Level 42 - Something About You (Eternity Tour 2018)

[@williampeck7879]

Playing bass singing in chewing gum all at the same time this man is a machine kudos

[@cosmogoy1895]

YES !!! 😄

[@B1GK1NG]

It’s a great technique. I use it when I sing. The gum keeps your throat moist.

[@sandraatkinson]

You got that right

[@heythere135]

@@B1GK1NG Really? That’s awesome I didn’t know that. I have experienced dry throat that makes me want to constantly clear it when singing. I wondered why I’ve always seen Mark chewing gum…thought it was just a habit, didn’t know it actually served a purpose.

[@B1GK1NG]

@@heythere135 yeah it’s awesome. Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters does the same thing. You should try it.

[@echobasestudios]

God damn keyboardist sounds as awesome now as he did in the 80s, unreal.

[@LinneaSanchez]

Right!!!

[@griseldadenerval4994]

Mike Lindup's falsetto is unbelievable! Time stood still for him!

[@bradlafferty6076]

Mine too

[@samsterling1462]

Reminds me of Art Garfunkel w/ those falsetto notes

[@pegoconnell5193]

👍love it

[@mantanbiduan6953]

Yeah, it's so new wave falsetto ✨✨✨✨✨

[@mdwayne741]

Definitely....so smoothe his voice.

[@seizethedayandlive]

What kind of black magic is this? How can they still sound so good?!? Ha! Love it!

[@brucesmith9144]

Brass section really added wonderful timbre to the song.

[@honchochief]

Love the 80's, there were so many super bands Amen!

[@LordEradicus]

How can a band sound even better than they did more than 30 years ago? Amazing...

[@onewoman4274]

AMAZING!!!! INDEED!

[@MrTenyearsafter07]

That was literally my first thought- I was watching the recording of this from Wembley in 86 so I clicked on this thinking that it would be okay and interesting to see how they sounded now and what you usually expect is some fade and a little less energy and the second they started the song I said to myself holy f****** s***

[@KennyEvansUK]

They have defo got better and better with age.

[@stylez893]

One reason and one word. Talent.

[@stacyhackney6100]

Practice.

[@allenhebert6611]

I wish they had a stationary camera over the drummer. This guy is freakin’ awesome!

[@Tommy71998]

MARK YOU STILL GOTS IT BRO

[@edwardloomis887]

Brings back memories of standing in smoky dance clubs in West Berlin in the mid-1980s.

[@BruceLee-zd9bw]

Playing bass as good as he does is one thing, but to sing aswell just makes him extra special. Mark king without doubt is the best Bassist ever.🎸

[@ianevans8406]

Yes , Yes Yes Mark King Is The Worlds Best Bass Player and Why Is He Picked Every Year For The Princess Trust House Band ? Because He's The Best

[@sodd1000]

And not only that but he loves chewing gum!

[@Tjoppy]

Indeed. And even more special is the fact is that his basslines and vocals are completely different melodies. That takes a very high level of musical intelligence.

[@BruceLee-zd9bw]

@@Tjoppy Absolutely 100%

[@fernandohenriquecarvalhosi7104]

@American Hero thing is, mark king was the one who created all of these bass lines. I believe there is no "absolute bassist" out there, but even your friends played these bass lines, could they create them? I find Mark King to be an awesome bass player, and really good singer 🙏🤟

[@mitchmartin2659]

Exceptionally tight after all these years. Hardly surprising for a band being lead by the incomparable Mark King.

[@JasonRasberry-tu3tj]

Mark King has to be from another planet. He makes it look so effortless. Excuse me while I burn all my gear and get a paper route. 🙁

[@boomerdoell6922]

In 1985-1986 Mark King was named the best steel bass player in the world!

[@jennifernunez1593]

No wonder I have a crush on him 🥰

[@TracyGreenwood]

He is truly amazing, isn't he?

