[SamBAss42]

What is that bass that Mark is playing at 4:00 onwards? Pangborn maybe?

Thanks for posting this, fantastic! I used to walk past Chets Music School for years in Manchester, never knew Lindup went there :)

[jazzzzdude]

Where did you get this from? I saw this on TV in 1983 I think. I even emailed the BBC a couple of years back to see if they had it but no luck. It was either a 30 minute or 1 hour documentary. Fantastic. There's also a Whistle Test On The Road of them from the Pursuit of Accidents Tour that I saw in 1982 on BBC2 but I've never seen it since.

@jazzzzdude think this was on channel 4, might be worth asking them if they still have a copy!

[jonannlou]

[RudolphHucker]

Thanks for uploading this, I haven't seen it since I videotaped it back in the reeeaaally early 80's, never thought I'd see it again. Bunch of straightforward guys with extraordinary talent, but kept their feet on the ground. thanks again

[BenGilhooly1992]

Is it me, or does he shout "Get down Boon" in the middle of the 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' performance?

[MrDefaulto]

Incredible to thing of Level 42 as a lounge act!! LOL They are the greatest!

[level242]

This is the first time I ever heard the Gould boys speaking voices.

[retroglide2000]

They all come across as very intelligent and well educated - take a note today's 'musicians' this is how you do it.

[Rich7714]

@retroglide2000 Don't worry - taking note is exactly what I am doing! Just figured out the chords to this one which I'm happy about! There are decent musicians out there today (I'm 27).

[shepshepherd]

Level 42 playing in a holiday camp when they were already pretty famous is quite a thing. I'd loved to have seen them in such circumstances :)

[mybasshas7strings]

I love this, Level 42 as a lounge act.:-) Hilarious! Still one of my favorite bands ever.

[sharonesx]
