These Princes Trust concerts were the pinnacle of great musicianship in the UK Music industry. Level 42 with Mark Brzezicki on Drums and Clapton and this was early on in the evening. You just could not do a supergroup like this with modern day pop stars. That really is quite sad.

[@eirondemiel4841]

I Would love if i actually could do a band and play this kind of music with a good quality sound like it was at this concert

[@michaelrawson6261]

You couldn't do a supergroup with modern acts for one very good reason... most of them are utter shit...!!! And so is their music 🎶

[@tommy-fu5sz]

Mark King is an underrated vocalist- great tone and style. Hard to believe he could sing so well while playing some of the toughest (AND COOLEST) bass lines in pop history.

[@pjoker1000]

Yes SIR 🤟🤟🔥🔥

[@MargieC]

And chewing gum at the same time 😊❤

[@passtheawksshow]

I clicked on a Level 42 performance and definitely was not expecting Eric Clapton! Love it.

[@sigzweizehn7429]

..Clapton nimmt das Schwule aus der Mugge bissl raus 😉👍🏻

[@vincentmv898]

Really? It literally says ‚Eric Clapton‘ in the description… 😅😅

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Yes Eric rocks!

[@carloslima874]

Mark King is a bass King. Amazing band. Eric on stage was fantastic.

[@mikoagusta1109]

Mark King's voice is amazing!

[@k2ashley]

Your right , it does sound amazing .

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Some serious 🎸🎸 guitar Talent going down here 🌠🌠🏞️

[@almartin115]

The anger in Eric Clapton's solo stunned me at 3:06, and I collect his music. This is brilliant quality.

[@garylove5475]

yep big EC fan for decades and recall watching this live and thinking as you have rightly said, a real edge and attack to that lead break… great playing and vid

[@heathreidy-pd1po]

I Believe Eric was going through a divorce with patty at the time, his playing always reflected the way he was feeling. From the heart.

[@mikeparlett]

This is the REAL Level 42 sound. Classic!!

[@heribertorivera4221]

Wow! I love running in the family...but I saw Londonbeat in the chorus!!! who would've thought! what a nice surprise!

[@christiansalazar8369]

Monster bass playing Mark King

[@jameswhite7997]

Here for Mark King but my goodness Clapton solo is incredible 😮

[@cesareaugusto9677]

Great contribution by EC to this classic L42 track! Eric Clapton should contribute guitar solos to more Level 42 tunes!

[@anenglishmaninmalaga]

Fun fact.. I met Level 42 on a beach in Torremolinos. Early 90's. I rushed off to a souvenir shop so he could give me his autograph... Still got it somewhere... Wanna see the postcard with his autograph?? That's if it's not been ruined with mould... Haha

[@user-yx9xk6gx3x]

Saw them many times at the playhouse in Edinburgh their were amazing.. I’m still in love with Mark King xxx

[@annishilcock4587]

True talent has nothing to prove and respects the true talents of others. That's why you get amazing lineups like this

[@isnaravelar4319]

Golden years

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

Having the lead singer playing bass must make it doubly hard for the drummer. Impressive

[@eltabuquin]

Muy buen grup level 42 tiempos de mi juventud...

[@pjoker1000]

This is GOLD!!!! Eric with Level 42

[@danielpalmersofficial]

Level 42 and Eric Clapton, wow!! ✌️😙

[@justinbranch7066]

Jools Holland on piano & Eric Clapton on support

[@gamingwithcallum6087]

Then later on George Harrison was on stage and Elton John (I think)

[@gamingwithcallum6087]

Oh and midge ure (Ultravox) on rhythm guitar

[@matslarsson3452]

[@lugarazul]

Elegancia, en su estado puro.

[@nelsonalfaro9896]

Ellos.son amigos Erick y Mark....great band...Level 42

[@tkotmk]

BIg Level 42 fan here. Wish they played different song with Eric Clapton on guitar....

[@TGrant42]

Agreed. Level 42 have a lot of other songs that are far less pop and more funky. “Mr. Pink” would have been cool for Clapton! But given the occasion, I suppose they were under pressure to play “the hits” only.

[@moacirdesouza1783]

Sensacionais!!!🎼Sou fã!

[@sigitprabowo363]

Mark King, King of machine gun style

[@mareksaltberg1484]

Didn't know that Eric Clapton played with Level 42 ❤

[@saidmuhammadizzat4994]

It's an all star band for a Prince Trust Rock Gala.

[@saidmuhammadizzat4994]

But agree. It's one in a lifetime event

mark king was a drummer first. i think that’s why he can a few things at a time. we used to say he has two brains

Amazing 👏.

[@iseyan2813]

この時、Level42 としてではなく、Prince's Trust All Star Bandのメンバーとして、BassのMark KingとKeyboardsのMike Lindapが出てきて、(Videoでは)1発目にこの『Running in the Family』を演ったんですよね。コーラスのいい加減な仕事に、Mike Lindapが天を仰ぐところが印象的でした。

Funny to hear the Yamaha QX1 click at the start

[@nfindc]

Sad not to see Boon and Phil here. This was '87, and if I'm not mistaken, The Goulds only performed songs from this album a few times before departing. L42 wasn't the same after that.

[@therodge319]

Although the gouldswhere great musicians, I thought they had a tighter sound with Gary Husband and Alan Murphy… but I don’t dislike either version of them bands… thought they lost it a bit when Alan passed away…

[@mikeheap7978]

Sllapping your bass up is better than slapping your missus up 😛👍.

When to be onstage you HAD TO BE ABLE to perform

Oh, who was the blonde haired guy mainly singing and playing guitar? I can’t find his name anywhere

[@nickavenoso7851]

If you’re talking about the guy playing the bass that’s Mark King from Level 42.

Clapton plays 5 seconds jajaja.

@@Adamjski71 I love that drummer, but do have to google how to spell his name every time.

Si

4 guitarists all playing the same part 🤣🤣🤣

i think clapton´s short solo was useless here :)