[@steffomca762]

It's a shame that nowadays they're still big, but mostly in England and not that much anywhere else

[@dsrarch]

I was so glad to see them live in London in 1991 in front row

[@brentamador171]

I love when bands don’t lose their sound or voices, the fact they carried both through the decades is amazing

[@acetylcoa6540]

How the F you able to play a groove like that while singing... crazy skills, Mark King is from another planet.

[@puma55792]

They sound incredibly like the original recording from 30yrs ago, still got it,

[@arthurbrown2567]

How the hell did these guys only have two hits in the U.S.? Best band to come from the UK in the 80s BY A MILE!!!!

[@nab1uk]

The best base player ever,! Mark king level 42 great tunes funky music 🎶

[@SailorNatsu10]

Yeah yuh!

[@sunshinefogleman127]

Oh, my nostalgia! I've loved this song for so long. I was only 10 years old when it was released; I heard it one day on my momma's kitchen radio, and I was hooked. We didn't have much money, certainly not enough for me to afford to buy the album, so I would wait ever so patiently by the radio day after day until I was able to record it onto a cassette tape. Thanks for the great music

[@ncvman]

Bass and drummer really good. Damn!

[@gavinthomas5802]

They get better with every year that passes

[@mildredsoler2031]

Mark King one of the best bass guitar player and I love his vocals the man has a great voice.

[@jfrockon]

Mr.King is a musical monster. They should have been far bigger then they were. Actual mad talent in a pop band. Something we could use today.

[@allenhebert6611]

Awesome! Love the drummer too! I’ve watched a few videos of this song and there’re awesome! One of my favorite songs!

[@bernlin2000]

Their sound matures like a fine wine, just incredible!! My favorite L42 song as a kid and still is today!

[@bradlafferty6076]

I'll drink to that

[@beverlykrebs4372]

There's something about you Mark King! I was 23 when you released this song in the 80s...I fell in love with it - and you! My 23 year old self would have run off with you in a heartbeat! Well, I still would!💜

[@gonzalofernandez1511]

Beautiful, I Loved the 80's 🌴🤸❤️

[@michaelquast7001]

A lot of great bass players out there. Billy Sheehan, Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, Verdine White, Bootsy Collins, John Entwistle et al. However there is ONLY ONE that can sing, chew bubblegum and shred at the same time and his name is MARK KING!!!!!!

[@keeponcruisin7876]

Les Claypool doesn't get a mention?

[@haro82]

McCartney is another.

[@tessasweet5792]

L-O-V-E that He's chewing gum🎉while singing & playing! How Fun!!!🎶✨💕

[@Farewelltokingz]

Geddy Lee and Mark are multitasking gods

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@keeponcruisin7876les is just an ok singer. Don’t get me wrong, bass wizard. But his vocals are kinda just nasally comical none sense

[@Whatt787]

Timeless, beautiful

[@ZOHARW1]

תענוג אחד גדול .

[@marisolmagana9644]

This was music, good music!! Where have they all gone??

[@Zach_Beebe]

Best song from the best decade.

Awesome... please come to America!!!!

[@Phoenixhunter157]

Mark Lindup’s harmonies gives me chills. It’s just so perfect.

[@MarkMediaPhoto]

great bass guitar

[@dancox4882]

A lot of peeps don't know this amazing bass player, lyricist & drummer is actually left handed!!

[@macdaddybill]

Wow great version! I can't believe this song is 35 years old this year. I am feeling old now!

[@mariasweeting7787]

Thank goodness he didn’t chock on his gum!. Brilliant performance ❤

[@orlandosoto6080]

One in a million 🤷‍♂️

[@davidrice5433]

My God, how can they be better now, after all this time?!? This song made me feel ecstatic and melancholic all at once back in the 80's. The song, and Level 42 still rock after all these years, but sadly the melancholy is what I feel most now--the grief for what is gone and will never come again...

