[yeoGlover]

Mike Lindup is cool,I hope I can see them in 2011.

[jvhowellsRVF]

2010 was the first time back in the US since they toured with Maddonna in 1986. On their web page they said they had such a great response and turn out that they plan on coming back in 2011 !!!!!

[jvhowellsRVF]

I SOOOOO LOVE THEM!!!! Just saw them in Philly July 24th, 2010!! Awesome!!! But Yo why is this out of sink??????

[spyderj1999]

@jvhowellsRVF DAMN BRO, THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! I didn't know that they still came to the states!!!

[excession33]

This is even faster than the recorded version of the song! How he keeps up that controlled pace on the bass is incredible.

[Chrisden90]

Thank you Level 42 . You will never know how much of an inspiration you've been to me as a musician... Thank you again and again

[judelyn88]

wow...awesome guitar at 3:13

[bonichorri]

El teclista no va hasta las cejas??? ;-)

[JamonjiCahillibongo]

One reason he was a great bass player...he was a drummer!

[happybill636]

@JamonjiCahillibongo did not khnow that....makes sence

[JamonjiCahillibongo]

@happybill636 trained on the Drums before he picked up the bass.

[geffel]

The 80s were a bit rubbish. Fine bass playing though, and actually the guitar playing aint bad either.

[chochentero]

cuantos recuerdos!!!!!!!, mis años en la " prepa" de Yuriria (84-87) Y cuantos buenos amigos de Uriangato y Moroleon.

[dvd1731]

the darky makes me laugh

[mgzt190plus]

They played this as it was one of Princess Diana's favorite bands. And this was her favorite song from them. I may be wrong, but damn did she pick a good song! God bless her.

[kiwigirl49]

heck he's so hot...

Great performance

[mevevol20071]

No entiendo como hay 25 personas a las que no les gusta.

[ywing77]

@mevevol20071 hermano acuerdate que el mal gusto esta de moda.

[mevevol20071]

@ywing77 Es verdad, vasta con ver como escuchan Reggaeton ahora

[jmoussa1987]

love the brief, restrained guitar solo; very classy playing!

[AdrianWaitemusic]

This is my favorite Level 42 performance I've seen on YouTube. The orchestra just makes it soooo much better. These guys were my favorite through the eighties and ninties.

[MagnusGusten]

A fantastic music group. So talent

[pedrokaco]

So good, and it´s realy hard to play this slapin bass adn singing man!

[VladimirRadiomay]

Моя любимая у них песня.

А у друзей почему -то не она, а другие :-)

Эта песня в каком -то кино про море круто прозвучала.

[globalcare2013]

he is so cute and good player... I get excited seing that hand moving..wouwow

what a sexy men...!!!!!!!

[tomicalover]

The Ultimate trendsetter of the century for music.....how could things become better than them for music. All hardwork came to a result that few can match the echoes of 'lessons in love' until today......the echoes of level 42

[Lynneheal]

best guitarist ever in UK

[lacricriva]

Female back up singer looks like Sharon Stone.

[aoaiau]

fucking tune cant stop listen it would like someone to make a good remix do someone know a good remix

[superschirpi]

the ultimate version of "Lessons in Love"!

[magicaroma31]

........nostalgia degli anni 80?

[SuperKuzmitch]

awesom from russia

[arroyorena]

fuck me...... this is real music

[johnankan]

sir george martin said, because they are so goodddddddddddddddd

[ryanjhancock]

Mark King SLAP IT!

[Borat911]

this guy is a beast !!!! The hulk playing funky britpop

[berlinerluft73]

One of the finest bass players of all times... good all days, those 80's...

[superschirpi]

Level 42 morgen live auf der NDR-Bühne auf der Kieler Woche. Ab 20:30 ;-) für lau!

[albumblatt]

Esto es música. Esto es lo que hacen los profesionales en acción. Cualquiera puede ponerse la etiqueta de músico pero no lograr el nivel de estos tigres sobre el escenario. Todos, desde el vocalista quien toca el espléndido bajo, hasta el baterista realizan un performance perfecta.

[marcosms008]

GERARDÃO..AMIGO DO GLAUCO...SEMPRE NA SURDINA!!!

