark's playing on this video? I know he's played Alembics. But, WHAT is playing in THIS video? Anybody?

[@thewomble1509]

A bit late but it was a Jaydee Supernatural. Jaydee are an English company founded by a man called John Diggins (JD). Interestingly, after years of playing Status Graphite basses, king has just gone back to Jaydee.

[@EsromFF]

mister pink eyes :p

[@vanopelli1]

I'm know I'm way off base, nevertheless somehow my mind flashed to Frank Zappa without all the verbal crappa.

[@spynae]

It's a JayDee

[@Kevindm215]

he looks a bit to happy!lol

[@Inzo42]

@hurry2014 Not on par. Stanley isn't all that. I have three of his albums and they're boring as hell. Any video of his I pull up on youtube he's just playing that same old riff from School Days- he's a one trick pony. He could never play what Mark just played up above. He has a reputation because he was one of the first slapper but I haven't really seen him do much with it.

[@aristippedecyrene]

@TheBMW320cabrio lol

[@lidesnowi]

To bad they went down the commercial path!

[@kresimirdobranic1682]

Stanley go home!

[@george00719]

more funk than j brown
