LEVEL 42 TRIBUTE ACT, MR PINK.

[@-alligata-software9020]

You guys really give Level 42 the most awesome tribute....Blessings

[@jameswhite7997]

As a bassist and huge L42 fan I'm always in awe of anyone who can play these basslines...and sing! Wow! total respect - it's far harder than people imagine. The lady on backing vocals is fantastic too!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks James. Nat on vocals is my (big!) Sister

[@YellowWalkman]

Exactly!

[@rayboyle7611]

Where have these been hiding WOW Such a clean sound Keep the level 42 vibe going guys.Fantastic.

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Ray!

[@stuartrobertson7082]

Highest compliment to give these guys are they are the best by a country mile. Going to see them live next week at Club 57 Dundee, can't wait to see them live, not sure if sold out but get your bums there.

[@sandyfinan317]

Fantastic band - all great players, a clever guitar player with all the chops he's worked hard for, well done lads / lass - Sandy ( Chain Ganger Dundee )

[@KeithRiley422]

What I love about this Chris is that you’re not trying to imitate Mark. You’ve been honest about your approach, but your harmonies work well with Natalie who has a terrific voice. Clearly a huge production effort into getting this to sound as good as it does, the result of which is one of the best tributes to L42 I’ve heard. Well done guys.

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Keith :) I can't imitate Marks vocals at all, my accent (Scottish) just makes it sound different. I thought best to just go for it and hope for the best. The production is by Graeme, the keyboard player and our sound engineer. He gets very good results very quickly - overall I think it was probably about 10 hours of studio time for the recordings. I'm lucky to be working with such good musicians!

[@brieziethirteen13]

Well said, Keith1810, couldnt agree more

[@sarwendah1]

I agree and this is the alternative way in performing these in duet version.

[@marcelmeijers]

I m very impressed! You guys are all good musicians. It s not easy, (believe me I know...lol) to pull this off. Great work!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks so much!

[@dunetune4288]

The more l listen to this the better it gets. Sounds great in my car. Top notch band. Wish l lived near to see you live.

[@interstate1049]

There's a real joy in this. And that's infectious. Thank you for the lockdown lift-up!

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers Paul, I'm glad it's done what it's meant to!

[@JBass42]

Sharing this on the new Facebook Level 42 forum I created. Level 42 - for all things 42

[@davewild2101]

Really good guys! Great that you are playing the early things too.. (From a MASSIVE Level42 fan for about the past 36 years!)

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Dave :)

[@johnmcintosh6880]

The Bootleg Beatles of Level 42! Sensational band, tons of work goes in so get along to where they are playing and support them. Top vocals from Chris, Nat & Leigh 👌

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks John!

[@musiquesdereve188]

Yes ! great medley , it's really good , I am happy to listening all these famous songs of this great band Level 42, I share this vidéo on my FB to show your musical work. Keep on playing so well ;)

[@Doc40Hz]

thank you :)

[@glynhind5266]

Excellent....I'm sure the real level 42 guys ,appreciate you guys just as well .

[@ultimatebasses]

Great renditions of Level 42. Even the basses are period correct.

[@spitpiloot]

Truly awesome Chris!!! What a formidable tribute! Hats off to you lot pal!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks man, hopefully we can get out and do some shows!

[@k2ashley]

I’m a long life Level fan and this is great . Wow ! Who’s the lady ? What a voice she has .

[@jaymay2081]

Love the fact that you are not doing a straight out impression of Level 42. This is your interpretation. Your singing is different from Mark and Mike- and brilliant for it. Your drummer’s hi hat work is amazing and emulates Phil Gould, without copying. Your are all amazing musicians. Bravo! Bloody good job!!!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks very much Joel, we've been working hard. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelb.42112]

Cover band or not, you guys are probably one of the best bands around, besides the original REAL FAB FOUR - Level 42. This is not easy stuff !!! I'd pay to see you in a heartbeat.

[@felixrobroich1803]

Greetings from Germany! Incredible, very great. Nice jaydee playin. Nice voice. Mikes Parts with voice from a woman, respect. Cool, i like it!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Felix :)

[@bassman258]

You are fantastic! Very close to the original ... Bass wow!!! I'll follow you from Italy with love!! Stay safe and strong. Leo

[@acimbobby]

Excellent performance of the songs made famous by the band (Level42) The name works well to, he was a milkman from Kansas City ? Even got the pink lighting....Very nice with the lady( Natalie ) singing Lindup's harmony parts. She is a very good singer and valuable part of the line up. I would double the length of any guitar solos played as you don't have a sax player I am a fan already and as a bass player this is not so easy to do AND sing. Hope you can take your band out to tour soon I am sure you are gonna be very popular. Bit of a bummer having to move to the I O W. Promoters should start to wake up soon

[@larryjonson3550]

Not a fan of tribute or cover band promoters myself mate. Maybe they are wide awake (;

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks very much Robert!