[TECKMASSE]

I love your song Level 42 !

[Khupalski]

OMFG...mark king is so awesome

he chews gum and sings at the same time....hahahaha

and plays the bass like a god

[macdaddy1600]

@Khupalski lol

[RockyF9]

Great live ! Level 42 rules !

[Robert51169]

This bassist rocks

[AMBASSODOR]

Great band but that guy should stay behind his keyboard , too cheesyyyyy

[zhonggg]

@AMBASSODOR hahahha. he looks like he's doing sign language.

[ThePixieprincess90]

LEVEL 42. mark put them out their with his guitar, and his voice and he can sing, with out all the hi tech stuff they use, but he is the same in video and in live, nothing more suave then a persona that knows how it is done. AWSOME<!!!!

[kevinjso]

the best

[ferdzrines954]

George Martin approves..

thats a big honor for a band!

wow!

man..love this band.

[wdwron08]

Still one of my alltime favorite Level 42 songs

[ROBINXON79]

Q song tan ricooooooooo . saludos de Lima - Peru para bailarlo desnudoo ....

[arabinowicz]

This is a ridiculous video -- love the level 42 combo with this orchestra!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LittleSweety]

This song was no.1 in Germany^^

[2121lea]

what a rhytm..level 42 rules funky jazz :)

[yomiyomi21]

AMAZING !!! I love it so much

[ladyloveforevenmore]

one of the top hundred for ever...

Happy New Year 2010年新年快樂

[happybill636]

Love this vid cant watch it enough happy new year all

Bill

[awefhiwefiuwafiuhai]

I don't know how Mark King can sing like that while simultaneously playing awesome slap bass. Even playing extremely easy bass lines and singing is very difficult for me. Either my singing or bass playing has to suffer because of it. I can't do both.

[awefhiwefiuwafiuhai]

BTW what is Mark King chewing in this video? His tongue? The side of his mouth maybe?

[loranalary]

he always do that ... lol so he can sing , play bass, and chew a gum , amazing , eh?

[gyruss73]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai gum

[demotorduvel]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai +1, he's a great bass player.

[fassaalbrecht]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai haha! I can sing and play slap at the time, but it's taken me three years to get myself up to the standard where I can play Level 42 songs.

[bonichorri]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai And he's eatin' some chewing gum whist singin' & slappin', hahahah!

[1234TIMMER4321]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai i have th4e same problem...i cant even answer a simple question while playin bass...or i lose timing....but theres many bassiest like this...les claypool and geddy lee to name a couple

[Dykom1]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai the question is: how can he mantain that rithym for almost 5 minuts !! everytime i try ... i end up hitting my forehead with my thumb !!!

[dragon21247]

@Dykom1 TRACE ELLIOT 1200 DOES ALOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING

[mzzvaughan]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai YES ITS VERY HARD TO DO BOTH! I Know a few musicians gave up on or the other cause its so hard!

[cityrayman]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai

Practice practice practice. Keep working at it you will get it. I think the bassline becomes the secondary and the constant. You know what the note will sound like when you fret the string that will always be the same. So get the bassline down and then your not thinking about your finger work on the neck you just have to sing the song., It has worked for me!

[modeleagle]

@awefhiwefiuwafiuhai keep practicing =)

[elpanuchoveloz]

This song is a poem for the soul.

I love it.

[freddurobin]

@elpanuchoveloz

True, True.

[Forestamtul]

Was that George MaRtin in the beginning of the video?

[trossachs2003]

aye

[Bassplayer1204]

Just great!!!

[skyman1971]

Gary and Alan...great musicians, but the real Level 42 always was and always will be Phil, Boon, Mike and Mark! The Gould brothers are just in a completely different class. Level 42 is now no more than a tribute band!

[boomfield]

@ skyman1971, yep, true. The Gould Brothers really are a class of their own. Peace

[Funkyme4]

The guitarist played very well and the solo sounds just like it should. unbelieveble knowing he was allready very sick because of aids he died not long after the condert

[Xaqtly]

Gary Husband is a great drummer, he's sort of gotten a bad rap by L42 fans.

[eezysqueezy]

"...because they're so good."

Says it all really.

[maslivar]

please dont delete this video.

