Level 42 - Leaving Me Now (Live @ Cardiff 2006)

[patbirder]

excellent group and my fav song by them.

[sickpack82]

awesome song!

[jayalexandra]

the guy playing percussion was kenny thomas who supported them on tour

[bata22222]

I am ,from Serbia, and a Love this band so much...

[retroglide2000]

I have a question - who is the man to the left of Gary playing percussion? I thought it was Wally Baradou but have been told it's not him.

Any SENSIBLE answers please? I know that Mark and Nathan King, Mike Lindup, Gary Husband and Sean Freeman are in this videoclip, the other person I have no idea who he is!!

[jayalexandra]

i think the guy is kenny thomas who was the support act

[jogro1971]

You can hardly find a musician who interpreted their subjects so well in the studio and live. So level42 is different from the others.

[markrayleigh]

i am going to see level 42 live in oct and i cant wait

[mal334455]

Always difficult to film while you are trying to enjoy the moment ....but you done a good job Matt,nice to see these top guys as they are now.

[oxoPCetoxo]

loving this

[oxoPCetoxo]

BTW Thanx for posting this

[oxoPCetoxo]

Just goes to show that when the good artists sing live, they acually do sing and not lip synch like a lot of so-called singers today. This group is just timeless and their music will always reign supreme, in my opinion.

[3DPeter]

i love the 80's becaus those were the days that i was in my 20's and live was great without any problems like work, paying bills

etc. I had loads of friends back then, and we al listen to level 42 and other great bands and had a good time, and the more i listen today, the more sad i become because i longing back to those days that never wil come back again. Anyway, thanks for putting this stuff on you tube, and i hope that level 42 will come to holland some time real soon.

I love Mike Lindup and his end Piamo Solo at the end of this song God Bless Mike Lindup.

Love Ya Man!

[pinkdreams69]

Just borrowing my daughters comment box. My fav band in the 80's. My son has just phoned me & asked who sang this song & when I said Level 42 he said that Mark King used to live on the estate in Wareham where my son lives now & is going out for a drink with him 2morrow. : )

[jennywu73]

I missed Phil. Does anyone know why he left the band?

[Mowac]

I guess he got tired of touring with the band or didn't like the music direction stylistically that the band was going in. I believe Boon left for the same reasons. But Phil still co-writes and performs some drum tracks for the band now. Boon has co-written some of the newer tunes from Mark's solo works and a couple of songs from the 'Retroglide' CD. I guess they just prefer to stay out of the limelight.

[jennywu73]

Does anyone know who was playing the drums? The sax was superb. Just chills listening to it.

[corigraves]

jenny .. thats Gary Husband on the drums I believe and the sax is played by Sean Freedmen , Nathan King on guitar and of course Mike Lindup on keys !

[yes90125]

Im pretty sure its Gary Husband.Hes one of the best drummers going aroung.Hes very good in the groove department.Watch other vids with him like STARCHILD live and he really shines,no punt intended.

[virafsurty]

wow

[o0LoveTokioHotel0o]

ho the melody on the keyboard always make me cry lol

[ttpoling2]

You got that Right I always cry when I hear Mike Lindup's Piano Solo at the end of this song.

[o0LoveTokioHotel0o]

they're still amazing.. I went yesterday to a festival @ Brussels, They were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!

[ctubeaty]

Fantastic concert, we were upstairs for this one. My friend Henry went to mime the piano fill; you should have seen the look on his face when it was replaced by the sax solo!

[xeuropn]

Mark and Mike back together again. The tears are streaming down my cheeks. Just keep these coming.

[corigraves]

I so agree with you there ... its awsome :) ... and they still sound great ... the keyboards .. the bass the vocals are excellent here :)

[BonMache123]

I need to visit the UK so I can see this band. Don't forget to read Anthony Ismael's DEEP GLANCE. It's a story of friendship, love and politics.

[Mandosami]

What a great version! Shame it wasn't recorded. I love this song when Mark manages to underplay the bass line! Gives the song some real soul

[iunowhu]

Just received the Retroglide DVD from Mark King.

Wonderfull to see these guys are still together, especially with Mike back on keys. It gives it that extra Level flavour that's been missing all those years. Great to see Mike brought his Prophet and Rhodes along as well.

[tetsugakurou]

Just watch'em live yesterday...

they seem getting younger each day

they perform 2 new song from retroglide

damn good, great to see Lindup again

Viva Level 42!!!

[frangall]

Esse video foi muito bem gravado, parabéns. Realmente eles são demais, espero que um dia eles venham no Brasil.

[Jeffers0362]

Superb Stuff,Check out the new CD Retroglide its excellent, They just seem to get better have caught the band live on all of their tours, just love the band

[HabaneroSalsa]

This is priceless. I really love Level 42 and am in awe of Mark King's bass and vocal abilities. I hope they tour in California, I still have yet to see them in person. There is such a shortage of videos for them, so this posting is very much appreciated.

[bartolemeo]

I agree, I've never been able to see them live and would love it.

[mybasshas7strings]

I hate you guys! I live in Canada, I've never seen them play live. Mark King is why I have played bass for the last 22 years. Thanks for the vid.

[corigraves]

mybass they did come to canada in the late 80s ... thats when i saw them .. that was 20 yrs ago .. i m glad i did when i had the chance ... but i agree europe is lucky! its nice to see mark has inspired so many on the bass :)

[beatlesgal]

Wonderful stuff!! I was there too, the opposite side to you! I've seen them twice, and this was the best.

[pommac30]

I was at this show in Cardiff, Basingstoke, and Bristol. I would like to think I started the Whoa Whoa Whoa part in Starchild at the Anvil/Basingstoke show. What a great series of shows. SO EXCLUSIVE

[broaddusmarines]

WOW!! Great video. I have loved this band since I was a kid back in the mid 80s.

Thanxxx.

[sharonesx]

Brilliant. I like to think I started the slow hand clap for the piano solo at the Royal Albert Hall.

[Merv59]

Great clip! How good are these guys live?!! Check out my clips from the Liverpool gig!

[RYAN2642]

hey matt i was at this gig they rocked the place huh?i ve seen them 7 times and this was one of the best
