Level 42 - Mark King bass solo + Take a look - Going Live - oct. 1988

They absolutely hated miming, and Mark King always did stuff to show the audiences that they are in fact miming, like he would stop playing the bass for a while, when the sound was still going, or like here he isn't singing into a mic. like, "Ha! Look at what they're doing to us!"

@devoutyesfan True thing. Or he would have the bass hangning from one shoulder and just "strumming it". I'm still waiting for him to do the "Michael Winslow in Police Academy" thing where he where he flips the bass so the back is out and slapping on that

Mark King here looks like a blonde CHRIS MORRIS!

I have this on VHS somewhere - so great to finally find it on YouTube. A terrible choice for a 2nd single at the time, particularly for Going Live, but wonderful nostalgia! :)