[muskier]

فرقة عظيمة وأنغام خلابة

[Daddybopper]

A great time in my life when this song came out. I used to work in a clothing store in The garment district of Los Angeles (The Alley)

[webonline74]

toll,toll,toll,...dass ist das was die 80er/späte 90er ausmacht - LEVEL42 - die erinnerung an GUTE Zeiten !

[marellison]

Mark King is really a King on both bass and vocals - and on cool stage performance.

[andreapittaluga]

io potrei essere nato grazie a loro....:)

[Vaicobra]

[borderonline]

Vaicobra!mitici ANNI 80!!!da sballo i "level 42"!!quando ci sarà una band del genere sul palcoscenico musicale!avevo....19 anni!mi viene da piangere a sentirli....ciao e grazie del tuo commento!

[Vaicobra]

grazie a te....mi fa piacere che ci sono tanti nostalgici dei nostri anni 80.....i migliori in tutti i sensi!!!!! ciao.

[daxter225]

Great sing and i love the fact that they sound just as good Live as they do on there records

[CLUEVi]

Ωραία χρόνια.Γαματο τραγουδι.

[Sattel42]

It is interesting to see: John Thirkell from the horn section was a tour member on the Guaranteed-tour in 1991.

Alan Murphy died in the same year (1989), R.I.P!

Gary Husbands second year as Level 42's drummer.

Level 42, like every time, great live performance. They're the best !!!

Die Jungs kennen ihr Geschäft...

*thumps up*

[piloto1324]

fantastic...!

[AtR3YuxD]

My mother loves this song..

[spliff2901]

@ Electricfunsport: Mike Lindup play the keyboards. The bassist is Mark King...

But i agree with you: great music ;o)

[Dyamanti22]

Dit was me Poku vroeger toen ik jonger was. Wat je hoorde was tof toch.

[Electricfunsport]

This song was the reason for me to buy a bass guitar and try playing like mike. Great music !

[tess1972rn]

I'm so glad the crowd yelled after Mark says "Yeah!"...good to know the audience has some fans & isn't filled w/just a bunch of stuffed shirts.

[Dennislead]

Mark is king

[maslivar]

please dont delete this video.

[nokiaeier]

You want to kiss someone when you listen to this. Its amasing

[maslivar]

please dont delete this video.

[Beatles4President]

what a huge compliment from THE george martin!! level 42 is without a doubt an amazing, incredible band :)

[jaydeebassman]

so agree with SuperJondeer, this is music u can actually hear the words to

[humpel88]

sie waren da! kieler woche 2009....

[superschirpi]

und ich auch;-) absolute weltklasse die band!

[vagusnerves]

Great ! I cannot get enough of it, especially between 2:40 and 3:27 ...

[schvrky]

It's out of sync :(

[obeach82]

That's some good stuff right there.  Thank you for posting...

[dorkstomper]

great song, reminds me of my youth.

[charlscuellar]

great song

[TimelessBarbara]

Mark is beyond HOT and so talented!

[SuperJondeer]

This is music.Unlike the gangsta crap in the charts today!!

[maslivar]

please dont remove this video.

[Conicompi]

this is my favorite song of all times

[orlandofriend]

Level is so good... but is this with a backing track? It sounds too perfect.

[MrTrumptonriots]

No this is live.

[bobjramone]

dun, da da dun, da da dun, da da daaaaaa WOW- WOW- WOWSER!

[TECKMASSE]

Good Live !

[jackrevenant]

Mark King's hammer on technique is legendary! love the bass line so much

[Stapler78]

Are you referring to the slapping? Hammer-on is a different technique.

[jackrevenant]

Thanks for the comment Stapler78. Hammer on is what Mark King is doing with his left hand along the frets while he indeed uses slap like a percussive background with his right hand.

Whilst both are present I was referring to Marks legendary Hammer on technique there.

[Stapler78]

Ah ok, I see.　Thanks!

[blondie1159]

Mark King Rulez

[Utubeboob2007]

Mark King...wow!

[ardkin69]

simply class !!!

[eezysqueezy]

This is awesome. Would be a 10/10 if only the twat on keyboards hadn't decided he needed to make a cameo appearance.

Still great though.