[@Thetruuuuuth]

Love Level 42!!! Drummer got mad skills!!!! 💣

[@gustafsone]

That would be Pete Ray Biggin and he is, indeed, a beast! He has his own band called "PB Underground (PBUG)" and while I don't think they have done much in recent years, there are quite a few videos you can find on KZbin. This one is probably my favorite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6u1YniYnL-Zba8

They have their shit together! Very tight!

[@brucep9729]

Mike and Mark are legendary dudes. Absolutely nailed it!

[@charlie-girl72]

Mark genius! I'm 47 and from a musicians family, I saw them live back in 1984, with dad, uncle and a housefriend from my folks.. it was the most amazing sound and style I've ever heard! Can't wait to see them live again after so many years in the Netherlands! Love send to all!😎🖤🖤🖤🎼🎚🎸🎷🎹

Best bass guy ever. To sing and play the bass with no picks? That’s not easy.

[@asdfghjklkjhvbvcvjhvlyhb9957]

Mark King and John Entwistle best two bass players in rock pop

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

Amazing live performance!

[@RealDocJames]

The rap break is totally under-rated. I know they don't always do it, but was nice to see it in this version.

[@Mister006]

How do they keep getting better?!?!!

[@GodblessAmerica617]

Mark king is a beast

[@babygerald4645]

These guys deserved to be way bigger in the US- this and 'Lessons In Love' were about all we got on radio. They sound better here than the recordings. So hoping to catch them live some day.

[@haroldmorgan7381]

Still sounds GOOD after all these years !

[@charlesberlinguette4709]

So well performed, the playing is so tight.

[@NinoMillenium]

MASTER BASS

[@littlethings33]

There is something about this....amazing!

[@treblenote2]

Mark King is SUPER HUMAN!!!

[@vibing_positive_feels]

It's amazing that either of them sound exactly like they did back in 1985.

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

WOW... even better than when it first came out...

[@richardgarrett5322]

Great song (don't overlook the lyrics with Level 42), great musicians, great bass player. That drummer always floors me. Always looks like a adolescent doofus, but that boy can PLAY!

My favourite song. ❤

[@debrawilliams7983]

The lead singer has a beautiful British accent! 😍😍😍

[@BennyboyTruth]

How can these guys sound even better than they did in the 80s?! Pete's skills on drums put a whole new spin on these absolute classic anthems

[@BennyboyTruth]

Just a shame Pete's kit sounds a bit poo on this particular mix, whereas it "sings" beautifully at the Lugano gig

[@gbcrowne271]

Great job! They sound tight, their voices still sound amazing and Mark’s bass playing is masterful!

[@iansherwood5357]

Wunderbar!!!! The most professional gum chewer ever!!!

[@marcoazevedo3608]

Oh my! This is amazing! Remember my young times. Thank you for that.

[@albertthefish3683]

Mark King on that bass......just Wow!! *LEGEND*

[@austinreid5032]

I saw them in Bath a few weeks ago. Musically the whole band are great. But to see one if not the best bass player in the world was brilliant

[@heidichristensen7919]

I’m so thankful for KZbin. I saw Level 42 a couple times back in the 80s at a bar here in Seattle. Mark is a beast, and Mike’s voice is still stellar.

[@wvkoi5675]

Those lights in the bass fretboard are dope!

[@elizabethmcleod246]

The song that made me listen. Great tune. Stellar band.

[@davidwelsford3189]

Same for me - Vancouver, summer of 1985. Remember it like it was yesterday. Album after album it was a great discovery.

[@markduncan6690]

The Gritty Drummer really brings this band home!

[@geminidreamatl26]

omg they sound exactly the same 36 years later!!!

[@franckdebank]

Nope actually they sound cleaner with vocal pitch correction

[@clementdavidv]

Such a tight performance

[@Simon-nn4kf]

Mark king , the only guy to play bass like a lead guitar , I am so glad the 80s was my era .

[@stupedkiteh]

I watch a lot of live L42 videos and the group vocals by everyone really stand out