[@FunkyCosmicGirl]

Very nicely done, really enjoyed it especially the rarely covered Heaven In My Hands! We were planning our 2nd annual Level 42 tribute this weekend but unfortunately had to cancel due to this crazy virus. Greetings from California 😎🌴

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks so much. I hope we both can get gigging soon. Life is not the same without live music.

[@livemusicalgarve]

Awesome job guys, great production.

[@casienova]

Never heard this band before. But from today, I only can say a totally respect for this group. WOW very well played and sang guys!

[@pauldaniel6208]

Bravo! You have a new fan from all the way across the pond in Toronto Canada ;)

[@daverutherford273]

Loved it, and you managed to sneak in Heathrow at the end top stuff guys!! from someone who tries to do it...you guys ARE DOING IT....disparagers disperse!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Dave, that means a lot :)

[@robertmcshane1038]

Love it well done guys top quality 👍

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks very much Robert :)

[@no.comment]

Beh.... Wow! 🤩 Bravissimi!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏻

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks!

[@sarwendah1]

Wow...great. Keep up the excellent cover work.

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks so much :)

[@dunetune4288]

I hope you realise how good you all are! This is so entertaining and I hope you keep going and l can get to see you. Top notch!

[@stevenholmes9641]

Awesome....bass playing is bang on.👍

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Steven ! Been hooked on Level 42 since I saw them aged 13 on the Guaranteed tour.

[@JayDee11]

5:12 to 5:30 nice vocals from Natalie, excellent L42 cover's. Top job.

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks JayDee :)

[@framax67]

Rocks and sounds great ! 🤟👏 Excellent !

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers!

[@malcolmjones7650]

When can buy tickets to see you live ? Level 42 has been my favourite band since they started.

[@Doc40Hz]

As soon as we can get gigging we will be :)

[@johnmarks8101]

Great job all of you. All the best.

[@kizzwizz6574]

This band are excellent, it's very difficult to emulate L42, very well done.

[@timhalbert]

This is pure ear candy. You are a very talented bunch. Instrumentally it is completely on point, and you've actually surpassed the original vocals here with that judicious autotune. I dare say Lindup is probably watching this wishing he'd found a Natalie back in 1980; it's so lovely to hear these classics being sung in the top end.

[@johndoyle1810]

Great band performing like the real thing Level42

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks John!

[@mr3n10]

Nice... slapppin the bass!!!

[@Funkstar124]

Nicely produced Chris and yes, you SHOULD be out there Gigging and keeping the 42 music alive. When Kingy kicks the bucket or his thumb explodes, you guys will be well in! Great, clean bass playing buddy - anyone who says different is just jealous! Shame the Covid 19 situation has put your plans on hold but hang in on there as you're all doing a great job keeping the music alive. I have mate who does this for a living and he's screwed at the moment. Well done all of you!

[@drumrunner72]

That's INSANE!! SO GOOD 🤯 Your drummer is so lucky he's got my dream gig.

[@YellowWalkman]

So great. Honestly. So great!

[@never4255]

Fantastic guys!

[@MrDoodles42]

Really excellent work guys!! Genuine goosebumps during this vid!! Really tight band!

[@sarwendah1]

Amazing. A perfect rendition.

[@TheStumyu]

Can I borrow Mark King's hands next? Nice. Okay, Heaven in my hands... I'm sold. See you in Glasgow

[@onemandrone]

well done guys, sent out the tickets!

[@fozterfossworth8276]

Admire the honesty in admitting to the studio 'doctoring'.

[@mikebuick2332]

Stumbled across this looking for some more Mr Pink tutorials! Not sure why 4 people have given you a thumbs down? Mental. It’s often difficult listening to tribute acts because they’re always going to be compared to the original band, but when you can listen to this and think, yeah, that’s bloody good, without worrying about L42, then I’d say you’ve nailed it. Awesome stuff 👍👍👍

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Mike :) Can't please everyone, and life would be boring if we could I guesse!

[@tanelehala6422]

The 7th and 19th note of the intro in Hot Water where all are playing in unison are B's not A's.

[@dslapster64]

This is brilliant

[@matthewaitken9937]

Love this! 🤙

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Matthew :)

[@darrenwales1092]

Fantastic tribute . Question for Chris , if you had to choose ONE bass between the Jaydee and the Status which one would you choose ? It must be grest to have both , well jel. Fantastic playing... and singing

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Darren, apologies for the late reply. Wasn't notified of the comments! It's a difficult choice to be honest, but overall I think the Status sounds a bit better and the neck is far more stable. If I could only have one, it would probably be the Status.

