Think this gig is where they took the live pictures for the "A Physical Presence" album.... Great album !!!

[ImaniHekima]

Many thanks for sharing this. It was a great inspiration to see back then and still is!

Seen this before but it's blowing my mind that Mark has a cigarette in his mouth while playing.

Awww.. . Mike ...such a jumping bean.

[iketheman]

This is just the best!

[petehydes]

This is brilliant Level 42 at their best before the comercial stuff

Many thanks

I'm sure every band faces that decision about whether to stay cool and underground, or uncool and commercial. It's not a case of selling out to me, it's a case of buying in. Who's gonna turn down a bigger audience and more money. Plus their commercial stuff was still talented, as they're all competent players, and better than some of the drivel around today by a long chalk !!

For me they lost it in 85/6, just became too chart orientated and lost most of their character and inventiveness.

[Uzair32]

by any chance has anyone got 43 live

[canvoodoo]

thanks a million for this

[skintrade]

hehe mike goes mad!

[4evernate28]

Yeah, Mike does like to have fun when he doesn't have to play keyboards.

[philcrawley]

This is the lot - all five parts I've up'ed are the complete programme - even twenty years ago an hour long slot on commercial television was really only 44 minutes.

[djryanking]

Thanks for putting this up Phil, I've been a huge Level 42 fan since about 1998. I'm only 28, but I've got all their albums and taken a real interest in their music. I love all their albums, especially STANDING IN THE LIGHT, FOREVER NOW and I really like RETROGLIDE, which I know is a controversial thing to say it seems. I've subscribed to your channel, so if you have any Level 42 programs / gigs please upload as it would be amazing to watch. I'm seeing them in Southend in October, can't wait.

[sfa2]

Remember forcing me mum to watch this when it was first on - was really into Level 42 in those days - thanks for putting it up.
