As per the comments below: I helped deliver a TAMA Drum Kit to Gary Husband , at Ronnie Scotts in Birmingham, many Moons ago. L42 played a wonderous/thunderous gig. BUT Something went wrong between Guitar and Keys during the intro to a song…… …… Back on the Drum Stool, Gary Husband flared Nostrils and ripped the click track off his head in rage, yet saved the day. They didn’t stop because Gary found the beat and carried on like a true professional. The gig continued immaculately. And close to the end I was starting to quake in my Dr Martens because I thought I was about to meet my Bass hero….. Sadly not. MK left the building almost immediately after the last note on stage. His Bass Tech struggling to keep up behind him. So, we realised that night, that NO, L42 don’t tolerate shit playing or memory loss. Gary Husband was great after the gig. Offered us a beer in the dressing room which we politely declined. I think they feared the reprisals back at the hotel though. I did feel for MK. Because I’ve seen them a few times and they always play at a stunning level. But if your going to fuck it up, the last place you want to be doing that is Ronnie Scott’s. So I don’t blame them for being a bit peeved.
Great to see the guys back again!!! What was going on with Mike? Hitting a few wrong keys.....really unusual for a musician of Mike's standard!! RIP Boon.....wherever you are, I sincerely hope you have found peace...
I think this has been commented on somewhere before but this is the reason why Wally never went out on tour. On point in the studio but nerves got the better of him live on stage apparently. Phil Gould made this observation in an interview.
+Gill 237 Yea, I saw her support them at Cliffs Pavilion, Southend over a year ago but didn`t realize it was her until I had a chat with her and she told me. You could tell by the smile on her face that this was her favourite track of the night.
Phil Gould always looks so transported with delight when he plays. So fun to watch. Hey, Julian, I'm not up on my Gould family lore -- would I be correct in thinking Alex is the progeny of one of the Gould brothers? If so, which one?
+Julian Hall Makes sense, since he performs on the Watertight album. Would you know if he's the one who sings "Add a Little Peace of Mind?" I live in Canada and had to buy the album on iTunes, so I don't have the credits, and it's been BUGGING ME not to know whose rather reedy voice I'm hearing in that song.
+Lee Brown Not sure. it actually sounds like Phil in a higher octave than normal to me. if I find out, i will come back to you. i have been to Montreal and skiied at Blue Mountain, if you are from the east coast ?
Yes, I'm from Ontario. I've skied once in my life, and it was at Blue Mountain during reading week waaaay back in the 80's. Thanks for the info about the song -- it sounds like Phil to me, too, but it seemed odd that he would choose to sing just that one song on the album.
@@JulianHallLevel42 Yolanda also very good bass player. Remember seeing her support Level 42 on one of their tours and bought a couple of her CDs and had a chat with her🤙
+George Wong Hi George. At least you like one out three of the tracks! To be honest, I don`t think they had practised but that`s what made the night quite unique. It was like a jamming session that we watched - warts and all.
Whoops, sounds like wally is a bit rusty here. He should have practiced it a little more before performing it again. It is a bit of a tricky thing to play for sure!
When I spoke to Wally afterwards, I asked him why he never performed with Mark, Mike, Boon and Phil at the beginning and he said it was because he was frightened of making a mistake!
I'm sure she's a good musician and bassist, but the task of fitting into Mark's bass part is too demanding ...sorry. no sound, no pressure, too lost in the mix
I think you’ll find Yolanda is better schooled in music theory than Mark. And her playing has a much wider versatility of styles than Mark’s. Due to the varied session work she’s done. One of Britain’s great bassists.
We love you Wally!

Fantasic live rendition.....with the infamous Wally Badarou!!
I chatted to Wally after the gig. He's a really nice bloke Martin.
Great to see Phil, Mike, Wally..thanks
You`re welcome.
Phil, Wally, and Yolanda together is
Superb.
Great to see the guys back again!!! What was going on with Mike? Hitting a few wrong keys.....really unusual for a musician of Mike's standard!!
RIP Boon.....wherever you are, I sincerely hope you have found peace...
It was Wally being a wally my friend not Mike.
@@JulianHallLevel42 Apologies to Mike!! The consummate professional!!
Looks like everyone was having fun!!
@@HandmadeProps Yolanda couldn't stop smiling.
Those chords must be more difficult than they sound!
Go Yolanda my favourite female bassist top drawer as always!!
Sounds like even Wally hits a few bum notes hehe and Yolanda has a few wry smiles. The look on Lindup face at the guitarist haha
That`s why Wally never played live with level 42. He told me he was too worried he`d cock things up. Yolanda definitely enjoyed herself.
Yolanda Rainsford Brent....... bats for England and plays wonderful bass too?????? 😊
Phil Gould: Brilliant!!!
Yolanda really is nailing this...