[@darrenwales1092]

@@Doc40Hz cheers . The Jaydee neck stability is something I thought they may have dealt with by now.

[@paulbell7654]

Wow!

[@stevegreen243]

Mr Pink?

[@christophebaratault4685]

Excellent !

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks :)

[@johnmoore925]

Great Music. Love Level 42. Do you have a website or social media?

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks John. www.mrpink42.com/ the website is under construction

[@nathanhealy5850]

Nice Work Guys

[@christiandelbecq4126]

Hey Doc, absolute great job ! Good groove and sounds. I play some Level 42's tunes in France but my sound isn't exactly the same although I'm using Trace Elliot amp and Sire, Stingray, '68 JB... Is Jay Dee S2 the only way to have MK sounds?

[@dmitrybogatsky1734]

Super Cool! now i'm your fan from Russia :)

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers Dmitry, glad to have you on board!

[@nicklesser4569]

Super!!

[@telentulho1959]

Veramente bravi!!!

[@terrific-bats]

fantastic ! thumbs up

[@planetheavenmusic]

You can't fault that Level 42 came up with a great sound and songs but that I have to say was better than them! You really have captured their sound and have produced the tracks perfectly. Good luck. You deserve to be working a lot!

[@Level42Dotcom]

Added on the playlist 'Level 42 Covers' kzbin.info/aero/PL5E8B47BCEC88D5CE

[@averagebarband]

Good job.

[@101jumpit]

Brilliant ! :)

[@JayDee11]

Had to add another comment. Having watched the 'Something About You' clip many times now in this presentation have to ask if it was recorded in full? If so think you should upload it for all to enjoy (even if just audio only) as it really is such a good cover.

[@afgm15]

Fuc$%& nail it !!! congrats !!!

[@MONTES262011]

Excelente omg !!!!

[@johndoyle1810]

Nice one

[@liverpoolhw]

Dope man

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers!

[@brieziethirteen13]

Big fan of this cat. Nice tribute

[@marcusoroberts]

It shouldn't work. I really hate tribute acts. But hot damn this is a class tribute ensemble. G'job!

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Marcus :) It's been a lot of work! I had to learn how to sing for a start

[@marcusoroberts]

@@Doc40Hz your voice is terrific. You have no worries there Sir.

[@lanimask4314]

Sounds good , tad too much auto tune though

[@Doc40Hz]

Fair enough

[@fuzmaginty5822]

jd bass now that's delicious

[@laurentquintana262]

Hey hey

[@42bass]

👍very good

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks very much!

[@mrliburd8823]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🌞

[@mickeyallen9975]

Tell you what , I really enjoyed this, heard some horror attempts in the past, probably only thing negative thing is as with 99% of bass players I hear playing RITF during verse there is 2 riffs not 1 if listen carefully you will hear it

[@fuzmaginty5822]

nice bass that's it

[@JasonRamasami]

Marks really let himself go.

[@dissyduster]

Nice,,,

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks Chaz :)

[@paulbell7654]

Spot on!

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers Paul!

[@gideonsikk8733]

M8 just use the status it suits u much better ..yes we all love king on Jaydee ..

[@Doc40Hz]

Haha! It took me so long to find a JayDee I'm not wanting to not play it!

[@MISTERZANZAN]

too much autotune effect (for my taste, that's personal :) no offense) but i really liked the music and interpretations, very good !!! cheers from france.

[@lanimask4314]

I agree

[@Doc40Hz]

To be honest, I agree - but I left the production decisions to Graeme. I'm a mediocre singer at best, though I have improved since starting this project. These tracks were recorded surprisingly quickly and Graeme did an outstanding job with what we tracked in a short space of time

[@tonydization]

You scrub up well Doc.

[@Doc40Hz]

Haha! Thanks

[@batandball617]

Not bad, not bad at all.

[@r.g.horseracing2279]

You're not singing/playing live

[@Doc40Hz]

No. It’s a promotional video.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Great musicians but I don’t like his or her voice. I can smell autotune too? The production is to notch. Long time Level 42 fan here!!!

[@EvilSean62]

nsfw fucking awesome ... do it more till you fall over ... then get the fuck up and do it more ... i see success ..reach for it !!!! but really ... this is fantastic .. needs some attention to dynamics ...you got the notes now get the votes 16 sodiumm atoms go into a bar followed by batman ... hint ... its a music joke

[@ryanmannie7070]

The wife is hot but the vocals are not!

[@larryjonson3550]

Ha ha ha ha!!

[@johnhufton5787]

Crikey in a way sounds better than the real thing! And I’m a die hard 42 fan!

[@larryjonson3550]

Thats a serious thing to say my man.

[@Doc40Hz]

That's a massive complement, thank you - I have to say I prefer the real deal though!
