Level 42 - Heaven In My Hands: Video

[bitnize]

Great song, first single from the bands great album "Staring at the sun" from 1988. The drummer Phil Gould and Boon Gold where replaced by Gary Husband and Alan Murphy. Husband i a good drummer too.

[lerxt42]

yeah its a very positive kinda song

[lerxt42]

Best concert I ever attended in 1990 at Hammersmith in London, not long after Alan died. Alan Holdsworth played with them and they had every body in the house dancing. Awesome band RIP Alan Murphy

[SHOJMPR42]

WHEN aLAN mURPHY AND mARK kING JAMMED TOETHER THEY WENT INTO THE ROCK ZONE no jazz here. what versatille and masterful musicians RIP Alan

[ikkleh]

One of my all time faves, gotta love it!

[fragmentopolis]

I adore this song. I was born in '79 but I always felt I should 've been born earlier. 80's forever!

[michellesplek5298]

This song gives me chills!

[peteandurnot]

The Video is kinda sad really, cos Alan Murphy, the Guitarist in this, died of aids not too long after this Video was recorded. I'm not surprised to see him sitting down in the Vid and its kinda sad to think that he was very sick back then. Mind you Freddie Mercury did the same thing in 1991, so it shows what a trooper Murphy was, kept going til the last.

[peteandurnot]

Cheers dude

OOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH!

What a rush!!!!!!!! What a song!!! I had not heard this in a while! So glad to be born in 1961 and was old enough to appreciate the great music of the 70's and 80's...

BTW:

The answer to Life the Universe and everything else...(Level) 42

[firefly54220]

still sounds great to me. no matter who is in the band as long as the lead singer is still in

[Beatles4President]

GREAT song!!! i feel like running up a mountain or something now

[Braktooth]

Always loved this song. Funky and rocky, a good mix.

Those dancers fit the song title...

[Gluupor]

This is so my victory song, as well as the perfect wording for my main goal/motivation in life!

[djadamlaw]

what a feel good song - always gets me jumping when i hear it!! :-)

[johnbyronkuhner]

Great high energy song, and it sure is funny to see Level 42 turned into a bunch of bayou rats for four minutes. Looks like they spent a really long weekend with John Cougar Mellencamp.

[babeface1973]

Lush Lush Lush thats all I have to say - Level Forever...........

[TMeyer88]

cant call this level 42, the Goulds were level 42

[illfatedmilkcarton]

Speaking of illnesses... I know that the guitarist Alan died of AIDS shortly after touring for this album wrapped. A shame. He was suppost to be one of the best session guitarists of the 80's as well.

[davethedrummercancun]

I'm always a fan

no matter who's in the band!!!

Level 42!

[4evernate28]

And here's where it all went downhill...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this song, and there are some DAMN GOOD songs that came up after Boon and Phil left, but overall, the band wasn't the same.

[garethmarkwilliams]

Well of course they weren't going to be the same - Gary, Alan, Jakko etc. brought different things to the table than Phil and Boon.

Okay, some people prefer the earlier Level 42 stuff but I don't think you can say that they ever did a truly bad song.

Bands evolve differently and sometimes changes are neccessary - Boon couldn't have stayed as he was ill and Phil and Mark disagreed on the way the music was progressing. What was important was that Level 42 continued to make music.
