Level 42 Man-Live (Full Version)

[1969atam]

Fantastic track. I love the 'Staring At The Sun' LP. Level 42 are very underrated. When I think of the shit that passes for music today it makes me cry! 'Man' is one of the most complex things they've done. I love the hip hop style beat for the end 'Hey, man sing the blues'! A classic! Thanks for posting!

[autostoppeur]

best level 42 live !

[tomtomalin]

Wonderful to have this, thanks.... I do think though by the way, didnt the 'late great (i agree)... have his first name spelt with a second 'a' Not, 'u'; so spelt 'AlAn Murphy'.I may be wrong. Best wishes.

[Girlin204]

I wonder why they sing the word "dignity" twice instead of "sympathy" the way it is on the record.

[level42info]

Mark's face look as blue as his jacket... MAN what stuff did he use that time haha

[lired70]

Simply Stated, this is an outstanding tune!!

[76alembic]

Great song great guitar playing ,RIP Alan Murphy.

[Beatles4President]

YES!!! awesome song!

[01tnql]

my favorite level 42 song: "hey man sing the blues......"

[MrTeddyBass]

Great song. It would have been nice if Alan could have been with the group for many more years...alas...we were fortunate enough to enjoy this. R.I.P. Alan

[TheMightyHartley]

Lovely finger-style playing by MK towards the end. Very nice!

[deezbar]

best track on the album,the Alembic sounds phat.RIP Alan.x

[beckenbauers]

By far the strongest track on Starring at the sun.

I was not aware that a concert in Copenhagen was ever filmed. This must be from Valbyhallen, actually the only Level 42 concert I never saw in Copenhagen

Do you have any other songs from this concert ??

[illicitutown]

funny, i never saw mark licking his fingers before playing...

[Mowac]

He also does it on the 'Live at Reading 2001" dvd during the song 'Foundation and Empire'.

[Mowac]

He does it before he has to play a blistering finger part on bass. His way of 'lubing' up the fingers.

[76alembic]

Great song, and the late Alan Murphy.remind s me of Alan Holdsworth.Love Marks Alembic. He's still playing it in 2000.Longer than any other bass,I know why ,I've had my my two for 25 plus yrs!

[villbass236]

reminds me of "rooted" from the retroglide album

[matti76ftw]

has there ever been a band more unfairly dismissed and posthumously sneered at? utterly beautiful.

[kopaloadofthis1]

and lets not forget annie mccaig on backing vocals

[kwinkwin]

Fantastic ! Great song, great musicians.

I always have that thrill every time I hear Alan Murphy play the guitar !

[gloggolyt]

Gary Husband is awesome too. Can't wait to see Mark, Mike and Gary next thursday in Århus, Denmark.

[gloggolyt]

Absolutely one of their best songs!

[Mandosami]

Awesome! What a gem!! mesmerized to see Alan M so moved. You can just sense how thrilled Mark is to have him on board. Must have been a real highlight for him and Mike at this time.

[groovemak]

Fabio

[buddybass2]

7/8 great time sig.

[padseenoodle]

It's hard to listen to people who say L42 "sold out" by playing (fantastic) pop songs, when there are epic pieces of beauty like this one. On all their recordings....

[corigraves]

i absolultley agree !!!!!

[eglf24]

Great song and some great footage of the very talented late Alan Murphy.

[Eskimo1973]

Still admiring this after nearly 20 years. This is my fav song from Level 42. Thanks for posting.

[TKAus42]

Absolutely Brilliant. Im over here in Australia and these vids are giving me chills still from the first time i heard L42.

Gee i wish they would come to Australia. Thank you Ryan

[Ry42Back]

Hi Mate you are so welcome glad you guys in Oz appreciate good music.

[Girlin204]

@TKAus42 A little birdie told me they planned to tour Australia in 2011

[corigraves]

Excellent ... remember to vote and rate ... it shows our appreication to Ryan .. its really a well done live version of this song featuring the Late Alan Murphy .. RIP!!!!

[temulterousbazoon]

where in the living fuck did you get this thanks 4 posting goin to st davids hall on the 21st of october to see them.Saw them a few times with canvoodoo obviously he cant check em out in Oz lol have you got any footage of them with Holdsworth ta

[canvoodoo]

jesus man were the fuck do you get em. I thought it was from Fait accompli. Until I played it.

[Ry42Back]

Hi Mate good eh,in this clip Mark is using the first Alembic he owned in Birds Eye Maple as opposed to the later Quilt Maple bass he used to play.

If you look carefully the pick up selector switch located on the bottom cut away of the bass has been blanked off as Mark used to beat the shit out of his hand on it when playing.

[76alembic]

@Ry42Back ,Him and Stanley have had this moved as well

[Ry42Back]

@76alembic Bit of a silly place to put it really mate but i suppose the original design wasn't meant for slap playing.

[76alembic]

@Ry42Back You got that right

[emt4242]

I agree..where do u get these from? not that we are complaining....keep them coming!!!xxx

[ramon709]
