LEVEL 42 - THE CHINESE WAY (RETROGLIDE TOUR 2006)

[stevep30716]

Made a comment for this video YEARS ago still getting replies Respect to level 42 what other bands get this longevity ... MARK is a KING in my eyes. Long live all the eighties music.

[kameleon40]

Yes.

[korvexpictures]

Sounds like a beginning of a cool TV Show - I love it :)

[eckie4679]

I'd forgotten how good they were - and still are!

[ennychandra1]

thanks for posting the Level 42. Chinese Way.....

[freeclimb64]

@stevep30716

absolutely: yes

[JoeSzilagy]

Saw them in the '80s- still can't figure how Mark can both sing, and play bass like that at the same time!

[bass117]

This is one of the hottest performances of Chinese Way I have seen. Thanks so much for posting. Watching this makes me want to go practice my bass for the next two hours! Ouch!

Quelqu'un sait quand ils donnent un concert à Paris ? pour mouiller sa chemise et éteindre le feu avec ce sublime son intense

[gaerboy]

@stevep30716 SO RIGHT

[madagaskar1969]

[mgzt190plus]

I bet Mark and Gary rehearsed their nuts of to play this tight! AWESOME!!! Thanks Daven and co :D

[MrPete1690]

awesome  my flys wide open i feel a breeze my winkle reaches down to my knees

[SHOJMPR42]

Mark King requires a high speed camera like used on race horses

[joergen100]

@stevep30716

Agree completely. One of the bands that could play your socks off and still sound great!

[tommy66toffee]

@stevep30716

I could never understand why the music press slagged off Level 42 - for example, saying that Mark King claimed to have invented slap bass

Legends

[thesoledad25]

3.47-3.59...totally amazing bassplaying....truly amazing....

[Mowac]

At 3:35, Nathan is looking at Mark with a crooked smile because he knew that Mark just played the wrong notes. Mark is smiling back at him as if he is saying,"Yep little brother, I messed up."

[iloveesr]

@Mowac no -  that's just their "jamming" faces ;)

[3DPeter]

what a great peformance! They are different that other bands, because

they starting to sound better and better by the years, something you can't say from most other bands. Anyway, i hope that they wil keep on going for a long time,

and hope that they come to holland real soon.

[Mowac]

"My fly's wide open"..........typical Mark King humor...hillarious.

[ALAN32138]

my flies wide open i feel a breeeze !!!!

[76alembic]

These guys just kill live ,what great arrangement of this classic tune.Mark and the boys Canada is calling.

[jp00349]

if you're an amateur bass player and junkie as I am, this is addictive... I wish I could play half as fast as Mark does... bravo maestro!

[Mowac]

If you're motivated enough........you can do it. I couldn't play like this three years ago because that's when I first took up bass.. I've about mastered this song now. You can do it ..if you really want to. You have to keep practicing by starting out slow and slowly work up your speed. That's the only way.

[johno4501]

absolutely fantastic class act the best of Level 42 !!!!

[lukoza1]

what a cracker! Perfect - who can still play this way live today?

[iloveesr]

Amazing stuff. My all-time favourite band ever.

[jchouhenk]

I think, it too fast version

but they flow ist great

It cheer my day!

[dillikins]

Wicked version. Nice to see Mark, Mike and co. are still working on arrangements that differ from what they've done in the past. Great playing.

[starchild123456]

that keyboard solo gets me every time

love it!

[DavenMadeleine2008]

You Certainly Are!

[GuyMagicFingers]

YAYAYAYAY - gotta love this!

[Beatles4President]

they're on FIAAAAHH!

[rory09]

"how are we eating, and what floor is the restaurant on?"...

[spikkel70]

wow what a bass player he is

[philby971]

I'm tired just watching Mark King go at it with his bass! He is, BY FAR, the best there is......NO CONTEST! Amazing song....thanks for posting!!

[lukoza1]

CRACKER!

[4difference]

when i was at 5.55 i though, this can't be nearly a minute outro, but appeareantly, it was xD

[4difference]

in the first, i clicked this song away very quickly, but once you feel it, it gets better and better!

[retroglide2000]

Should have been the son for the Olympics in China :)

[retroglide2000]

song!

[Nouveauette]

Ha Ha Ha, that is really funny hahahha. But, you know, you have a good point, I Just pictured Mark King playing this.

[2002philwood]

@kingbassplayer Saw Level 42 at Eastbourne last week. They are just awesome - if you get a chance to see the 30th anniversary, go for it. One of the best live acts we have ever seen - a tribute to their enthusiasm after all this time.