She's a good bass player and very easy to talk to too.
Particularly when keeping in mind that she’s playing with co-founders of a great band which bass guitarist is a living legend.
Simple comment: bass is fantastic!!!!
Yep, Yolanda is pretty damn good. She supported L42 a few years ago and I saw her then as well.
Phil Gould :D
fandabby tastic,love phill gould ,and this great pice of vid,tops xxxxxxxx
You`re welcome, Chaz. I`m seeing Phil again in October so stay tuned.
Hi,Mate I meet phill first gig they did Ipswich regent,back in the day,top drummer and person,they blew me away ,,,,,,,was a great night.x,
I saw them in Ipswich in 84 I think (True Colours tour). Was it the same gig?
hi mate it was level 42,after erarly tapes mate,but I have seen them a few times mate,allways blow me away..take care,chaz,,,
Well, it makes painful listening. But it’s great to see Phil Gould. Peerless as always. He could play some Saucepans and deliver sonic perfection.
this is so awesome. how did I miss this.
Not sure but this is why I post so many live clips so other fans like you don`t miss out.
Thanks! Subscribed
I am seeing Mike and Phil next week so i should have some uploads then. Welcome to the gang.
Such a difficult watch!
I'm back in Hitchin 😊
Yolanda has such a 'smiley' face ... a great positive vibe when she plays...
She's very nice to talk to as well Jack.
I think this has been commented on somewhere before but this is the reason why Wally never went out on tour. On point in the studio but nerves got the better of him live on stage apparently. Phil Gould made this observation in an interview.
I asked him myself at this gig about that and he said it was because he didn't want to make a mistake.
This is awesome!
+Gill 237 Yolanda is good isn`t she ?
+Julian Hall She's very cool! What a great group of musicians at 606 Club.I saw Yolanda once with the The Deep Mo when they supported Level 42.
+Gill 237 Yea, I saw her support them at Cliffs Pavilion, Southend over a year ago but didn`t realize it was her until I had a chat with her and she told me. You could tell by the smile on her face that this was her favourite track of the night.
Female Bass players are always beautiful and cute and they sound Awesome..
I chatted to Yolanda after the gig and I can confirm that she is lovely.
Great stuff!!

Lee, I thought you would like to know that I recently posted "All in a day`s work" from this night: th-cam.com/video/liJbd33SL_E/w-d-xo.html
Must have been a great night this Julian. 🤙
Very raw as they literally set up the stage and start playing Matthew.
@@JulianHallLevel42 Yolanda also very good bass player. Remember seeing her support Level 42 on one of their tours and bought a couple of her CDs and had a chat with her🤙
@@matthewaitken9937 Yep I had a good chat with her at this gig.
I learned how to groove from Phil Gould.
Directly or just watching him Jim?
Awwww can’t someone take this offline. I don’t think this does anyone any favours.
What don't you like about it?
I had that thought. Had to listen twice to believe my ears. Only really Yollander holding it together.
Is that Mike or wally on the keys
It was Wally making the mistakes. I spoke to him afterwards and this is why he never toured with band.
@@JulianHallLevel42 wally making mistakes not him
v cool.
+George Wong Hi George. At least you like one out three of the tracks! To be honest, I don`t think they had practised but that`s what made the night quite unique. It was like a jamming session that we watched - warts and all.
opps, out of timing, feel sorry for the bass player, but handed it well to get into the timing,
Could not get through this tune. So bad.
Ropey or what!!😂
Live and raw music for you I guess William.
Whoops, sounds like wally is a bit rusty here. He should have practiced it a little more before performing it again. It is a bit of a tricky thing to play for sure!
When I spoke to Wally afterwards, I asked him why he never performed with Mark, Mike, Boon and Phil at the beginning and he said it was because he was frightened of making a mistake!
oh dear
+Discordinated brad lee Yolanda enjoyed it!
Can nobody hear? - this is absolutely ATROCIOUS, really!
Wally messed up a few times , but Adolf hitler on guitar didn’t help much either .
😂
whats going on with those bum notes? lol
Thay`s why Wally never performed live with the boys in the early days. He actually told me that himself, Richard.
Heathrow is one of the best musical discoveries I've made in the last 10 years. Such a great track.
Horrible sound but nice to see Yolanda 😍
Drums stop very bad very bad......
Always liked that joke, but could never tell it as well as...MK
I play Heathrow much better on guitar lol
Sign that man up!
I'm sure she's a good musician and bassist, but the task of fitting into Mark's bass part is too demanding ...sorry.
no sound, no pressure, too lost in the mix
@and321now and I don’t need yours neither
It’s just the song needing a better bass
I think you’ll find Yolanda is better schooled in music theory than Mark. And her playing has a much wider versatility of styles than Mark’s. Due to the varied session work she’s done.
One of Britain’s great bassists.
